She turned stiffly and looked at Winnie.
When she saw the grin on Winnie’s face, Kylie felt a chill run down her spine.
“You are out to get me! Am I right? You aren’t retarded at all! You evil witch!” Kylie cried out furiously as she reached out to strangle Winnie.
Unfortunately for her, she had underestimated Winnie’s agility.
With one swift move, Winnie was able to dodge Kylie’s grasp without breaking a sweat.
At the present moment, both women were standing on different steps of the staircase. When Winnie dodged Kylie, the latter lost her footing, staggered, and fell right onto the ground.
Ha! Serves her right. Winnie sneered and started clapping away.
“Good fall! Well done! You deserve it! Louis, let’s go. I want to eat something delicious.”
Upon returning to the condominium at Aqua Moana, Winnie immediately stopped pretending to be a retard.
She sat down and poured herself and Louis a glass of water each.
Louis was overwhelmed by her kind gesture and quickly accepted the glass. “Mrs. Fairchild, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I can help myself.”
Winnie nodded and put the glass down.
She was exuding an imposing aura as she pointed at the seat facing her and said, “Take a seat.”
“Thank you.” Louis sat down and said, “Liam will need at least a day to apply for the search warrant. I think Zyon will destroy the evidence before that.”
“That’s for sure. How are things on your end? Have you set everything up? Do you have the stuff with you?”
“Yes, it’s here.”
With that, Louis took out a clear plastic bag from his briefcase. There were two beads inside.
They came from the bracelet that Kylie broke at the cliff back then.
Winnie took the bag and nodded. “That’s right. This is what I’m looking for. How about the rest of the beads? Have you hidden them?”
“Yes, I hid them in a more discreet area. I have also scattered a few of the emerald beads on the mountain according to your instruction. Kylie and the others have no idea that you were wearing a wooden bracelet that night. Those emerald beads will be enough to confuse them. But…” Louis hesitated.
Winnie glanced at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“When you went missing, it rained heavily for two days. The beads have been washed into the mud by the rain. Even if the police find them, I doubt they will be able to find Kylie’s fingerprints on them.”
“So, that’s what you are worried about.” Winnie smiled and continued, “It’s a small matter. I’ll handle it.”
