Chapter 569
Harmony Hill Mansion was as silent as a tomb in the dead of night.
The woman, deeply asleep, suddenly sat bolt upright.
Her face was expressionless, her eyes empty and void of life, and her limbs stiff. She moved off the bed like a specter, mechanically making her way to the vanity to take a seat.
The female bodyguard stationed in the room immediately followed.
"Ms. Alcott, what are you doing?"
There was no response as if the woman hadn't heard her at all. Shocked, the bodyguard flicked on the light.
In the harsh glow, Megan's complexion was as pale as marble, her eyes wide open. She grabbed a lipstick and smeared it across her face wildly, turning herself into a ghastly figure.
Then, on the mirror, she scribbled the words, “I am a bitch!"
Another bodyguard hurried in and stared at the scene in disbelief.
"Is she sleepwalking?"
"It seems so."
After a while, Megan seemed to tire, her eyes closed, and she collapsed.
Together, the bodyguards carried her back to bed.
In the morning, Leopold rushed over right after he received the call.
Megan was curling up on the couch, sobbing and trembling.
"It's a warning from them. If I don't obey, I might not be so lucky next time."
Leopold had the bodyguards pull up the surveillance footage.
The images were disturbing. Megan appeared as though possessed.
He couldn't help but think of the man who had gone mad on the bridge, but it seemed they didn't want to kill her but only to intimidate her.
