Chapter 267
She changed the subject, “Tell me, how can I help you?”
Selena took another sip of her coffee but felt something was off.
So much so that even though Harriet had started speaking, and she could see her lips moving, she just couldn’t make out what she was saying.
“Harriet, do you think I’ve been too tired lately because of the
pregnancy? I seem to have tinnitus. What are you saying? I can’t hear a single word.”
As she said that, Selena yawned.
She felt unusually lethargic, “I’m so sleepy!”
The next second, she collapsed onto the table.
Harriet, seeing Selena faint in front of her, immediately realized something was wrong.
She reached for her phone, but a wave of dizziness hit her hard.
Unprepared, Harriet also fainted onto the table.
Before losing consciousness, she finally remembered-the coffee they drank was tampered with!
After the two had passed out, a woman and a person in black slowly entered the private room.
The woman was Nora.
After being sent to prison by Harriet, Nora did everything possible to contact the person in black and secured one last chance for herself.
This time, she was determined to get rid of Harriet once and for all!
Even if it meant Harriet would have to die with her this time, she wanted Harriet dead!

“I’ll finish her off now and take her head back to report to my boss,” said the person in black as he moved toward Harriet.
“Wait, letting her die like this is too easy for her. Plus, she’s Delbert’s wife. If she dies like this, Delbert will surely trace it back to your boss. That would be more loss than gain,” Nora said with a sneer.
Hearing that, the person in black returned, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. If you handle this cleanly, my boss said she can give you a sum of money to smuggle you out of the country.”
“Don’t worry, this time I’ll make sure Harriet has no way to escape!” Nora said maliciously, her face twisted to the extreme with overwhelming hatred.
The person in black nodded and immediately proceeded to take the car key from Harriet. Then he gestured with his eyes for his subordinates to take the two women away.
Meanwhile, the security guard in the café woke up from his slumber and looked at the now-dark surveillance monitor with confusion.
When did the power go out?
Since the entire building had lost power, the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot didn’t capture how the person in black and Nora managed to get Harriet and Selena into the car or how the car left the parking lot.
After putting the two in the car, the person in black drove while Nora sat in the passenger seat.
The car headed towards the outskirts of Meawood City.
Finally, it stopped by a small hillside
Getting out of the laceriith the person in black, Nora coldly lo the back seats where clarrien and Selena lay.
