A few bodyguards picked up the woman’s corpse and placed it into the wooden tub.
Averie saw the different levels of anxiety on the men’s faces.
No matter how beautiful she was, nobody would be able to appreciate the beauty of a thirteen year-old corpse.
The dead were not frightening, what was scary was the fear of the unknown.
“What do we do next, Miss Tate?” asked the assistant.
“Now, we wait,” Averie said calmly as she stood next to the tub.
The assistant was surprised and asked, “Wait for what?”
“Wait for her to come back to life.” After Averie said those words, she began to feel terrified. She looked out the window, then said, “Don’t you think it’s dark in here? Turn on the lights!”
The assistant felt that she was babbling, but signaled to the bodyguard next to him anyway.
The bodyguard flipped the light switch, but the chandelier on the ceiling did not light up.
Sparks of hope began to rise inside of Averie when she witnessed this scene.
“What’s wrong?” The assistant walked over to the light switch and flipped it again, but the chandelier remained off.
“Stand guard here! I’ll go check the electrical room!” the assistant said, then walked away.
At that moment, the ceiling lights on top of David also went out.
He was entertaining guests in the VIP room when the lights suddenly went out!
Since the night had approached, the room was shrouded in darkness once the lights were out.
David thought that the lights had malfunctioned , but his assistant rushed over and told him that their power was out!
He thought that he had heard wrongly. He had never once experienced a power outage since his birth, because the mansion had plenty of backup generators.
“Sir, the technicians are working on it right now. The power should be back soon,” said the assistant
When the guests realized that the power was out, they all quickly left the mansion.
The sky turned pitch blank in an instant. With the power out, the mansion was shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.
“Where’s Averie Tate?!” An ominous feeling rose inside of David. “She’s upstairs. The bodyguards are watching her!” said the assistant as he followed next to David. “Someone infiltrated and damaged the mansion’s electrical circuit. It was definitely Averie Tate’s people. I suspect they will strike tonight.”
David had already guessed it.
The key issue right now was that, without electricity, he felt like he had turned blind.
“How about the emergency lights?!” he snapped frustratedly.
The assistant turned on the torch on his phone and said, “The emergency system was also damaged. The technicians will fix it as soon as possible.”
“What a bunch of good-for-nothing idiots! We have all those backup generators. Were they all damaged?!” David’s rage had reached a boiling point.
“Yes, Sir,” answered the assistant nervously. “They might have damaged our electrical circuit, but we don’t have to be afraid with Averie Tate in our hands!”
A group of people very quickly arrived on the second floor.
“Averie Tate! Is your man coming to save you tonight?” David teased as he pulled out a handgun. “Try to guess and see if you can leave this place alive!” What responded to him was nothing but endless silence.
“Where’s Averie Tate?!” David roared. “You bunch of idiots! Find her and bring her to me!”
The bodyguards and assistant immediately began to search for Averie.
She was just standing by the tub and did not move. How did she suddenly disappear?
The assistant’s torch shone over the corpse soaking in the tub, and he dropped his phone to the ground.
“It’s a ghost! A ghost!”
Blood was oozing out of the corners of the corpse’s eyes and lips.
It looked like the living dead and was terrifying!
The assistant fled in fear.
The bodyguards aimed their torches at the corpse’s face.
Nobody screamed, but they immediately began to flee the room.
“Sir! There are a bunch of helicopters outside!”
When the assistant fled to the first floor and discovered what was outside, he was even more terrified!
David gritted his teeth, then raised his fun and began to shoot at the corpse’s head.
The corpse’s head began to tear apart as the bullets hit it.
This was no longer his beloved daughter. His daughter was the most beautiful woman in the world, and not a horrifying ghost!
As if that were not enough, David aimed his gun at the tub and shot away.
“Go to hell!”
“Let’s go, Sir! Things are beginning to heat up outside!” cried the assistant as he pulled at David’s arm. “It looks like they hired Yves Kant Security! It’s too late to call for backup now! We’re dead if we don’t hide ourselves!”
When David heard Yves Kant Security’s name, he calmly pulled out his phone and said, “Pay them double the amount! Elyette Foster can’t have more money than I do!”
Then, he dialed Yves Kant Security’s manager’s number.
“It’s useless even if you pay us ten times the amount, Mr. Grimes. It’s not that I don’t want wuel
your money, but you’ve really messed up this time! A hacking group dug up all your dirty laundry through the years! Too many people were dragged into this. The scandals will be exposed if you don’t die. You can either die, or escape somewhere where nobody can find you. We’ll announce the news of your accidental death, then.”
After that, the call ended.
The color drained from David’s face.
He did not want to die. He still had a fortune to spend!
“Tsk!” David gritted his teeth and escaped out the back door.
His private jet was parked at the back of the mansion. He needed to leave this place immediately.
Ten minutes later, the mansion’s power returned to normal.
The darkness vanished and gave way to brightness.
“Averie!” Elyette cried out at the top of his lungs.
His heart raced as his reddened eyes glanced over the mess of dead servants scattered on the ground.
When he arrived on the second floor, his eyes immediately landed on the corpse in the tub.
The corpse’s bloody and torn up face made him take in a sharp, cold breath.
Then, he saw the bloody water in the tub…
Averie was soaking it in!
She was leaning against the corpse with a pale complexion, but her arms were bloody!
She was shot!
