Regret Came Too Late

---- Chapter 265 The guy's eyes lit up. "Whoa, gorgeous, you've been there too? I've been telling these clowns, but they don't believe me. They just keep going on about no gambling." "Yep, I've been there. I even ran into him once." "He's scary as hell, right? After he said 'Get rid of him, ' he looked down at me and asked the other dude, 'What's this good-for- nothing doing in here?' I swear, my knees almost buckled." Grace couldn't help but laugh. What was with this overly dramatic talk?

Clearly, this guy was just some lucky stiff who had gotten into The Obsidian once. She shifted in her seat, wanting to sleep, but she still left a final comment. "But if you sawhim and he didn't kill you, doesn't that suggest he's not quite as indiscriminately violent as you're describing him to be?" 'The man's expression hardened instantly. "That's because I'm leaving out the important part. I opened the door to the bathroom, and there were seven or eight bodies inside.

They were all brutally murdered. Their faces were unrecognizable, like they had been beaten to death alive. I was so terrified that I stumbled back, nearly peeing my pants." He had indeed peed himself a little, but in the presence of such a beautiful woman, he was trying to maintain some composure. But the memory seemed to grip him, and his face lost all color. "That would explain the blood on his hands! He had just finished ---- killing them.

The way he looked at me then was like I was nothing more than trash. I was paralyzed with fear. He felt like a soulless creature, a true monster. "When he called me a good-for-nothing, I genuinely felt insignificant, like he could crush me with a mere flick of his finger. Grace's eyebrow arched slightly, and she pushed her unopened 'water bottle toward the man. The man's lips were pale; he was clearly still shaken. "Thanks. Yeah, after that one time, I swore I'd never go back.

It was all gold and glitter inside, real fancy, but the world of the rich is beyond anything we can imagine . Better to just go back home and work the land." Grace smiled faintly. "That's probably true, Here, drink some water. Your lips are white." "Heh, my bad. Didn't mean to scare you." Grace leaned back, trying to relax. She had another quick dream that was set in the same place-that pool in the club.

In her dream, she reached out while feeling disoriented and touched something icy and smooth. She dreamed she pulled off the mask, and her eyes widened in surprise and a bit of awe. The next moment, she snapped awake , her forehead damp with sweat. All that talk from the guy next to her must have gotten to her. She was actually dreaming about some random dude. She wiped her sweaty forehead and finally noticed that the train ---- had stopped. "Siltham," the conductor called.

She quickly got off with her luggage. At the hotel, she booked a room for herself. siltham was a pretty happening county town. It wasn't huge, but it had a great spot right on the coast. Plus, the country across the sea had just announced that Eldorians didn't need a visa to travel to Eastoria, so this place was about to blow up as a major travel link between the two countries.

The fact that Henderson Group was building hotels and malls here was definitely hitting the jackpot with that neighbor's new policies. After dropping off her luggage, she called Tim to ask when they'd arrive. 'Tim glanced at the backseat, where Ethan had been silent since they left, and said quietly, "Another three hours." Taking a car wasn't as fast as the train, and they were taking a different route. Grace settled onto the bed. "Alright, I'll rest for a bit.noveldrama

Call me when you arrive." Half-asleep , Grace heard a lot of noise coming from the hallway and thought she must have misheard. She sat up and listened carefully, but it was definitely Jodie's voice. She was bossing people around about moving stuff. How had she managed to follow them all the way to Siltham? Grace's head started to throb, but Jodie's voice was still echoing from the hallway. ---- "Be careful with that! These are all for my Uncle Ethan.

You think you can afford to replace them if you break them? This too! Sanitize everything. My Uncle Ethan is only staying in this cheap room because he has no other choice. "And this is mine! When he arrives, you tell him there are no extra rooms left. That way, I can stay with him!" Jodie's voice was full of excitement as she continued to instruct the staff. Grace lay back down on the bed. She knew this trip to Siltham was going to be anything but peaceful.
