Chapter 33
She quickly wrote two full pages of paper, expressing all the words she wanted to say.
After she had finished writing, she placed the bank card into the will book, and then inscribed the four
words “To Susan, my love” on the envelope.
After pondering for a while, she retrieved a sheet of paper, grabbed the pen and attempted to write
something to Sebastian, yet she was uncertain of what to write.
She wrote his name, put down the pen, folded the letter paper, and placed it in the drawer, all in the
end.
Once she had gone, Susan would certainly return to collect her possessions. When she did, she would
discover what she had left behind
Having completed all her tasks, Scarlett took the medicine to help her body recover from the strain of
the night’s mission; otherwise, all her previous efforts would go down the drain.
After taking her medicine, she unlocked the desk drawer and retrieved the small jar containing the
sleeping pills she had been saving for the past ten days.
Having prepared the sleeping pills, fake contract, and knife beforehand, she took out her phone and
booked a hotel, placing them all in her bag.
After arranging the hotel, she texted James the address.
She didn’t add James on WhatsApp, as she remembered he had sent her a text message before, so
she used that to send him the address.
[Mr. Forrest, you are awaited in Room 2088 of the Royal Hotel.]
She assumed James would come right away when he saw the text message, yet she hadn’t anticipated
his response to be a question mark.

Scarlett, upon seeing the question mark, frowned slightly. Hadn’t they agreed to present him with the
contract tonight?
Just as she was puzzled, the other party sent another message: “Wait for me.”
Scarlett finally overcame her doubts, so she hung up the phone and retrieved the sleeping pills.
She poured the entire contents of the jar into the wine cup, grabbed the short knife, and used the tip to
grind the medicine into a fine powder.
This time, she was determined to kill James, no matter the cost.
She did not want to be manipulated by him, nor did she want to involve Susan. She had no other option
than to kill him!
She crushed the medicine, picked up the wine bottle, and poured the red wine inside before hiding the
short knife under the pillow
Scarlett, having done all this, switched off the lights and settled down on the sofa, waiting in silence.
Approximately twenty minutes later, a knock sounded at the door.
Upon hearing this voice, Scarlett, though she was trying to remain composed, still trembled.
She was nervous and scared, yet now that it had come to this, she had to proceed as planned. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
She placed the bottle in her hand on the surface, took a deep breath to compose herself, then walked
to the back of the door and opened it slowly
The man who appeared outside the door had his entire face concealed by a golden-bronze mask.
Scarlett, upon first sight of him, felt an unease and wanted to shut the door, yet he barged right in.
The man forced his way in and, with a deft flick of his hand, switched off all the lights in the TOONI.
The room was studdenly plunged into darkness, and only the light outside the window illuminated the
figure of the other person standing there.
Scarlett’s body trembled as she looked at the man standing in the direction of the door.
It wasn’t James standing in front of her at all!
He had a similar height and figure to Sebastian.
However, Sebastian had a faint scent of snow pine, whereas the person who came had a strong aroma
of water.
Sebastian’s hair had always been meticulously styled, but the person who arrived had disheveled hair.
Sebastian was accustomed to donning business attire, but he had on casual and relaxed clothing.
Sebastian would never wear a dress consisting of a white shirt paired with brown nine cents pants.
Furthermore, his exposed collarbone bore a long and thin tattoo of a fierce green dragon pattern.
Sebastian’s mysophobia was so severe that he was unable to get a tattoo or meet her in that manner.
After Scarlett had excluded Sebastian, she immediately confirmed that the person before her was a
stranger, one who had been masquerading as James!
