Chapter 353: Only the Dead Tell No Tales

“Shut up! Just shut up! I’ll kill you on the spot if you dare bring up my past again!” Waverly completely lost her patience and, with a swift motion, pushed Mindy, causing her to tumble down.

As Mindy was forcefully pushed, her entire body hit the wall, causing a deep wound to form on her head. Blood seeped through the gauze, and a wave of intense dizziness washed over her. Clutching her painful wound, she finally managed to steady herself before she said viciously, “How dare you lay a hand on me! It seems you can’t even tell the difference between who has the upper hand! Do you think you can just walk all over me without any consequences?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mindy rushed over and got into a scuffle with Waverly. Amidst the chaos, a fruit knife appeared in Waverly’s hand. The blade went in clean, but came out stained with blood, leaving a bloody hole in Mindy’s arm.

“Drop dead!”

Overwhelmed with fury, Waverly lunged again, her knife aimed at Mindy’s throat. Mindy was dumbfounded. She could never have anticipated that Waverly would actually bring a knife. She’s clearly intent on killing me!

Just at the moment the knife was thrust down, Mindy swiftly turned her head, dodging the knife, and with all her strength, she pushed Waverly away. Waverly, being thinner than her, was shoved several meters away. Seizing the opportunity, she sprung to her feet and dashed toward the stairs with all her might. As she ran, she cried out loudly, “Help! Murder! Someone come save me!”

At this point, it was the middle of the night, so her cries for help were particularly piercing. As Waverly grew increasingly anxious about her secret being exposed, her determination to kill Mindy intensified. Tonight, either this woman perishes, or I flee!

With a fiery determination in her eyes, Waverly disregarded her own safety and hoisted herself up, chasing after Mindy. Mindy mustered every ounce of strength she had as she dashed downstairs. Unbeknownst to her, the floor below was secured with a locked iron door, so she was soon cornered into a dead end.

“Calm down, Waverly! Murder is a crime; you mustn’t act rashly! As long as you spare my life, I promise you, I will never ask you for money again, nor will I ever reveal your past deeds. Waverly, you have to believe me!” Mindy implored anxiously.

“Heh. A crime, you say? You, a greedy and hypocritical villain, are lecturing me about the law? People like you only shut up when you’re dead! Have you ever heard this saying? Only the dead tell no tales! So, why would I keep a liability like you around?” Waverly scoffed disdainfully.

She raised the knife, advancing steadily, her eyes shimmering with a lethal glint. Mindy pleaded desperately, “Waverly, we’ve grown up together as besties! I beg you, please don’t kill me! I’m sorry. I truly am! I beg you to spare my life! Please let me live!”

“Of course. I’ll give you a chance!” Waverly let out a cunning, almost eerie laugh as she continued. “However, it won’t be…”

Blood gushed out, much like a waterfall. One stab, then another, and another. Waverly had no idea how many times she had stabbed Mindy. It was only when Mindy had ceased to struggle entirely, unable to utter even the slightest sound, that she finally stopped.

“It was you who provoked me first; I’ve tolerated you long enough, so I have shown the utmost kindness and righteousness. In life, it’s every man for himself. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s yourself for courting disaster, insisting on pushing my limits.”

She cast a cold gaze at Mindy, who was lying in a pool of blood, and gave her another kick, making sure she was completely dead before she hastily left.

After leaving the crime scene, Waverly made a phone call and said, “I’ve killed someone, can you guys clean it up? Handle it just like how you did with my past. Make sure the police and any third party can’t uncover the truth. If you can take care of it neatly, I’ll reward you with ten million!”

Ten minutes after Waverly left, a slender man silently appeared beside Mindy. He saw Mindy’s eyelids still trembling, but he remained silent, making no moves, simply watching her quietly. After a long pause, he finally said nonchalantly, “Do you want to live? If you say you do, I’ll save you!”

Noticing the presence of someone nearby, Mindy suddenly opened her eyes, only to find that it wasn’t Waverly standing before her. She let out a feeble plea. “Save me… I want to live…”

“Do you really want to live? Tsk, tsk. Look at you now. Even if you survive, you’ll be nothing more than a cripple,” the man said disdainfully.
