Chapter 138 Today Is the Day You Die
"Seriously, Margaret's just a total flirt, always hitting on dudes. She doesn't deserve your kindness," Lucy kept trash-talking Margaret. "She was with Lyle before, and she hooked up with Samuel too. Now, even in Fleurancia, she's out at bars late at night, picking up guys. William, she's cheating on you. Why can't you see that?"
"Shut up." Annoyed by Lucy's nonstop yapping, William yanked at his tie and checked his watch. Margaret had been in the restroom forever. Why wasn't she back yet? Did she storm off in a huff?
William grabbed his phone and called Margaret, but it was off. Feeling a bit worried, William got up and headed towards the restroom.
"William, where are you going?" Lucy called after him, but he didn't bother to respond, his mind preoccupied with concern for Margaret.
Lucy jumped up and hurried after him. A flash of evil intent flickered in her eyes. 'By now, Annie should have done the job, right? Margaret, you won't get away this time!'
In the restroom, Margaret stood in front of the sink, splashing cold water on her face, and stared at herself in the mirror. She hadn't slept well last night, and her face looked a bit rough, with noticeable dark circles under her eyes.
Actually, Margaret wasn't completely unaffected by William's actions earlier. William, usually so distant and untouchable, had confessed to her in front of everyone. Anyone would be moved by that.
But last night, William's slip of the tongue, calling her "Marjorie," made Margaret unsure of how real his feelings for her were.
Margaret closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and took a few deep breaths, trying to shake off the weird emotions in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt something cold and sharp against her neck.
It was a knife!
Margaret's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes wide. In the mirror, she saw that the person holding the knife to her neck was Annie.
"Annie, what are you doing?" Margaret asked, keeping her voice steady even though anger simmered beneath her calm exterior. She had been so lost in thought that she hadn't noticed Annie sneaking up on her. If it weren't for William, she wouldn't have been so distracted.
"Margaret, today is your last day!" Annie said viciously, pressing the knife against Margaret's neck.
Annie was a bit thrilled that things had gone so smoothly today. This time, she would make Margaret pay double for the pain she had suffered!
Margaret frowned slightly. 'Hasn't Annie learned her lesson from last time? Why is she messing with me again? If that's the case, I have no reason to hold back.'
"Annie, isn't Bruce in the banquet hall? Why don't you go find him?" Margaret said calmly.
At the mention of Bruce, Annie's eyes darkened. "Margaret, you bitch! If it weren't for you, Bruce wouldn't have dumped me!"
Thinking of Bruce's coldness and her current desperate situation, forced to be with the perverted Joseph, Annie's emotions went wild. "If it weren't for you scheming against me that day, making me a laughingstock in front of everyone, I wouldn't be in this mess now!"
"Oh, you mean that day?" With the knife still at her neck, Margaret stayed cool and smirked. "Weren't you the one who tried to screw me over first?"
Annie's face twisted at Margaret's comeback, and she moved the knife up along Margaret's neck. "Margaret, you're just banking on your looks, huh? Today, I'll mess up your face and see how you seduce men after that!"
"Then go ahead and try!" Margaret seized the moment and quickly struck two points on Annie's hand, causing temporary numbness.
Annie hadn't expected Margaret to fight back so suddenly and was caught off guard. Her hand went numb, and the knife clattered to the ground.
Margaret turned around and saw two burly Fleurancia dudes standing in the restroom.
Annie, furious, shouted at the two men, "What are you waiting for? Grab her!"
Annie thought, 'Luckily, Lucy planned ahead and got these two guys here.'
Looking at Margaret's beautiful face, Annie was filled with jealousy and hatred. She had to ruin that face, ruin Margaret!
"What? Annie, you trying the same old trick again?" Margaret sneered.
Last time, Annie had tried to drug her, and now she had brought two guys to use force? But Annie underestimated her. Did she think these two men could handle her?
The two men exchanged glances and immediately moved to surround Margaret from both sides.
Margaret watched the men approaching cautiously, calculating in her mind. As one of the men reached out to grab her, Margaret executed a perfect takedown, breaking his arm. The man, in excruciating pain, stumbled and fell to the ground. Margaret then kicked the other man in the chest.
"Ah!" Two screams followed as the men hit the floor. They hadn't expected the seemingly delicate woman to be so fierce and quick.
Annie, in disbelief, took a few seconds to react.
Annie yelled at the two men writhing in pain on the ground, "You useless idiots, get up and grab her!"
"Annie, save your breath," Margaret said coldly. If she had used eighty percent of her strength in those moves, the men would probably be bedridden for months.
Margaret smiled coldly. "Annie, now it's your turn."
"Margaret, what are you gonna do?" Annie's face showed fear. She hadn't expected Margaret to be so capable! Even these two strong men were no match for her.
Margaret glanced at the knife on the ground and said coldly, "Weren't you gonna ruin my face just now? Shouldn't I give you a taste of your own medicine? So, do you want me to do it, or will you do it yourself?"
"Margaret, you bitch, stay away from me!" Annie retreated step by step towards the door, hoping to escape the restroom.
But Margaret didn't give her the chance. As Annie was about to reach the door, Margaret grabbed her arm and pushed her back inside.
With a thud, Annie fell to the ground.
When William reached the restroom, he heard the sounds of a fight inside. "Margaret, are you okay?" William's voice was filled with urgency and concern.
