Chapter 793 Being Crushed into Meat Paste
However, after taking a glance at Emmeline, Keira was taken aback.
She saw that Emmeline was still leaning on the chair, with a faint smile that was lingering at the corner of her lips. Her eyes were as bright as usual, and she didn't seem angry at all.
Stunned, she was confused upon seeing her reaction, and she asked tentatively, "Emmeline, aren't you... angry?"
Hearing that, Emmeline raised her eyebrows.
"Why should I be angry?"
"I..." Keira bit her lip and stopped talking.
But Emmeline smiled.
Then, she said softly, "You're only worried about me, and you didn't mean to criticize me. The truth is always hard to hear. I understand where you're coming from."
Hearing her words, Keira heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she quickly added. "Emmeline, it's good that you understand my intention. Do you still want to leave?"
In response, Emmeline nodded.
Following that, she poured herself a cup of tea, then leaned forward to fill up Keira's cup as well. After that, she replied, "I have to. Keira, I can only tell you that I will never hurt an innocent person. But in this world, there are people who owe me something, and I have to take it back."
"Maybe in your perspective, I am very narrow-minded. But for those who have died, doing so is the only way to justify their deaths, so I have to go."
When Keira heard her explanation, she looked completely confused.
It was obvious that she didn't understand what Emmeline was talking about.
But Emmeline didn't mind as she smiled and pointed to the cup of tea in front of her, then said, "Drink some more, I'll take you home afterward."
Only then did Keira lower her head and look at the tea in her hand. She remained silent for a while and didn't say anything further as she picked the cup and slowly drank the tea.
The two of them rested for a while before walking out of the restaurant.
Emmeline didn't drive. Meanwhile, Keira was just an ordinary worker, so naturally, she didn't have a car.
Therefore, the two of them stood by the roadside to hail a cab.
While they were waiting for the car, they chatted to kill boredom.
After the conversation in the restaurant, Keira knew that she might not be able to change Emmeline's decision.
So, she didn't want to waste her energy. Instead, she began telling Emmeline about her following plans.
With the hundred thousand dollars that Emmeline gave her, Keira was planning to open a clothing store.
Due to the surging trend for e-commerce, brick-and-mortar business was not going well. Therefore, she planned to rent a cheap and small store. The customer traffic was not important because she would only use it to display her clothing. Then she would mainly sell it online.
Keira had always been very interested in fashion design. After graduation, she did not continue her studies, but she did continue to improve her skills outside of school.
Although she couldn't compete with most fashion designers, she was now skilled enough to make her own clothing.
She always had a dream of establishing her own brand, and she had told Emmeline about it before. Therefore, now that there was an opportunity, she would definitely take the chance to give it a go.
First, she would design some clothes that were on-trend and sell them online. Then, she would display some ready-made clothes in the store for customers to visit. The store would be like a working studio, displaying her samples, and people could try them on. She would gradually build her brand from there.
Emmeline didn't know much about the e-commerce world, but as she listened to her, it sounded very well-planned.
Turning her head, she could still see the gleam in Keira's eyes when she described her dream. It was a kind of light that was filled with limitless hope, and it seemed that even Emmeline was infected by her light.
Seeing that, Emmeline was really happy for her.
Who said that living an ordinary life was not good?
Having dreams, having things to do, having people she loved, and having people who loved her...
Wasn't that what everyone was chasing after in life?
With the thought in mind, she smiled irresistibly as she nodded and encouraged her. "From what you said, it seems like a good plan. I have faith in you. You will definitely achieve your dream."
Keira's face flushed with excitement, as she nodded and said, "I will try my best!"
The two of them smiled. At this moment, a black car parked under the shade of a tree not far away. In the car, the person's eyes dimmed as he looked at the girls who were smiling happily by the roadside.
Taking out his cell phone, he took a picture of the ladies and sent it over to someone.
Then, he made a call to the recipient of the message and asked in a deep voice, "Is that her?"
A low and magnetic voice came from the other end of the receiver. "It's her."
Okay."
"After the job is done, the money will be automatically transferred to your family's account. Don't worry about it. "
Hearing that, Bell was silent for a moment before answering with a heavy voice, "Okay."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Clenching the steering wheel, he looked at the figure in the distance, then a cold and cruel smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Immediately, he vigorously stepped on the accelerator and headed toward the direction of where the ladies were standing.
On the other hand, Emmeline and Keira were chit-chatting happily.
Suddenly, Emmeline felt a chill down her spine. It was a unique instinct of someone who had been surviving on the edge of life and death for a long time. Out of the blue, she became alert and felt goosebumps all over her body.
It was too late, and she could only shout, "Be careful!"
The next second, she had already pushed Keira to the ground.
As they rolled on the ground, they could hear a sharp brake of a car. It was so loud that it almost broke their eardrums. Then, it was followed by the sound of the engine as the car turned and continued driving toward their direction.
Without having the time to react, Keira only felt that her body was thrown to the ground by Emmeline. She was in great pain and her head was buzzing.
Then, she felt her wrist tighten, and someone pulled her aside. The wheels of the car almost ran over her body. It was only one centimeter away.
This made her break out in a cold sweat.
Coming to her senses, she looked pale as she raised her head and looked ahead.
It was a black Volkswagen, and at that moment, it was making a turn to head toward them again.
"Emmeline!"
"Get out of the way!"
The speed was so fast that Emmeline only managed to push the dazed Keira away, but she could not avoid the hit in time. With a 'bang', she was knocked down and thrown off to a distance.
"Emmeline!"
Keira let out a shrill cry as she fell to the ground. Her arms and legs were almost all bleeding upon falling on the hard gravel, but she had no time to care about it. Immediately, she stumbled and rushed toward Emmeline.
Not far away, Emmeline spat out a mouthful of blood. She opened her eyes to look toward the car that was driving in her direction.
Emmeline realized that she was the target, and it was obvious that the driver would not give up until she was dead.
Meanwhile, her eyes were cold. Because of the collision just now, she felt excruciating pain all over her body. However, she knew that if she had not learned to protect herself and quickly dodged to the side when she was hit just now so the car only hit half of her body, perhaps she had already been crushed into meat paste.
