Chapter 466 Menu The girl pursed her lips, her expression cool, her tone devoid of any emotion, âBecause Iâm not interested in dating right now, and I donât have time for it. So, Iâm sorry, but I canât accept it.â
The crowd erupted into noise again.
Lennon raised an eyebrow, a smile forming at the corner of his lips.
He was very satisfied with this answer.
After speaking, Mariela turned and left, never taking the bouquet of roses.
Lennon knew that Mariela had many suitors in college. She might have rejected confessions like this over a dozen times a year, so it was normal for her not to remember what the confessors looked like.
But Lennon remembered the name and face of every person who had confessed to Mariela.
So, when he saw Bryce with Mariela at the restaurant on Valentineâs Day, he felt a real sense of crisis.
Recalling this, Lennonâs eyes darkened, âI didnât expect that after all these years, you still havenât given up.â
Bryce smiled, calm as ever, âI have to thank Mr. Stark for giving me the opportunity.â
Lennon narrowed his eyes warily, âStay away from her.â
Bryce raised an eyebrow slightly, âWhat right do you have to say that to me, Mr. Stark?â
Lennon snorted, âYou wonât have a chance. Mariela only has me in her heart.â
Bryce wasnât angered, remaining as composed as ever, âThen letâs wait and see.â
That night, Mariela had a nightmare.
In her dream, she was running across a desolate, endless wasteland.
Behind her were vicious criminals.
She ran desperately forward, but suddenly the scene shifted. Her neck was grabbed, and Nikolasâs face loomed large in front of her. His smile was cold and sinister, like a demon from hell coming to claim her life.
Breathing became increasingly difficult. Just as she felt she was about to die, the scene changed again. She saw her sister Angelica tied to a chair, and Nikolas was pouring gasoline on her while laughing.
âNo! Stop!â Mariela screamed, âDonât touch her! Stop!â
Suddenly, Nikolasâs face twisted grotesquely, turning into Jakob.
âGo to hell.â Jakobâs face twisted in rage, splashing concentrated sulfuric acid at her.
Mariela screamed and woke up from the nightmare, sitting up in shock, drenched in cold sweat.
The night was silent.
In the darkness, the womanâs rapid breathing was especially clear.
It took a while for Mariela to calm down.
Her phone screen lit up.
Mariela picked up her phone and looked at it.
3:00 AM.
An anonymous text message appeared on her phone.
âIf want your you sister to live, do exactly as I say.â
