Chapter 1092
Married at First Sight
The thug chose to listen to Serenity and gave Carrie a call.
Serenity told the bodyguards to prop him up for the call. The thug would be panting for air while prostrating and talking at the same time.
Carrie was urged by her mother to call the thugs when the call came in. She happily told her mother, âTheyâre calling, Mom! Theyâre calling! I bet they finished the job.â
She eagerly took the call.
âMs. Jones, we trashed the womanâs car and beat her up. Sheâs knocked out cold but still breathing.
Sheâs not dead. Hurry up and make the final payment. We want to leave Wiltspoon now.â
âItâs good that you didnât kill her. Snap a photo. I need to be sure that you finished the task before I can pay you.â
âWe really beat her up real bad. We left the scene immediately since she was bleeding. How could we possibly have stayed for a photo? Hurry up and pay up. We need to run away.â
âAre you sure you hit the right woman?â Carrie was not scared at all when she heard Serenity was mangled, bleeding, and unconscious. In fact, she felt the thrill. She finally got her revenge.
Serenity should have stayed out of her business. The nerve of Serenity to come in her way! Carrieâs father even had to apologize to Mr. York.
âYes, of course. She has a bookshop at the entrance of Wiltspoon School and drives a national car.
Weâve followed her since she left the bookshop. Thereâs no way we got the wrong person.â
âThatâs her, all right. Okay, Iâll wire the money to you. Take the money and leave Wiltspoon right away.
Delete my number, and donât breathe a word to anyone. Otherwise, I canât help you.
âBut what if youâre scamming me since you didnât take a picture? Iâll pay half of the money and the remainder after Iâm sure the womanâs beaten up tomorrow.â
âCan you give the money straight away? Weâve committed a crime, but youâre holding half the payment now.â
The thug would have given Carrie a piece of his mind if Serenity did not stare at him to stop him from saying more than he should. The thug wanted to crawl through the radio wave and strangle Carrie.
âI have the money, and I keep to my word. Iâll pay the remaining amount when I receive the word tomorrow. In fact, Iâll tip you extra.â
Carrie then terminated the call and went online to wire the funds.
Once the thugs got the money, Serenity gestured for the bodyguards to grab the thugâs phone. They added the thugâs contact number and used the thugâs phone to send the voice recording to one of their phones.
âThe police will be here soon. You should confess your crimes.â
The thugs were at a loss for words.
They were tempted to blast Ms. Jones.
With the bodyguard playing the voice recording, Serenity listened to the female voice and realized that it was not some Ms. Jones. It was Carrie.
Her guess was pretty accurate.
Ms. Jones was a cover name Carrie used.
âSeren.â
Zachary arrived in haste.
Police were dispatched from the nearby police station too. The police car followed behind Zacharyâs personal ride.
âAre you alright, Seren?â
After Zachary got the call from the bodyguard, he ditched his clients and hurried here with his security detail.
He got out of the car and took large strides toward Serenity. Putting his hands on Serenityâs shoulders, he nervously scanned Serenityâs body to make sure she was unharmed. Serenity was fine apart from a few strands of wandering hair. Zachary sighed in relief.
