Bethany raised her brows and asked nonchalantly, âDoes my mother want Linny to go away or
disappear forever?â
âMr. Salvador wants the problem taken care of once and for all.â
Winstonâs face was blank.
âHa. Thatâs vicious of her.â
âIf Mrs. Salvador wasnât vicious, you wouldnât enjoy the privilege you have right now.â
âHmph! Even if Mom didnât do anything, my life wouldnât change.â
Winston looked contemptuously at Bethany through the rear-view mirror. âAre you sure, Ms. Bethany?â
Bethany pursed her lips bitterly.
Shannon resorted to scheming out of desperation, viewing it as the
sole means of unlocking a life beyond that of a mistress.
However, Bethany was a different story. Either way, she was
Gregoryâs daughter, the heiress of the Salvadors.
Shannon often called Bethany an idiot, and Bethany had had enough.
This time, she would do something to prove Shannon wrong.
Bethany wanted to one-up Shannon.
âI have an idea to take down all the troublemakers all at once,
Winston.â Bethany leaned closer to the man, her voice reflecting her
malice.
Winston stared back at her. âWhat do you have in mind?â
âWhy donât we let the bitch meet with that person? We can get back at
them in one go.â
Bethany grinned wickedly. âIâm 100% certain that she is a mole
working for Bella. Justin has too big of an ego to sneak around.
Besides, if she works for Justin, she wonât risk slipping out of the
house at night.â
Winston nodded. âSo youâre telling me to finish off Bella?â
Finish off Bella?
Bethanyâs heart raced nervously, apprehensively, and excitedly.
She always dreamed of feeding Bella to the hounds.
However, Bella was the daughter of the wealthiest man in Hatchbay.
If Bethany were to kill Bella, Wyatt would leave no stone unturned to
find the killer and get even. Bethany would be inviting herself into
trouble.
Still, it was now or never. Bella would leave her security detail behi
to meet with Linny in secret. It was the perfect opportunity to strike
âDo you have the balls to pull it off?â Bethany probed, her gaze
menacing.
âIâm game. Itâs not my first day on the job.â Winston was a former
hitman.
Bella was no threat to him.
With her eyes glistening chillingly, Bethany chuckled. âIn that case, we
should celebrate Bellaâs death tonight.â
Bella and Steven waited in an empty park on the west side of the city.
Given her present reputation and popularity, Bella would stand out in
the crowd, and it would put Linny, her informant, at risk.
Steven kept glancing at the time. The wait was getting to him. âWhy isnât she here yet? I hope
everything is okay.â
Bella frowned worriedly.
âMs. Bella, do you think Linny is meeting with you so suddenly because she has gotten a hot lead on
Shannon?â
âWeâll find out once Linny is here.â
Soon, a flurry of footsteps drew close.
âMs. Thompson! Ms. Thompson, run!â
Linny, pale in the face, scrambled over in sweat. âIâve been followed.
They tracked me here. Run, Ms. Thompson!â
Bella held Linny, who had gone limp with fear. Her eyes were
determined, and she said firmly, âDonât be scared. I wonât let anyone. hurt you.â
