"Violette? Where's she?" Silver King bellowed. "You bunch of idiots. Bring her to me now."
The bodyguards and assistants started searching for Violette. She was just by the barrel, standing still.
How did she vanish all of a sudden?
An assistant's flashlight illuminated the female corpse in the barrel, causing him to drop his phone in
shock.
"Ghost. I saw a ghost."
There were trails of blood at the corners of the corpse's eyes and mouth. It looked as if the corpse had
come back to life, quite terrifying.
The assistant, scared out of his wits, bolted. The bodyguards, torches in hand, also pointed their lights
at the corpse's face. Though they didn't scream, their bodies betrayed their fear, and they started to Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
flee.
"Boss. There's a bunch of helicopters coming." The assistant informed Silver King after reaching the
first floor, the sight outside even more terrifying than the ghost.
Silver King, gritting his teeth, lifted his pistol to the corpse's head and pulled the trigger. A series of
gunshots echoed, and the corpse's head was riddled with holes. This was no longer his beloved
daughter; his daughter was the most charming woman in the world, not a horrifying ghost.
Silver King felt it wasn't enough, he raised his gun again and shot at the barrel. "Bite the dust."
"Boss, we better get out of here. There's a fight breaking out outside." The assistant pleaded while
tugging Silver King's arm. "They seem to have hired ShieldGuard Security. It's too late to call for
backup now. If we don't hide, we're toast."
The mention of ShieldGuard Security made Silver King immediately pull out his phone. "I'm ready to
pay double. Can Elijah match me?."
After saying that, he dialed the boss of ShieldGuard Security.
"Silver King, even ten times the cash won't help. It's not that I don't need your money, but you've really
stepped into it this time. Some hacker has dug up all your dirty laundry. Too many people are involved.
If you don't die, all of this will be exposed. You've got two choices now, die or hide where no one can
find you. We'll announce your accidental death then."
The call ended, and Silver King turned pale. He didn't want to die; he still had so much money to
spend.
"Retreat." He gritted his teeth and dashed towards the back door. There was a private helipad with his
helicopter; He had to escape immediately.
Ten minutes later, the villa’s power was restored. Darkness was replaced by light.
“Violette.” Elijah screamed her name hoarsely. His eyes were bloodshot, and the sight of the chaos and
fallen servants on the ground made his heart race.
He went upstairs, and his gaze was drawn to the corpse in the barrel. The blood and holes on the
corpse's face made him gasp.
Her body was cold as ice. He couldn't feel any signs of life from her.
Seeing this, Elijah was shocked. "She's still alive, she must be. She can't be dead, she just can't." He
roared in a low voice.
The doctor withdrew his hand, looking at Elijah with regret. "Mr. Bourne, it seems she has stopped
breathing."
