Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Chapter 88: Please Come Back Earlier



That night Arianna really could not sleep.

When she wrote the transcript, she occasionally heard the discussion of the police officers. For example, Chester’s family members were not at home at this time, as they had just set out to go to a small Southeast Asian country; for example, Chester’s daughter seemed to be connected with the local criminal syndicate, and she got herself into big trouble and had to flee; if this incident was not a pure traffic accident, it was probably related to Chester’s daughter.

She called Charles at dawn. Although she tried to calm down, Charles immediately detected her panic.

She told Charles that she had witnessed a traffic accident at close range, and she thought it was an act of murder and that the deceased had known her for many years.

Charles said, “Don’t think too much. Drink a cup of hot milk. If you can’t sleep, take a sleeping pill. Take a long sleep now. When you wake up, I may have returned.”

“Charles, I have something to say to you.”

“You have to go to sleep now. We can talk when I get back.”

“Please come back earlier.”

“I wish I could be by your side in the next second. I miss you very much. Go to bed early.”

Arianna couldn’t tell him on the phone that Chester’s death was somehow related to her. If she didn’t come back to send him the old receipt, or if she didn’t go to Chester’s cake shop to fetch the things of father and grandfather at all, maybe Chester wouldn’t have died.

Or maybe, Chester would die anyway because he knew something and tried to blackmail someone, but it was also because of her existence.

Anyway, Chester’s death should be related to her.

She could not say that she had checked the information on the blood-stained card. The time-limited international bill of exchange actually showed the amount of four million dollars, provided that Chester could only collect it in a small Southeast Asian country in person. It was the country where his wife and daughter were currently located.

According to her understanding, this bill had been revoked at the moment.

She tossed and turned in bed with an unbearable headache, so she had to take two pills. But the sleeping pills did not play many roles, and she struggled into a state of sleep, but she had nightmares.

She dreamed of various murder scenes, all happening in the places she was most familiar with. Those scenes were so clear and real that she could not escape or help anyone. She had to watch the ongoing crimes but could not scream out.

After a series of nightmares, she got to the final one. She dreamed of peaceful green land, with a stream flowing across and a beautiful landscape in the surroundings. But there was no skylight in this place. Only the demonic lighting was present. The whole picture looked like a giant and illusory stage.

In this nightmare, she saw Travis Cooper dressed in white on the stage, killing people one by one with a sword. Then a girl showed up and gave Travis a blocklist scroll. Travis read the scroll and killed another person. Someone in the crowd moved at the back of Travis, wanting to fight back, and he was killed by the girl using a crossbow. As the stage rotated, Arianna saw the girl was herself, just with a pale and indifferent face like Travis. Travis turned and smiled and said “nice” to her, and she also smiled at him.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she woke up and went to the bathroom. She vomited in the bathroom and only spat out some water because she did not eat anything earlier. At the end of the vomiting, she even saw some blood.

Then she turned on the lamp and took a copy of the Bible from the depths of the bookcase. It was the relic of her old nanny. She held it and knelt in front of the bed. And she finally kept the kneeling position before dawn and slept half-squatting against the bed.

Arianna took a little more sleep during the day and went to the revolving restaurant of the newly built 49-story building. She had an appointment with Charles to have lunch here.

She arrived here more than an hour earlier because she couldn’t avoid thinking of the chaos at home. The location is high enough to overlook the entire city. When a person stood at a high vantage point overlooking the mortal beings, everything looked so small and insignificant.

Charles called again. He had returned to the state but hadn’t reached the city. He apologized and told her that because the airline temporarily canceled a flight, he had to wait for the next flight, and the aircraft could take off after an hour. He would probably be too late for lunch. He suggested that she should eat something first, then take a break or go shopping.

Arianna said, “It doesn’t matter, I got nothing else to do. I am here waiting for you.”

After hanging up the phone, she felt much better. Since she came out of the police station yesterday, she had been short of breath.

Her heart had been very healthy. This bad condition of her only happened because of her conscience and panic.

There were several telescopes on the floor-to-ceiling windows for visitors to see the distant scenery. The magnification was not high. When she felt better, she walked over to use one. She turned the observation angle to the sky and watched the changing cloud pattern in the narrow field of view.

Five minutes after arriving at the revolving restaurant, she found that the building was only a street away from the Transcendence Plaza.

She deliberately ignored this fact and evaded looking at that building every time she turned the telescope in that direction. But that Transcendent Jewels title still got into her eyes from time to time, killing her fun of overlooking the city at high altitude.

Sometime later, Arianna saw the car of the owner of that plaza driving into the green quarantine area of the backyard of the high-rise building. A curiosity suddenly popped up in her spirit. She was falling apart in her mind.

In fact, standing in her position, she could not see the car or see its license plate clearly. At that time, she was only attracted by a car that was able to move freely in a crowded car array. Then, through the telescope, she saw it go behind a wall covered with evergreen trees and then stop in front of the plaza. Two people got out of the car. Although they were as small as pawns on a chessboard in her field of view, she could still feel them familiar to her. And the two were walking into the Transcendent Jewels Headquarters building!
