Chapter 191: “Disappearance” (3)
Everly knew that the Bianca Doreen was talking about was most likely an unknown creature impersonating her, not Bianca herself.
Even so, just as her investigation had barely begun, the suspicious fake Bianca suddenly went offline, and this unexpected development still left Everly feeling at a loss.
She even entertained a somewhat conspiratorial thought: could the fake Bianca have discovered the surveillance from her and Natalie, and deliberately “died” to escape?
At any time, her own safety came first. Therefore, when the situation was unclear, Everly did not rush to the drama club where Bianca had died to investigate. Instead, she shoved a wad of cash into Doreen’s hands and had her “check things out” for her.
“Um… Bianca… her death wasn’t caused by you, right?” Doreen clutched the unexpectedly large sum of money. After hesitating for a long time, her face showed a mixture of suspicion and fear, as if she were ready to face death.
“….”
Was she seriously asking that so directly? That was way too blunt. If she really were a murderer, wouldn’t Doreen basically be walking into a trap herself? No wonder American horror films love using college students as protagonists—so innocent and naive, they really are perfect cannon fodder…
Doreen still needed to act as Everly’s “eyes” and gather information for her, so Everly immediately denied her suspicion: “No, of course I didn’t kill her. It’s just a cheating boyfriend—it’s not a big deal. If this one doesn’t work out, just get another. Besides, I’ve been here the whole time, I didn’t have the chance to do anything.”
“Right…” Hearing this, the suspicion on Doreen’s face faded, replaced with embarrassment. “Sorry, it’s just that Bianca’s death came so suddenly that I couldn’t help overthinking.”
