Chapter 123: Perforated eardrum
Jeslyn’s heart thumped louder and fiercer like it would fly out of her chest any minute. Maverick can’t be that wicked, right? She opened and closed her mouth but no words came out of her throat.
Yes, she sought vengeance, but it wasn’t against the innocent. She was only after Ray and his sister, then her Chen family.
"I’m... I’m sorry," that was all she could say. No wonder he drank so much. No wonder he sounded like a dying man.
Ray chuckled. "It’s not your fault, Jeslyn. I know that you wouldn’t have allowed it if you knew. You are a good person, so I’m pleading with you, do not turn evil. Do not let vengeance consume you. We will all pay for what we do. It might take a while but all evildoers will face retribution one way or the other. Just like I’m facing mine now.
The other two people, I don’t know who they are but I suspect Frank is one of them."
"Yo– your friend?" She asked.
"Yes. Frank loves you and has been stalking you since forever. He became friends with me just to be close to you. He killed my sister as revenge for what I did to you.
Jeslyn, you need to know this, Frank is a psychopath. He is obsessed with you... Beware of Emilee and Fran..."
Jeslyn detected the quickening of his voice, like someone who wanted to immediately pass across important information but his voice abruptly stopped and the next thing Jeslyn heard was a loud, "boom!"
The phone shook and fell off Jeslyn’s hold. Her hand that was holding the phone was trembling. Her eardrum rang loudly and a throbbing headache assaulted her temple.
Jeslyn felt dizzy and her vision turned blurry. A few moments later, blood started to trail down her right ear. She fell on her makeup desk in a dead faint.
