Chapter 202
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 202<\/p>\n
The sudden shout stuns me and I froze in place.<\/p>\n
Above me, a flower pot falls and smashes all over the ground. It is just inches away from me.<\/p>\n
If I had walked another couple of steps, it might have fallen right on my head.<\/p>\n
I touch my unharmed head and feel a lingering fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you hurt?\u201d Frances walks over briskly and frowns as he asks me.<\/p>\n
I shake my head and look upwards. Where did this flower pot fall from? Was it intentional?<\/p>\n
If it is not intentional, then it is too much of a coincidence.<\/p>\n
If it is intentional, who can be so accurate in figuring out the time I walk out of the hotel?<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t figure it out and so I stop trying.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere do you intend to go at this time of the night? Why don\u2019t you stay in your room?\u201d Frances asks sternly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hungry and want to go out for supper.\u201d I purse my lips and say grudgingly.<\/p>\n
The man looks around and asks, \u201cBy yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
I speculate for a moment what he means and I realize that he does not know that Noah has left the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d I reply softly and turn to leave.<\/p>\n
I walk a couple of steps before Frances forcefully pulls me back.<\/p>\n
Another flower pot crashes right in front of me!<\/p>\n
Who is it?!<\/p>\n
This time I\u2019m absolutely sure that it is done intentionally. It may be an accident when it happens once but a second time means that someone is targeting me!<\/p>\n
Whitney laughs disdainfully, \u201cThe world is so huge with all sorts of strange things. It\u2019s just a coincidence. What\u2019s so strange about it? You said that I intentionally want to hurt you, do you have any evidence? Why don\u2019t you tell us what is the relationship between you and my husband, Frances? Speak up!\u201d<\/p>\n
With Whitney\u2019s statement, I am at a loss for words.<\/p>\n
I know that she wants to harm me because of my affair with Frances. I\u2019m sure that she hates me to the bone. Come to think of it, I\u2019m the cause for all these.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, I know that if I persist on, Whitney may resort to scorch earth tactics and reveal my involvement with Frances.<\/p>\n
When that happens, I will be labeled as a mistress for life and that will destroy me.<\/p>\n
Because I do not have any evidence and Whitney is a person of status, the police can only close the case in the end.<\/p>\n
After the police leaves, the three of us remain in the room.<\/p>\n
Whitney laughs coldly where she stands and grinds her teeth while she says to me, \u201cJane, with me around tomorrow, you can forget about winning the competition!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-226","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
