"..." Tricia's voice caught in her throat.
For some reason, Heloise's gaze made her feel insane, as if Heloise could stab her to death in front of everyone the next moment.
"Tricia..." Heloise spoke coldly while holding her chin, "...please understand, it's not that I can't handle you; I just don't want to deal with you."
Tricia wanted to speak but couldn't due to Heloise's firm grip on her chin, almost dislocating it.
"If you can't keep quiet from now on, I'll have to intervene. Understand?" Heloise's eyes were icy, devoid of emotion.
Tricia was someone she selected to leave for Reginald. What she valued in Tricia was her willingness to fight for him. But if this mouth doesn't stop, and she were to mute her, she believed that Reginald wouldn't have any major objections at the moment.
Tricia, seeing the fleeting thoughts in her eyes, seemed to be truly considering how to make herself shut up. Suddenly flustered, she stopped struggling altoge
If this were in a slum, seeing snakes would really light everyone up; after all, it's an extra meal.They're a group who hasn't seen much.Heloise stood there for a moment, then set her bag aside, rolled up her shirt sleeves, and grabbed the mop bucket left by the janitor before moving forward.Placing the bucket on the ground, she bent down, grabbed a snake slithering on the floor, then deftly tied it into a knot like a rope before tossing it into the bucket."!!!"All her colleagues had climbed up high, and at this moment, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.Catching snakes bare-handed?No way.Is she pretending?Is she even a woman?At that moment, the astonishment far exceeded the fear.The girl with the innocent face continued to move around the office, calmly picking up snake after snake as if picking up twine. Not a hint of fear showed on her fair little face, not even a crease on he
“Don't worry, I won't engage in such petty behaviors.”Another person expressed their stance to Heloise.“You saved us today. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on, making sure Adam and the others don't dare to act out again,” said several people around Heloise.“…”What's going on with these people? Weren't they trying to curry favor with her? How did they suddenly change sides in such a short time?Tricia stood there, her expression grim.Heloise sat calmly, raising her eyes to Tricia and giving a nonchalant “Oh.”Everyone followed her gaze to Tricia, and there was a moment of stiffness. This incident was somewhat related to Tricia, but she hadn't instructed them to go after Heloise.The atmosphere felt strangely tense.Soon, someone laughed nervously. “Tricia, you're back! You were lucky you weren't here earlier. Suddenly, the office was filled with snake
"No."Reginald held her tightly.Heloise gritted her teeth and shrunk her body, slipping out from his arms.Reginald attempted to catch her, but failed. Irritated, he reached for her, pulling her towards him and kissing her forcefully. "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Let's continue playing."Heloise still wanted to break free, but Reginald pulled her back onto the bed and started fooling around with her.…In the office, colleagues remembered her heroic act of catching snakes and, understandingly, ceased their antagonism. This made Heloise's internship path particularly smooth.Her documents were impeccable, and there wasn't a single mistake in the legal texts she handled, which left her superiors very satisfied."This document contains the latest perfected laws for the slums. Once you've organized and verified it, we can make it public."The leader handed her a document.Heloise accepted it,
"Brother, wait for me." Tricia glanced at Heloise and softly called out, catching up to Reginald and brushing his arm with her finger.Reginald glanced at her sideways but didn't stop, continuing forward. Tricia walked alongside him.Heloise stood still, quietly watching the backs of the two, feeling a faint sense of strangeness pass through her heart. Her expression remained calm, showing little emotion.Is this going to be alright? It really caught her off guard.She thought that Tricia chasing after Reginald would take as long as rebuilding the slums.Once Reginald left, the guards followed suit, leaving the office to them.Heloise withdrew her gaze, carrying the documents into the office and sitting at her desk, ready to work. She tried to start her computer, but it showed a black screen.Heloise was annoyed. She clicked the mouse a couple of times, and large blocky characters began to flash on the screen."Miss me?"
Reginald stood up from the ground, delivering heartless words.Tricia sat on the ground, her heart wrenched by his words.He couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she intentionally incited those people to target Heloise. Yet, despite this, he almost killed her for Heloise. She had risked her life for him!"Brother, has she ever saved you?" Tears streamed down her face as she asked softly.Reginald turned, buttoning his cuff and reaching for the watch on the table. His movement paused at her words before he put on the watch."How much has she sacrificed for you? Why is she the only one for you?" Tricia questioned as she watched his back.The only one for you.Reginald had never thought of those four words. To him, he was simply interested in Heloise. Every aspect of her fit his taste.Her presence filled the loneliness he had endured for over a decade. Was she really the only one for him?If it were someone else...
The BlueWolf on PHOENIXFELL Country border was a solitary mountain surrounded by cliffs.This was a slum.The helpless elderly people who lack self-care ability, the severely disabled, and also the psychotics were all thrown into the mountain, left to fend for themselves.There was no internet, no electricity, and no supply of daily necessities.There was no law, no constraint, either.This was the purgatory of the world.The dark sky cast a layer of black in this mountain.Below the old dying tree, a young girl sat huddling on the ground, her pale clothes covering her fragile body, her long hair falling down, and her face terrifyingly pale, stained with blood.Heloise was biting her nails; her eyes were calm and indifferent as she looked ahead.Someone loitered around naked; Someone jumped off the cliff in an attempt to escape; Someone silently sharpened a stone and cut his wrist.It had been quite common for Heloise since she was abandoned here by Brady Brook, her foster father, thr
Hardly had his voice faded away, Heloise's hand was grabbed, and the electronic lock ring on her slender wrist was revealed.Inside the electronic lock, there was the identity information of all so-called psychotic people when they were sent to this slum.In order to be accepted by the slum, the Brook’s had Heloise’s identity forged as a mentally ill and homeless individual without the ability to take care of themselves.Someone scanned with his cellular phone and reported, “Mr. Wordsworth, it's a psychotic definitely.”“Any detail?”“She was sent over here three years ago, 21 years old now, without specific identification information. She should be a homeless woman diagnosed with schizophrenia.”“21 years old.”The man repeated the number with a gloomy and contemptuous tone, “This woman who should have been in the slum since birth was not discovered and sent over till the age of 18?”“……”What does it mean to be in the slum from birth? What nonsense is it!Heloise lowered her head an
On the high rooftop of the bizarre hut in the distance, several teenagers gathered together to see what had happened. “How weird! Heloise is skilled enough to seize the weapons to kill the baddies for self-defense. Why would she willingly leave with them?” A teenage boy was lying on the edge of the rooftop, wearing a pale hospital uniform and staring blankly in the direction of the helicopter. “Firstly, Heloise really wants to leave here.” Someone answered. “What about the second one?” The little boy continued to ask. “Secondly, Heloise is so smart that she knows that the man who takes her away is not easy to cope with. That's Mr. Reginald Wordsworth!” Standing alone on the rooftop, looking out at the seaside, seeing Heloise had already been taken into a helicopter, the answerer added. "If you could also get out of BlueWolf Mountain one day in the future, you’d better take a detour when you hear the name Reginald Wordsworth, who is even more difficult to deal with than the Kin
