Her words made sense, but the fingers on her chin didn’t move at all.
“So you cback to die?” Verruckt’'s eyes moved from her slightly swollen lips to her red, tear-filled eyes. She
clearly feared death, yet she had returned. It truly puzzled him.
“Alice, if | were you, I'd just take the money and disappear.” His cold, judgmental gaze remained fixed on her.
Allison's eyes began to well up with tears as she heard that.
“I did think about it,” she replied, her voice quiet. “But you and Mr. Williamson have been so good to me. If | left

To anyone else, his words would have sounded like a threat. But for Allison, it wasn’t a surprise. This madman
wouldn't leave quietly, not even in death.
“Then | can only hope we make it through tonight,” Allison said, blinking innocently. “But from the way you're
speaking, it sounds like we might make it, right?”
