From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 811: 405 Threat (Fifth Watch) _3

Peter Aria let out a content sigh, “Oh, Peter, you are such a calamity…”.

Even if she was just craving for this momentary warmth, she was willing to give up everything for it.

Peter Aria, you are the scourge in my life.

Right then, she could sense the man’s calm and steady heartbeat. The tip of her nose was filled with his unique and clean smell of mint, causing her head to spin. She had long forgotten the warning from Virginia Frost.

The more ruthless and dangerous a man is, the more fatally attractive he becomes.

She admitted, she was bewitched.

——

Outside the door, Jenny Linggo couldn’t hide her excitement, “Ms. Aria is such a nice woman, gentle, and elegant. Truly deserves to be brought up in Lostswa. Our ladies in Pethkids simply can’t compare with her.”

Silvia Hayes furrowed her eyebrows, “That’s enough. Can you stop?”.

Jenny Linggo smiled slyly and took Silvia Hayes’s arm, “Of course, Silvia, you share the limelight with her.”

Silvia Hayes retracted her arm, “I don’t think she gets along well with Dr. Aria.”

The siblings seemed to have a questionable relationship.

“Isn’t Dr. Aria like this with everyone? Besides, she’s just his sister, not his wife. There’s no need for him to be so passionate. Dr. Aria is a Scorpio, and Scorpio men are known to be cold outside but warm inside, sexy, and mysterious. They are possessive when it comes to relationships. Dr. Aria demonstrates these traits of a Scorpio very significantly. And the astrologers say the perfect match for a Scorpio man is a Cancer woman. I am a Cancer, so by these deductions, Dr. Aria and I are a match made in heaven.”

Silvia Hayes shrugged off Jenny’s wacky theories and didn’t bother to engage with her.

She stopped a passing nurse and asked, “Excuse me, ma’am, I need to use the bathroom. Could you please tell me where it is?”

The nurse pointed straight ahead, “Right down the hall and turn right.”

“Thank you.”

Silvia Hayes said to Jenny Linggo, “I see that you’re getting along quite well with Ms. Aria, so I don’t want to disturb you. I’ll just use the bathroom and leave. Please make yourself at home.”

With that, she hurriedly left.

Jenny Linggo heaved a sigh of relief. It saved her the trouble of having to ask Silvia Hayes to leave.

Silvia Hayes made it to the hospital building. After Agave Rinto was taken away by the police, the men in black guarding the hospital had left, and she could freely enter and exit the building.

According to the information her mother obtained, Aubree Groove was staying in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital. The entire top floor had been cordoned off, and it was guarded by the Rintos.

Silvia Hayes had doubts about Aubree’s death. Maybe it was a trap.

——

“Oh, this apple is so crisp. Mistress, you should try it.”

The young lady gently shook her head.

She was dressed in white clothes, spotless as a lily, sitting cross-legged on the bed. Her complexion was pale, but it didn’t cover her delicate features. A string of Buddhist beads hung from her fingertips, moving forward leisurely with the passage of time.

Anton Cook sat on a sofa not too far away, sketching in his notebook, immersed in a frenzy of creation.

Dallyn asked curiously, “Mistress, how did you fool that old woman’s assistant?”

Pretending to be dead wasn’t a simple task, especially when the other party wasn’t an easy-to-deceive ordinary person.

Aubree Groove said indifferently, “The human body has numerous acupoints, each with its purpose. By inserting a silver needle three inches into the acupoint located between the second ribs of the sternum, adjacent to the Yingchuang and Yutang acupoints, the heart’s supply of blood can be temporarily stopped, the body temperature can quickly drop, creating symptoms of apparent death, which can last for 180 breaths.”

Dallyn was dumbfounded, “Mistress, you are amazing. Can you teach me?

She adoringly looked at Aubree Groove with starry eyes.@@novelbin@@

Aubree Groove smiled and said, “Sure, if you want to learn.”

It sounded simple, but in practice, it was extremely complex. It required precise control. Even a slight miscalculation could lead to irreparable consequences.

“I wonder how Master McKay is doing now?” Dallyn said with a hint of worry.

Aubree Groove glanced at her, “Patience.”

A skilled hunter often only needs to patiently wait for the prey to fall into the trap.

Pulling the strings.

Aubree Groove felt a bit of regret. An usually calm and rational person suddenly became impulsive and made this situation somewhat uninteresting.

Dallyn went out to take a call and came back to report, “Mistress, Dr. Aria’s sister has come to the hospital looking for her. Jenny Linggo and Silvia Hayes are with her.”

Aubree Groove raised an eyebrow.

As soon as Dallyn mentioned Silvia Hayes, she became infuriated, “Eliza Williams joined forces with Birch Cliff to come to the Rintos’ and make accusations, blaming everything on Jayden Moore. Fortunately, Jayden managed to escape the danger. Eliza Williams can’t be trusted, she wants to take advantage of the situation and seize power. She does not behave like one of the Rintos.”

At the time of great crisis, instead of helping their own family, they joined outsiders to seize power. It was unbelievably foolish.

Eliza Williams was getting more and more muddled with age.

As for Silvia Hayes, mother and daughter shared the same goal, she should not think she could slip away unnoticed.

“When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. That’s human nature,” Aubree Groove said indifferently, her emotions unreadable.

“She thinks it’s a dream, if Master McKay has an accident, she won’t be spared. She can’t be trusted,” Dallyn cursed.

Aubree Groove looked out of the window. The sun was hidden behind dark clouds, casting a shadow over the world.

“The wind is picking up.”

The wind fluttered the gauze curtains, shaking lightly, just like the unpredictable life.

Love and hate, joy, and sorrow, kindness, and resentment, let’s end it all.

——

Belen Philbert was furious, “The Rintos are like grasshoppers after Autumn, they won’t last long. Just you wait.”

Would she want to take care of Aubree Groove’s aftermath? She didn’t want to get her hands dirty.

Just as she was about to leave, she received a call. Belen Philbert’s face softened as she looked at the caller ID.

“Elise, what’s wrong?”

“Ms. Philbert, I hope you are doing well.” A strange voice echoed from the phone, clearly modified.

The color drained from Belen Philbert’s face, “Who are you? Where’s Elise?”

“The little girl is a bit disobedient, but don’t worry, I will discipline her on your behalf.”

“What the hell do you want?”

“Ms. Philbert is a smart woman. Guess what I want?”

Belen Philbert took a deep breath, “Are you one of Agave Rinto’s men? Tell me, what do you want me to do to let Elise go?”

It was her negligence that the enemy had taken advantage of, using Elise to threaten her.

“What Agave Rinto?! I don’t know what you’re talking about. In ten minutes, you’ll receive an email on your computer. Just do as it says, and your niece will be safe.”
