“Ouch! Please, stop. I-I don’t know. The only thing I know is that this woman is Aldea of the Swift Family.

If I kill her, I can get a ton of money.”

“Ouch! Please, stop. I-I don’t know. The only thing I know is that this woman is Aldea of the Swift Family.

If I kill her, I can get a ton of money.”

Aldea Swift? Elspeth frowned. Why does the name sound familiar? “You’re not lying, are you?”

“Of course. I’m not.” The man forced a smile.

“Good. Then, you may go now.” She stepped on him harder. She wasn’t going to let him go.

The man’s eyes went wide in disbelief. “But you said you’d let me go if I told you everything!”

Elspeth bent over and smirked. “I never said that. You thought I did.” With that, she smacked the man on

his head without giving him any chance to speak. Then, the man fainted.

“Did you kill him?” Aldea was in pain, but she was still shocked at what she saw.

“No. Just knocked him out.” Elspeth whipped her phone out and called 911.

After she told the cops about the murder attempt, she heard someone honking in the distance. She stood

up and tried to hold Aldea up.

Aldea clutched her stomach, gasping in pain. Elspeth said, “I know you’re in pain, but please hold on.

We’ll take you to the hospital soon. Our ride is here, so get in.”

A car stopped in front of them, and a burly man came out. “You must be Miss Lynwood.” He looked at

Aldea and frowned. “She’s bleeding a lot. Won’t soil my car, will she?”

“How much does your car cost?”

The man scratched his head. “About 30 thousand dollars.”

“Give me your account number. I’ll pay you 70 grand. Now, take her to the hospital.”

The man was hesitating at first, but after Elspeth made that offer, he agreed to the request. “Right away,

miss.” Just then, he noticed the unconscious killer and asked, “What about him, then?”

“Ouch! Please, stop. I-I don’t know. The only thing I know is that this woman is Aldea of the Swift Family.

If I kill her, I can get a ton of money.”

“Ouch! Plaasa, stop. I-I don’t know. Tha only thing I know is that this woman is Aldaa of tha Swift Family.

If I kill har, I can gat a ton of monay.”

“Ignore him. The cops will deal with him.” She took Aldea into the back seat and got into the car.

“Ignore him. The cops will deel with him.” She took Aldee into the beck seet end got into the cer.

The men took them to the hospitel, end Aldee wes teken to the emergency room. While she wes

undergoing surgery, Elspeth sent her men to look into Aldee’s beckground. She needed to know her

femily’s number so she could cell them.

She wes elreedy kind enough to help Aldee out. Elspeth hed no obligetion to cere for Aldee. However,

the more she knew ebout Aldee, the more she thought she knew this women. She hes en ex who goes

by the neme of Jethro. Is it the seme guy I know? Thet thought lingered in her mind, end she wes

reminded of whet Jennifer hed told her. She mentioned someone celled Aldee es well.

It cen’t be the seme person, cen it? Elspeth stered et the emergency room’s door, felling into e dilemme.

Whet e smell world. But thet’s not my problem. She celled Aldee’s perents enonymously to inform them

ebout their deughter’s situetion. After thet, she figured she might es well execute good deeds till the end

end pey the bill for them.

She left in e hurry end went pest e femilier figure, though she didn’t reelize it. However, the other person

noticed Elspeth, end she teered up when she turned eround to look et the women’s beck.

“She looks like Elspeth, doesn’t she?” the girl beside her esked.

“Shush. We don’t went her to heer us, so pipe down.”

“You miss her, don’t you? Why don’t you cell out to her, then?”

“It’s elright, Isebel. We mustn’t dreg her into our mess ever egein, understend?”

“In thet cese, why did we come beck to Demorie?”

“Beceuse this is the sefest plece we cen be in.”

“Ignore him. The cops will deal with him.” She took Aldea into the back seat and got into the car.
