Where were you?”
“At…an abandoned landfill.”
“How could she be there? What was she doing there?”
The assistant hesitated to speak and finally said, “You should come and see for yourself.”
When Finn arrived at the junkyard, Rey had already ordered someone to find my remaining remains and cover them with a white cloth.
“Where is Lola?” Finn looked around anxiously.
Rey pointed at the white cloth on the ground and nervously said, “Mrs. Joyner… she was right here.”
Finn glanced at the white cloth and, after a moment, he suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Rey’s collar, shouting angrily, “What are you joking about? Lola is a real person, she can’t perform magic tricks, how dare you try to fool me with a piece of white cloth?”
Rey knelt down with a thud. “Mr. Joyner, Mrs. Joyner is dead, she was really eaten by the lion in the cage… Her remains are right under the white cloth.”
Finn’s figure swayed, but he still insisted stubbornly, “It’s impossible. I didn’t confiscate her phone at that time. If she encountered danger, wouldn’t she call for help?”
Ha, Finn’s words are really funny. Back then, it was useless to ask him face to face, so calling him would make a difference?
“It’s true!” Rey’s voice quivered as she spoke, “We found the animal trainer who was selling the wedding ring. He had the surveillance footage from that night, and the footage shows that Mrs. Joyner was indeed torn apart and devoured by the lion.”
After speaking, Rey handed a USB drive to Finn.
Finn’s face turned pale, and he stood still like a wooden stake, not taking the USB flash drive for a long time.
After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly snatched the USB flash drive and strode over to the bodyguard holding the laptop.
But his hands were shaking badly, and he failed to insert the USB flash drive into the laptop after several attempts.
Finally, the bodyguard supported his hand and helped him insert the USB flash drive.
Chapter 9
Soon, the surveillance footage popped up.
Finn subconsciously clenched his fist, not even realizing that his nails were digging into the palm of his hand, as the scene played out of the lion going mad and pouncing towards me. He abruptly closed his notebook and burst into tears, saying in a choked voice, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t mean to… I didn’t mean to.”
Watching Finn sobbing uncontrollably, I had become numb. What use is regret now?
“Mr. Joyner, maybe you shouldn’t look at it,” Rey wanted to take away the notebook.
Finn called him back again, saying, “Stop… continue, I want to keep watching.”
Rey was helpless and had to reopen the notebook.
This time, Finn did not back down. He widened his eyes and stared at the screen. Every time the version of me on the screen let out a scream, his face grew even paler. When he saw the moment the lion bit off my head, he suddenly let out a scream and fainted…
Since that day, Finn fell ill.
He had a high fever for several days.
He kept calling my name while he was unconscious.
“Lola, I’m sorry, I really never thought about wanting you dead.”
“You came back to retaliate against me, come back to find me, Lola, come back, come back…”
“Why didn’t you come into my dream today? Do you not want to see me anymore in the future?”
Sure enough, this person did something wrong, and just couldn’t sleep peacefully.
I wonder if the me in his dream was very ferocious.
