CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: THE STRONG SCENT OF BLOOD

Chloe Simpson noticed Alexander Johnson remained silent, and the feeling in her heart grew stronger.

Like a woman’s sixth sense, in that instant, she felt very familiar with Alexander Johnson.

She vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something very important.

This feeling was exactly the same as after that high fever illness many years ago.

As soon as she woke up, she felt like she had something important to do.

But she searched through her backpack and her room.

She looked everywhere in her school, at home, and even with her friends, but found nothing.

Even for the whole month afterward, she kept looking but still found nothing.

Later, as time passed, she gradually let it go.

But tonight, facing Alexander Johnson in front of her, that long-lost feeling swept over her again.

Chloe Simpson stared at Alexander without blinking, afraid she might miss any expression of his.

Alexander looked at Chloe inquisitively, and all those warm images from years ago surfaced in his mind at this moment.

"..."

Yet he never uttered a single word from beginning to end.

Seeing his continual silence, Chloe said, "Alexander Johnson?"

Just then, Alexander’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Jack Woods.

"Young Mister Johnson, Lucas Hughes is almost half dead, yet he firmly insists that he was incompetent and afraid of being found out by Miss Simpson, which is why he orchestrated tonight’s episode."

"It seems true; we can’t keep beating him, or it’ll be fatal."

Alexander clenched his fists and then released them, "Let him go."

"Alexander, you haven’t answered my question just now."

As soon as he hung up, Chloe asked again.

Alexander put down his phone, curled his lips coldly, "Chloe, I’ve seen many seductive tricks, and yours is the most lowly. With your status and mine, how could we possibly know each other?"

"If you want to continue serving me, then come over; if not, just get out!"

After speaking, he pointed to the door, commanding authoritatively.

At that second, he only felt that his earlier self was ridiculous.

Alexander, don’t forget, this woman is already married!

"..."

Chloe glanced at Alexander, chuckled bitterly, and ran out of the room.

Even after leaving Nightfall, she continued to sprint all the way.

Chloe, have you lost your mind?

Why would you feel like you know Alexander Johnson?

Who are you, and who is Alexander?

The Young Master of the Capital Circle, so noble, and you’re trying to reach above your status?

What’s wrong with you?

Could it be that you’ve truly fallen in love with this man?

No, you’ve been with Lucas Hughes for five years, and you finally got married, and he treats you so well.

How can you fall for another man just from one night of your wedding?

Wake up!

Chloe kept running, continually jolting herself awake in her mind.

Until she was exhausted, unable to run a step further, she finally stopped, panting heavily.

It was then that she thought of Lucas Hughes. She picked up her phone to call Lucas.

But as it connected, it just rang and rang with no answer.

After several attempts, the phone still echoed with the mechanical sound of no answer.

Immediately, she hailed a taxi, taking it home.

Yet she never expected that upon returning home, inputting her password, and opening the door, she’d be hit with a strong smell of blood.

"Lucas!"

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned on the light.
