Chapter 297: Confrontation
The man jolted from the scream and was about to ask what happened when he noticed her frozen reaction while looking behind him. He frowns and subconsciously follows her gaze, only to gasp loudly as they quickly push each other instinctively when they finally recognize who’s in front of them. As for why the two can see them, No. 444 opens their eyes for more convenience as they stay on the side silently.
"C-Cousin!" The woman tremblingly called while her face turned pale.
What to do?! What should I do?! The family must not know this! Or did she tell them already that’s why she’s here?!
Many thoughts started running in her mind that she totally ignored the strangeness of her cousin. Meanwhile, the man was also shocked at her presence but he quickly noticed something odd.
He noticed the blood on her mouth and the unusual paleness on her skin. She doesn’t clearly look like a normal person at all! But either way, what terrifies him the most was that their affair was now exposed. He couldn’t let her tell everyone or else his reputation will be ruined!
He grabbed his pants on the side and was about to clothe himself when the cousin who came back to her senses finally processed something and screamed in horror.
She clearly remembers making that poisoned cake herself and delivered it to her cousin. Knowing her, she would definitely eat it! She would fall into that trap! If that happens, then why is she in front of her?!
That poison is deadly! She noticed the blood on her mouth so it was obvious that she succeeded. But why is she here?! Her eyes observed the strangeness and only when her eyes happened to look down and saw her floating that she shrieked loudly.
"Ghost!" She shouted in fear and grabbed a pillow to cover herself. She tremblingly raises her body and steps backwards.
The man also realized that quickly went away.
"Disgusting! Disgusting! You must pay for what you did!" The ghost shouted.
"N-No! No, please!" The woman began pleading with mercy as she kept on backing away.
"No?!" The ghost’s eyes turn completely red. "Why didn’t you think this when you had an affair with him?! Why didn’t you think when you poisoned me to death?!" Her shouts were mixed with hatred and pain from the betrayal of the people she loved the most.
"When your family was in a dire condition, it was me who asked Dad to save your family! When you begged to stay with me, I let you stay in my house and enjoyed the privilege! Everything that I got, I make sure to include you! Money, status, luxury — all of it!" She scoffed and laughed bitterly. "And you think it was not enough?! Now you wanted not just the man I loved but also my life?! How dare you?!" She pointed at her cousin. "How dare you?!"
"I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me, Cousin! I was wrong!" The latter was obviously terrified of her and kept on begging for forgiveness and mercy. But what’s the use of it when she’s already dead? Since she was ruthless enough to murder her, then she must also die!
She didn’t listen to that please and slowly strode towards the woman. Her cousin keeps on stepping backward until her waist bumps the railings of the balcony. She was still fully naked and her body was exposed to bright sunlight outside. The warmth from the sun and the air surrounds her but she couldn’t care less about her situation. When she could no longer back away, she became more afraid.
"Cousin, please! I will pay for what I did! Just please don’t do this to me! I will leave him! I will stay away! Please have mercy on me!" She begged with large tears falling from her eyes.
"No! I died so you must pay this way too!" The ghost shouted and suddenly rushed forward. Actually, she really couldn’t do anything because she could not touch her but the latter obviously didn’t think so out of fear.
Her body subconsciously leans against the background upon seeing her ghostly face coming. She didn’t notice that her body was out from the railings and she was about to beg further when she couldn’t control her body to lean back. She continued to slide down and she could only watch herself falling down from this tall building.
Her scream was the last thing heard before everything turned into silence.
"No!" Meanwhile, the man on the side was just watching away in fear but in the next second, he saw how that body fell down. He subconsciously ran forward intending to save but it was already too late.
He could only watch her body fall down and soon, her body was like broken glass, with her bones cracked and a large amount of blood flowing. And since it’s still daylight, the people below screamed in horror from the unexpected grueling sight.
The man’s face turned pale and he turned around to face the ghost.
"You killed her! You killed her!" He actually didn’t know that his lover poisoned his real girlfriend so he was really terrified right now.
"You killed her!" He yelled again.
But there was no guilt in her eyes as she looked at him with mockery. "So what? She killed me first!"
"I can’t believe you are like this!"
She scoffed. "Me too. I can’t believe I’m raising a snake!" Raising is indeed the right term for this because she’s been supporting him financially. She thought he’ll be grateful or even if not, at least just felt not doing anything because of what she did. Who would have thought that he’s greedy and a bastard?
Remembering her efforts for him only made her anger intensify. She didn’t notice the dark energy around her is getting eerie and darker. Because she is now carrying a sin on her hands, the resentment became more aggressive on consuming her.
"Since you’re very concerned about her, why don’t you just join her?! You can die too and rot in hell with her!" She moved her body and raised her arms.
The man knew that she’s intending to push him but he didn’t move. He saw it earlier that she couldn’t even touch her cousin so she probably couldn’t push him too.
He was confident yet in the next second, he felt a force pushing him and before he could even process everything, his whole body leaned down fast and he also fell down uncontrollably.
The last thing that he saw before his death was the eyes that were full of hatred and despair.
