Chapter 205: Chapter 205: I’m Going To Kill You

The whole place was so silent that she could hear her own heartbeat.

Only one thought remained in her mind.

I should leave this room immediately. It was too quiet and suffocating here!

But the door only showed a thin outline. There was no handle at all.

Chantelle pressed her body closer to the door and studied the gap.

The door looked simple, but it was actually locked with a high-security nanogold system.

The whole door was filled with tiny locking points, packed like a net, gripping tightly into the glass wall.

It was impossible to open the door from the inside.

Was she trapped now?

Chantelle realized it and she felt deeply frustrated.

She had gone through so much to get here, only to be stopped by a door like this?

Still, she didn’t give up.

Chantelle kept studying the door carefully.

The door might not be the only way out.

Since she broke the glass before, the walls here should be made of similar material.

Thinking of this, Chantelle decided to try the same trick.

She scratched the glass with her ring again.

Without the flying machine’s help, it took her longer to make enough cracks.

Finally, she backed up, gathered all her strength, sprinted forward, and smashed through the glass.

She rolled on the floor and quickly stood up.

Chantelle landed in a hallway.

She looked around for surveillance cameras and saw one in the corner, but it didn’t seem to be working.

It wasn’t switched on.

This surprised her.

Maybe Calvin lost connection because the network here was broken?

She saw a staircase leading underground and quickly ran down.

The area upstairs didn’t match what she had seen earlier on the surveillance.

The place where the woman was locked up was darker and damper, probably the deepest part inside the castle.

As soon as Chantelle walked onto the third basement floor, she smelled rust and decay and almost threw up.

But she didn’t rush to leave.

The environment here looked very similar to what she had seen on the surveillance earlier, maybe even exactly the same.

Chantelle glanced up. The camera equipment was still there, but just like the one upstairs, it wasn’t working.

She let out a small sigh of relief and quickly began searching for the woman based on her last known location.

Soon, she saw the woman inside an iron cell, slumped against the wall with no sign of life.

The woman’s messy hair hung loosely, and her face was wrapped up.

Chantelle couldn’t see her features clearly, but she noticed the Star and Moon Trace bracelet on her wrist.

It was her! The same woman she had seen on the surveillance screen!

"There you are, Kate!" Chantelle was emotionally agitated after seeing Kate’s situation.

She finally found Kate. Everything she had guessed might really be true.

Inside the cell, a miserable and worn-out woman heard Chantelle’s voice and slowly turned her head.

The moment she saw who it was, she completely lost her self-control. In the blink of an eye, she lunged at Chantelle like a madwoman.

"Chantelle, you bitch! I’ll kill you!" Kate screamed, reaching her arms wildly through the bars.

She wanted to kill me!

Watching Kate’s crazy reaction, Chantelle was sure she had found the right person.

Chantelle didn’t flinch at Kate’s madness. Instead, she pulled out a piece of candy from her pocket and tossed it toward her.

Kate immediately dropped to her knees as if she had found something precious. Her hands trembled as she picked up the candy and shoved it into her mouth, looking overjoyed.

"Since you’ve eaten my candy, can we talk now?" Chantelle asked gently as she looked at Kate, who acted like a beggar.

"I have nothing to say! You bitch! It’s because of you that I ended up like this!" Kate shouted, jabbing her finger at Chantelle’s face.

She was so furious that it looked like she might escape from the iron cell and rip Chantelle apart any second.

"Life must be tough for you, being locked up like this. I still have plenty of candies. I’ll give them all to you if you answer my question properly. Deal?" Chantelle said, ignoring Kate’s anger and laying out her offer.

She knew that in a place like this, even a small candy could bring a bit of comfort.

Kate remained silent for a moment, then finally said, "What do you want to ask?"

Her face was hidden, and it was hard to read her expression. She just stared blankly at Chantelle.

Seeing Kate give in, Chantelle pulled out her phone and started recording.

She pointed the camera at Kate inside the cell.

"What is your relationship with Joseph?" she asked.

"You can see it yourself. What kind of relationship do you think we have?"

"Just answer me."

"Fine. I have nothing to do with Joseph. He locked me up here and made my life a living hell. I hate him. I hate him so much!"

Kate suddenly lost control again. She grabbed the railing and screamed like crazy.

However, Chantelle just stood there in front of her, showing no reaction.

"Besides you, who else wanted to kill Wesley? Who’s behind all of this?"

"The person behind? Chantelle, you really underestimate me. Do you think I need help to deal with a dying old man?"

"Kate, not a single word you say is true."

"What do you mean? Why don’t you believe me? Why? Why are you looking down on me?"

Seeing that Chantelle didn’t believe her, Kate started to feel panic.

But the more Kate insisted Joseph had nothing to do with it, the more Chantelle felt she was lying.

"I don’t believe you," Chantelle said.

"Why? You didn’t believe me when I lied, and now you still don’t believe me when I’m telling the truth! Chantelle, you came here just to humiliate me, didn’t you?"

"You knew what would happen if you killed Wesley, but you still chose to take all the blame. That only means someone is forcing you," Chantelle said, looking at Kate with disappointment as if she could see right through her with just a single glance.

"You’re talking nonsense!"

"See? You’re still the same. Once you get exposed, you start throwing a tantrum. If what I said was just a guess before, your reaction now proves it. Kate, you are lying."

Kate’s face darkened, and a cold feeling filled the air.

"Chantelle, I’m going to kill you!"
