Chapter 194 – Getting in her way
Sherry looked out the window, she had been to Monterey, although only for a few days, but the local people of this dead leaf forest more than the legend of countless.
She has even heard a dozen different versions.
But there are similarities and differences, that is, the place is haunted, but also haunted particularly fierce.
This is the reason why she chose to meet with Nola here, what Monica experienced at the beginning, now she Nola will experience once.
“I’m not sure.”
Sherry whispered back, then pressed her hat down.
The driver went ahead and drove for a while, gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t drive inside, you get off close.”
Sherry didn’t make a sound, just handed over another two hundred dollars.
“This, this is not about money!”
“Master, people’s lives are at stake, help.”
A word, the driver master back down a little cold sweat, but also dare not look back at Sherry, can only accelerate the gas pedal, see Nola’s car stopped, he immediately slammed on the brakes.
“Get out of the car, you don’t have to pay for the car!”
“Thanks, then.”
He looked like a living ghost, reversed the car, and the car soon disappeared into the night.
Sherry stood in place and looked at the dead grass at her feet again. She had previously felt that the name Dead Leaf Forest was a bit sad, but now she carefully tasted it, and it was quite suitable for burying people.
In the fall, when the dead grass is covered, nothing can be seen.
A chill rose from her eyes as she looked at the car in the distance, snickered and slowly walked forward.
Without approaching Nola, she walked to a large tree and slowly crouched down, observing Nola’s appearance while she dimmed her phone screen and sent her the next message.
“Nola, please do as I say, and if there is any deviation, you the Garcia family will be waiting to pay another billion.”
Nola looked at the phone screen and shouted in anger, “Who the hell are you and what do you want!”
Boom.
Something fell from the tree.
Sherry sent her another female ghost audio downloaded from the Internet, the sound is not much scary, but in the darkness of the night, with the surrounding forest of dead trees, it is really eerie.
Nola just clicked on that voice and screamed and threw her phone away.
She cried out in place for a long time, exactly what, Sherry did not hear, only her terrified screams in this night-filled forest, seems more appalling.
When Nola had cried enough, she picked up her phone again, looked at the words on the screen, and slowly stood up.
It was a string of virtual numbers that Sherry had given her.
If you call, you might be able to contact the charity and get that huge donation back.
But at the end, Sherry was kind enough to add, “In the event of failure, the consequences are your own.”
Nola gritted her teeth and thought about it for ten minutes, but dialed the number, she had to turn it over.
To trample underfoot all those who look down on her.
The person who answered the phone there spoke the local language, Nola did not understand, and could only communicate with each other in English, after some negotiation, the other party said several sentences, Nola did not understand the specific meaning, but it seems that the money can be returned.
“Within three days, we will send someone there.”
That was all the other person said, and the conversation ended.
Nola clutched her phone and took a deep breath, “Good, then.”
Three more days, and she wouldn’t have to suffer so much.
She looked around and sent another message to the anonymous number, “Who the hell are you and what do you want?”
“I’m just a Sherry-hater like you.”
A simple sentence, but the face of Nola looking at the phone screen became very hideous, “Then why don’t we join forces and make that bitch disappear from this world forever.”
Sherry hid behind a tree, watched Nola get into her car, and returned the favor.
“You want her to die?”
Nola was so tortured by the 500 million that she lost her mind and even believed the person behind the number.
“Yes, she’ll get in my way if she lives.”
If it was a few months ago, then she was referring to Aaron.
But now that Sherry has completely run away from Aaron, this reason no longer holds true.
Sherry has been thinking about this, walking alone out of the dead leaf forest, with the occasional chilly wind sweeping behind her, and Nola’s car no longer in sight.
Sherry is not afraid, but after experiencing the evil calculations in this world, only then will understand that ghosts are sometimes not as scary as people.
What did she get in Nola’s way?
Sherry called the private investigator before the other person fell asleep.
“Would you please check what time it is, I’m meant to be resting too, okay? Overtime is charged separately!”
“I want to know if Nola did anything out of the ordinary before going to Seattle, or, if she met anyone in particular.”
There, there was a moment of silence.
“Yes, I’ll send it to you.”
This private detective is very efficient, Sherry hung up the phone, only a few steps away, received a few photos.
She zoomed in and stopped in her tracks.
Shirly!
Nola had met Shirly before, a few days before she returned to Collin County.
Thinking about what Miller had asked her to investigate, Sherry felt she was about to touch on a secret that had been hidden for years.
After she returned to the Monterey Hotel, she had a hard time sleeping through the night, envisioning several possibilities, all of which she dismissed on her own.
Nola is just too greedy and impulsive, but she is not a brainless person.
Like a rabid dog, she must be killed. There must be a reason behind this that is enough to make her gamble everything, what could it be?
Over the next two days, Sherry threw herself into her work, carefully preparing for the signing and launch in accordance with the company’s requirements.
The CEO she was negotiating with was indeed difficult and tried to eat Sherry’s tofu in every way possible, but she managed to defuse them all.
After getting the other party’s reluctant signature on the contract, Sherry had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw the department manager of their company reprimanding a janitor from afar.
Sherry was about to walk right past, but saw the reflection on the glass and stopped.
It was such a coincidence that the reprimanded cleaner was actually Shirly!
Only she looked in very poor condition and her feet were limping.
“Manager, there is no need to scold so hard, this sister has where not done, redo is, do people have dignity.” Sherry walked over and helped out with a few words.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Shirly’s pupils widened as soon as she heard her voice.
Manager doesn’t give her face, but not Ryan’s.
So he waved his hand, “Pay more attention in the future.”
When he left, Sherry pulled Shirly, who wanted to escape, “The Garcia family gave you enough money to feed and clothe you for the rest of your life, why are you working here? And also …”
“I beg you, don’t come back to me, I really don’t know anything!”
Shirly cried out and was close to kneeling down for Sherry.
Sherry looked around and squeezed her shoulder, “Calm down, let me ask you, did she come to you?”
She took out Nola’s picture.
