Xenia Zhao had come back from the hospital last night, but just when she laid down to sleep, she was woken up by a nightmare.
In her dream, Seneca’s face was pale and bloodless. He stared at her with gloomy eyes, asking why she had harmed him.
She cried and asked him to forgive her, for she had no choice but to harm him.
“I want you to come with me.” Seneca smiled creepily before rushing to her.
She wanted to run but she had been rooted to the ground, immobile.
She could only see him squeeze her throat with a sinister grimace. “Xenia Zhao, go to hell!”
Her breathing became increasingly difficult, and when she had thought that she was about to die, she woke up.
When she woke up, she realized that she was strangling herself. She immediately released her hand and sat upright.
The dream was too realistic and mysterious.
She caressed her neck gently in fear. She still felt as if she was being strangled.
Due to fear, she dared not sleep afterwards.
Killing Seneca had not been an impromptu decision. She had decided to do it when Rosiley expressed wishes to send Seneca overseas for treatment.
She had been hesitating until Uncle Zhao fell down the stairs.
since she had killed a man, she might as well kill another.
So, she made up her mind to get rid of Seneca.
The maid knocked on her door to inform her of Rosiley’s arrival.
She became flustered, for she knew that Rosiley had come because of Seneca.
However, she quickly calmed down. Even if Rosiley knew that she had killed Seneca, she would not have any evidence.
At the sound of her voice, Rosiley and Corey turned around and saw Xenia Zhao walking down the stairs in a purple nightgown.
Rosiley and Corey exchanged glances before walking over.
As they walked over, Rosiley saw Xenia Zhao’s tired expression and the dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not been sleeping well.
With her brows frowning, Rosiley smirked. “Xenia Zhao, did you have a nightmare? Didn’t dare to sleep?”
Xenia Zhao stopped in her tracks as she became more flustered, but she spoke loudly to hide the frustration and nervousness in her heart.
“Rosiley, what are you saying? Why would I have nightmares?”
“Do you not know what you did?” Rosiley glared at her coldly, with eyes that seemed to penetrate her heart.
Xenia Zhao turned around immediately and forced herself to walk across calmly and sit down on the sofa behind her.
She tilted her head to glance at the couple behind her and sniggered. “Rosiley, did you come here today to say such ridiculous words? If that’s the case, please go home.”
“Go home?” Rosiley sneered as she walked in front of her, staring at her from above with piercing eyes. “Xenia Zhao, this is my home. How dare you ask me to go home?”
“Because I am the owner of this family, and you…” Xenia Zhao crossed her arms around her chest. Leaning on the sofa, she looked up at her with mocking eyes. “A married daughter is like water that has splashed out. This is no longer a place where you can come and go as you please.”
As if she had just heard a great joke, Rosiley burst out laughing, with mockery written on her face. “How dare you be so shameless to occupy my house like it’s yours?!”
