Genius Girl

Chapter 258 - Genius 258: Daniella's request

Genius 258:

Inside of a freezing chamber below zero degrees, three men were n.a.k.e.d and embracing their shaking bodies. The room which supposed to be a storage for frozen food would be the place of their death.

In front of three men was Daniella wearing a furry coat, her eyes were as cold as the room. Lips pursed tightly while her hands clenched at her side and ready to throw a punch.

She blinked once and sighed, as she did tiny smoke came out of her parted lips.

She stared at the three men in front, those were the gangsters that posted as policemen to beat up Evan.

Clearing her throat she looked at Jared standing next to her. The man had his hands shoved in his pocket while a grin was on his lips ever since they entered the room.

For a moment, she wondered if he felt cold since he's only protection against the cold room was his suit.

Blinking her eyes, she looked up to meet Jared's eyes.

"So, do you want to kill them?" he asked with enthusiasm.

Daniella rose a brow and eventually shook her head.

"I don't kill people," she said in a low but firm voice.

Jared nodded and looked at the three men in front. Without a word, he raised a hand and pointed a finger at one of the three men

"Who gave orders to beat up Evan Su?" he asked grinning at them as if the fear on their faces amuses him.

The middle man gulped hard, "me" he said and walked a step forward, still hugging his shaking body.

Jared clicked his tongue in disappointment, "alright, my dear fiancé what do you want me to do with him?"

When he met Daniella's eyes, Jared could not help but be mesmerized by her emotionless face. She was like a cursed beautiful doll, damned to live in a cruel world.

"Kill them."

Two words, the way she said those words in a lifeless and casual tone has made Jared's body stiffened.

It took some time before Jared got himself back, and so he took the gun from his suitcase and pointed it at the first man.

"Knife."

Before Jared could pull the trigger, Daniella mumbled that word.

Baffled, he looked at her.

"You want me to use a knife?"

Daniella nodded, she raised a hand and gestured him what he needed to do.

Jared's face blanched for a moment. Clearly, Daniella was asking him to slit their throat with a knife.

He had killed people but never once he used a knife and slit a person's throat.

He gulped hard, "I don't have a knife," he said trying so hard not to stutter.

When Daniella took out a Swiss knife from her purse, Jared could not help but raise a brow.

"What else are you hiding in your purse?"

After Daniella handed it to him, he laughed nervously and waggled his brows to hide his anxiety.

"Happy fiancée happy life, right?" he discreetly bit his lower lips while approaching the men.

As he stood in front of them, Jared pushed the first man to the ground to kneel and without hesitation, he slit his throat.

Blood scattered on the floor like water rushing in the river, three bodies on the ground lifeless while Jared's body was stained with blood.

As he turned around, Jared realized that Daniella has been long gone. He might have not heard her leaving with all the scream earlier.

He dropped the knife and walked outside only to find Daniella handing him a towel.

His whole body stiffened to see her smiling at him, her dimples were so deep and beautiful while her eyes were the same colour as the leaves in summer. He gulped hard accepting the towel, deep inside he was wondering why she's smiling.

"I want Roman Lee."

Jared looked at her with narrowed eyes, his grin had disappeared. He knew she wanted something but was not expecting that it will be Roman Lee.

"What do you want me to do with him?"

"Slit his throat," she replied with a wide smile.

Jared was having a hard time getting himself back to reality, her smile and voice asking him to kill someone was too much for him. He could have said no instead, his head moved to nod, and the hesitation of marrying her started to creep him out.

He cleared his throat and slowly avoided her eyes. Then, he turned around gripping the towel in his hand.

Meanwhile, Daniella's lips formed a lopsided grin watching Jared's face paling. She ran to catch him and when she did, she wrapped a hand around his arm and they left the building at the same pace.

After getting a voicemail from Glen, Ken's face screwed up. Glen and Evan have been calling him nonstop to ask about McSalter. He was still in Su Villa with them and afraid that if they all stayed, soon Evan will find out.

With that in mind, Ken rushed upstairs. He went straight to Novie McSalter's room thinking that her parents would be there.

After pushing the door open one of his eyebrows arched, the room was empty.

His heart pounded, eyes widened as he looked around the room.

"Hey, Jared's sister! Where are you?" he yelled after closing the door.

One step after another, Ken approached the balcony. He pushed the glass door open and found Novie in the chair sleeping.

Quietly, Ken stood in front of her. She was sleeping so soundly like a baby. Her expression was so calm and innocent as if her life was not in danger. His sight dropped to her lap, seemed like she fell asleep reading.

He picked up the book and put it on the table. When he looked back at her, a long sigh left his lips. Absently, his body slid down to a squat, his hands laid on her lap while his eyes drowned staring at her face.

Unlike Daniella she has small eyes, her face was not as attractive as Daniella but it was enough to get a second look.

When a leaf landed on her hair, Ken stretched a hand to remove it but his hand froze midway when Novie suddenly opened her eyes.

Meanwhile, Novie was startled to see Ken in front of her. Her body reacted too quickly, she abruptly got up causing for Ken to fall on his back.

Her eyes widened after seeing it, without wasting time she held his arm and pulled him up.

"I am sorry Mr. Chu. I …" she stuttered as soon as she saw his brows snapping.

'This is it! This is what her boss Amy was talking about! Ken will burst out and snap her neck.'

Thinking that Novie touched her neck. Her face paled looking down to avoid his gaze.

"It is fine. It's my fault anyway."

Shock by the calmness of his voice, Novie looked up.

"Pack your stuff, we are leaving."

Ken turned to leave, his mind was in chaos after getting touched by her.

In the past, he would have dodged her hand and get up by himself but surprisingly he didn't do that and let her help him.

He sighed and left the room, he knew very well why he didn��t dodge her hand and it was because he imagined Daniella's face on Novie's earlier.
