Chapter 372
Calvin grabbed three large trash bags and disposed of them.
What he didn’t know was that before he opened the door, Carmen had already been standing outside his apartment, tightly gripping a small knife and two balls filled with poison.
She heard noises coming from inside the door, suggesting more than one person was in there.
She felt suspicious. Just as he came out to throw the trash away, she quickly ducked into the fire escape and hid herself.
Calvin entered the elevator with a cigarette in his mouth.
Carmen quietly emerged from the fire escape as the elevator numbers kept going down and peeked into the half–open door.
What she saw shocked her.
There was a bald, muscular, and imposing figure with a shiny head that looked like a lightbulb.
The key thing was that this bald man was holding a rifle.
Where was the rifle aimed?
She followed the scope’s direction and, to her horror, realized it was pointed directly at Felicia’s balcony!
Carmen’s cold sweat broke out instantly when she recalled Calvin’s earlier threats.
Who were these people? What did they want to do to Felicia?
She covered her mouth to stop herself from making a sound.
At that moment, the elevator behind her dinged and when she turned around to retreat into the fire escape, it was too late–Calvin was already walking out of the elevator.
Their eyes met. He initially smiled, thinking she had changed her heart and was ready to be
with him.
But when he saw her pale face, he quickly realized she had seen something she shouldn’t have.
A cold wave of fear washed over him. If Baldy found out, he would have no hesitation in killing both of them.
“Damn it! This bitch is going to get me killed!” he cursed inwardly.
Then, he yelled without hesitation, “Baldy, we’ve been exposed! She-”
Before he could finish, the door flung open.
Baldy stood there, his face dark with anger.
Everything happened so quickly and unexpectedly in just a few seconds.
Carmen immediately turned and ran. She bolted into the fire escape, charging down the stairs, her mind focused on one goal–getting a warning to Felicia!
Baldy didn’t chase her but instead turned to Calvin, threatening, “Catch her. If you don’t, you’re dead!”
Terrified, Calvin immediately chased after her.
Baldy returned to the room, stood before the rifle, and placed his finger on the trigger. The scope was aimed at the exit.
If Carmen ran out, she would be in his kill zone.
Meanwhile, Carmen, drenched in sweat, was running desperately. She had already lost track of the vegetables she bought as she focused only on running faster.
She had to warn Felicia!
With that thought fueling her, she ran faster than ever before.
Calvin, giving his all to catch up, shouted, “Stop! Stop right there!”
But she was too fast, leaping two or three steps at a time. She was almost at the last few steps when suddenly, she sprained her ankle!
“Ah!”
She gasped, feeling a bone snap, but she couldn’t stop. She limped toward the exit as quickly as she could.
He seized the opportunity and was getting closer.
Carmen realized that she might not make it out. Her phone flashed in her mind. She
immediately pulled it out of her pocket, but her hands shook so badly that she kept entering the wrong password.
