Chapter 551
The young man trembled with rage as he stormed toward Felicia with his fist raised.
Felicia was already exhausted. She looked pale, and her body was drenched in sweat. She made no effort to dodge or retaliate.
The young man’s hand hovered in the air but never struck. Instead, he shaved Felicia forcefully and yelled, “My girlfriend tried to help you, and you strangled her! Where’s your heart?”
“I’m sorry.” Felicia closed her eyes. At that moment, she felt as though she was more like a puppet than a human
“I’m sorry.” She turned to Jenifer, who was on the ground, and struggled in move in and check her injur
Jenniter flinched and backed away, clearly still shaken. The young man immediately stepped in front of her and blocked Felicia. “We don’t need your fake

Since Jenniter was unharmed, the doctor left. There was still much to be done elsewhere.
The young man helped Jennifer up from the ground. “Jennifer, are you okay? Does anything hurt?”
Jennifer shook her head, but her gaze remained fixed on Felicia
Anyone who tried to help only to be betrayed and nearly killed would feel a whirlwind of anger and confusion. Jennifer was no different and was caught between rage and frustration.
But she also remembered the struggle and anguish in Felicia’s eyes when she was almost strangled to death. Felicia even bit her own tongue until she bled to stop herself.
Jennifer said to her boyfriend, “I don’t think she meant to hurt me…”
“What? She strangled you! And you’re saying that’s not intentional?” The young man was furious and wanted to shake some sense into her. “Jennifer, stop being so naïve. Don’t just go around helping people. Always protect yourself first!
“Let’s go!” He guided Jennifer away while still shielding her protectively. Before leaving, he shot one last glare at Felicia.
Once their footsteps faded, Felicia was left alone in the dimly lit parking lot.
She sat on the ground and leaned against a flowerbed. Her hands were still trembling. She had almost strangled an innocent bystander.
It had been so close.
Whenever that bell rang, she would lose consciousness and sleepwalk. But now, her awareness lingered while her body acted against her will.
Felicia couldn’t help but wonder what would happen next time.
If she completely lost consciousness, would she wake up to find her hands sealed in blood? Would she discover she had killed someone? What about the people around her? Would they be in danger?
No, she had to figure something out.
Felicia took out her phone, only to realize it had run out of power. She retraced her steps to the convenience store and borrowed a charger.
A few minutes later, her phone powered back on. She scrolled through her contact list and called a number.
The call connected quickly, and a woman teased, “No wonder my eyes have been twitching all day. It turns out my golden goose is calling. Do you have a job for me? I’m always available.”
Even over the line, Felicia could imagine Scarlet throwing a flirtatious wink as she spoke.
Scarlet was a mercenary,
A few months ago, at her apartment complex, Carmen took a sniper’s bullet meant for Felicia Though the sniper escaped, Felicia had issued a five–billion -dollar bounty on the sniper’s head to avenge Carmen.
Nine mercenaries completed the task, and Scarlet was one of them.
Felicia never expected she would need to reach out to Scarlet again so soon.
