Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 428:

And yet, Rachel’s body was nowhere to be found. Where in the world could she be?

Tracy grabbed the arm of the nearest security guard and demanded, “Where is she? The woman who just fell into the pool?”

Thinking she meant Natalia, the guard promptly pointed over to her.

“Not her, the other woman!”

But the guard merely scratched the back of his head. “I don’t know. The surveillance footage is still being checked.”noveldrama

“Useless! Tell your men to hurry it up!”

No sooner had Tracy finished speaking than she sensed a presence beside her. A figure with pale skin and disheveled hair had appeared, seemingly from out of nowhere.

“What woman?” came a chilling voice. “You’d better explain yourself.”

Tracy shuddered, her arms now covered with goosebumps.

Natalia seized the opportunity and continued, “You vicious woman. You wanted to kill me, didn’t you? You owe me your life! I want a life for a life!”

Tracy stumbled back, shaking her head in frantic terror.

“NO, don’t! I didn’t mean it. You’ve got the wrong person! I’m begging you, spare me!”

Tracy wasn’t in the right state of mind to evaluate her situation. She acted out of the fear that overtook her, giving in to her first instinct—pleas for mercy and the urge to escape.

That was, until Natalia’s face was accidentally revealed through the gap of her long, messy hair.

“Natalia?” Tracy blurted out in disbelief. “It’s you? You almost scared me to death! You might be privileged, but there’s a limit to the things you can do to others!”

Natalia straightened, placing her hands on her hips, sneering. “Speak for yourself! Shouldn’t you be held accountable for murder?”

“What? What are you even saying? I’m the one who had a knife to my neck. I’m the one who was threatened! Think before you speak, would you?”

“Stubborn to the very end, I see. Just wait until I call Rachel.”

Natalia suddenly stopped short.

The mention of Rachel’s name made her realize, too late, that something was wrong.

Oddly enough, she hadn’t seen Rachel anywhere after she opened her eyes. Given how worried Rachel had been about her earlier, Rachel should have been by her side.

Then, Natalia’s gaze shifted toward the silhouette of Brian’s figure underwater, and she recalled Tracy’s words from a while ago.

Understanding hit her like a freight train.

Natalia lunged and grabbed Tracy by the collar. “So the other woman in the pool you were talking about was Rachel?” she demanded through gritted teeth.

Tracy said nothing, but her expression spoke volumes.

Furious, Natalia shoved Tracy, causing her to slip across the wet ground.

Not far behind her were a few steps—just five or so.

But tumbling down those steps was enough to injure Tracy.
