Chapter 749: Chapter 746: I Want You to Die

With Cedric Grant right there, Clara didn’t want to say much more, so she hedged, "Okay, okay, I know you’re right. I’ll explain everything when I get back. I’m hanging up now."

With that, she hung up.

Seth Quinn stared at his phone for a moment after the call ended. After some thought, he stood up, grabbed his jacket and car keys, and strode out of his office.

...

When Chloe Grant’s red sports car pulled up in front of the rather run-down apartment building, it immediately drew the eyes of every passerby.

A car that expensive was a rare sight in a neighborhood like this.

Chloe Grant got out of the car, and a few thuggish-looking young men even wolf-whistled at her.

Chloe Grant paid them no mind. She just glanced up at one of the floors, subconsciously clutched the bag in her hands a little tighter, and then stepped into the building’s entryway.

On the sixth floor, the top floor of the building, Chloe Grant stood before the door to apartment 602 and raised her hand to knock.

"Who is it?" a voice answered from inside. A moment later, the door swung open, and Adam Warren’s face appeared before Chloe Grant.

Adam Warren was clearly startled to see Chloe Grant, but his face quickly contorted into a suggestive grin. "Well, well, if it isn’t Jean’s gorgeous daughter, Chloe. How’d you find your way here?"

’He never thought the little beauty he’d been dreaming of day and night would actually come knocking on his door. Looks like his luck with the ladies was about to turn!’

Adam Warren had clearly been drinking; the reek of alcohol washed over her as soon as he spoke. Chloe Grant instinctively wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Still, she reined in her emotions and said, "I need to talk to you."

Adam Warren snickered, a lecherous and vile look on his face, as he stepped aside to let her in. "Well, hurry up, come on in. What can I get you to drink?"

With that, he turned and walked deeper into the apartment.

Chloe Grant glanced warily over her shoulder, her hand once again instinctively squeezing the object inside her purse. Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside and shut the door behind her.

Seeing Adam Warren with his back to her, bent over and rummaging through the refrigerator, she quickly opened her purse. She pulled out the hidden dagger, gripped it tightly in both hands, and began to walk toward him in complete silence.

"Ah, looks like all I have is beer and cola. Chloe, you’ll have to make do with a Co—" Holding a bottle of cola, Adam Warren turned around and froze. He was staring at Chloe Grant, who was pointing a dagger right at him. He jumped in fright. "Chloe, what... what are you doing?"

"Don’t move!" Chloe Grant snapped, her expression turning vicious. ℯℯ𝑙.

’Even though this was the first time she had ever pointed a knife at anyone, she felt no fear at all. Right now, all she wanted was for this man to die—the man who had ruined her and her mother’s plan, the man who had made them fail so completely!’

"What am I doing? What do you think I’m doing? Didn’t my mother tell you to leave Novaria? Why didn’t you? Why did you show up at the Quinn Family’s home? Why did you betray my mother? Why? WHY?"

Chloe Grant was becoming visibly agitated. "If it weren’t for you, Clara Grant would be groveling at my feet by now! If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have kicked my mother out of the house! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be the laughingstock of all of Novaria!"

As she spoke, her eyes turned bloodshot. Her hands, still gripping the dagger, pushed forward slightly. "Adam Warren," she said through gritted teeth, "I’m going to kill you!"

In that instant, she broke into a run, closing the distance to Adam Warren in a few short steps. She thrust the dagger in her hand straight for his heart.
