Chapter 3: After Lathel’s death (2)
“Huh?!” The mysterious person thought she had misheard so she asked again: “What do you mean?”
Arine looked into the distance, sighed and said: “I love him. I love Lathel, but he never accepted my feelings, instead he loved Selvia.”
“I don’t understand. In the end, why did Selvia win his heart?”
“Selvia is just a greedy bitch. In her eyes there is only money and business, she doesn’t love Lathel at all.”
“However, she imprisoned Lathel’s heart like a bird in a cage. I’m so angry, I hate that bitch.”
“That’s why… hahaha… I coordinated with that stupid CEO to create a fake photo.”
“So… Lathel can give up on Selvia. While he is in despair, I will open my arms to embrace him.”
“At that time, he will feel my love, and he will know who truly loves him.”
“Ah… just thinking about it makes me feel happy.”
The mysterious person was silent, and after a while, she spoke up: “But… on the internet, everyone says that you are dating another actor, right?”
“Hahaha… that’s right.” Arine smiled disdainfully: “But… that bastard is just a shield for me to protect Lathel.”
“Actor? Hahaha… he’s not even as good as a strand of Lathel’s hair, why should I love him?”
“I’m afraid that if my stupid fans know about Lathel, they’ll harm him. That’s why I want to use that idiot as a shield. That way, Lathel will be safe.”
The mysterious person frowned, she then intensely stared at Arine as if to check if she was lying.
After a while, that mysterious person sighed, she took out a phone, then turned the screen towards Arine: “You should see this.”
Arine was startled when she saw the information on the mysterious person’s phone screen. .
Above was an article with the title: “Discovered the body of a murdered young man on XXX bridge”
“A young man named Lathel was stabbed to death by a stranger. A suspect was arrested at 9 a.m. on September 20. Currently, the police are investigating and clarifying the suspect’s motive for the murder.”
Above the article there was also a photo of Lathel and a photo of the suspect arrested by the police.
Arine was startled when she saw the images in front of her, and her body trembled violently.
“No… you… you are lying… it’s all fake… Lathel can’t die… I…”
The mysterious person saw Arine’s emotions change again, however, this time her emotions were completely genuine.
“You can call the stupid CEO you work with to confirm this information. However, the person you hired to threaten Lathel has been captured.”
“Maybe… the police will quickly find you and that stupid CEO.”
“At that time, your career, and your popularity will amount to nothing.”
The mysterious person said as she picked up Arine’s knife, then threw it in front of her.
“However, perhaps… your most terrible punishment is Lathel’s death, right?”
Arine looked at the knife in front of her and immediately realized what that mysterious person wanted. She raised her head and saw that the person had left, leaving Arine alone in this room.
…
Arine trembled, she tried to stand up, she searched for her phone, then called a phone number in the phone book named “CEO Syka”.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
“Arine?” The deep and warm voice of a man answered the phone.
Perhaps, any woman who heard this voice would definitely imagine it coming from a very handsome and masculine man that was at least 185cm, and was wearing a suit.
“I watched the news…” Arine said this with a certain calmness and iciness that was unlike her.
“So… what? Arine, you should understand that the person who threatened Lathel was hired by you, I have nothing to do with it.”
“I understand…”
“So… why did you call me? Even if the police investigate, they will realize that I am just a victim. The only person who needs to be scared right now is you .”
“Is Lathel really dead?”
Syka suddenly fell silent, after a while, he spoke: “That’s right. But according to the testimony of the person you hired to threaten him…”
“What do you mean…”
Syka sighed: “At that time… Lathel committed suicide with the knife of the person who threatened him. However, the police do not believe that.”
“Arine, I advise you to confess. Although it will take the police some time to find you, Lathel’s mother is different, she is an extremely powerful person.”
“Lathel’s mother is the mayor of this city, if she knew you were the one behind Lathel’s death…”
“Believe me, at that moment you will wish to be thrown into jail by the police instead of falling into that woman’s hands.”
Arine was silent, she didn’t answer but just gently turned off the phone.
“AAA!!!” Arine suddenly screamed, her scream containing extreme despair and pain.
She grabbed her hair with both hands, and pulled out a lot of it with force. Her hair was pulled out violently, causing damage to her scalp which started to bleed.
On her platinum hair, the bright red color of blood was even more prominent, making Arine look more like a crazy person.
After a while, Arine was silent.
Her eyes were wet, and tears flowed like a stream. However, she smiled, this was a smile that came from her heart, it was full of sincerity and liberation.
“Lathel, you said you enjoyed listening to me sing, right?”
“Maybe… you will be very lonely, right?”
“Lathel, Selvia doesn’t need you, but I need you. You won’t be alone…”
“If I can’t have you when you’re alive, then… at least when I die, I want to be by your side…”
Arine picked the knife on the ground, and without hesitation, she decisively stabbed herself in the throat.
She then forcefully made a long incision on her neck. Her face paled as blood continuously gushed out of the injury like a stream.
Arine fell on the ground, she slowly closed her eyes, and happily welcomed death. A very happy smile could be seen on her face as she bled to death.
…
Outside, the mysterious person came to a bridge. Standing on the bridge, that person took off her hat and mask, revealing a beautiful, almost perfect face.
She had long black hair, and white skin, which was coupled with red lips, and sharp eyes filled with righteous aura.
The girl took out a police badge from her pocket, with the words “Justia – For justice and righteousness” engraved on it.
She looked at the badge for a long time and muttered: “Lathel, you said that I was born to carry out justice.”
“You said that I am the light of justice. Thanks to you, I became a good police officer, a person who enforces justice and is admired by everyone.”
“However, after becoming a police officer, I realized that darkness has covered the entire world.”
“Even where the law is kept and justice is enforced, there is also the darkness of suffering, greed and desire…”
“Lathel… sorry… but … I will carry out justice my way.”
After Justia finished speaking, she waved her hand and threw the police badge in her hand. It flew in a beautiful arc in the air and then fell into the pitch-black river.
…
Next morning…
At the CEO office of Phoenix Group. A young man about 25 years old was sitting on a chair.
He was about 190cm tall, he had brown hair, and a handsome face that was not inferior to movie superstars. His temperament was elegant and luxurious, with a bit of coldness on his face.
If Lathel saw this young man, he would definitely recognize him as the model of the male protagonist in novels of the cold, badass CEO genre.
That’s right, he was the CEO of Phoenix Group, and the person courting Selvia, syka.
He was also the stupid CEO in Justia and Arine’s words.
At this moment, he was frowning at the news on his phone.
“Famous female idol – Arine committed suicide in the dressing room.”
“The pressure of idols or scandals related to love.”
“Female Idol Arine committed suicide because she was suspected of being involved in a murder case.”
There were many other similar articles related to Arine’s suicide.
Seeing this, Syka shook his head and sighed: “Arine committed suicide? Sigh, this is also understandable.”
“She was cornered. If she is caught by the police, her career will be destroyed, and she will fall from heaven to hell.”
“Even though she will not be sentenced to death, an idol as lovely and kind as an angel hiring someone to threaten others is an extremely terrible thing.”
“If she is not imprisoned, Lathel’s mother will take action, and Arine’s fate will be a hundred times more terrible than going to prison.”
“Arine, this is the outcome you created yourself, it has nothing to do with me.”
Syka muttered and smiled confidently, he then took a sip of his hot coffee.
Right now, he was thinking about how to win Selvia’s heart.
“Maybe… I should leave her alone for a few days. After all, Lathel is dead, and there’s no one to stop me from winning her heart.”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Syka frowned and said: “Who is it?”
“I… it’s me… your secretary. I… I have some documents for you to look at, can I come in?”
“Hmm?!” Syka felt confused. He remembered that he had resolved all the work yesterday, why were there more documents that needed his approval today?
Although confused, Syka did not suspect anything, he went to the door, then opened it.
The door opened, and in front of him was a mysterious person. That person was wearing a loose Hoodie, a baseball cap, and a black mask.
Looking at the appearance, it seemed that the person was female.
However, what startled Syka was that the mysterious person was grabbing his female secretary’s hair and dragging her on the ground.
Her face was covered in blood, and her mouth was slightly open in pain, but Syka could see that there was also a lot of blood in her mouth and several teeth were missing.
“You…”
Syka spoke up, intending to ask who the person was, but that person immediately kicked him in the stomach.
