A voice came from behind her…
It was… Fiennes’ voice.
Su Wan’s heart thumped heavily. Her lips sank, and she felt a chill coming from her back.
Su Wan’s mind was filled with thoughts. The first thing that came to her mind was that Diya said that Fiennes had an appointment today, and it was impossible for him to return home.
Was it because Diya had revealed what had happened today, or did Fiennes change his mind at the last minute, or was it because that man had already predicted their actions today…
“What? You have the guts to plan an arson escape, but you don’t have the guts to look at me?”
Fiennes said calmly. His voice seemed to have a strange rhythm that made people’s souls tremble.
Su Wan’s body felt as if it was filled with lead. It was so heavy that it was difficult for her to turn around.
Su Wan gritted her teeth and finally slowly turned her face.
A slender and elegant figure appeared in her line of sight.
The other party was dressed elegantly. He wore a hand-made suit that was made for the season. His face was handsome and elegant. Although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, the smile did not reach his eyes.
When people looked at him, a chill would run down their spines.
The middle-aged woman standing next to Su Wan had long been scared out of her wits by this sudden reversal!
She had never expected that Fiennes would actually appear here.
It was over.
In the entire Siswell family, who did not know that young master Fiennes, who looked as gentle as jade, was the most ruthless and merciless in doing things?!
Anyone who offended him would probably not even have a single bone left!
How could she have been so greedy back then, wanting that little bit of benefit that Miss Diya had promised?!
That middle-aged woman’s legs instantly went weak. She knelt down on both knees and hurriedly begged Fiennes for mercy.
“Young Master Fiennes, I didn’t mean to bring Miss Su to escape. It’s just that Miss Diya said that if I were to succeed in this matter, she would help my son to be placed in the department of the God’s Palace. I had no choice but to…”
Su Wan was startled when she heard that. She lowered her head to look at the middle-aged woman. The woman’s eyes were red, and her face was filled with extreme fear.
This kind of frightened look really didn’t seem to be faked.
Su Wan instantly understood that it was probably not Diya who had betrayed her, but Fiennes… who had really guessed her plan long ago.
Just as the middle-aged woman wanted to continue speaking, Fiennes had already waved his hand.
“Aunt Shen, I thought you were a smart person. If you had told me what happened earlier, your son’s matter would have been a piece of cake for me, hmm?”
Fiennes did not even look at Su Wan. He bent down and his blue eyes fell on the middle-aged woman who was called Aunt Shen.
His eyes were clear and full of affection.
Aunt Shen did not expect Fiennes to speak to her in such a gentle tone. She raised her head in fear and instantly met Fiennes’ face.
The other party had a smile on his face. His face was handsome and dignified.
Even so, Aunt Shen felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Gentleness was just an illusion of this young man.
Aunt Shen could be considered old in the Siswell family. She had watched young master Fiennes grow up, so how could she not know that this man was merciless when he turned hostile?!
Back then, Fiennes had dealt with a few of his subordinates. That kind of thunderous method really made people shudder when they hear it!
Aunt Shen suddenly shivered and immediately buried her head even lower in fear, her voice full of pleading.
“Young Master Fiennes, please spare me this time. I promise that if there is such a thing next time, I will be the first to tell you. Please spare my life…”
Aunt Shen’s eyes were full of tears. She knelt down in front of Fiennes’ custom-made high-end leather shoes, her posture extremely humble.
However, even so, she could not move Fiennes at all.
“There’s a next time? Heh…”
Fiennes sneered. He paused for a moment, but the smile in his voice was as cold as ice.
There was no need for Fiennes to say it a second time. Aunt Shen already understood that she had said something wrong!
Aunt Shen thought of Fiennes’ methods of “dealing with traitors” in the past. In that instant, she felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her, and her entire body went cold.
Her breathing stopped. After she came back to her senses, she hurriedly began to kowtow to Fiennes. Her voice was already hoarse.
“Young Master Fiennes, on account of the fact that I watched you grow up in the past, please spare me. I promise… promise…”
Aunt Shen’s words were out of tune. Fiennes looked down at her with an arrogant expression, as if he was a god looking down from the clouds, but he did not have the slightest bit of compassion.
“Why should I spare a traitor?”
As he spoke, Fiennes finally glanced at Su Wan indifferently.
It was unknown whether the word ‘traitor’ was referring to Aunt Shen or Su Wan, who was being stared at by him at the moment.
“Men, bring Aunt Shen to the Quiet Room!”
All of a sudden, Fiennes raised his hand, and two muscular men dressed in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding the middle-aged woman who was sobbing on the left and right.
“I don’t want to go to the Quiet Room, I don’t want to!”
The middle-aged woman named Aunt Shen shouted in a heart-wrenching manner!
It was as if the Quiet Room that Fiennes mentioned was a place even more terrifying than hell.
Seeing this scene, Su Wan shivered. She took a deep breath and suddenly walked towards Fiennes.
When she was about two steps away from Fiennes, Su Wan stopped.
“Young Master Fiennes, this is all because of me. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. Let her go.”
It was indeed her fault.
There was no need to implicate others.
She was still of use to Fiennes, and if that middle-aged woman called Aunt Shen was really brought down by Fiennes, she might not even be able to save her life.
Su Wan thought self-deprecatingly. She was already infected with CHK Virus No.3 anyway, there was no need to implicate another person.
Hearing Su Wan’s words, Aunt Shen suddenly stopped sobbing.
She looked at Su Wan in a daze. Obviously, she did not expect this young woman to help her plead for mercy.
To be more precise, she asked to bear all these things on her body.
Fiennes stared at Su Wan without blinking. His blue eyes were as deep as the ocean. On the surface, it was calm, but in the next moment, it could set off a monstrous wave.
Ha, this woman…
Fiennes pursed his lips, but his handsome face flashed with a moment of ridicule.
“Miss Su, why do you think I let her go because of your words? You want to be a hero? But it’s not that easy to be a hero.”
Su Wan listened calmly and then shook her head.
“I don’t want to be a hero. I’m just stating my decision. She’s just a mother who wants her son to live a better life. I don’t think she made a big mistake…”
Huh, a good mother?
Su Wan did not know which word Su Wan had said that angered Fiennes. All of a sudden, Fiennes glanced at her coldly, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
“Su Wan, since you insist on being a hero, I’ll give you a chance! You’ll go to the Quiet Room instead!”
