Evelyn felt heavy-hearted.

Alana told Evelyn about her past with Abel and Emmeline.

Abel was most likely referring to that.

However, Evelyn had to pretend not to know Alana as she listened to Abel's narration.

"If killing someone isn't a legal offense, I would have killed her multiple times. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore. Do you want to guess what happened next?"

"What happened next?"

Evelyn took a deep breath, and her face turned pale.

Later, Abel chopped off two of Alana's fingers.

Abel wanted to take away Alana's life, but Abel did not want to break the law.

A crippling chill crept upon Evelyn's back. Evelyn felt uneasy in her seat.

However, Evelyn gritted her teeth, and she suppressed her fear, trying to keep herself calm.

Abel looked at Evelyn, and he asked in a hostile tone, "Ms. Evelyn, why are you sweating? Is it hot in here?"

"Ah." Evelyn quickly answered, "It's a little hot and stuffy here."


"Really?" Abel smiled, "Ms. Evelyn, I think you have broken into a cold sweat."

"Cold sweat?' Evelyn laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Abel, you're quite humorous. Why would I break into a cold sweat? The storage room feels hot and stuffy. That's all."

"I see. Let me continue the story." Abel continued, "Ms. Evelyn, can you guess what happened to Ms. Alana?"

"How could I have guessed?" Evelyn laughed nervously. "Why don't you reveal the answer, Mr. Abel?"

"Alright." Abel nodded, "Ms. Evelyn, try the dishes. The seafood is not bad."

Evelyn wasn't in the mood for seafood.

However, Evelyn ate an oyster to cover up her panic.

"It's fresh. I like the taste."

"Great." Abel said, "Later, Alana was getting on my nerves. Right at this spot, I…"

"Here?" Evelyn stood up. A chill ran down her spine.

Two of Alana's fingers were chopped off here!

"What's wrong?" Abel said coldly, "Ms. Evelyn seems terrified."

"Here…" Evelyn's face turned pale. She continued what she had blurted out accidentally, "Did you kill Alana here, Mr. Abel?"

Abel spoke slowly, "I was thinking of killing Alana here. We're near the sea. It's easy to dispose of a person by throwing the body into the ocean to feed the sharks."

Evelyn was stunned.

Evelyn's face was ashen. She stood in front of the table with her legs trembling.

"However…" Abel said, "I'm a law-abiding businessman. I don't want to get my hands dirty unless it's necessary. I used this kitchen knife to chop off two of that woman's fingers on this table!"

After Abel finished his story, he put a rusty kitchen knife on the table.

"Ah!" Evelyn sat on the floor in shock, and she almost wet herself.

"Mr. Abel, what are you trying to do?"

"I hated it when people plot against me." Abel gritted his teeth, "Especially when the culprit is a woman!"

"Mr. Abel, there must be a misunderstanding. I didn't plot against you!"
