Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Died Together with That Person

The person deliberately concealed her voice. Peyton couldn’t discern

her tone.

But when she lifted Peyton’s chin with her fingertips, Peyton caught a faint scent of herbs.

Peyton studied Western medicine and had little knowledge about herbs. She didn’t know if it was the taste of a single herb or a mixture of many herbs.

“Did you want to kill me?” Peyton asked directly.

“Your life and death were not determined by me.”

Peyton furrowed her brow. She didn’t understand the purpose of this person binding her here.

“What do you mean?”

This person not killing her made Peyton even more uneasy.

She knew that this was definitely related to Nolan.

“Nolan and I have already divorced. Now I have nothing. What exactly do you want to get from me?”

The person squeezed Peyton’s chin harder. Peyton felt some pain, but she still refused to make a sound.

“You were a very intelligent woman. No wonder he liked you so much.”

The person could tell at a glance that Peyton wanted to trick her. She

didn’t bring up anything about her and Nolan.

Peyton realized that the person was not fooled and continued, “Since it has come to this, I know I cannot leave today. If I am not mistaken, this should be an abandoned house by the seaside. Even if Nolan wants to save me, it is too late.”

“That’s right.”

“I have a request. Can I see who you are before I die? I want to know who caused such harm to the Schmitt family.”

The person squeezed Peyton’s chin harder. “You didn’t deserve to make demands of me.”

Peyton didn’t expect that this person would refuse her.

“I said that it might not be you who dies today.”

Peyton wanted to say something more, but she heard the sound of her phone vibrating. The person next to her answered the call and said lazily, “I was just playing around. Are you feeling sorry for her?”

In the quiet room, Peyton heard what seemed to be a man’s voice on the other end of the phone, but before she could listen carefully, her chin was released.

In the next second, the person walked away to make a phone call. Peyton could tell from the person’s tone that it was mocking, as if her life was not worth mentioning.

Peyton calmed down. Since she was blindfolded, she didn’t know what was happening around her and was afraid to untie the rope easily.

She tightly held the folding knife and thought, “Even if I can’t escape from here today, I will die together with that person!”

“Instead of seeking opportunities to escape, I would rather wait patiently.”

Peyton wanted to see what that person wanted to do!

She admonished herself not to be impatient, but her stomach was uncontrollably in severe pain.

Peyton curled up in pain. Her body was covered in sweat.

She thought to herself, “Damn, I’m really unlucky.”

“Ow…”

When Peyton tightly bit her lip, enduring the pain, she suddenly felt her lips touch something cold. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It seemed to be the rim of a cup.

Peyton didn’t dare to drink. Just then, a somewhat cold voice sounded, “You have come this far. Do I need to drug you?”

“Are you Dr. Yoder?”

Marlie snorted and did not deny it. “Drink it quickly.”

Peyton quickly took two sips. It was tasty water.

“Dr. Yoder, did you kill Caitlyn?” Peyton took the opportunity to ask.

“Stop talking nonsense,” Marlie didn’t respond to Peyton.

“Dr. Yoder, I went to see Caitlyn’s body. She died a terrible death. What grudge did she have with you all? Why did you treat her like that? She was a vibrant life! Don’t you feel scared when you sleep at night?”
