Chapter 129

As soon as Wanda got back to the hotel, she resigned. Her colleague quickly pulled her aside and asked, "Are you sure you want to quit? Ms. Locke told you to think it over. She isn't forcing you to do anything!" However, Wanda replied, "You heard Ms. Locke too, I'm destined to have no family ties, so marriage is probably out of the question for me. Maybe that's for the best!"

She sighed and continued, "Working with Ms. Locke means a higher salary, and she doesn't seem like the type to be hard on her employees."

"But what about that place?"

Wanda smiled. "You said it yourself-where else can I find such a good-paying job? Plus, Ms. Locke's offer is generous. She'll cover all my benefits, and I won't have to pay rent. I can stay there." That place was a luxurious villa in Riverview, where every square inch was valuable.

Plus, she would have a proper guest room instead of being stuck in a maid's quarters. The more she thought about it, the more Wanda felt like she had hit the jackpot.

Her colleague noticed the look on her face and felt a twinge of envy, but the thought of the strange things in that place quickly quashed it. She still preferred a normal, straightforward life.

As darkness enveloped the midnight sky, Lucian's ghost drifted lazily to Wanda's rental apartment.

He tilted his head at the peephole, revealing a chilling smile, His fingernails scraped against the iron door, creating a chilling sound. "Wanda, open the door. I'm here," he called.

However, not a single sound could be heard inside.

Lucian could sense Wanda's presence, and his smile grew even more s sinister as dark blood oozed from his battered form.

"Wanda, why are you still being so foolish? Do you really think this door can stop me? You know better. It can't hold me back." With a laugh, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke and slipped inside.

The living room was silent, but the atmosphere was thickest in the bathroom. He grinned and approached the glass door. "Wanda, Wanda, I'm coming in."

As he slipped through the crack in the door, he continued, "You have no family. I'm your only family! Since we're family, we should be together."

The black mist drifted into the bathroom, gradually solidifying into form.

reeny smile. "Wanda..."

Lucian tilted his head with a creepy

He paused for a moment when he spotted Wanda sitting in the bathtub. She smiled gently, holding a baseball bat with a bright yellow talisman taped to it.

She tapped the bat against her palm, saying sweetly, "Lucian, do you remember what you said? If you ever cheat, I'll beat you to death.

For some reason, Lucian recalled the day he was beaten to death.

1. e. How man

many times should I beat you to death?"

"You not only cheated on me, but you did it more than once, Lucian instinctively tried to flee but quickly remembered he was a ghost. Straightening up, he bared his teeth and swayed his broken head. "You want to beat me to death? But I'm already dead!" After a moment, he added, "Wands, does that mean you still have feelings for me? If you really like me that mu Instead?"

Before long, the bathroom was filled with his pitiful cries.

much, why not join me

An hour later, Wanda glanced at Lucian, who was curled up in the corner. She gave him a kick and said, "I thought you were tough, but it turns out you're just a useless piece of trash. You were trash when you were alive, and you're just as pathetic now that you're dead."
