Chapter 1452 - 1493: The Scheme

It didn’t take long for Alessia Quinn to enter Mabel Quinn’s room. She took off her shoes and carefully walked inside the room, then put on gloves. Only then did she cautiously take out the timed bomb hidden in her clothes, looked around the room, and finally decided to place the bomb under the bed.

So Alessia carefully placed the bomb near the head of the bed, crawled out from under it again, wiped away any possible traces she might have left, and then, pretending nothing had happened, exited the room. She planned to join the other staff members, put on a show of working, and naturally leave the Quinn residence without arousing suspicion.

However, before she could reach the courtyard, suddenly two men jumped out from a hidden spot, grabbed her arms, and subdued her. Next, she saw her father and her uncle walk out from a concealed corner.

Her uncle looked at her with an icy gaze, while her father wore an expression of disbelief.

How could this be?! How could her uncle and father be here? Alessia’s mind instantly went blank.

"Alessia, you... you are..." Christopher Quinn mumbled after a long pause.

"I... I just got a job, and it happened to involve maintaining the gardens here at the Quinn residence. Once inside, I couldn’t resist taking a walk around," Alessia finally thought of an excuse.

"A walk around?" Edward Quinn gave a cold snort, his gaze at Alessia became even sharper, making Alessia involuntarily shrink back, "Do you know, ever since you entered the Quinn residence, someone has been following you."

Alessia was startled, her whole being seeming to freeze.

Then another person came over and said, "We found this bomb under the bed, it’s both time-settable and remotely controllable. Just now, I dismantled its explosive device."

Alessia looked up and saw that in the person’s hands was precisely the bomb she had placed earlier.

Was all of this... all of this actually a setup? A trap meant to lure her in? Could it be that Francine Howards was also involved? No, it couldn’t be, Francine wouldn’t have any reason to trap her like this unless her uncle had long understood she wouldn’t be satisfied and had been watching her movements all along.

How much did her uncle know about her collaboration with Francine? And Francine’s side of things...

"Alessia, you’ve really disappointed me." Christopher Quinn mumbled, as a father, he had always believed his daughter was still good. Even if she had indeed harmed Mabel Quinn, he had always found excuses for her, always thought she wouldn’t do such things again.

But it wasn’t until he saw with his own eyes his daughter entering Mabel’s room, saw with his own eyes the surveillance capturing her placing that bomb under the bed, that he finally woke up.

This child was no longer the one he believed her to be, had changed into someone he didn’t recognize at all.

Alessia’s expression changed, "Disappointed? What did I do wrong? It was Mabel Quinn who was at fault, she shouldn’t have taken everything from me. If she hadn’t inexplicably appeared and suppressed me in every way, how could I have ended up like this... However, haha... Uncle, do you really think your plan is foolproof? Even if you’ve caught me, so what, do you really think the Quinn family will be at peace because of this? No, haha... soon enough, you’ll feel like you’re in the Hell Realm too..."
