Chapter 325: A Brilliant Strategy

Overwhelmed by fear, Waverly strove to calm her mind, contemplating ways to save herself. She knew Tiffany wouldn’t let her off the hook easily, and that leaving Mindy alone in prison would inevitably lead to trouble. After all, Mindy had too much leverage over her. She simply didn’t expect Mindy to crack so soon and start spilling her secrets. The thought of her imminent downfall and impending isolation from friends and family weighed heavily on her mind. Waverly simply could not keep calm any longer.

“This won’t do! I need to come up with a plan to get Mindy out of the picture first! I can’t afford to let someone who could cause me such a significant problem continue living! I have to save Mindy, no matter the cost!”

With this thought in mind, Waverly strode into the bathroom, fearlessly meeting Tiffany’s gaze head-on. In the past, she hadn’t dared to approach Tiffany due to the latter’s formidable aura. With the example of Raylee before her, she felt that Tiffany was like the Grim Reaper. Once you got close, there would be no escape from death. However, at that moment, she was like a warrior preparing to meet her end. As she looked at Tiffany, her face still bore a smile as she said, “Ms. Tiffany, it’s been a while! I heard you’re expecting, congratulations!”

“You?” The moment Tiffany saw Waverly, her eyes turned a fiery red. “You dare show your face to me again? And even have the audacity to act all sarcastic? You must have a death wish! Aren’t you afraid I’ll end you?”

As the words fell, a harsh slap landed on Waverly’s face, knocking her head askew with a direct hit. Her cheek had swelled up significantly, red and inflamed from the imprint of a hand, and the corner of her mouth was even bleeding. Waverly neither resisted nor attempted to evade. She straightened her posture, her eyes firmly fixed on Tiffany as she said, “If you are upset, feel free to vent it out, Ms. Tiffany.”

Tiffany glared at her with bloodshot eyes, seething with anger. “Do you really think a few beatings would be enough for me to forgive you? All thanks to you, I’m pregnant and in need of getting an abortion! I held no grudge against you, and even when you stole Casimir from me, I didn’t seek revenge. So why did you resort to such despicable tactics against me? I have never endured such humiliation before! Just you wait, Waverly! I won’t let you die easily, I’ll put you through a fate worse than death!”

Though the incident involving Tiffany that night had absolutely no connection to Waverly, the latter had no plans to deny it anymore. Tiffany had already concluded that she was the mastermind behind the scenes, so it would be in vain even if she denied it a thousand times. At that moment, she could only seek another way out.

A glint of cold light flashed across Waverly’s face as she said, “Ms. Tiffany, have you ever heard of a saying? ‘Every man for himself.’ I won’t give you the chance to ruin me. It wasn’t easy for me to return to the Goodridge family, transforming from a peniless girl into a wealthy young lady. Do you really think I’d be so easily defeated by you?”

The lethal intent in Tiffany’s eyes was unmistakable. “Let’s see how this goes! It’s been ages since I have met a worthy opponent in chess. As for grudges and scores, I’ll settle them with you slowly!”

“No need to take your time. Go ahead and settle them now!” Waverly suddenly turned around and fiercely slammed her head into the wall. The moment her head collided with the wall, she was left with a bleeding gash. The vibrant crimson of her blood had nearly stained her entire face red. That harrowing act of self-harm, coupled with the shocking sight of blood, left Tiffany utterly bewildered.

“What are you doing?” she asked in surprise, completely clueless about Waverly’s intentions. Is she trying to apologize with death? Are you kidding me? Given Waverly’s fear of death, there’s no way she would just die!

As Tiffany was quickly pondering over the reasons behind Waverly’s actions, Waverly suddenly cried out, “Help! Murder!” As she spoke, she once again slammed forcefully into the wall. The wound, injured for the second time, caused her blood to drip down like water. This time, she flashed Tiffany a creepy smile. Tiffany’s mind had completely shut down. That was when she finally understood that Waverly was deliberately harming herself to frame her.

Wait, is she actually serious? She could really die if she keeps bleeding like this! I can’t believe she’s actually accusing me of murder! This woman is utterly ruthless!

“Shut the f*ck up! I’ve never even laid a finger on you!” Tiffany couldn’t help but vent out in a burst of harsh language. She then crouched down again, covering Waverly’s mouth to stop her from spouting any nonsense. At that moment, people outside had heard cries for help and rushed over, only to find Waverly covered in blood from head to toe. On top of that, Tiffany was covering Waverly’s mouth, looking as if she was about to smother her. Upon witnessing this scene, people were instantly struck with shock, their voices rising in a chorus of startled exclamations.

“Oh, no! This is terrible! Someone’s been killed in the restroom! Quick, call the police!”
