Chapter 419


    Mandy moved forward after that, with Nelly staying close behind her.


    Linda watched them and scoffed. “That’s Nelly Tanner? Hah, if I didn’t have a baby in me now, I’d


    really want to vent for you!”


    “I’m not such a pushover yet!” Cordelia smiled. “Don’t worry. She won’t get to bully me!”


    “Right. You have Zephyr with you. Who’d dare bully you?” Linda chuckled as well and suddenly


    asked thoughtfully, “Does Nelly look like her father?”


    “Why the question?”


    “I just think that she isn’t like Mrs. Tanner at all, not even in terms of their vibe!”


    Cordelia paused. She had never paid attention to this before.


    Linda had spent years learning sketching and oil painting, and she was the best at drawing


    portraits. Whenever she looked at people, she liked observing their facial shapes, lines, and stuff.


    “Linda, are you itching to draw again?”


    Linda giggled.


    “I shall send you home sooner then. You still have the whole afternoon. Draw to your heart’s


    content!”


    …


    Like a fragile piece of paper, Kelly was stuffed into the van with her mouth covered.


    The van left the hospital and sped onto the road. Kelly had ck tape over her mouth, disheveled


    hair, and reddened eyes. She looked at the man next to her in terror.


    The man drove and said, “Don’t be scared, miss! You just have to take some meds once we arrive!”


    Kelly trembled.


    “Don’t worry. You won’t suffer!” The man said with a grin, “It’s just something to turn you mute!”


    Kelly’s tears fell. She knew that this was Nelly’s doing. The driver was her subordinate, and


    everything was her arrangement.


    Mandy had just gone to the doctor, and the bodyguards guarding her door were gone. This driver


    had barged in when she waspletely defenseless.

    The driver snickered. “Miss, Ms. Nelly mentioned that she doesn’t want you dead. It’s good as long


    as you shut your mouth!”


    Kelly sucked in a cold breath and forced herself to calm down. She must not die nor turn mute, but


    she could do nothing now…


    She squirmed and coughed violently.


    The driver looked at her and snorted. “What’s the difference between her and a dead person that I


    have to get her all the way to the suburbs and force the drug down her throat?”


    He loosened the ropes that tied Kelly up as he spoke.


    “Ms. Nelly only asks for you to be mute. Not dead! So I’m loosening the ropes. Don’t cough


    yourself to death, or I won’t be able to get out of this!”


    Kelly worked her wrists out and saw the car in front of them at that moment. Unable to think further,


    she threw herself to grab the steering wheel.


    The driver was shocked and shoved her to the side.


    The car swerved and drove betweennes, causing the cars around it to honk as a warning.


    “Are you f*cking asking to be killed!?” the driver cursed hysterically.


    Kelly did not give up. This time, she went for the driver’s eyes… The van lost control, and the driver


    stepped on the brake instinctively, but it was already toote.


    With a bang, the van collided with the car in front of it and was severely damaged.


    The strong momentum threw Kelly against the windshield and bounced her back to the seat. Her


    forehead was busted, and blood oozed from the wound.
