Chapter 515


    As Heather walked out of the apartment, the cold breeze hit her face and it brought upon a wave of


    coldness. However, she couldn’t stop thinking of Leon’s words; he actually made a lot of sense.


    Perhaps making use of Matthias is the most logical decision right now. However, the thought of having


    to be entangled with Matthias once again deterred her from making this move. As far as things


    were right now, Caleb hadn’t made his move just yet.


    She didn’t go to her car immediately after walking out of the housingpound; instead, she decided


    to take a walk around the area. Normally, she felt better after taking a walk when she was in a bad


    mood and presently, she enjoyed being out on this bitterly cold night.


    There was a drop in temperature on this cool, fall night and it slowly seeped into her. The cold air


    flowed through her jacket so she quickly wrapped herself up tightly. Today, she was dressed quite thinly


    and the bone-chilling cold air on such a night reawakened her senses, making her feel quite refreshed


    by it. This was indeed a bitterly cold, fall night.


    Recently, it rained quite frequently and each time it did, the temperature outdoors would drop further.


    As such, the coldness seemed to hit earlier this yearpared to the previous years. It felt like they


    had jumped straight from a hot summer’s day to a blustery cold, fall night. Meanwhile, Heather stared


    at the fallen leaves on the ground and took a deep breath of cold air.


    This breath of cold air cooled her down immediately and she curled up her lips into a smile, somehow


    enjoying this perverse feeling. The breath she exhaled was quite warm and she tried to warm her


    hands by blowing a stream of hot air on them. Although the warmth hit her hands, it didn’t manage to


    warm her heart, which was slowly turning colder and colder.


    Her current location was quite deserted so there weren’t that many passersby on the street. The quiet


    night brought upon a terrifying vibe in the surroundings. Heather kept walking further along, all the


    while feeling lonely. Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her.


    She stared silently at the person in the car who rolled the window down. The face of the person who


    stared back at her looked quite honest. However, she didn’t recall meeting this guy before so she


    looked at him warily. Despite his honest look, she knew it was quite important to keep her guard up


    among strangers.


    “Hi there! Do you need a ride?” The slightly plump, middle-aged man had a rich, baritone voice.


    “No thanks,” she rejected him with a darkened expression. There must be something wrong with this


    guy!


    The middle-aged man heard her rejection and subsequently opened his car door to get out of his car.


    Meanwhile, she furrowed her brows slightly and her body went into alert mode. I definitely won’t let him


    off lightly if he dares to do anything to me!


    “Are you Miss Langston?” He asked with an honest, straightforward voice. He had a down-to-earth look


    which somehow managed to make one lower their guard.


    Suddenly, Heather came to her senses and disyed abative stance. “Yes, I am.” She maintained


    an impassive look on her face, but her cool and aloof expression naturally exuded a rejecting vibe.


    “A gentleman sent me here to fetch you,” he carefully exined himself. Currently, Heather gave out a


    dangerous vibe and he was fairly terrified of her.


    The person who had hired him had warned him in advance that she wasn’t an ordinary woman; in fact,


    she was usually quite wary of strangers and she might bebative too. However, he had brushed off


    the person’s words back then. The photo he had seen of her seemed to indicate that she was quite


    pure and innocent but unexpectedly, she possessed amandeering aura when he was faced with


    her.


    “Gentleman? What does he look like?” She questioned him quite forcefully. It felt like she was targeted


    by someone.


    Immediately, Heather looked around at her surroundings. Although she didn’t catch sight of anyone,


    she could sense that there was a pair of eyes fixated upon her. This feeling was quite ufortable


    and she was keen to find out who was behind all this.


    “Miss Langston, I’m not too sure what’s going on too. He contacted me by phone and transferred the


    money into my bank ount directly, so I had no choice but to ept this job,” The middle-aged man


    sounded quite resigned; it seemed that the person behind all this was quite domineering.


    “I don’t need a ride, so stop bothering me.” She looked at him coldly. He had disrupted her mood to


    stroll around the neighborhood and she was quite annoyed by that.


    “Miss Langston, I have to escort you back home safely. It’s my assigned task today,” He pleaded with


    her to the point where there were beads of perspiration that formed on his forehead.


    “That’s not necessary, and I really don’t want to keep repeating myself.” Heather turned her back on


    him with an annoyed look on her face. She no longer wanted to continue arguing with him.


    “I’m sorry but could you please help me out with this task here? I’ll be punished if I don’tplete it,”


    he said with a dejected look on his face. His current expression paired with his honest look could


    obviously gain one’s sympathy.


    “This is a pointless task, so who cares whether youplete it or not? Besides, whether you get


    punished or not has got nothing to do with me at all,” Heathermented quite nonchntly. This had


    nothing to do with her after all, so there was really no point in emotionally ckmailing her.


    The man did not expect her callousness at all and he nned to pull at her heartstrings in the hopes


    that he couldplete his task sessfully. Surprisingly though, she left him with those words.


    “Please don’t make my life difficult.” He looked at her fretfully. Meanwhile, he had run out of ideas on


    how to get her to hop into his car.


    “You’d better stop bothering me or else I’ll call the cops on you!” She retorted with a cold voice. It looks


    like this guy doesn’t have any dangerous weapons on him so he won’t be a match for me if wee to


    blows.


    All of a sudden, he became quite frightened by the dark vibes this woman gave off. She never regarded


    herself as a nice person. On the contrary, she had a dark side to her that was usually hidden from the


    public. Right now, she had no qualms in revealing her worst side to this stranger, who was continuously


    pestering her. In the past, she hade out unscathed in her fight with five strapping guys and


    presently, her expression was exactly the same as back then.


    “Miss Langston, could you please help me out here?” he pleaded. However, the thing that Heather


    hated the most was to be forced into doing something she was unwilling to do. Besides, she couldn’t


    stand the pleas of this strapping bloke in front of her.


    “You can inform the person who employed you that I don’t need a ride from you. Get him toe over


    here personally to send me home,” Heather muttered her words slowly. However, her rejection was


    clearly evident.


    In the end, the man gave up as soon as he realized that she was about to lose her patience with him;


    he could clearly sense the danger in this situation. Suddenly, he recalled the reminder he was given


    and couldn’t help but worry that she might attack him. In the end, he hurriedly re-entered his car.


    With each step that Heather took, the car trailed behind her steadfastly. She was quite aware that this


    man had no ill intentions but this behavior evoked her displeasure. Meanwhile, she tried hard to


    suppress her anger and treated the car behind her as if it was invisible.


    Just then, she neared her breaking point and decided to head back to her car. Since I can’t take a stroll


    by myself, then I might as well go home early! Heather mulled this over quickly and tried toe up


    with a way to find out the identity of the person who had sent such an annoying guy. Initially, Matthias’


    face shed across her mind but then she immediately corrected herself because she knew that he


    wouldn’t resort to such pointless moves.


    “Who’s the one behaving so pointlessly here?” she gritted out through clenched teeth.


    And so, she kept walking for quite a distance until she saw her car. Without hesitation, she headed to


    her car and yanked open the car door. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man trailed behind her closely.


    She shut the door and drove back home. From her rearview mirror, she could clearly see the middle-


    aged man trailing after her in his shy, red Ferrari. It looks like he is fairly wealthy too, so I wonder


    who could threaten him into doing this.


    Meanwhile, Heather increased her speed but the man did so as well and followed closely behind her. It


    was only then that she wondered whether she had encountered a lunatic here. Oh gosh! He’s still


    following me at the speed I’m going! Does he have a death wish? As for Heather, she had conveniently


    forgotten that she was also risking her own life with her reckless actions.


    Suddenly, she received a text from an unknown number. “Don’t speed. You’re a woman and you should


    take care of yourself.” Heather stared at the text with a bewildered expression. Just then, her sense of

    being targeted heightened drastically.


    Right after that, she slowed down her car. Looks like the guy has great driving skills too. she thought to


    herself as she tried hard to calm down. Meanwhile, she was quite close to the Langston Residence and


    she was also curious as to what the guy would do.


    Soon after that, she arrived home and parked her car at the entrance. However, she didn’t bother to


    park her car in the garage but stopped at the entrance. Just then, the red Ferrari stopped behind her


    too, and the middle-aged man stared at her from afar as she turned around to re at him.


    She saw him smile at her with a friendly look while saying, “I’vepleted my task. I’m sorry for


    bothering you so much. Have a good night’s sleep.”


    As soon as he finished his baffling sentence, he then drove off right away. Heather stood there with her


    eyes narrowed into thin slits as she wondered, What is the motive of the person behind all this?


    Suddenly, the door to the Langston Residence swung open from the inside. She slowly made her way


    in while the butler stood by the entrance, looking at her with a respectful look on his face.


    Normally, he would be asleep by now and it was usually the security guard on night duty who opened


    the door for her. She didn’t expect to see him tonight, so she looked at him with an incredulous


    expression and noted his struggling look.


    All in all, today was quite a baffling day for Heather and she had encountered one weird situation after


    the other. Just then, she initiated the conversation and said, “Could you please park my car into the


    garage?”


    He took the car keys from her hands and politely agreed, “Sure, Miss Heather.”


    Heather stared at his familiar smiling face but felt that something was amiss. As such she asked


    nonchntly, “Why are you still up sote at night?”


    “I woke up all of a sudden and came out for a stroll. Coincidentally, you got home at the same time.”


    His expression revealed his anxiety and Heather caught sight of that quite perceptively. She didn’t


    understand why he lied to her but she softened her expression anyway. She realized that her


    expression was quite terrifying, perhaps due to her earlier frustrations.


    “Thanks. I’ll go back to my room now.” She forced out a smile, which only served to cause further


    anxiety to the butler. Right now, each and every single expression she gave out was honestly quite


    intimidating.


    Meanwhile, Heather’s thoughts were all jumbled up and she couldn’t seem to make much sense of it.


    Can everything possibly be linked? She felt like she was currently lost in a maze and had to make her


    way out but then she kept running into dead ends. However, she felt like she was actually very close to


    finding her way out, despite all the blockages. That being said, this current feeling frustrated her very


    much.


    The first thing she did upon entering her bedroom was to open up all the windows because she couldn’t


    stand the smell of incense inside her room. Besides, this was the only way she could get some fresh air


    from outdoors. She took a deep breath and inhaled in the cold air to awaken her senses.


    Regardless of everything, she was determined to figure out what was going on right now. She then took


    out her phone and immediately sent a text to the unknown number.


    ‘Who are you? Why did you stalk me?’ Heather was quite worried that the other party would ignore her


    text and she clearly knew that there was no way of tracing that number. Surely, he was quite powerful


    to be able to keep track of her without revealing himself. All of his actions indicated that too, but she


    hoped that he would reveal himself to her willingly.


    Although she was quite confident that he would eventually have to reveal himself, she hated this feeling


    of being kept in the dark. Ever since Caleb appeared in my life, I’ve been having all these strange


    encounters, she couldn’t help but grumble to herself.
