Chapter 73 - Soul-sisters. (1/2)
Carnation Hills is the area situated at ending boundary of Country A. The area is fully enveloped by the beauty of nature and suited to lead a peaceful life and recuperation. That's was one of the reason that made Deming to think of this for his Jie. It will surely help her recuperate.
At this hour of the pitch black night, the only sound audible in the 'Carnation Hills' was the rustling of the leaves, mere sounds of crickets and the flapping sound of wings of the insects. The sidewalk of the roads was covered with dense trees and the only thing visible was the shining feathers of the fireflies.
A black Maybach was ruffling down the streets with the speed which was almost comparable to the speed of lightning. His eyes were full of contempt for himself, ”Where is she? She should have just asked me to drop her back? Such a stubborn girl”. Though he was pushing the blames on her, he knew well who the here to be blamed.
At this moment his phone buzzed, it was a call. He readily declined the call, to which after few second the phone buzzed with a text message. He didn't bother to give a glance to it. Few minutes passed by, the phone vibrated again with a caller-id. ”What is it?”, he said in a deep ferocious voice.
”Where are you? I came to Carnation Hills, but you aren't here?” Murphy said gently, though his eyes state opposite story.
”I am not there”
”Then where are you”, Murphy asked.
”Don't bother”, he was about to hung up the call but he halted when he heard the name of the person, he was looking for.
”Lifen?”, Murphy said in the kind of voice as if she was standing in front of him.
Before you can say knife, his foot pressed the brakes of the car. His eyes shone like gold, as if he has found the treasure of his ancestors, ”Is she there? Don't let her leave, I will be there in 5 minutes”.
Without listening to another word, he hung up the call, making the U-turn back to the mansion.
Just after 4 minutes, the call pulled up outside the mansion. He swiftly stepped out the car and walked inside, ”Where is she?”. He demanded when he saw Murphy sitting comfortably on the sofa all alone.
His eyes scanned the whole living room to search her but couldn't find her. ”Who are you looking for?”. Deming gave him a murderous glare. ”Oh, you are talking about Lifen. She is not here. Why would be here after all that you have done to her?”, he voiced out, his tone holded a slight of contempt.
Deming didn't replied to him, instead walked towards the room. Seeing him leave, Murphy informed him, ”Don't worry about her. I have dropped her back at her residence before. She is quite cool girl. She will never hold any grudge against you. So you don't about her next move. She will soon move on in her life”.
Deming kept on walking to the room. Murphy waved at hir back, ”Since there is nothing more, I will ask your leave, Boss”. With that he left the mansion.

Few days passed by, Lifen kept herself secluded herself. Within these day, she has often visited Li Corporation to help her grandfather. She didn't bother to visit Wang Corporation and neither anyone from there called her.
Lifen was reading something, sitting on ther study table when the door was dashed open. She turned to look and soon left a fake chuckle to hide her mood from her soul sisters.
”Wah, what a pleasant morning? You both have come to visit me”, Lifen said with a broad smile on her face.
”Why have you hid yourself in this room?” Daiyu chided out loud.
”Hahahaha, what are you talking about? Why would I hide myself and from whom?” Lifen swiftly averted her gaze.
”Because you fear that we would see through you, through your heart”, Guang said when she saw her averting her gaze. She already knew that this will happen sooner or later but didn't expected to be this soon.
Daiyu widened her eyes on Guang and then squinted her eyes on Lifen, ”Is there something I didn't know?”
”There is nothing that we have hidden from you. You are dumb enough that you missed everything by yourself ”, Guang said twitching her lips.
