Chapter 525:

Lindsay convinced herself that, much like before on the forum, she was simply a pawn in Hale’s game.

The only difference now was that it was happening offline.

The essence of the situation hadn’t changed.

Lindsay asked with a serious face, “What do I need to do?”

“Keep pretending you don’t know anything in front of Harlee.

In three days, lure her to White Cliff Wharf.

My men will take care of the rest.”

Hale laid out the plan, all while secretly arranging for a pharmacist to create memory-erasing pills.

His partnership with Lindsay wasn’t about dealing with his beloved Harlee, but using Lindsay’s foolish tactics to confuse Harlee and get her to take the memory-erasing pills.

Once Harlee’s memory was wiped, he would be the first to appear, claiming to be her fiancé.

Then, he wouldn’t have to fear losing her.

They might even have a bright future together.

Lindsay didn’t question Hale’s abilities, especially after the haunting images of two people lying in pools of blood.

“I understand.”

Hale raised his hand, and the man who had brought Lindsay in appeared immediately, gesturing for her to leave.

“Miss Morgan, you may leave now.”

“What about Etta?” Lindsay asked.

The man answered politely, “She’s barely alive after your attack.

The doctors are still working to save her.”

Lindsay’s heart skipped a beat.

Had she truly come close to killing Etta? It seemed like an exaggeration.

She placed a hand on her chest, feeling an unsettling sensation as if something inside her was shifting.

However, the man didn’t allow her time to dwell, quickly ushering her back into the car.

Inside the room, a man in a white coat emerged from the shadows, his face smug.

“Looks like the first test subject worked as expected.”

Hale’s voice was low.

“What about the woman barely alive? How long will the drug take effect?”

“The medication was administered right after the surgery,” the man in a white coat replied confidently.

“In no more than three days, she’ll be just like Miss Morgan.”

“Excellent!” Hale smiled, his satisfaction clear.

His mind shifted to Harlee, confident that he could keep her by his side after all the schemes he had devised.

At the Morgan household, Lindsay suddenly snapped her eyes open.

She shifted to look at Etta, who lay next to her, seemingly in a deep slumber.

In a burst of anger, she threw off the covers, slipped on her slippers, and left the bed.

After Lindsay departed, Etta, who had appeared motionless, abruptly opened her eyes.

Her gaze, cold and filled with malice, suggested thoughts that remained hidden.

Minutes later, Etta’s hands, once relaxed by her sides, slowly tightened into fists, veins straining under the force.

After leaving the bed, Lindsay sat on the couch, facing Etta, who now occupied half of her bed.

The more she stared at Etta, the more displeased she became.

In frustration, Lindsay grabbed a toy and tossed it at Etta’s legs as if it were nothing more than trash.

It was as though a pressure valve had been released.

She gathered a handful of plush toys and threw them at Etta in a fit of fury.

After throwing the entire row of toys at Etta, Lindsay, still seething, reached for a porcelain doll.

Yet, just as her hand rose, she halted it in midair again.

Hale had specifically ordered her to spare Etta’s life.

Lindsay understood Hale had intentionally sent Etta to her home and arranged for them to share a bed, asserting his control in such a manner.

If Lindsay defied Hale and took Etta’s life, Hale wouldn’t even bat an eyelid as he couldn’t care less about Etta’s life.

Yet, Hale might consider dealing with Lindsay since her defiant nature posed risks to the grand schemes.

Having figured this out, Lindsay refrained from harming Etta, settling instead on the edge of the bed, seething with rage.

Suddenly, a dangerous gleam flickered in Lindsay’s half-closed eyes.

Without hesitation, she lunged forward, grabbed Etta by the hair, and spoke in a voice that allowed no protest.
