Chapter 149

At the Maynard residence, Anthony had been anticipating his subordinates return for the entire night. He wasn’t anxious at first, but his anxiety grew the longer he waited for

them.

However, when no news came back when the clock struck midnight, he finally lost his cool

He called his men right away. “Go find out what’s going on over there! Why haven’t we received any updates? Does it take this long to deal with a high school student?

Before he ended his call, he heard a deafening noise from outside.

“Damn it!” Anthony hung up and went downstairs. “Who the heck is that in the middle of the night?”

Also startled by the noise, Heather followed him downstairs. She was shocked to discover a huge crowd down stairs.

Equally dumbfounded, Anthony realized that they weren’t his men. He was no match if someone were to attack him now.

“Scott!” he thundered. “Take Heather away first”

Before Scott could respond, a crisp voice came from the door.

“No one is leaving tonight” The crowd dispersed, and a petite girl ambled in. She was dressed in a black hoodie and a black cap with the brim pressed low, making it hard for others to discern her features.

Heather’s expression instantly darkened. She wasn’t dead! Having never met Lily, Anthony’s cowled at her for a long time.

“Who are you? Why are you causing a scene at my house?”

He wasn’t a fool, Judging by the drastic difference in numbers now, he couldn’t guarantee their escape. The most he could do was to stall and wait for his men to return.

Lily smirked. “Don’t you know who I am?”

Scrutinizing her face, Anthony said, “Stop beating around the bush. What are you here for?”

“To end your life!” Lily met his eyes, a malicious glint flickering in her eyes.

Anthony’s expression hardened. “Many people have said that, but none have done it. What makes you think you’re capable of that?”

He chanced a glance at the people behind Lily. “They can’t even lay a finger on me.”

“You’re mistaken. I don’t need them to kill you. I can tackle you myself,” Lily said, a smirk playing on her lips.

Anthony roared with laughter. “I’ve never heard such a ridiculous joke. You want to kill me on your own?”

Wary of the people behind her, he figured he might struggle to fend them off. But her alone…Anthony sneered at her brazenness.

Lily shot a glance at him. “I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Lily.”

“What?” Anthony’s expression changed instantly. If Lily was standing before him, that meant all the men he had dispatched were dead

Lily saw through him in a heartbeat. “You’re right. All your men are dead.”

With both her hands in her pockets, she continued nonchalantly, “Everyone related to you in Lagersfield is dead. Only those in this house remain, and I’ve come to deal with you lot personally.”

“Who exactly are you?” Anthony gritted out.
