Chapter 1353
'Five million dollars?' Walter's expression twisted in anger. He raised his hand and slapped Hylda across the face,
sending her sprawling to the ground. The force of the blow left her with a swollen bump on her forehead.
Her vision became blurry. The next thing she knew, Walter was yanking her up off the floor by her hair. "You
bastard! Is there a shred of truth in anything you say? You even deceived Albert. How am I supposed to believe
you?"
Hylda cried out in agony. She gripped Walter's hand and begged, "Walter, Walter! I swear I had nothing to do with it.
We can go to the bank and check the withdrawal records. I had no idea your money was stolen. I- Ah-"
Before she could complete her sentence, Walter slapped her once more. "You despicable bitch. You've manipulated
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteveryone, and now you expect me to believe you?"
Hylda clutched her throbbing face and sobbed, "No. I—"
Walter had no patience for her protests. He tossed her phone back to her and, with a cold expression, he ordered,"
Transfer the five million to my account right now. Don't you dare try anything else, or I swear I'll end you!"
He then thrust the knife into the couch, making Hylda tremble in fear.
Hylda did not have five million dollars. Even if she did, transferring such an amount would leave her with nothing.
Moreover, Walter knew too many of her secrets and could easily use them as leverage whenever he needed more
money. 'Over the years, he had continuously treated me like an ATM. I would never find peace unless he is dealt
with.'
Determined, Hylda began to think calmly. "What's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you," she
sobbed.
Walter let his guard down when he saw that she had given up resisting. He placed the knife on the coffee table and
pulled out his wallet.
'Now's my chance,' thought Hylda. As Walter was looking for his card, she suddenly grabbed the knife and stabbed
him.
Walter tried to snatch the knife away, but it was already too late.
Hylda cut through his hand with immense strength, piercing the blade directly into his chest.
Walter's face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. "You wretched-" He tried to reach for Hylda’s
neck, but she withdrew the knife and stabbed him again. This time, it went straight into his heart.
Walter convulsed and collapsed on the floor. His eyes stared blankly ahead.
Although Hylda’s hand was trembling, her mind was surprisingly clear. She pulled out the weapon, wrapped it in a
plastic bag, and began to clean the scene.

At the same time, a pair of unflinching eyes had observed everything.
Meanwhile, Felicity was feeding her cat in apartment 902 of Clouditude International. The kitten had grown a lot in
the two weeks since she brought it home. It had noticeably increased in size and alternated between playing,
eating, and napping. It was living the life.
"That stinky cucumber has been coming home really late these days, huh, Sewyn?" Felicity gently stroked the
kitten's head and said softly. It was as if she was talking to herself rather than the cat.
After returning from Onsen Villa, Vermont had become increasingly distant. He no longer initiated video game
sessions with Felicity or playfully requested that she replicate dishes from certain online influencers. Felicity hardly
ever saw him at night, and she only crossed paths with him once when he got up to drink some water in the
morning. They exchanged a brief greeting, and Vermont returned to his room.
She did not run into him anymore after that. At times, Felicity would notice that his shoes were still on the shoe rack
and assume that he was still asleep.
