At that moment, Irene noticed a flash of smelly gas. The ground was covered in blood. The person in charge dared not handle such a big matter.

“How many people know about this?” Irene said with a cold face.

The person in charge said immediately, “Ms. Wade, I closed the door of the factory the moment it happened. Few people saw it.”

Irene nodded. “Inform their family members of their deaths and pay them more pensions. You must remember to keep the others who saw it quiet. We can’t let it be exposed. Also, don’t let any accidents happen again.”

The person in charge looked at the corpses of those people and swallowed his saliva. In the end, he

nodded.

On the way back, Irene remained horrified and warned her assistant, “You must calm down the victims‘ family members. Don’t let them call the police. If they are unwilling…‘

“I understand,” the assistant said in a deep voice.

Irene nodded in satisfaction. Marysville’s factory was located in a very secluded place. Apart from a few dilapidated villages, there were no other buildings.

Irene looked at the scenery outside the window. Irene’s mind was occupied with Ainsley’s

questioning gaze.

Irene thought, how dare that bitch question me?

However, what worries me the most is Manuel’s reaction. This man is really prudent.

First, he accepted the interview and easily removed the slander on Ainsley. Then, when Ainsley

came to question me, he stopped Ainsley.

“Ms. Wade, someone has investigated that matter.”

“Who?” Irene’s gaze became sharp.

“We haven’t tracked him down yet.”

“You good–for–nothing! Don’t let anyone find out about that thing!” Irene said coldly.

The assistant hurriedly nodded.

The sky was gloomy. The wind blew at Irene’s hair. It was already past 11 p.m. Under normal

circumstances, Irene would not have chosen to go out at such a late hour, but something big had

happened today.

There were no other cars on the road. Only their car was driving on the wide road. “Who is it?” said the

driver suddenly.

“What is it?” Irene looked at him with dissatisfaction.

“Ms. Wade, there seemed to be someone outside the car window just now.”

Irene followed his gaze and looked out. The road was empty, and there was not even a cat.

“Maybe I was mistaken.” The driver wiped his eyes.

Irene’s expression turned cold. She looked out the window. When the car drove past a street light, a

white figure appeared not far from the street light.

Irene trembled and swallowed.

When Irene saw the white figure for the third time, she shouted anxiously, “Stop the car!”

Then, Irene got out of the car and wanted to get closer to see what it was, but it disappeared again.

“I want to see who is playing tricks on me!”

The driver was so scared that his hands were trembling. The speed of driving was twice as fast as

before. Normally, it would take an hour to drive home. This time, it was only forty minutes.

When Irene got home, Brady saw her flustered look and wanted to scold her. Yet, Irene went straight

back to her room and closed the door in a hurry.

Clara held a plate of soup. “Mr. Wade, Ms. Wade hasn’t had dinner yet. I’ll bring the soup to her and let

her have a good rest after drinking it.”

“OK.” Brady looked in the direction of the stairs in confusion.

At midnight, the sky was dark, and the moon was high in the sky, but it was blocked by a thick fog.

It was very cold tonight, and there was a cold current in the air.

The Wade family was silent. However, after a while, everyone was awakened by the screams. They were

the shrill cries of Irene.

Irene curled up in pain. Brady quickly entered her room. Yet, he did not know what had happened.

Clara followed closely behind. Clara had been taking care of Irene since Irene was young. So, Clara was

intimate with Irene.

“What happened to you, Ms. Wade? Did you have a nightmare?” Clara asked worriedly.

Irene looked very frightened. Brady furrowed his brows.

Seeing Brady, Irene finally recovered herself. She thought, I absolutely cannot let Grandfather

know about this.

“Grandfather, I’m fine. I just had a nightmare.” Irene wiped the sweat on her forehead.

Brady looked at her suspiciously, but he did not say anything.

However, to Irene’s surprise, what happened next became weirder and weirder.

That night, everyone was sleeping soundly.

Irene was sleeping soundly. She slept near the window and turned over. A faint knocking sound was

heard.

Irene frowned slightly when she was half–asleep. Although she was already sleeping soundly, she was still woken up by the sound.

When Irene opened her eyes, a strange scene happened. A figure floated around. Irene instantly got goosebumps and opened her eyes wide. Irene was very familiar with the clothes. They were the clothes that Nancy wore before she died.

“Ah! Clara!” Irene woke Clara up immediately.

Ever since the last nightmare, Irene had asked Clara to sleep in the same room. Clara slept on a simple mattress beside the bed.

Irene was so scared that tears were flowing out of her eyes. Clara quickly comforted Irene, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. What did you see?”

“I saw it! I saw Nancy Conway!” Irene burst into tears.

When Clara heard the name Irene mentioned, Clara was also shocked. Clara recovered herself. “Who are you talking about?”

“It’s Nancy Conway.” Irene held the quilt tightly and trembled. “It’s her. She came to kill me.”

“Ms. Wade, don’t be afraid. There’s nothing. I’m right here,” said Clara as she held Irene.

“Clara, I really saw it just now!” Irene was very afraid.

“I know. I will stay with you. Don’t be afraid.” Clara sat beside the bed.

Irene lay down and looked out of the window in fear. She tossed and turned for an entire hour before she fell asleep.

Dong! Dong! The sounds rang out again. Irene was woken up again. The windows in Irene’s room were covered by thick curtains. After hearing the faint sound, Irene pulled open the curtains. The moment she opened the curtains, she saw a shocking scene.

This scene almost made Irene black out.

A figure floated around and jumped high. Irene was so scared that Irene immediately woke Clara up. “Clara! Look!”

Yet, the figure only appeared for a moment and disappeared soon. But Irene did see it clearly.

After Clara was woken up by Irene, Clara thought that Irene had a nightmare. “Ms. Wade, there is

nothing!”

Clara looked out of the window nervously. She quickly drew the heavy curtains and turned on a warm light. “Don’t turn off the light. Just sleep. I will stay here to watch you. If there is anything, I

will block it.”

That night, thanks to Clara, Irene continued to sleep.

After waking up in the day, Irene went to work listlessly. She did not sleep well for three

consecutive days. She was already tired. After finishing dinner after work, Irene quickly went back to her room to prepare to sleep.
