Chapter 584 Haunted
Harper ran so much that she was sweating when she reached her leader’s side. She swung his hand and cried.
“There’s a ghost down there. I saw a woman’s ghost in the corridor one floor below us. She only had half a face
intact, and her irises were gone. I swear, the bottom half of her face was swaying, and she looked just like the
demon in the movies.”
The leader couldn’t help being stunned after hearing that. “What the hell are you talking about? There’s no such
thing as a ghost. Did you forget to wash your face in the morning? Maybe all the germs have blinded you.”
“I’m not messing with you. I honestly saw it with my own eyes,” insisted Harper. Even thinking about that creepy
face scared her senseless and turned her pale. Her voice was filled with fear when she added, “If you don’t believe
me, you can ask the newbie. She must’ve seen it, too.”
Just then…
Natalie showed up with a bucket and a mop. She shot a look at the terrified Harper and asked, “Harper, what’s
wrong? Why are you sweating so much? Did something happen?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Did you see a ghost when you were one floor below? It only has half a face with the lower half dangling along,”
said Harper. She was staring at Natalie and was practically begging the latter to reaffirm those words.
“I didn’t see anything.”
“How is that even possible?” said Harper. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“I was cleaning the entire time, and I honestly didn’t see anything,” replied Natalie. She shrugged, then raised her
brows before asking, “Were you on that floor earlier? Because I never left the place, yet somehow, I never saw you
there. Are you sure that’s where you were?”
Natalie kept staring at Harper in confusion.
Even their leader was staring curiously.
Natalie’s question knocked Harper off her senses. Could it be… Was I not there at all? Did I go through a portal or
something and accidentally went to hell?
“Oh my gosh, unclean forces lurk in these halls!” shouted Harper endlessly.
“Shut the hell up,” growled the leader, who was affected by Harper’s constant shouts. He angrily ordered, “You are
a cleaner, so if there is anything “unclean” around here, it’s your job to clean it!”
Harper might be terrified, but the leader’s words prompted her to shut right up.
“An important ceremony will take place at nine o’clock. The youngest daughter of the Nichols family will be buried
today, so the two of you are to help the guests. Put the flowers in the right place and put away any other gifts
anyone might have brought. Stay alert. Do not cause any trouble!”
“Understood.”
Natalie and Harper held their cleaning equipment and went to the top floor.
The hall at the end of the Southern corridor was where Melissa’s funeral would be held. Fresh flowers pretty much
filled the entire place.
Melissa’s corpse had already been placed in the crystal coffin, and they had covered up the gunshot wound on her
head. The skilled make-up artists used a lot of make-up, so there was no sign of that wound being there at all. It
looked as though she was sleeping peacefully.
Natalie stared at the woman inside the coffin and thought about how evil that woman looked when she was hurling
threats. The former couldn’t help feeling relieved to see that woman gone.
Harper saw Natalie in a daze, so she urged, “Oy, what are you standing around for?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie shifted her gaze from the crystal coffin and started working on the flowers.
Soon after.
The Nichols family’s friends and associates showed up.
Yara was there before Yvonne and Thomas even arrived.
Natalie and Harper were crouching to pick up some wrapping, so they happened to be in Yara’s way.
“Go away,” growled Yara in distaste.
Natalie stood up and scanned Yara from head to toe.
The latter had put on a black dress and didn’t do anything to her hair. All she had were two hairpins with white
flowers on them.
Her make-up was light, but every stroke and dab was carefully drawn, so she looked as stunning and as natural as a
blooming flower.
Natalie was slightly taken aback when she saw that face. She didn’t think she would bump into Yara just like that.
“What the hell are you looking at? Move aside!” growled Yara as she shot a cruel look at Natalie.
Natalie wasn’t the only one staring at Yara, though. Harper was staring as well.
“T-The top half of your face looks just like the ghost I saw!” said Harper. She recalled the terrifying experience she
had just gone through and shouted aloud. “Ah, a ghost! You’re a ghost. You malicious being. Why are you haunting
me?”
