Chapter 185

It felt like Kayla's gaze could kill...

Olivia's heart skipped a beat. Although she knew Kayla was sweet on the outside but ruthless on the inside, she was still frightened by the viciousness in Kayla's eyes.

Could she really be serious about killing someone?

Olivia kept her distance, realizing that her previous words may have been too much. Although Arnold had stopped her, he never actually said anything about not letting anyone lay a finger on Felicia. She had exaggerated to provoke Kayla.

She swallowed nervously and decided to try to smooth things over, saying, "Kayla, don't be too upset. Anyway, Mr. Lawson still cares about you. You two are childhood sweethearts, destined to be together. How could Felicia, who's only known him briefly, compete with you?

But she didn't know that these words had different meanings for Kayla.

Felicia had only appeared recently, yet she had made Arnold obsessed with her. Matthew's strong stance that Felicia must marry Arlond made it clear that his heart was wavering.

Sooner or later, he would fall for her. When that time came, Kayla would be the laughingstock of the whole city!

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the murderous rage inside her. She had to be thankful for one thing-Matthew's insistence that Arnold marry Felicia. His stubborn nature meant the more he was forced, the more he would resist.

No one understood him better than she did. His personality was complicated-even if he had feelings for Felicia, he would never admit it.

Kayla kept reassuring herself. When she looked up, she noticed Olivia had moved a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from her. Her face still held a look of shock and fear.

Kayla's expression returned to normal, her smile sweet as ever. "Oh, Olivia, why are you so far away? Come on, let's head back and rest."

"You... You..." Olivia marveled at how quickly Kayla's mood had shifted. She decided to stay farther away from Kayla in the future, but still, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "Would you really hurt Felicia?"

"Pfft!" Kayla laughed lightly, teasing, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, Felicia is my sister. As long as she's okay, it's no concern."

Olivia shuddered, clearly unconvinced, but all she could say was, "I suppose you're right. Let's go back then."

Kayla wanted to say, "What nonsense are you talking, fool? Even if I were to make a move, would I be stupid enough to tell you so that you can use it against me?"

None of them noticed that a tall figure slipped away from a dark corner after they walked away, arm in arm.

The next few days passed in rare peace.

The village was busy with Macey's funeral. At the same time, Andrew continued to lead the students back and forth to the village, helping impoverished families repair their houses, cleaning for the elderly, teaching children, and distributing donated supplies like books and stationery.

Once the funeral arrangements were over and Felicia had recovered, she returned to the training camp.

In the calm that followed, one incident occurred.

That was when Shawn, who had been sent to the hospital, escaped.

Charles had arranged for two villagers to watch Shawn, fearing something like this would happen. Initially, Shawn, who had been rescued, seemed to behave himself. However, after two or three days, he claimed he needed to use the restroom during a routine check-up and disappeared.

The news enraged Charles, who stomped his feet in frustration. He immediately informed Felicia. She wasn't surprised at all.
