Chapter 82 Harry Is Lost in Thought

That evening, Catherine and Eleanor headed to Michelle’s place.

At the time, Michelle was enjoying herself in the bath. Music played in the room as she soaked in the tub, sipping red wine and humming a tune. She was completely unaware that two uninvited guests had slipped into her home.

Carrying a bucket of paint each, Catherine and Eleanor crept silently toward the bathroom.

Just as Michelle stepped out of the tub and reached for a towel, she suddenly caught sight of two figures at the doorway. Her heart skipped a beat. “Who’s there?”

Outside the bathroom, Catherine exchanged a glance with Eleanor. Without hesitation, they both

raised their buckets and hurled the paint straight at Michelle.

Fresh out of the bath with nothing on her, Michelle was completely caught off guard as the thick, pungent liquid splashed over her, streaming down her face.

The acrid stench was so overpowering she couldn’t force her eyes open, nor could she dare open her

mouth. She knew if she did, the paint would choke her.

She never saw who the two figures were. All she heard was the clatter of buckets hitting the floor, followed by the sound of retreating footsteps.

Michelle thought she was about to suffocate. Stumbling toward the sink, she tried to wash the paint off, but water alone did nothing. Her whole face ended up smeared even worse.

On the verge of breaking down, she grabbed handfuls of tissues to wipe away the smears, forcing her paint–stung, reddened eyes open at last.

When she stood before the mirror, she realized her entire body was covered in paint, as if she were wearing a red garment. Her mouth, however, was sealed shut.

Michelle struggled back to her room and picked up her phone to send Harry a message for help.

Harry was lost in a daze and ignored the phone, no matter how many times it rang. Empty bottles lay scattered at his feet, and his whole demeanor reeked of defeat.

He couldn’t shake it. The sight of Catherine turning to Jeremy refused to fade from his mind.

He had hoped the alcohol would blur it away, yet every drink only sharpened the edges, searing it deeper into his mind.

Meanwhile, Michelle stared at her phone for a long time. There was still no answer from Harry. Left with no choice, she called building management to get a ride to the hospital.

Having done their dirty work, Catherine and Eleanor immediately got into the car.

Eleanor mused, saying, “Turns out doing bad things is kind of exhilarating.”

Catherine smiled faintly at the thought of Michelle’s fate. “Now she should get a taste of what it’s like to have paint dumped on her.”

Eleanor patted Catherine’s shoulder. “Michelle thought she was so clever. She never expected we’d suspect her. She’s the one who should be dealt with.”

“Next time you’re up to something like this, bring me along. I’ll make sure we deal with Michelle properly,” Eleanor added with a face full of self–satisfaction as she clenched her fist.

Catherine chuckled. “Sure. I’ll take you along for everything from now on.”
