But for a primary infection—injecting the blood directly into Caitlin's body—not even a miracle from God could cure her.
She wanted to see if Gordon would still want Caitlin if she had incurable AIDS.
A sinister glint appeared in Sophie's eyes. She snatched the syringe from the floor and lunged toward Caitlin.
A cold light flashed in Caitlin's eyes as she executed a perfect roundhouse kick.
Gordon moved at the same instant.
They acted in perfect sync.
THUD!
Sophie was not only kicked to the ground, but the sharp needle plunged into her own chest. The entire contents of the syringe were injected into her body.
Sophie never saw it coming.
No. She couldn't get AIDS. Her wonderful life hadn't even begun yet! If she had AIDS, how could she go on living?
With all her strength, Sophie managed to pull the syringe from her chest. Seeing that it was empty, her eyes widened in horror, and she let out a piercing scream. "AHHH!"
It was over. Everything was over.
Watching Sophie become a victim of her own trap, Wilfred was terrified. He crawled over to Gordon, grabbing his pant leg and sobbing, "Master Ninth, I was wrong! I deserve to die! I shouldn't have messed with Mr. Kensington! I'm a bastard! A complete bastard! Please, have mercy, spare me!"
As he spoke, Wilfred began slapping himself across the face, hard.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
In moments, his face was red and swollen.
Gordon planted a foot on his back. With just a slight application of pressure, the sound of cracking bone filled the air. "Who gave you the nerve to touch Mr. Kensington?"
"It was Mayo! Mayo from The Lowell Group made me do it! Master Ninth, it has nothing to do with me, I was just following orders…"
"Mayo?" Gordon's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
Very well. The Lowell Group could disappear now.
Wee-woo, wee-woo—
The sirens of police cars and an ambulance wailed as they arrived on the scene.
Fortune was carefully loaded onto a stretcher and taken away.
Wilfred and Sophie were handcuffed and escorted by police to the ambulance.
--
At The Lowell Group headquarters.
Mayo was in the middle of a board meeting when the conference room doors were suddenly kicked open.
