Chapter 430: Blood.... a person as pale as paper....
Arlo Seys’ fingertips trembled for a moment, knowing that Ariel Morris had definitely come back to question the Morris Family, and after several hours, she had vanished without a trace. There was only one possibility...A cold light in Arlo Seys’ eyes bloomed to the extreme. Holding a fruit knife, he slashed it towards Howard Saxton’s neck, his tone ruthless and heartless, "Then you go to hell! If you don’t tell me where Ariel is, all of you will be buried with her!!"
Scarlett Morris and Susan Saxton, sitting on the sofa, trembled violently, their faces pale as snow, eyes filled with horror as they watched the furious Arlo Seys.
Just as Arlo Seys’ knife was about to cut down, Kylie Morris couldn’t hold back any longer and blurted out with a trembling voice, "I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! Don’t hurt Howard... Ariel Morris, she’s... in the room on the second floor..."
"Mom!!" Susan Saxton’s body shook as she shouted hoarsely.
Her mother had revealed Ariel’s location. If Arlo Seys found out the truth, that she had pushed Ariel down the stairs, he would surely kill her with the knife!
Just as Kylie Morris finished speaking, Arlo Seys’ knife grazed Howard’s neck, his gaze icy.
Blood dripped, drop by drop, as Howard was terrified and hurriedly covered his neck, moved away from Arlo Seys, maintaining a safe distance.
Arlo Seys stepped forward, grabbed Howard, and dragged him towards the second floor.
Kylie Morris, fearing that Arlo Seys would harm Howard, immediately followed, shouting from behind, "Arlo Seys, let Howard go! I’ve already told you Ariel’s whereabouts! Let him go!"
"Stand still! Take one more step, and don’t blame me if the knife stabs Howard without mercy!" Arlo Seys coldly replied without turning his head.
Kylie Morris and Damien Morris halted their steps at the staircase, recalling Arlo Seys’ ruthless and relentless nature, fearing that his knife might truly stab Howard!
Arlo Seys dragged Howard to the second floor, pointing the knife at his neck, with a cold tone: "Which room is Ariel in?!"
Howard pointed to the room on the left, and Arlo Seys coldly pushed the door open, shoving Howard inside first.
Once Howard was inside, Arlo Seys followed. He surveyed the room but didn’t see Ariel Morris’ figure. Holding the knife, he pressed on Howard aggressively, his gaze cold, "You dare to fool me?! Where is Ariel?!"
Howard, intimidated by the knife in Arlo Seys’ hand, quickly pointed to the bathroom and blurted out hastily, "I’m not lying! Ariel Morris is in the bathtub in the bathroom!!"
Arlo Seys’ eyes narrowed at Howard, "If you dare lie, I’ll stab you dead right now!" With that, he pressed the knife against Howard’s waist, "Open the bathroom door!"
This despicable brute with his vicious tactics! One must be wary, cautiously taking each step.
Howard’s hand, somewhat stiff, slowly opened the bathroom door, but his eyes were darting around, avoiding direct gaze.
He contemplated his situation, fearing that Arlo Seys would lose his mind out of fury upon seeing Ariel inside and stab him with the knife! He had to find the right moment to escape!
The door slowly opened, and Arlo Seys’ eyes remained fixed on the gradually opening bathroom door.
Bloodless, as pale as paper, the entire scene imprinted in his eyes in an instant.
Arlo Seys’ body shuddered violently, and the fruit knife in his hand clattered to the ground. In his eyes was the blood-red bathtub and the ghostly pale, tightly closed eyes of Ariel Morris....
Trembling, Arlo Seys quickly moved over and scooped up Ariel Morris’ body from the bathtub. Upon touching Ariel’s body with his hands, he felt just how cold her body was....
