“Alright. Take care,” Yulia reminded her.
Natalie smiled and walked to the elevator with her wallet. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
At the elevator, she pressed the open door button.
The elevator arrived very quickly. Just as she was about to step in, Yulia suddenly ran up to her. “Wait a minute.”
“What’s going on?” Natalie stepped back and turned towards her.
Yulia handed her a sheet of notepaper. “Help me buy these things on your way back.”
“Let me take a look.” Natalie took a look at the note and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be on my way now.”
With that, she stepped out again.
However, just as she stepped into the elevator, it suddenly shook violently.
“Nat!” Yulia’s pupils constricted and she subconsciously pulled Natalie back.
When she pulled her to the corridor, the elevator shaft hurled downwards uncontrollably while the door remained open.
Natalie and Yulia stared at the elevator with their eyes wide open as it hurtled to the ground floor with a deafening crash.
That crash made tremors run through their bodies and rendered their faces pale.
“Mom…” Natalie hugged Yulia tight and her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Yulia was in no good shape herself, but she still patted Natalie’s back to comfort her, “It’s alright, Baby Girl, we’re fine…”
Natalie stared listlessly at the doors which were still open, and that cable connecting the shaft. Her limbs turned icy cold. “Mom, this was definitely not an accident!”
If not for her mother suddenly calling out for her to buy other things, she could have been squashed flat right now.
“I know, this is definitely not an accident. Someone is out to get you!” Yulia’s eyes reddened as she clenched her teeth.
The elevator was completely fine last night, so how could it be malfunctioning this early in the morning? And to this extent? Clearly, this was not possible.
“Call the police!” Yulia released Natalie and immediately called the police.
Very soon, the police officers arrived. They were familiar faces as they were the same officers from last night.
“The assessment results are out. The elevator has definitely been meddled with.” The assessment department told Natalie and Yulia.
Natalie sat on the sofa with a mug of hot water in her hands.
No matter how scalding hot the water was, it could not warm her icy cold palms at all.
She could not calm down at the thought that she had nearly lost her life again.
Yulia stood behind Natalie and placed her hands on her shoulders. “Who is this evil person who is striking my daughter twice in a row?”
The few police officers exchanged glances and it was the assessment officers who spoke first. “Ms. Smith, you should have a suspect in mind, right?”
“What do you mean?” Yulia frowned.
He stared at Natalie and said, “Just now, there was some writing at the top of the elevator shaft, and it said…”
He looked like he had difficulty saying it out loud.
In the end, he showed the picture to Natalie. “Ms. Smith, you can have a look at it yourself.”
Natalie put down her mug and took a look at the picture. On the shaft, it was written, B*tch, snatch my man? Die! She crumpled up the picture.
Yulia saw it too and was about to burst. Natalie put down the picture and said, “Mom, pass me your cell phone.”
“Alright.” Yulia suppressed her anger and handed out her cell phone.
Natalie took a deep breath and dialed Jasmine’s number.
Jasmine’s voice piped up quickly. “Oh wow, what a rarity! You are actually calling me?”
“Was it you?” Natalie gripped the phone and asked.
Jasmine looked utterly confused. “What are you talking about? What about me?”
“Last night’s and today’s attempts to kill me. Did you do it?” Natalie stood up.
Jasmine was taken aback before laughing out loud, “Oh, I see. Finally, there is someone else out there who hates you enough to want you dead.”
“What do you mean? Did you do it?” Natalie narrowed her eyes.
