I’m Someone Else

Chapter 272

Chapter 272

“Get your *ss over here!” Jake roared at his trusted subordinate.

“Mr. Hind, what’s the matter?”

Jake’s face turned livid with rage. “Tell me, did you deliver the letter to Thomas as I instructed you?”

It’s almost 1.00AM. If the letter is delivered, why hasn’t Thomas arrived yet?

His subordinate nodded quickly. “Rest assured, Mr. Hind, that I’ve delivered the letter. It’s placed on the coffee table in his villa’s living room. I always pay great attention to the tasks you assign to me!”

He was also anxious. Thomas, oh Thomas, please come quickly. If you don’t arrive soon, I won’t be able to explain the situation. And if he gets angry, there’s a possibility he might even kill me!

At the same time, he also felt a sense of injustice. He had instructed his henchmen to deliver the letter. To ensure nothing went wrong, he had personally accompanied them. As for why Thomas had not shown up yet, he was clueless about the reason as well.

“F*ck!” Jake seethed with anger but had nowhere to channel his frustration. He raised his hand and landed a resounding slap on his subordinate’s face. “If the letter has been delivered, where the hell is he?”

The subordinate covered his burning cheek with his hand. “I-I don’t know. The letter was delivered. Maybe… There’s heavy traffic on the way?”

“Get lost!”

Driven nearly to madness by his subordinate’s words, Jake raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to the subordinate’s stomach, sending him crashing to the ground. It’s 1.00AM. How can there be heavy traffic? Is there a hearse causing the traffic jam?

“Go now! Go and inform Thomas on my behalf!”

“Okay, alright. I’m going!” The subordinate quickly got up and hurried toward Northpine Villa, ignoring the pain in his body.

He felt unjustly treated. As he was not even related to Thomas or acquainted with him, how could he possibly know why Thomas had not arrived? He felt aggrieved to receive a slap and a kick for something beyond his control. Especially that slap, which had loosened his back teeth. Was this not an unexpected disaster that had befallen him out of nowhere?

Thomas had undoubtedly received the letter, yet he had no intention of honoring the appointment! After bringing Olivia back to Northpine Villa in the evening, he had remained there all this time. Since the other party had approached him and requested his presence at Green Lake Manor, it implied that Chloe’s mother’s ashes were there. With this knowledge, he became less anxious.

As the King of Marksmen, would he simply go because they told him to? Ridiculous! He always preferred to be in control, and he could not allow a bunch of insignificant individuals to dictate his actions.

Thomas was well aware that Green Lake Manor had likely set up a trap at this moment, eagerly awaiting his arrival. However, his decision not to attend the appointment was not driven by fear but rather by the fact that his body had not fully recovered.

Throughout the day, he had been tirelessly absorbing the effects of the medicine at Northpine Villa. However, fate seemed to be against him. His current physical condition had only recovered to about ninety percent.

The process was fraught with dangers, and he could hardly withstand the injuries at one point. Fortunately, his exceptional willpower and extraordinary medical skills allowed him to endure. With the aid of acupuncture stimulation, he managed to push through.

Olivia smiled at him. “I’m going to bed now. You should get some rest too.”

“Okay!” Thomas nodded and watched as she went upstairs. “Alas! I fell a little short in the end!” he muttered unwillingly. He had anticipated his physical condition to reach its peak, but to his surprise, it had not met his expectations.

In the afternoon, he visited Rose and acquired another prescription. However, when he tried to absorb the medicinal effects, he failed, well aware that his body had developed resistance to the medicine. No matter how much medication he consumed, it would be futile and potentially harmful to him.

He pressed his temples with both hands, hoping to come up with a prescription that would facilitate his speedy recovery. Still, it was far from easy. While there was indeed another prescription that could aid in his recovery, it was a slow process. He could not afford to wait or waste any more time.

Thomas was conscious he could not postpone his visit to Green Lake Manor. A one-day delay could be tolerated, but if it continued further and he refused to take the bait, there was a risk that the other party would become desperate and destroy the ashes.

“Alas!” He sighed and got up, making his way upstairs. Since he could not come up with a suitable prescription, he decided to rest early. If things did not go as planned, he would have to rely on his expertise—firearms!

Unless necessary, he preferred not to resort to firearms as it would potentially invite various troubles. Unable to fall asleep, he tossed and turned in bed.

Bang!

Thomas suddenly leaped up and started practicing leg techniques in the bedroom. Since his body could not fully recover to its peak state, he decided to practice more and try to compensate for the

weakness in his lower body.

Crack!

Just as he was deeply engrossed in his training, he suddenly heard glass shattering from outside. Startled, he did not hesitate and rushed out of the room, bursting into Olivia’s bedroom.

It was not his fault for reacting so intensely. With numerous past incidents of people trying to harm her, he developed psychological trauma. At the slightest abnormal noise, his immediate thought was that someone had broken into the villa with malicious intent toward her.

Meanwhile, Olivia had not gone to sleep either. She had just finished taking a refreshing shower. Upon hearing the peculiar noise, she hastily dashed out of the bathroom to investigate, not even having a moment to dress herself. Much to her surprise, the bedroom door swung open the next instant. Before she could react, the room was abruptly illuminated.

“Ah!” she screamed and instinctively covered her intimate area, but how could a pair of small hands shield the entirety of her body’s curves?

Now, this was an awkward situation. Thomas was momentarily stunned by the captivating sight before his eyes, but he soon snapped out of it. Turning around, he exited the room and closed the bedroom door. Judging from the situation, it seems that Olivia hasn’t encountered any danger. He decided to go and investigate the source of the sound.

Olivia stood in the room, her face already flushed. “Oh dear, what’s going on? He saw me naked again! Never mind. It’s not the first time he’s seen it. I’m used to it!” With that, she changed into clean sleepwear, planning to go out and investigate what had happened.

Thomas arrived at the ground-floor living room and switched on the lights. To his surprise, he noticed that the window had been shattered, and the floor was scattered with glass shards. Amongst the

debris, he spotted a pale-yellow letter lying on the ground.

He opened the front door to the villa and scanned the surroundings, but there was no one in sight. He understood that if his initial instinct had been to dash out and apprehend the individual, he might have been able to catch them. However, he could not afford to take that risk. Olivia’s safety took precedence over capturing the letter’s sender.

Returning to the living room, he bent down to retrieve the letter from the floor. He unsealed the letter and started reading its contents. As expected, the contents were the same as the previous one he had received.
