Chapter 140 - Who is She?

Mary said, “Actually, I don’t want to talk about it at all. Hugh said he wanted me to provide him with some writing material and inspiration.”

Mary’s meaning was very clear. She didn’t want to.

Moreover, Mary felt that her second brother, who always looked genial and funny, the star, Nelson, her idol, seemed to be constantly testing her.

Nielsen continued to ask with a smile, “Then who are you? I definitely don’t believe that you’re just an ordinary girl! After all, no ordinary girl can kill an assassin with dual blades!”

Mary really wanted to tell him that this was her first time using dual blades, although they were indeed quite handy when she used them.

Mary smiled. “Nelson, everyone has their own secrets. Can you respect my privacy?”

Nelson wanted to dig deeper, but Jayce patted him on the shoulder. “Alright, she doesn’t want to talk about it. You won’t get anything out of her.”

Nelson maintained his gentle demeanor and shut up with a smile.

However, that smile looked a little twitchy.

Mary pretended not to see Jayce’ gaze and continued drinking her iced coffee.

Jayce suddenly asked her, “The publisher, the boss who bullied you, John, why did you always tolerate his s*xual harassment?”

Hugh jumped up. “What? Which bastard s*xually harassed you?! Did you beat him up!?”

Nelson thought Hugh would have a high IQ since he could write novels. So how did he become so stupid when he encountered Mary’s problems?

“Do you think she would allow anyone to harass her if she didn’t want them to?”

Mary said nothing. The way Nelson said it sounded as if she liked being s*xually harassed.

Mary explained, “Everything I put up with was for the sake of living! The publishing house is my job, of course I have to put up with a bad boss. However, if Jayce didn’t come that day, I actually intended to teach him a lesson. If you don’t believe me, you can ask John. Ask him if he would still dare bully me.”

When Jayce appeared, Mary’s scissors had already poked John’s shriveled up penis, which had scared the old man quite a bit!

Hugh had no doubt in Mary’s answer. After all, this girl was too poor! It was not impossible for her to endure humiliation for work!

Nelson reluctantly accepted her answer.

He asked, “Is it because you were bullied at your aunt’s house that you wanted to learn fighting techniques?”

Mary hesitated and nodded, then shook her head.

“No, they are not that important. I went to learn them because I like them. Also, I have talent!”

Yes, Mary was proud of herself. She could achieve what she had today in a year. She must be very talented!

Mary was too tight-lipped. The three of them chatted with her for a long time but could not get any useful information.

When it came to her ability to kill, she said it was private and secret.

Jayce was getting more and more curious about Mary. Hugh was looking forward to living with his sister.

There was one thing in Nelson’s mind. He had to personally investigate Mary’s information.

So, for now, he thought that Mary was as ordinary as she appeared to be.

The emotions in his heart were very complicated!

He thought that she was just a straight-A student. Other than her good looks, she had no other advantages!

But now, he could not find any information about her abilities!

Unless it was the work of an expert, there was no personal information that he, Jayce, couldn’t find!

So… who was she?

Exactly what secret was she hiding?

Furthermore, Monroe’s attitude towards her had changed drastically. Was it because they had escaped from a difficult situation together, or did he know her secret?

Jayce felt that he could no longer see the girl in front of him clearly.

The conversation died down and Mary was in a hurry to escape.

“I’m going to look for Monroe.”

She stood up and tied up her now dry hair. She was about to walk out.

Hugh immediately stood up as well. Jayce and Nelson also stood up slowly.

“What a coincidence. We’re going to look for Monroe too.”

Mary felt like her head was going to explode!

Were the three of them her followers now?!
