Chapter 1423: Daphne Wells's Smugness

Monica had a vague sense of unease and quickly walked towardsDaphne Wells. She didn't have time to check if Tristan was at the café.A thought popped into her head-Claire's disappearance might berelated to this woman!

Seeing Monica approach, Daphne Wells neither hid nor ran, just coldlyglanced at her. When Monica stopped in front of her, the chillemanating from Daphne Wells became even more intense, as if it camefrom the abyss and carried a foul stench.

"Why are you here?" Monica asked, her voice filled with suspicion asshe stared into Daphne Wells's eyes.

Daphne Wells recognized the voice of the girl next door from last nightand realized that this girl must be staying in the room next to her. Sheliked Rowan, right? But she was staying with another man. DaphneWells's lips curled into a cold smile, not bothering to hide her disdain asshe retorted, "What do you think?" Perhaps this woman had alreadyguessed something, and that's why she was asking.

Monica recalled the scene from the last time they met and the wordsthis woman had said to her; they were full of hostility towards Claire. "IsClaire's disappearance related to you?" Monica asked directly.

Daphne Wells, hands in her pockets, smirked with a hint of smugness,"If I say no, would you believe me?" Her tone was truly infuriating!Monica frowned, of course she didn't believe her! Daphne Wells lookedat her with contempt and disdain, then glanced at the seemingly calmriver. The search and rescue team hadn't reached this area yet, with afew boats anchored not far upstream.

Monica clenched her fists, angrily questioning, "Why did you do this?!"Daphne Wells's lips curled into a smile, and her laughter, both joyfuland smug, rang in Monica's ears, making her feel incredibly irritated!Daphne Wells felt like she had accomplished something great, and noone could share in her joy. Seeing the girl's anger, she suddenly hadthe urge to share her triumph. "Because she stole my man. Is thatreason enough?" Daphne Wells's eyes shifted, her smiling faceinstantly darkened and became fierce, "I wanted her dead, so she hadto die!”

So Claire was dead? Monica's heart sank heavily, and she furiouslyasked, "Where is Claire?! This is a society governed by law! You'regoing to jail! I advise you to stop while you're ahead! Hand her over!"Daphne Wells looked around, seeing no one else, so she let Monicayell and rant, showing no fear at all. At that moment, a light rain beganto fall, sprinkling on their hair, faces, and shoulders.

"Heh, hand her over?" Daphne Wells scoffed, not fearing jail at all,basking in the joy of Claire's disappearance. Was the river water bone-chilling? Did Claire drown or freeze to death? “Let me tell you, Claire isdead.” Daphne Wells looked down, admiring her newly done manicure,and sighed, "These people are really useless. They obviously threwsomeone into the river but couldn't even replace the body.” She chuckledand added, "It's not like it's the ocean.”

Monica's eyes widened in shock, disbelief filling her voice as sheasked, "You pushed her into the river?!"

"Yes," Daphne Wells replied casually, feeling content despite the rain.She leaned on the railing, looking at the search team upstream as ifthey were clowns.

Monica's heart shuddered, and the next second, she hurriedly pulledout her phone to call Tristan. Daphne Wells turned her gaze just in timeto see this, her face changing as she asked, "What are you doing?!"She lunged forward, desperately trying to grab the phone, "You wretch!Give me the phone!"
