Whenever a mission was delivered, no matter how farfetched it might be, even if it was to carry out patricide, the Dark Island's assassins would do so in a jiffy.

Therefore, Abel was Katie's most despicable pawn in this life, the tool she used to achieve her goals. Abel was tasked with handling all the dirty work that couldn't see the light of day.

For Katie knew that Abel would never betray her, even if Abel was on the verge of death.

In the flickering light on the wall, a shadow prostrated, his head bowed, consistently pleasing Katie...

Afterward, Katie, her body still tingling from what Abel had done to her, was breathing heavily. She sat up lazily and said, “Next time, don't go as hard to avoid any accident."

She was still a virgin and wanted to remain that way, at least for now. Abel was too rough just now.

Abel was still by her side simply because of how well he had served her all these years. If not, she would have replaced him long ago.

Flushed and sounding weary, Katie inquired, “How is Lauren doing?"

"She's still alive and is being watched. But, from what I've observed, she seems to be ambitionless. In fact, she hardly ever leaves where she is," Abel replied.

Katie shook her head slightly, anger boiling inside of her. Lauren was the exact definition of a useless individual! How could Lauren have broken down just because she encountered this setback?

"Go and knock some senses into that skull of hers," Katie said through gritted teeth.

Her initial plan was to avoid doing anything risky. But, Mitchel's unforgiven words earlier had deeply wounded her. After she informed him of her father's illness, he was unfazed and even spewed more heartless words.

Katie wrongly shifted all the blame on Mitchel's damn ex-wife who should have left this world long ago.

As Katie thought of this, a malicious smile appeared on her face.

She had to finish that woman.

"As you wish," Abel replied as he bowed his head, not daring to meet Katie's gaze.

But, his aroused reaction didn't go unnoticed by Katie. Unable to ignore it, she said with a slight frown on her face, “Handle it yourself."

Abel nodded, turned around, and headed out.

In the shed.

Just as Abel approached it, he heard some suggestive sounds.
