Chapter 371
Rose only glanced at these snakes, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. She immediately looked away in disgust. Thinking of the use of these snakes later, a creepy smile appeared on her face. "What are you waiting for?" She said impatiently.
"Yes, Miss."
The waiter with a bag of snakes immediately climbed up the ladder to the second floor and peeked out of the window. He saw a female shadowy figure inside the room.
He immediately picked up the bag, aiming at the window, and poured all the snakes into the room one by one.
These snakes landed one after another, then separated quickly and crawled across the darker corners of the room.
After completing the task, the waiter quietly closed the window and locked the bolt outside the window. Relieved, he quickly climbed down the ladder.
"Miss, everything is done according to your instructions.”
Rose's lips curled happily and looked at the locked window on the second floor. She slowly left with the sinister smile in her eyes.
And in the dressing room at this time.
The dressing room was very large, and all kinds of beautiful and exquisite dresses were neatly hung on rows of shelves. She randomly picked out a simple and elegant dress to change into, and heard some strange noise.
Although it was very low, she still heard it. Her bright eyes looked around in confusion. Suddenly, a long, thin shadow appeared on the ground and made her face pale.
This was... a snake?
Nora had no idea why there were snakes in the room. Her heart thumped, and she was very scared. Although the snake was not big, it still made her feel numb, as if all the blood in her body had solidified. Her face was pale, and she tried to calm down her uncontrollable heartbeat. She stiffened and moved towards the door slowly.
At this moment, the snake's tongue flicked out on the ground. She was so frightened that she almost screamed and dared not move any further when she saw the snake moving.
"What should I do? What should I do now?" She screamed in her heart.
She did not dare to move or scream, for fear of alerting the snake.
Suddenly, she felt a cold touch on her toes, and she looked down subconsciously.
There was another black snake crawling over her open-toe high heels, its dark body with the tip of its tail resting on her toes.
Suddenly, with a bang, Nora felt something in her brain explode in an instant, and she collapsed. She could no longer restrain her fear and screamed loudly.
"Ah..."
The piercing shriek was heard through the walls of the second floor and reached the banquet, but in the end, the sound of dance music made few people could hear her.
But coincidentally, Derek, who had not appeared in public since entering the banquet, was at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the manor in the other direction.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he heard this scream of terror. Although he did not know where it came from, he was sure he did not hear it wrong.
More importantly, he felt that it was Nora. The thought made his heart sink and his face darkened, so he quickly moving towards the source of the voice.
Nora's screams rang out one after another, making Derek more sure that it was her. At the same time, he quickly arrived outside the dressing room.
"Nora, are you in there?"
He slapped the door, then took a step back and kicked it violently. With a bang, the locked door was thrown open and he rushed in.
Derek saw Nora in the corner and... snakes all over the floor.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and the momentum of his body suddenly sent out waves of cold. His dark and deep eyes faintly flashed across a blood-red light.
He never expected that Nora would suffer this after he had only been away for a while.
Derek had no time to think about what was going on here. Ignoring the snakes on the ground, he strode towards Nora in the corner.
He could easily tell that these snakes were harmless.
"Nora, don't be afraid. I'm coming.”
At this moment, Nora was extremely frightened. Her pale face was covered with sweat stains. There were no lights in her wide-open eyes, but only endless fear, and she couldn't focus.
Derek suppressed his desire to kill people, held Nora in his arms, ignoring her screams and struggles, gently stroking her back in a gentle tone, and patiently coaxed her over and over again. "It's okay. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
After he kept appeasing her, the focus in Nora's eyes gradually returned, and the familiar smell eased her frightened brain
Nora leaned into his arms and could still see the snakes crawling on the ground. They moved slowly and leisurely. Although they did not attack people, they still scared her.
Sensing her stiff body, Derek raised her face and gently imprinted soothing kisses on her brows, "Sorry I'm late."
It had to be said that this gentle comforting was very effective. Nora took a deep breath. Although she was still afraid and her voice was trembling, she was much better than before.
"A, a lot of snakes. I'm scared.”
Her lips trembled, and tears rolled down uncontrollably, making Derek feel terrible.
"It's okay. I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Derek said and picked her up, "Don’t think anything now. Close your eyes and sleep. Let's go back.” As he spoke, he stuffed the earphones into her ears, and the soothing and soft music blocked out all the noise from the outside world.
Nora did not refuse. She rarely learned in his arms very meekly. It was unrealistic for her to walk by herself now. Her legs were too weak to stand.
After all, almost every woman was afraid of creatures like snakes.
Besides, Nora was surrounded by dozens of snakes, watching them climb up and down in front of her, even on her toe.
If it was a woman with weak willpower, it was possible to be scared out of her wits.
Nora suffered a lot tonight.
She was really exhausted and didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted to get away from this place quickly.
At this time, a few more people rushed into the room, led by Damian, who had been waiting outside the villa. When Derek broke into the room, he sent a message to his assistant asking him to bring someone over.
"Boss."
Damian came with a few of his men, and he noticed the snakes on the floor at once. His face changed suddenly, and he looked at Nora in his boss's arms. In an instant, he almost guessed what had happened.
Derek's hands were very gentle, but his expression told the opposite. He looked at the snakes coldly, and there was an unmistakable murderous look in his eyes.
