Chapter 219 It's the Same as Her Previous Life


The recording of the program suddenly ended early.


The whole school was suddenly lit up.


Not long after, a staff member with props and equipment walked into the guests' dorms and politely said to everyone, "Thank you."


Everyone thanked each other at once.


Rita took off the wireless headset from her ear and ran over to Justin and the others. Then, she complained, "I'm suffocating. I can't talk all the time. I'm going to lose my voice!"


At that moment, Sarina also came over. She said in the grievance, "Even though you played the ghost, the other ghosts were really scary when they didn't take off their makeup! I was in the middle of them. And I wanted to scream but couldn't. It scares me to death!"


Moses laughed and said, "But it's a new experience for you."


Sarina had feelings for Moses. As soon as he saw Moses smiling at her, she got shy. Then, she blushed and said, "That's right."


At that moment, Justin said, "It's so messy here. The staff is going to start cleaning up here. Let's go out first. Eb... Where's Miss Gibson? Where did she go again?"


Rita looked around and didn't see Ebony. At the same time, several of the staff playing ghosts were also missing.


Sarina said, "She seems to have gone out first."


As soon as everyone came out of the dorm room, they saw Ebony outside.


Ebony was making a video call to the assistant director on the tablet the crew had given her. "They acted out these scenes. You were supposed to give these actors bonuses. Why don't you pay them? According to the rules, actors who have played ghosts are supposed to get bonuses. You are also supposed to pay them. It's all the money they deserve!"


Rita felt particularly moved as she listened to what Ebony said from a distance.


She told the person next to her, "Although Ebony has a sharp tongue and is often angry and aggressive, she really has a sense of justice. She was also the one who saved me from Vernon. I will like her for the rest of my life!"


Sarina muttered, "She's alright."


Rita quickly said, "It's real. She's super nice!"


The moment Rita's voice just broke off, she heard Ebony say to the assistant director again, "And Rita and Sarina played the ghosts too. You have to pay them a bonus too! But they're not here right now. How about this? You transfer their bonuses to me. I'll transfer the money to them. We're staying in the same hotel, so it's convenient for me to transfer money to them. Transfer the money to me directly now. I'll add you on WhatsApp."


Rita felt speechless.


Sarina was also speechless.


Then Sarina turned her head to Rita and asked, "Do you think she is still nice? Will you still like her for the rest of your life?"


Rita felt speechless.


At that moment, a staff member came over and shouted, "Dear guests, the car is waiting downstairs. I'll ask the driver to take you back to the hotel to rest."


As soon as Ebony turned her head, she saw that the other guests had already come out.


She quickly put her phone back into her pocket and pretended she hadn't taken the bonuses earned by Rita and Sarina!


On their way back, Lorena was not in the car. And the staff said she had left first, so everyone didn't take it seriously.


However, when they got back to the hotel, they met Lorena in the elevator.


While Lorena was on the phone, the others didn't hear what she was saying because she was in the distance.


However, Ebony had sharp ears, so she heard what Lorena was saying.


Lorena said over the phone, "Victor, why are you like my father? Why don't you even care about my feelings? I said I don't want to be on this show. You knew Ebony was here, but why did you let me come... What spying? What do you want me to spy on her..."


At this point, Lorena suddenly saw someone coming from behind her in the mirror of the elevator door. Then she quickly lowered her voice and whispered to the other side of the phone, "I'll call you later."


She said as she hung up the phone.


At that moment, the elevator door opened. Then Lorena stepped inside.


Rita walked a few steps faster as she shouted, "Wait."


Lorena glanced at Ebony behind the crowd and hurriedly pressed the button to close the door.


Rita watched the elevator door close. She stood at the entrance of the elevator and was stunned. "What's wrong with her?"


Justin pressed the elevator button again and said, "Forget it."


A short while later, another elevator came down.


Then the five of them stepped into the elevator.


Ebony stood in the elevator. When she thought about what Lorena had just said, she looked up and asked, "What's the date today?"


Rita thought for a moment and then said, "It's after midnight. Today is April 9th."


Ebony froze.


Moses was also stunned. Then he blurted out, "Today is April 9th?"


Justin looked at Moses and said, "What's wrong?"


Moses remained silent. He just looked at Ebony.


April 9th was Ebony's birthday in the Pine family!


Ebony didn't notice the way Moses looked at her.


It just occurred to her that today was the day she turned twenty.


She thought, 'Twenty years old... Spying on me...'


Then, she pondered the connection between the two phrases. Suddenly, Ebony figured something out.


After walking out of the law firm, had she been kidnapped by Jared and his men on the day she turned twenty in her previous life?


If that was the case, Jared was a real jerk!


The elevator quickly arrived at the destination. Then, several people walked out.


Moses turned his head and gave Ebony one more look before entering the room.


He didn't purse his lips and walked into his room until he saw Ebony enter her room.


The next day, at ten in the morning.


When Justin came out of his room and intended to go downstairs for breakfast, he opened the door to see Moses standing in the hallway and practicing speaking at the door of Ebony's room. "Miss Gibson, are you free today? I'd like to ask you out..."


"Miss Gibson, I know a really good restaurant..."


"Miss Gibson, do you like watching movies? I know a great movie..."


Justin saw Moses standing anxiously at the door of Ebony's room, walking around, and restlessly changing his words, but Moses couldn't make up his mind to knock on the door.


Justin just stood at the door of his room. After listening for quite a while, he said in a casual tone, "Stop it. She's gone."


Moses suddenly turned his head. When he saw Justin in the hallway, he said in shock, "Mr. Graham, you scared me!"


Justin snickered and said, "Miss Gibson is gone. She took the morning flight. By now, she's probably on her way to Sluvale."


Moses froze and then looked lost. "She's already gone..."


The show had wrapped up in advance, so he thought Ebony would be free today.


"Well, forget it..." Moses said dejectedly. He was about to turn around and leave after he finished.


However, Justin, who was standing across from Moses, said, "Come on! I want to eat at a fancy restaurant too. Mr. Smith, if you don't mind, shall we go?"


Moses was stunned. He looked at Justin with dismay.


Justin said, "Wait for me. I'll go change."


Moses was speechless. He wanted to celebrate Ebony's birthday. And he was trying to develop their relationship with Ebony!


But what was he doing out with Justin? He didn't need to develop a relationship with Justin!


3 p.m. at Sky Law Firm in Sluvale.


Ebony looked around as she entered the law firm.


After she was sure that a few suspicious people were spying on her, she chuckled and then stepped into the firm.


Ebony stayed at the law firm for over an hour.


When she came out, she had a file in her hand.


She walked to the curb wearing a mask and sunglasses and intended to wait for a car.


Just then, a black car suddenly appeared. Inside the car were four burly men with hoods. Suddenly, they rushed out of the car and dragged her roughly into the car.


Everything that happened was the same as what she encountered in her previous life.


The only difference was that Ebony fought against them in her previous life.


However, she did not do so in this life.


Then, the car door closed. The black car sped away.


After all, they had kidnapped her. The driver drove the car fast out of panic.


However, after driving for a while, the car suddenly slowed down. Then the car drove at a normal speed.


In the passenger seat.


Ebony played with the kidnapper's pistol in her hand. Then, she aimed the gun at the temple of the driver who was trembling. She said slowly, "You drove without following the rules. Passengers may die because of it. You drive so fast. Do you know you will violate the traffic rules?"


The driver was sweating with fear. Then he took a careful look at the back of his car from the rearview mirror.


At once, the driver saw three other burly men covered in blood and that they were seriously injured. They were piled up like rotten meat. The driver could not tell if they were alive or not.


The driver felt as if he had a dream.


Since they kidnapped the girl from the car, he had seen the girl do a few moves and beat up his three sidekicks badly.


It took her less than five minutes to beat them up like that!


The driver was so scared that he was about to pee. He hurriedly said, "M-Miss, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. We were wrong... Please forgive us..."


"Tsk." Ebony put the gun close to the driver's forehead and said coldly, "Cut the crap. Drive."


The driver panicked and asked, "W-where are you going?"


Then he saw the beautiful, cold-faced girl smiling and slowly saying, "To the place you were going to take me."


A few hours later, the car stopped in front of an old, abandoned factory building.


It was already dark.


She could smell the unpleasant smell of rust and dirt.


Ebony got out of the car. Her slender fingers twirled the pistol around. She hummed as she looked around the surroundings.


This was the place where she was kidnapped in her previous life. It was also where she first met Max.


Ebony walked inside the abandoned factory.


At this time, the driver also got out of the car. Then he looked at his sidekicks who were still passed out in the back of the car seat.


He gritted his teeth and knew he couldn't just stay put. If he did not resist, once the girl called the police, the four of them would be doomed!


And they all had a criminal record. If they got caught, they would be in jail for the rest of their lives!


The driver stared at Ebony's back with a sinister gaze. When he walked a little closer, suddenly, he pulled out the short knife tied to his belt and rushed toward Ebony.


"Ah..." A scream of pain sounded in the next second.


Ebony turned sideways and grabbed the wrist of the driver's hand holding the knife. Without even looking at the driver, she was still looking up to observe the surrounding area.


She didn't break both of the driver's wrists until she heard the driver's painful cry. Then she lowered her eyes and snatched the knife from the driver's hand.


She stabbed the driver in the shoulder with the knife.


"Ah ah..." The driver screamed so loudly that he was about to freak out. His voice sounded desperate!


Ebony snickered and threw him away. Then she raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Will you listen to me now?"
