Feign Compliance

Rae Bennett gave herself a birthday gift at her coming-of-age ceremony—a golden cage. Then she put the boy she loved into the cage. Friends said: We, girls, need to be gentle. So she painted the cage a powdery pink and studded it with glittering diamonds. He asked, "Why?" "Because I love you." She will do whatever it takes to make him hers, even if it means breaking him. What kind of person is Rae Bennett? Everyone would reply: She's a sunny girl who loves to laugh and brings warmth to the world. Wyatt Wright said: She's the moon on Halloween, capable of taking lives. Alternate title of the book: How the Scheming Little Witch Pretends to be Good (PS: The male protagonist is not weak. This is a sweet and healing story)

285: The Truth Behind the Horizontal Murder (Second Update)_1

Selena Flores liked sweet osmanthus.

Asher Harrington made a drip-glue bookmark with dried sweet osmanthus flowers. As soon as the sun had set, he began to watch his wristwatch and count the time.

His watch was running too slow today; he had waited for a long time, but Selena Flores still hadn't come. The more he waited, the more restless and anxious he became. Just when he was about to lose his patience, he suddenly heard a sound from within the wall.

Tap, tap, tap...

It sounded exactly like the noise he had made when he tapped the ashtray against the tiles, a distress signal that only Selena Flores in the entire Allen Family had understood.

He stood up abruptly, threw down the bookmark, and ran to the door, knocking fiercely.

"Selena Flores!"

"Selena Flores!"

No matter how Asher Harrington called out, there was no response. The sounds of knocking transmitted through the wall grew more and more urgent.
