Rebirth as The Vampire Lord's Wife
Chapter 116: Choice

Chapter 116: Choice

"Goodbye, asshole!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Iris’s face when she saw Dudley motionless on the floor, pale as if there were no blood beneath his skin.

’This magic gun is so damn cool! No blood, no wounds...’ Iris felt satisfied. It made it easier for her to complete her work here.

Then Iris’ eyes fell on Ruby Winters, who was shivering in fear when she saw Dudley lying motionless on the floor.

’S-She actually killed him? How could this woman do that to a police officer without fear?’ Ruby slowly lifted her eyes, looking at the woman in horror.

Iris smiled faintly, looking at Ruby’s scared gaze. She no longer used her fake voice — it was too tiring. She talked to her as usual, "Miss Winters, I will give you a choice..." She paused when she saw Ruby frown as if she were realizing something.

"First, you die without pain. Second, you die because you suffer humiliation and go crazy? Choose wisely, Miss Winters... I will grant whatever you choose."

Ruby didn’t understand why this girl suddenly appeared inside her hotel room and killed Dudley. However, what she heard earlier really horrified her. This was the first time she knew that Dudley was a corrupt policeman; the scary thing is that he was also involved in human trafficking.

And, if this woman was right, she would likely be a victim of Dudley, sold to other people. Just thinking about it made shivers run down her spine.

Ruby understood her current position, witnessing what was happening here. This is like a double-eye sword; She could use that as a bargaining chip to escape from this room, to escape the sharp bullet or die if this woman didn’t give her a chance.

But...

Why did she ask her to choose such an option? Neither of her options seemed favorable for her. She really couldn’t answer that question.

"Miss Winters!? Choose..."

Ruby was stunned to hear her voice again. She narrowed her eyes, looking at the woman in front of her in confusion.

’Why does this woman’s voice sound familiar? I think... I’ve heard this voice before, but where?’

Ruby tried to remember while looking at the woman with short black hair and glasses in front of her. However, no matter how hard she tried, her memory remained hazy. She felt like she had never met this girl before. But somehow, the voice seemed very familiar.

"W-Who are you, really?" Ruby couldn’t help but ask despite her fear at this moment. She was frightened; this woman was about to end her life just like how she ended Dudley’s life.

Iris smirked. She slowly walked, approaching Ruby, and stood at the end of the bed. She saw Ruby sitting on the bed, looking at her frightenedly.

"I’m asking you here, Miss Winters," Iris shook her head while playing with her golden gun in her hand, pretending not to be happy hearing her words and ready to shoot her.

"M-Miss... Miss... Please... Please... don’t do it. Please stop... I will not say anything to anyone about this. If you let me go, I will vanish before you and never talk about what happened in this room... I promise you..." Ruby pleaded with tears. She couldn’t hold herself from crying, too scared in this situation.

Seeing this woman ignoring her words, she continued, "M-Miss... T-Tell me, what do you want? Money? Property? Anything? Just say... I will give you as much as you want as long as you let me go, please... M-Miss." She continued her plea.

This is the first time Ruby feels so afraid in her entire life. She could see the woman’s eyes radiating hatred toward her, but she didn’t understand why she hated her.

Iris chuckled, hearing her offer. "Miss Winters, choose!" She snapped.

’Shit!! Why doesn’t this woman waver with my offer?’ Ruby panicked because she couldn’t buy this woman mercy with money.

"Okay... Okay... I’ll give you a share. You already know my name, right? My family owns Winters Corporations. And I own 25% of the shares in that company. If you—" Ruby stopped when she saw the woman point her gun at her temple. Her voice suddenly disappeared as if all her words had returned to her stomach.

Ruby swallowed hard.

"I told you to choose, not offer me anything, Miss Winters! Didn’t you ignore my simple words?" Iris’s icy voice echoed in the room.

"I..." Ruby couldn’t finish her words. How could she choose how she died? She didn’t answer but lowered her head, feeling helpless.

Ruby could only vent her anger in her mind, ’Bitch!! If I had to choose how to die, I would choose a painless one!’

"Good!! I will grant your wish to die without pain..." Iris smiled as she released the lock on her gun.

Ruby lifted her head, too shocked to hear the woman’s words, "H-How did you know? You could read my mind?" she asked in horror.

Light laughter sounded in the room when Iris heard her question, "Miss Winters, I can’t read your mind. But I just guessed it..." She grinned and shot.

She could see Ruby’s eyes widen as the golden bullet passed through her temple. And slowly, her body fell backward, and death embraced her.

"Done!"

With difficulty, Iris pulled Dudley’s body back onto the bed. She made it look like they both die when having sex.

After making sure everything was flawless, she glanced at her watch. She still had five minutes left. She decided to wait for Lucian to come.

Iris walked to a corner near the glass window while looking outside. The sky seemed very bright, and the streets below looked busy.

She felt weird doing her mission in daylight. In the past, she rarely took action during the day like this.

’You, so bold... Iris!!’ She scolded herself while shaking her head at her own bravery.

"Are you done!?"

Suddenly, Gavriel’s voice was heard from behind. She immediately looked back, seeing Gavriel leaning against the wall.
