Once She Came Like a Flash novel Chapter 78

**Chapter 78**

The reporters burst into the building like a swarm of locusts, their energy palpable as they raced up the staircase to the third floor in hot pursuit of Renee. Cameras were at the ready, capturing every moment, while their voices buzzed with anticipation and urgency.

Yet, to their dismay, Renee was nowhere in sight.

Kayla, refusing to let this opportunity slip through her fingers, sprinted up behind the throng, her face alight with eagerness and determination. She had to be there when the story broke.

Trailing closely behind her were Adam, Julian, and Irene, their hearts racing at the prospect of finally witnessing Renee being brought to light. It was as if the earlier incident involving the poisoned children had completely slipped their minds; their focus was solely on Renee.

At this moment, she was the headline, the main event. Reporters clamored for exclusive footage, while high-profile business moguls had descended upon the scene, drawn by the unfolding drama.

But after scouring every inch of the third floor, frustration mounted as they found no trace of Renee.

Kayla’s mind raced with confusion. She distinctly recalled seeing Renee enter Building 3, and she had witnessed Harvey escorting her into that room. Everything had seemed perfectly orchestrated, a flawless setup.

What in the world had gone wrong?

“Useless idiot!” she seethed internally, her frustration boiling over.

Clenching her fist tightly, she felt a surge of anger coursing through her veins.

Just then, Adam pulled out his phone, his face etched with urgency as he attempted to call Renee.

Ring, ring!

The unmistakable sound of the ringtone echoed from one of the nearby rooms, slicing through the tension in the air.

All heads turned toward the source of the sound, and they rushed into the room, only to be met with an unsettling sight: the space was empty, save for a chaotic mess and a bloodstained bed that sent chills down their spines.

“What on earth happened here?” someone whispered in disbelief.

“Why is there so much blood?” another voice quivered.

“Did someone get hurt? Is she… is she dead?” Adam’s heart plummeted into his stomach, his hands shaking uncontrollably as he clutched the phone, a wave of terror washing over him at the thought of what might have happened to Renee.

Kayla, still grappling with the unfolding chaos, didn’t waste a moment. She swiftly pulled out her phone, her fingers flying over the screen as she sent a text to her team.

[Lock down every exit! Now! Don’t let Renee get out of that building.]

Damn it! That witch had the kind of luck that made her infuriating!

Kayla had meticulously crafted this moment, envisioning a scene where Renee would be caught in the act by the reporters, her scandalous behavior exposed for all to see. The plan was clear: leak the footage of her indiscretions online, and watch her world crumble.

But now?
