CHAPTER 186: Overkill
Meanwhile...
Bear glanced at the rear mirror to check if Heaven was sleeping. She wasn't. Heaven was just unusually quiet while looking out the window as if she wasn't mentally present.
'Why do I always wonder what's in her mind?'he wondered, setting his focus on the highway ahead. 'It's not like she is Hera for me to wonder what sort of idea might cross her mind.'
"Should I turn on the radio?" Bear inquired after another minute of pure silence, but he never got a response from her. He glanced at the rear mirror once again, only to see her side-eyeing him.
Bear almost flinched, not expecting she was already looking in the driver's seat.
"Bear, what do you think of Paula Shen?" she asked with a deep exhale, making him raise his brows.
'Paula Shen?' he checked his memory to know who this woman was, only to realize that was the name of Heaven's friend. "Nothing in particular."
Bear didn't care about anyone who doesn't pose a threat to her or to the Zhu family. For him, Paula Shen was just an insignificant character trying to be noticed. In other words, this woman was not worthy of Bear's attention unless she would do something that could harm his boss's wife.
"Right... why did I think you will care?" Heaven mumbled, setting her eyes back to the window. She leaned back comfortably. "I didn't think shooting just one scene can be this tiring."
Again, Bear glanced at her through the mirror.
How could she say that as if it was her first time? But then again, she was on hiatus for the past five years. That was probably what she meant.
'It was only fun for a while, but it doesn't last long,' Heaven thought, thinking that the satisfaction in tormenting Paula's mind was short-lived. 'But then again, I can't forgive her, nor do I pity her. After all, she didn't pity Heaven while poisoning her mind.'
Even if Paula didn't set her up with Leo Wu that day, Heaven would still avenge the original Heaven. After all, what Paula did was far worse than Andrea's attempt to kill her. Acting like a good friend and support, only to poison Heaven's mind using Heaven's depression.
'It was always better to die in the hands of an enemy than a friend,'Heaven thought, thinking about Paula and the original Heaven's relationship. 'At least you know your enemy's agenda. Dying in a friend's hand brings a different level of pain.'
Paula just doesn't realize that she didn't need to do anything to hurt Heaven. Keeping an ill intention toward her friend was already enough to hurt Heaven. Not that Hera didn't understand the root of Paula's grievances.
For her, Paula had all the reason to hate Heaven. However, she was wrong to keep this friendship and blame the original Heaven for everything.
"Life... was never fair and one had to accept that," she whispered, warranting a glance from the driver's seat. "It's almost amusing how some people deny the unfairness of this world instead of accepting it. Not knowing denying it will only deter you from moving forward."
Bear would glance at her through the rear mirror from time to time as Heaven talked to herself. Since the inside of the vehicle was quiet, he could hear her loud and clear.
"Oh, Paula Shen... you're giving me a headache," Heaven continued her mumblings and sighed. "Should I just teach her a lesson and put her in her place? Or should I make sure she leaves my sight forever?"
