Tang Xiaonan saw Jacqueline Spann, too. But Adrian Hawthorne was riding so fast that they were past her in a flash. She twisted around to look back. Jacqueline Spann was standing perfectly still, lost in thought, with an ice-cold smile playing on her lips.
Her heart sank. Tang Xiaonan tried to get a better look, but Adrian Hawthorne had already cycled too far away. Jacqueline Spann was now just a blur, completely indistinct.
Tang Xiaonan's brow furrowed tightly. That smile on Jacqueline Spann's face was nothing like what you'd expect from the wonderful girl portrayed by the author. The Jacqueline in the book was gentle, kind, and magnanimous, one to return malice with kindness and win people over with her goodness. How could a girl as saintly as that have such a creepy smile?
It was like watching a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. The sight was chilling.
