Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 394
“Of all the freaking days in the year, why do you have to do this today?” Shreya asked frustrated to no one in particular as she stood there in an abandoned construction site just outside the city.
They had been waiting for Delaney to make a move for a few weeks now but then she had to try to escape today of all the days. Shreya really wished she could really punch her in the face right about now.
They had lured her to one of their sites. Anyways, with Shreya’s resources in the city, it was not like Delaney had much choice. If Shreya itself did not want her to escape, she probably wouldn’t have ever gotten out of the captivity they were keeping her in.
Shreya just needed to confirm and say something to Delaney before she goes… she wanted her to understand she might not get another chance like this.
Anyways, Shreya started expanding in T country.
T country had a hostile environment… just the right kind of place where a capitalist like Shreya can thrive. She just never had to reason to venture there before Darcie. But when she handed over Darcie to Delaney, she already started making her moves as an insurance policy. And thanks to Mithun and the stupid person he hired, she got a lot of resources without ever looking for them. The guys she had hired, were all native kids and their boss was too… so, combined together, Shreya came to know about a lot of people in T country in record speed. And you know Shreya, she always knew how to use a piece of information to her advantage.
So, with just the right push and enough money, she really expanded leaps and bounds when it came to T country.
Because of the volatile environment in the T country, people like Delaney were running around unchecked for a long time which made them so much more powerful than the government itself. The government couldn’t even touch the tip of the iceberg.
But Shreya provided her resources to the government and with the right use of the government, she was able to put some pressure on Delaney’s organization. Especially in the past few weeks when Delaney had attacked and was held captive.
So, even when Delaney is going to go back, she was going to have a lot of cleaning up to do. And since Shreya did everything off-grid, she would never be able to get to Shreya. But even if she did, Shreya was pretty sure Delaney was not such a petty person. But of course, she had a plan in place just in case she was.
Before long, a car came to a standstill in front of Shreya abruptly almost running over her. And about 5 other cars chased and reached the clearing in quick successions.
Shreya did not even bother to flinch. She just stood there leaning over the front of her car with the headlights on and stared into the person sitting in the passenger seat of the first car. Not to anyone’s surprise, it was actually Delaney.
Shreya just stared back at Delaney with a steady gaze. Her eyes never flinched. She stood alone in the center.
Delaney’s driver got down first but he was quickly surrounded by Shreya’s men.
Neither Shreya nor Delaney moved from their places for a long time until Zack went ahead and opened the doors for Delaney.
Delaney did not lose her momentum as she got down from the car and walked towards Shreya not losing a single ounce of her arrogance in spite of being surrounded by the enemy. She had thinned down several rounds in the past weeks because of malnutrition just like Darcie. Shreya kept her in the same facility as Darcie. It was just she purposely leaked some information about Dalaney to T country facilitating her people to come for her.
Anyways, she never kept any of her people in that facility. She always refrained from causing unnecessary casualties. And this time, she herself wanted Delaney to escape. So, it did not make sense to keep her people around for them to be slaughtered. There was just remote monitoring in the place.
Even when the sensors were tripped, they just followed and softly guided them towards Shreya’s location.
“Are you sure you want to do this, Shreya?” Delaney asked breaking the silence. Her eyes were fierce in spite of her conditions.
“I am not going to do anything. If I did not want you to escape, you wouldn’t have gotten out of the building at all in the first place… I just wanted to talk to you about things before you leave. The favor I asked you in T country, I have paid it in full with this… so, if you do something so stupid once again, I wouldn’t have any reason to be so hospitable the next time.” Even when Shreya’s voice was nonchalant on the surface, one cannot really miss the sternness and the warning in her voice.
A coldness flashed on Delaney’s face. She hated being challenged. She did not care about her life but she cared about her pride.
“Are you threatening me?” Delaney asked icily taking a step forward.
“I wouldn’t dare… I am just saying I am better an ally than an enemy. You and I both know I am usually too lazy to go making enemies. Just with the fact that I am letting you go after you tried to kill me, you should know how lazy I am… But that does not mean I am useless which you can see just by looking around. So, it does not make any sense to make things worse for both of us by trying to hold on to a grudge that does not even belong to you… after all, if anything I should be the one who should be holding a grudge after what you did. And since even I am saying I will let it go, don’t make things hard..” Shreya said in a matter-of-fact tone.
