After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 152: If Only I Could Become a Vampire Too
Even Mary herself found it absurd.
She had always kept that thing in a box, hidden in the most concealed part of her room, a spot that required moving a bunch of stuff to even see. She hardly ever cleaned there herself, let alone anyone else.
Plus, no one ever visited her room, so there was no way it was stolen.
But now it was just—gone!
No one could understand the shock and despair she felt when, after struggling to move all that heavy stuff, she finally saw the box, opened it with excitement in her heart, only to find it completely empty.
The emotional rollercoaster was more intense than a drop tower ride—Mary nearly passed out.
She checked over and over again, even moved everything again just in case it had fallen into some crevice. But after exhausting herself multiple times, she still saw nothing.
The thing was really, truly… gone!!!
Mary was already in a terrible mood, and seeing Shen Youyou’s expression right now only made the fire in her chest burn hotter.
Every word, every look—it was all implying she had hidden it on purpose. But what the h*ll would she want that thing for?!
From Mary’s perspective, it was more likely someone else desperately wanted it.
She even found herself gloating a bit—maybe it was for the best that it was gone. If these vampires valued it so much, then she’d be damned if she let them get their way.
Let these vampires tear each other apart for all she cared.
Looking at Shen Youyou’s face, twisted with anger, Mary felt a strange sense of revengeful satisfaction.
She really couldn’t stand these vampires anymore. She never felt this strongly before, but lately, the disgust had been growing stronger and stronger—irrational, but overwhelming. She couldn’t shake the feeling that these bloodsuckers didn’t deserve to live so freely.
They already had eternal youth and immortality, and now they got to live however they wanted just by seducing people. Meanwhile, ordinary folks like her had to work themselves to death just to survive.
—If only she could become a vampire too.
As soon as that thought appeared, Mary froze.
Why would she think that?
Wasn’t she the one who hated vampires the most? How could she possibly want to become one??
But once the seed of desire had been planted, it took root and sprouted vines that tangled around her heart. The thought in her mind grew stronger and stronger.
Mary shut her eyes, gripped the chair tightly beneath her, and instinctively tried to calm her breathing, brainwashing herself silently.
No… no. It must be because she’d been around vampires too long. That’s all.
Yeah, that’s right. What a joke. Like she’d actually want to be a vampire.
Ha… ha, ridiculous. Totally ridiculous.
But the creeping panic that was spreading inside her made her heart sink lower and lower.
She knew perfectly well—deep down, she really did want to become a vampire.
The realization hit her like a ton of bricks. Mary froze in her chair, the smug smile on her face locked in place like a frozen puppet.
Shen Youyou didn’t notice anything wrong with Mary—her mind was consumed with the fact that the heart was missing.
Lina didn’t seem like she had regained her strength, so Mary must’ve taken it!
Shen Youyou was practically grinding her teeth in rage.
She was just temporarily safeguarding it, and now this lowly maid actually had the audacity to try and keep it for herself?? Bold as h*ll!
But she couldn’t explode right here—not with Bo Jingmo and the others watching. Shen Youyou took a few deep breaths and tried to keep her tone steady: “Aunt Mary, I’m not accusing you. You’ve worked in my house for so many years, and honestly, I owe you for helping me escape. But now the fact is—it’s missing. Maybe you misplaced it or overlooked it? Could you check again?”
Mary, who had already turned her whole room upside down: “……”
She had just barely managed to suppress her panic, but after hearing that, the veins on her forehead started twitching in rage. She pulled her lips into a tight smile, but couldn’t help letting out a cold laugh. “Why don’t you, Miss, go look for it yourself?”
She emphasized the word Miss like it meant something more.
Now that Master Shen was dead, and all the assets were under that woman’s name, what gave Shen Youyou the right to boss her around? Still think she’s some precious little heiress from back in the day?
Besides, vampires had way more strength than she did. Why didn’t they go search for it themselves? Why did they keep making her do everything?
The more Mary thought about it, the angrier she got.
Shen Youyou didn’t expect her to talk back like that and was clearly stunned for a second, then disbelief crept onto her face. “…Mary? What’s that supposed to mean?”
A servant dared talk back to her?
But Mary just said, “I’m only worried Miss misunderstood. I really didn’t find it.”
Ha. Didn’t find it, huh!
Shen Youyou almost laughed from how furious she was. With her back to the others, a faint red glow began to emerge in her eyes.
But across from her, Mary’s expression stayed perfectly neutral. She even stared her down, completely unafraid, her eyes unusually clear.
Enchantment—failed.
Shen Youyou glared at her, fists clenched, barely holding back the urge to lunge at her.
And you still say it’s not on you??
Sensing the tension rising between them, the others quickly stepped in, “Alright, alright, as long as Lina doesn’t have it, that’s what matters. She’s already gone back to the North Residence, so clearly she didn’t get it. It must still be somewhere in the room. Let’s all look for it together.”
Shen Youyou lowered her head, her hair falling over her eyes, hiding the emotions within. The half-visible side of her face showed no expression, but her lips let out a barely audible scoff, and when she looked up again, her gaze was cold and venomous as it locked onto Mary.
Search together?
Useless. That thing was on this woman.
She hid it on purpose. How could any of them possibly find it?
Her eyes flickered. When she looked up again, her usual smile was back on her face, and her tone was gentle. “Alright. Xixi, you guys go ahead and look. I’ll have a private chat with Aunt Mary—help her jog her memory. Maybe she just remembered wrong.”
Mary glanced over when she heard that, her eyes darkening.
She looked into the room, and something seemed to flash across her mind. Her face froze for a second, then she suddenly curled her lips into a smile, stood up on her own, and said, “Sure. You guys go ahead and search. I’ll stay here and think. Maybe I really did remember wrong.”
【I feel like there’s something off about this Mary…】
【I smell a dark turn coming. Yep… confirmed. Watch her eyes—they’re not right either.】
【But looking at her, the thing really does seem to be missing. When Shen Youyou accused her at first, that anger in her eyes didn’t seem fake.】
【But when Shen Youyou tried to enchant her, it didn’t work—which means the thing must still be on her.】
【This one’s hard to figure out.】
【By the way, what does that thing even look like? I still haven’t seen it.】
【No clue. What if it’s a bloody heart or something? Holy sh*t, that’d be terrifying.】
