Addie sobbed and slapped Aline hard across the face.
Her strike was forceful, causing Aline’s face to swell.
Addie’s sharp nails pierced into Aline’s flesh. Aline’s face was disfigured.
Aline screamed desperately, “Albert, help me! Help me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlbert sneered.
“Why should I help you? Who are you to me?”
Aline was utterly shocked.
She looked at Krista, Addie, Ruth, Rena, Wendy, and Waylen, and everyone regarded her with disdainful eyes as if she were something poisonous.
Poisonous? Well, beautiful things could be just as poisonous.
When Aline saw her grotesque face in the mirror, she was in a trance.
At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten the pain in her body.
She gingerly touched her face and muttered, “It’s over.”
Rena threw the necklace to Aline.
“Aline, this is your last possession.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAline picked up the necklace and put it on, dancing clumsily as she muttered, “You’re right. I did it all. Harold never loved me. He deserved to die. He deserved to die when he got hit by that car. He slept with me, yet he still thought about you, Rena. He continued to yearn for you even after you got married. Didn’t he deserve to die?
And why are you still alive, Rena? I bought off an electric worker.
I asked him to do something… Yet, here you are. Still breathing.
Rena, do you have nine lives or something? Harold placed that piece of junk on you, which saved your life. And Harrison, that fool, also admired you. Harold… I can’t believe he wanted to help you even on the brink of death. How can I not hate you?”
The room fell silent.
Aline grinned strangely.
“But this time, I truly wanted to get along with you, Rena. Why don’t you give me a chance?”
Rena placed a recording pen on the table, her expression unwavering.
