NovelEnglishChapter 375 Scarlet's insults were vicious-words so cruel, no one else could have stomached them.
But Claire was different.
For as long as she could remember, abuse had been a constant in her life. She'd long since built up an immunity to words that could cut like knives.
She sat inside the iron cage, gazing at Scarlet with icy detachment. Her eyes were cold, utterly unruffled, as if she were merely watching a clown's performance.

Claire simply watched in silence.
Scarlet raged for over ten minutes, until her throat was raw and she could barely speak.
At last, Claire's eyes narrowed with mocking disdain. "Are you finished?" she said coolly. "Because now it's my turn." "Scarlet, maybe you've forgotten what happened the last tyou crossed me, six months ago." "Tellwhat do you think Sean will do when he finds out how you've treated me? Care to guess what your fate will be?" Scarlet's face twisted with rage, making her look almost demonic.
She lunged toward the bars, her eyes wild. "You bitch! Thanks to you and Mandy, I have nothing left! I've got nothing to lose anymore-if I go down, I'm taking you with me!" A manic gleam lit up Scarlet's eyes as she leaned in closer. "I can't wait to see Sean's face when I've tortured you to death. I bet the look on his face when he finds your corpse will be absolutely priceless. Ha! Hahaha-" Claire's eyes narrowed. "I don't have long left anyway. But you? You've got decades ahead of you. If I can trade my life for yours, I'd say it's worth it." Claire's calm drove Scarlet over the edge. Shaking with rage, she pounded on the cage like a madwoman. "I'll kill you, you worthless wretch!" Claire remained composed, watching Scarlet's meltdown as if from a great distance.
She thought to herself: Maybe dying wouldn't be so bad. Maybe it would finally bring her peace.
She'd already avenged herself. This broken body-she'd stopped caring about it long ago.
Suddenly, Scarlet snatched up a fruit knife from the coffee table, ready to lunge at Claire.
Vincent, who had been silent all this time-watching Scarlet hurl abuse at Claire without intervening-couldn't stand by any longer. Seeing Scarlet about to attack, he finally spoke up.
"Scarlet, have you lost your mind?" he snapped. "Don't forget: when you first cto me, you promised you'd helpwin Claire, while you'd get Sean. Well, Claire's mine now. Isn't it tyou went after Sean?" Scarlet stared at Vincent as if he'd just spoken nonsense, her eyes full of contempt.

"Vincent, did you really believe what I said? The only reason I told you that was to get you to spill everything about this bitch, Claire. How else would I have found out that one of her kidneys ended up in Vanessa?" "How else would I have known she got her revenge by dumping Vanessa in the wilderness, leaving her at the mercy of those men?"
"How else do you think I tracked her down here, waited for her to get her d for her! kidney back and snatched her when she was at her weakest?" Vincent's face turned ashen. He stared at Scarlet in disbelief. "You used me?"
Scarlet's expression was ice-cold.
She sneered. "Didn't you use Claire we're talking back in college? Ifv Ve about manipulation, you're the real expert.
All that talk about loving her-you only ever loved yourself. Men are all the same." Vincent's whole body trembled with anger. He raised his hand, ready to slap Scarlet across the face.
But Scarlet dodged him with ease and, in one swift motion, slapped him hard across the cheek instead.
