Chapter 129 Hannah And Saint Yellowbeard
Naturally, the wraith would then switch its target to Emrys.
However, Hannah didn’t expect Emrys to nullify the demonic energy in Roger’s b*dy and wipe out the wraith within the blood emerald. It proved Emrys was a top–tier friar.
Regret washed over her as she pleaded, “Sebastian, please! I’m your mother. Please don’t hurt me anymore. I’m sorry.”.
“Shut up! You’re not my mother! My mother passed away a long time ago. You’re nothing but an evil witch!”
Sebastian’s rage flared at her pleas, and he took it out on her. He finally stopped when Roger spoke.
“Are you still unwilling to give in even now?” Roger shouted as he stared intently at Hannah.
She immediately crawled over to him and sobbed, “Honey, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I only did something terrible like that because someone tricked me…”
Since the cat was out of the bag, Hannah gave up struggling and revealed everything she had done.
As it turned out, a friar was behind everything.
As a faithful devotee, Hannah had been contacting him in secret, even going so far as to sleep with him.
The friar had promised her eternal youth in exchange for money.
His asking price was two billion.
Two billion wouldn’t strain the financial status of the Balford family, but the amount was still astronomical, so Roger would surely find out if she suddenly withdrew two billion. It would be difficult for her to explain if he asked for the reason.
Hence, determined to see things through, she pulled out all the stops and requested a piece of blood emerald from the friar, planning to utilize the demonic energy within the cursed gemstone to kill Roger.
The friar behind everything was Saint Yellowbeard.
“Saint Yellowbeard!” Jacqueline’s eyes widened in shock as she asked, “Isn’t he the person you told me about? The friar who possesses great powers? The Saint Yellowbeard you were planning to introduce to me?”
Hannah nodded. “Yes, it’s him.”
Jacqueline’s expression turned to horror at Hannah’s confirmation.
She had never been close to Hannah, but not long ago, the latter’s demeanor suddenly changed. Hannah even said she wanted to introduce a friar to her. That friar was Saint Yellowbeard.
Jacqueline did have her suspicions then but wasn’t sure of Hannah’s motives until today, when Hannah
Chapter 128 Price To Pay
“When did I tell you the cursed object’s an emerald pendant?” Emrys scoffed.
In an instant, Hannah felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Sh*t! I slipped up!
“So it was you! Dad adores you so much and treats you like a goddess… Why would you do this to him?” Sebastian snapped as he kicked Hannah till she screamed in pain.
Meanwhile, Emrys removed the blood emerald and crushed it with one hand. Even when a cold, terrifying burst of force bolted toward him, he smashed it into smithereens without breaking a sweat.
“Hannah Stark, you sure are scheming, huh?” he said, shaking his head. “You wanted to make me the scapegoat for your heinous crime, but unfortunately, you picked the wrong guy.”
As it turned out, if an amateur were to use cursed objects on others, they would also risk facing dire
consequences.
In the case of the blood emerald, the last person who came in contact with it would have years of their life shaved off.
Hannah was the one who stuffed the blood emerald into the pillow, which made her the last person to touch the cursed object. Therefore, if Roger died, the emerald would immediately split open and release a wraith to go after her.
The price to pay for harming others was ten years off one’s life expectancy, which was why Hannah agreed to let Emrys treat Roger.
She had planned on kicking up a fuss after Emrys‘ treatment failed and throwing the blood emerald at him during the commotion. That way, he’d become the last person to be in contact with the cursed object.

Chapter 130 Trap For Saint Yellowbeard
Hannah rolled her eyes at him and answered, “Jacqueline has felt animosity toward me from the moment I stepped through the front door of the Balford residence. How can it possibly be that easy to trick her?”
It wasn’t Saint Yellowbeard’s first time in the Balford residence. The last time he was there to meet Hannah privately, he caught a glimpse of Jacqueline’s portrait in her room. Dirty thoughts filled his
