Chapter 421 Aren’t You Afraid of Getting Retribution?
Mia was gradually “cornered” into the house, crossing the front yard. She stepped back next to the swimming pool and caught a glimpse of the crystal-clear water behind her. She pretended to stop in her tracks casually and asked, “Evelyn, what are you doing?”
“How dare you ask me?” Evelyn stood still with bloodshot eyes. She was so angry that she lost her mind, and her voice could not stop trembling. “If you have any grievances, you can direct them at me. What is the point of playing tricks on my parents? Aren’t you afraid of getting retribution?”
Mia, faced with such a situation with Evelyn, felt somewhat uncertain, but she still maintained a calm expression and said, “How could I have known that he had a heart condition?”
From her tone and attitude, it seemed that even if Ben died, it had nothing to do with her.
“Well.” Evelyn even laughed, reaching the point of extreme anger where laughter emerged. The last trace of warmth in her eyes faded away, leaving only an endless coldness. “Do
you think that the whole world should cater to you just
because you have this illness?”
Her eyes were fixed on Mia, and in an instant, endless hatred burst out from her as if wanting to tear Mia apart with a
thousand knives.
Unfortunately, the woman before her was not an ordinary person. She had no shame and showed no fear. She could even calmly stand her ground and confront her.
Evelyn felt a sudden and uncontrollable impulse surge from the depths of her heart. She took a step forward, looked at that face still wearing a smile, and reached out to grab her neck.
“Ah!” Mia cried out in surprise. Soon, she couldn’t make a sound because the hand grabbing her throat gradually tightened.
Evelyn gradually increased the pressure, making it difficult for Mia to breathe but not exerting too much force. She held her with precision, torturing her slowly in this manner.
“You should die with this disease instead of burdening others and causing harm to them. What’s the difference between
you being alive or dead?” Evelyn unleashed the most vicious words she could think of. Watching Ben collapse, she had lost all sense of rationality. “Mia, do you think Huston loves you? He doesn’t love you, and he even dislikes you. He sees you as a
burden, suffocating him. Everything he does for you is not because of you but because of your parents. It’s so ridiculous
that you’re delusional to think you can have him. Let me tell
you something. He will never love you even in the next life!”
When Mia heard this, her face, which had been expressionless
all the time, finally changed. Her eyes and nostrils widened,
and even the corners of her mouth twitched slightly
unconsciously.
She had been avoiding the reality that she didn’t want to face,
and now what Evelyn said was so ironic.
Just as Mia was about to struggle, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure appearing near the entrance, facing their direction from the corner of her eye.
It only took her one second to see the man’s face clearly. At
that moment, she decided to gamble with her life.
Evelyn was so emotional that she had no time to think about
anything else. At this moment, Mia suddenly tilted her feet
and fell into the pool behind her.
The strength of her body surpassed the strength of Evelyn’s
