Wendy let out a soft laugh.
"I thought you'd find me sooner. You're so smart and so capable. What took you so long?"
"Cut the crap. Tell me where Snuggle is now."
As soon as she got the answer she needed, Serena pushed open the door and rushed out.
A fine mist of rain blew against her face, dampening the edges of her clothes and her eyes. She hurried toward the direction of Crestview Bay.
"If you hurt him, I swear I'll ruin you!"
"You? Ruin me?" Wendy burst into hysterical laughter, her tone nearly deranged.
"If you could've done it, you would've already! You have nothing on me, but I've got your weakness in my hands! Funny, isn't it? Just a cat, and it's got you threatening me like that.
"If you really care so much about that little furball, then go ahead and destroy the hand you play violin with. If not, I'll crush this thing right now."
If Serena hadn't made a name for herself in Javerton City's classical music circles, Wendy would've never been eliminated in the very first round of that competition.
And if Serena hadn't once performed for Zach, Zach never would've turned to that scammer, Kade. Kade almost succeeded in getting her claws into him.
The only way to completely erase Zach's love and memory of Serena was to ruin that hand of hers. With Serena out of the picture, Wendy could finally shine in the city's violin scene.
And when that day came, even if the Fosters still favored Serena, she'd be nothing more than a disabled girl with a ruined hand. She was no longer someone they could bring to the public eye. Wendy could rightfully stand by Zach's side.
As that thought crossed her mind, she snapped a photo of herself holding Snuggle and sent it to Serena.
"You've got ten minutes to think this through. I'm near Crestview Bay. I want to see an ambulance pull up. However you want to do it is up to you."
Serena slowed down.
