The painting depicted not a stranger but a woman.

The woman’s eyes were covered with thick white bandages, and her face was crisscrossed with numerous scars, grotesque and terrifying.
Even though Maggie had never seen herself disfigured and blinded in her past life, at this moment, she could recognise that the person in the painting was her.
Not only did the gouged–out eyes and destroyed face resemble hers, but so did the face itself.
Maggie’s throat tightened, and her heart raced.
Was this from Timmothy?
Or did someone else slip it in?
No, it must be from Timmothy. When he mentioned that so–called friend, Maggie always found it odd and suspicious.
But she never imagined that Timmothy would have someone deliver it to her and then act like nothing happened.
Maggie pushed aside her growing unease and picked up the painting, taking a closer look.
The scars on the woman’s face were like a roadmap of pain, and only those who had lived through such agony would recognise each one’s precise location.
Many times later, her fingertips traced over those scars.
Now, looking at the woman’s face in the painting, Maggie couldn’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance to her past scars.
Timmothy had seen me before.
Wait, had he… also been reborn?
How could that even be possible?
If he didn’t have memories from his past life, how could all of this make sense?
At that moment, Maggie couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease.
If he did remember his past life, it meant not only her but also Nathael could be in danger.
In their past lives, they were always at odds, engaging in both open and covert struggles for a long time.
Even though Nathael came out on top.
But what if Timmothy remembered things from before? If he knew what happened, he’d have an advantage.
Maggie suddenly hated her past self for not knowing more. Despite her reincarnation, she knew too little

Chapter 250 Are You Threatening Me?
She wasn’t aware of the specifics of the conflict between Timmothy and Nathael, nor did she know the risks Nathael faced each time or which encounters were life–threatening showdowns between him and Timmothy,
The lack of knowledge wasn’t the scary part, what was truly frightening was that Timmothy seemed to have all the answers.
Maggie drifted off into deep thought for a while,
Never before had she considered the possibility that someone else might have experienced a rebirth like hers, and that person would be so close to her.
Maggie glanced down, quelling the unease in her eyes, and calmed herself.
A few minutes later, she called Timmothy back.
He answered after a few rings, sounding somewhat puzzled. “Is everything okay?”
“What do you want?” Maggie’s tone was frosty,
Everyone had their motives.
So, what did Timmothy seek by deliberately getting close to her and presenting her with this painting?
Timmothy didn’t seem taken aback by her coldness. He smiled and asked, “Did you check out the painting?”
“Just spit it out, what do you want?” Maggie pressed, her patience wearing thin.
“Are you mad? I figured you’d be curious to see your old self,” Timmothy remarked, twirling a pair of walnuts in his hand nonchalantly.
