"No! No!" Renee seemed trapped in an endless nightmare, covering her ears and screaming in terror. She wanted to escape, but an invisible hand seemed to grip her tightly, throwing her into a quagmire from which there was no salvation.
"You worthless girl! Just like your mother, brainless trash! You had the chance to revel in endless glory and riches, but you insisted on giving it all away! Useless waste!"
"Shut up!" Renee lunged forward, pounding on the glass as if possessed. "You animal! It's all because of you! My mother... It's because of you she suffered and ended up with dissociative identity disorder... And now she's dead! Are you satisfied?!"
"What?" Melvin was surprised, then burst into increasingly loud laughter.
The prison guards had warned him multiple times, but it was futile. Thus, they eventually decided to push him back into his cell.
A female guard outside gently patted Renee's shoulder and guided her to sit down.
Just as Melvin was about to be pushed back through the iron door, he suddenly turned around, his eyes like an abyss from hell.
"Heh! Renee, you are my daughter!
"Nicholas and Linda won't treat you well sincerely. One day, they'll abandon you, too!
"How about our family of three reuniting in hell? Hahaha!"
"Get lost!" Renee lost control of her emotions again, and it took two guards to restrain her.
The cold room fell silent, filled only with the sound of her sobbing breakdown, echoing in every corner.
After a while, someone escorted her out of there.
Outside, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining, yet she felt cold to her core as if plunged into an icy abyss from body to soul.
Toph called her. Before she could even speak, his cheerful laughter came through the phone.
"Renee, guess what gift I've prepared for you?"
Renee forced a bitter smile and replied softly, "I don't know."
