Atop the cliff, Brenda dragged Genevieve, who had her hands and feet tightly bound, behind her until they were only two or three steps away from the edge.
All it would take was one wrong move to send them tumbling down and shattering their bones into a million pieces.
Brenda could not care less as the strong winds disheveled her hair. She held onto Genevieve firmly with one hand while pointing toward the sea with the other. “Look down there. Isn't it beautiful?”
Her expression softened as she recalled the past. “Jan and I grew up together. We were in the same class in kindergarten. He brought me here and proposed to me before he went to study abroad. After that, I went abroad with him. We returned after graduating and put off having kids as we were busy with work. Later, I gave birth to a daughter. Shirley became our little angel. She was so adorable, and Jan doted on her. No matter where he went for social events, he'd make it a point to come back home early and spend time with her...”
Suddenly, she grabbed Genevieve's shirt, appearing somewhat agitated. “I'm as fit as a fiddle, and my family doesn't have a history of illnesses. So tell me why my darling daughter has autism! Why does she ignore me?”
Already feeling weak from being drugged, Genevieve felt even more light-headed after getting shaken violently.
In an effort to stay conscious, she bit down hard on the tip of her tongue.
“Mrs. Wasco, a child could have autism due to many different factors. It's not a terminal illness, and there are treatments for it,” she said gently.
Brenda turned to Genevieve and shouted, “You're talking nonsense! If it's treatable, why can't I get her to calm down even though I gave birth to her, and she's my own flesh and blood?”
After a brief pause, she added angrily, “You're just like the other teachers. You harbor malicious intentions and are plotting to seduce my husband!”
I saw it before with my own eyes! I saw Shirley's music teacher strip naked inside our bedroom and throw herself at him! Jan and I got into a huge argument, and I forbade any other woman from entering the house. However, after telling me that I needed to rest and forcing me to return to my parents' house, Jan resumed his search for music teachers. Each was more beautiful than the last! I doubt he was genuinely looking for a music teacher. Instead, Jan was finding himself a second wife! He'd let her stay at our house and even divorce me...
Genevieve stared at her wordlessly. Not only is my ex-husband wealthier than your husband, but so is my older brother! Do I look crazy? Why would I want to seduce your husband?
