Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Threat

Rebecca suddenly hurled the wine glass in her hand to the floor and shouted, “Agnes! You sick, twisted bitch!

“You sabotaged everything back then, forcing my daughter and me apart and making sure the Nolans wouldn’t acknowledge her.

“Ethan is still lying in that hospital! Why won’t you let us go? Haveri’t you done enough to destroy our family?”

Agnes said, “Rebecca, you still don’t get it. Who’s the one that won’t let go?

“You brought all of this on yourself. This is what you deserve.

“You’re not lucky. You’re being punished!”

Silence fell on the other end. Rebecca’s whole body trembled, her eyes bloodshot.

It looked like she might crush the phone in her hand.

After a long moment, her tone suddenly shifted, turning low and submissive.

“I’m sorry, Agnes. I got too worked up just now.

“I called you today because I wanted to talk things through, but look at me, I lost control again.”

She paused, then forced a stiff smile.

“Agnes, can you give Ethlyn back to me? You know blood ties can’t be broken. Blood is thicker than water.

“I’m not asking for anything else. I just want to be with my child.

“From now on, I’ll take her and leave Grandridge. I’ll disappear and never show up in front of you again.

“Please, Agnes. Just trust me one more time. Forgive me once. swear I’m telling the truth this me

Agnes wasn’t naive. She knew Rebecca wouldn’t give up that easily.

She had escaped from a place like that mountain dump and even gone as far as changing her face.

That showed just how ruthless and driven she was.

If Agnes wanted a peaceful afe and to get rid of this nightmare for good, Rebecca had to face the law

Agnes said, “I can arrange for you to see Ethlyn, but on one condition: you turn yourself m.

“After you do, I’ll bring her to visit you from time to time.”

Rebecca said, “Visit me? You want my child to come to a place like prison and see me there?

“See her mother in handcuffs, wearing prison clothes?”

Her voice rose, filled with anger.

“You’ve already beaten and abused her, and now you want to leave scars on her mind too.

“Agnes, you’re cruel.”

Agnes said helplessly, “If that’s how you see it, there’s nothing I can do. I’ll give you time to think. Call m when you’ve made your decision.”

Rebecca let out a cold laugh and said slowly, “You think having my daughter gives you leverage over me? You think I’ll just obey you?

Rebecca chuckled. “Relax, Agnes. He’s just fine.

“Since he’s your dad, of course, I’m taking good care of him. We’re like sisters, after all.”

Agues said, “What do you want? Whatever is between us has nothing to do with anyone else let him go.

Rebecca’s expression turned cold, her voice sharp.

“Nothing to do with anyone else?

“Fine. Bring Ethlyn to me and I’ll trade your dad for my daughter.”

Agnes fell silent for a long moment. She had no idea how Calvin ended up in Rebecca’s hands.

With the level of hatred Rebecca had for her, every second Calvin stayed with her was another second of danger.

But she didn’t believe for a second that Rebecca only wanted a simple exchange.

Rebecca had escaped from a police car and somehow taken Calvin with her, all while casually calling her.

Whatever was behind this, however deep it went, and whoever was supporting her, it was not to be taken… lightly.

Agnes pretended to give in and said quietly, “Time and place.”

Rebecca laughed. “I knew you’d come see me.

“Tonight at 8 p.m. Hale Pharmaceuticals, top floor. Don’t be late.”

Before Agnes could speak, the line went dead with a series of beeps.
