Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1222

Family?

Hearing that word, a deeply sarcastic smirk curled on Theia's lips as she spoke slowly. "My parents are probably quite lonely down there. Since you're so desperate for family, why don't you go join them?"

Corvus's smile froze as he stared darkly at the beaming woman.

"But then again, they probably wouldn't want to see an ungrateful son like you anyway." Theia sneered, continuing mercilessly. "Corvus, get used to dying alone. You deserve it."

"Heh."

Listening to Theia's biting sarcasm, Corvus ground his back teeth, suppressing his anger. "No wonder Specter has such a sharp tongue. She gets it from you."

"Is that so?"

Thinking of her daughter, Theia's heart softened slightly, though her smile remained cold. "Of course my daughter takes after me."

Corvus felt a pang of discomfort.

It was true.

He was jealous.

Jealous that Silas Blackwood and Theia had produced such a formidable daughter.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The bumpy car ride finally came to a halt.

Theia opened her eyes to see a pristine, beautiful white villa standing by the beach.

It looked exactly like the one Corvus had destroyed over a decade ago.

Only...

Even if it was an exact replica, it was no longer the gift her parents had given her.

"Do you like it?" Corvus opened the car door, gazing at her tenderly.

"I like it about as much as I like a root canal," Theia replied flatly, standing stiffly.

The art of language was fully displayed at this moment.

Corvus understood the insult, but he didn't get angry.

She had always had a fiery temper since they were kids.

He was used to it.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

Theia stood her ground, her entire body radiating resistance.

"Theia, don't make me angry." Corvus waved the detonator in his hand.

If it blew...

She would die right alongside him.

Heh.
