She knew exactly how to push her over the precipice and ensure she never climbed back out.
The sight of the woman caused Helena's entire body to lock into agonizing rigidity.
Flashes of Hope assaulted her mind.
Then came the memory of Rosalie's blood pooling on the pavement.
Followed by the thought of Rhonda, her bright future stolen, now trapped in a vegetative state.
And the brutal reality of Wynn's senseless death.
A relentless barrage of sheer agony.
Her breaths came in sharp, jagged gasps as she stared at the woman, entirely paralyzed.
Janetta casually strolled toward her. "Relax. I'm not stupid enough to risk my own life by touching you here."
She spoke of murder as if discussing the weather. "But anyone who gets in my way is going to be erased, understand? I even tried to frame you for that little stunt at the park, but unfortunately, you slipped through the cracks. What a shame."
Helena remained completely mute, her mind stretched to a terrifyingly thin wire.
Janetta stopped just inches away from her face.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to know what happened to that little bastard's ashes?" she sneered.
"You think we'd keep something so cursed around? You think the Hayes family would allow it? Grace is still in charge. Do you really believe Sebastian would cross his own mother for that thing?" Her eyes darkened with cruel triumph.
"That cheap little urn... tsk, the ashes inside were tossed out like garbage. Dumped straight into the trash compactor. They're probably scattered across a landfill by now. Filth like that deserves to be erased from existence. It wasn't fit to be reincarnated as a stray dog, let alone a human."
"..."
"If she wants someone to blame, she should blame you for giving birth to her. If you were truly smart, you would have aborted that mistake when you had the chance, understand?"
Every word was a calculated, lethal strike.
Designed specifically to shatter what was left of Helena's sanity.
She didn't lay a single finger on her.
Yet she dealt a more devastating blow than any physical assault could have.
