Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 665

Lucas Maddox was paralyzed with fear. With the gleaming blade resting against his face, one slip could easily slit his throat.

"So... so you had an ulterior motive from the very beginning. You never actually intended to work for me!" Lucas Maddox finally put the pieces together.

"Ha! You idiot. Do you really think I need your chump change? You thought tossing a little money my way would turn me into your loyal dog to bleed for you? You're delusional!"

Lucas Maddox was horrified. He really had been used!

No wonder ever since Viper showed up, he had constantly been pushing him to target Elena.

He was the one being played all along!

Knowing that Viper was a ruthless criminal, Lucas Maddox didn't dare push his luck and kept his mouth shut.

Still, the agonizing pain in his leg made him grit his teeth in torment.

He glanced at the wound; a chunk of flesh had been brutally torn away, leaving a gaping hole.

It was infuriating to even think about. That damn Sean—he should have ripped him to pieces.

Unfortunately, there hadn't been enough time.

Underwater, Elena felt the freezing, salty sea swallow her whole.

Even though she was holding her breath as hard as she could, her hands and feet were bound so tightly she couldn't move an inch.

She could only slowly wait for death to claim her.

Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore and gasped for air.

Seawater flooded into her lungs. Slipping into unconsciousness, she quietly closed her eyes.

This was probably the end of the line for her!

Surrounded by an impenetrable darkness, she felt like she was sinking into an endless abyss, completely utterly alone.

In her delirium, fragments of memories flashed through her mind.

"How could you be so cruel? Why!"

"I'm not a jinx! I'm not! I never did anything wrong!"

Then, the vision shifted. She saw her five brothers dead. Thomas Sterling was dead. Melissa had gone insane.

Elena began to laugh like a maniac.

Thomas Sterling's voice echoed, "Rot in hell, Elena! You killed our entire family!"

Melissa screamed, "Elena, you cursed brat, you'll burn in the deepest pits of hell!"

Her five brothers sneered, "We have no sister like you. You destroyed the Sterling family, and karma will come for you too! Hahaha!"

The voices of the Sterling family swirled endlessly around her. Watching them all die, Elena laughed until she cried.

She felt like a piece of driftwood tossed about in the dark waters—helpless, desperate for something to hold on to, but grasping nothing but empty sea.
