Gasping through the agonizing pain, Everly forced out her last words. “It turns out Lilian was right. I was just a pawn to you. A piece you could move however you liked, and one you’d toss aside the moment it suited you. My entire life, I walked the path you chose. I never disobeyed. Even later, for the sake of the family, I followed your orders and sold myself piece by piece until there was nothing left of me. I never complained because I thought we were family. I never imagined you didn’t have a single shred of love for me. How pathetic. Maybe dying is for the best… at least it’s an escape. If there’s a next life, I only hope to be an ordinary girl, even if I’m poor.”

Her body went limp as she slumped to the floor. Her eyes slowly drifted shut, and a single tear traced a path down her cheek, disappearing into her hair.

The room was paralyzed with shock. No one expected Cary to actually pull the trigger on his own granddaughter. They knew the old man was cold, but this was a level of depravity that turned their stomachs.

Lilian was stunned as well. She had wanted to teach Everly a lesson, but she never imagined Cary would literally execute her just because her beauty was gone. Though the shot hadn’t hit a vital organ, Cary’s callousness was more lethal than the bullet itself. Looking at Everly now, Lilian felt a wave of profound pity.

Everly had been born into the Chris family, surrounded by wealth and power that most people could only dream of, yet she lacked even the most basic freedom. She never had the chance to love, marry, or live like a normal woman. Her entire existence had been under someone else’s thumb. Truly, even the most hateful people often have a story that breaks your heart.

Will finally snapped out of his trance. Seeing his daughter crumpled on the floor, he rushed to her side, gathering her up and shaking her frantically. “Everly! Everly!”

He had never been a particularly affectionate father, but seeing her life draining away sent a surge of panic through him. She was his flesh and blood, after all. In the Chris family, daughters were the lowest form of currency, but he didn’t want to see her die like this; especially not at the hands of his own father.

“Dad, how could you?” Will cried out, his voice thick with emotion. “She’s your granddaughter! Even if she isn’t ‘useful‘ to you anymore, you can’t just kill her!”

Cary turned his sharp, predatory gaze toward his son. “What, are you going to defy me now, too? Let me tell you something: no one in this world threatens me. She was stupid enough to try, and she’s lucky she’s getting off this easy. For a useless fool like her, this is the only logical end. A broken pawn is better off in the trash.”
