“Why not? This is your grandma, isn’t it only right to take them as your wedding gift? If we just leave it buried, someone els will dig it up anyway.” Julia said.
Isabelle pretended to accept, putting on an act. “Thanks, Grandma!”
Julia pointed at the pit, her eyes practically popping out. “There’s a ton of good staff buried down there! Hurry up and dig! This stuff could be worth a fortune!”
Michael couldn’t help but grin, digging even harder.
David grabbed another shovel and headed over to Jacob’s grave, stomping his foot to mark the spot before driving the hovel into the ground.
What the hell are you doing?” Natalie shouted.
As soon as she showed up, she saw them digging up her grandma and grandpa’s graves, and there was a huge hole night in ront of her grandma’s grave.
tage boiled in her veins, her eyes flashing with icy fury. Acting on pure anger, she kicked Michael straight in the chest.
Before anyone could react, Michael went flying like a kite with its string cut, rolling down the hillside until he crashed into ine tree, spitting blood. He was down for the count.
David had just turned to look when Natalie snatched the shovel from his hand and brought it down hard on his shoulder. The sound of his bone breaking rang out across the silent hillside.
He let out a scream, clutching his shoulder as he dropped to his knees.
ulia, terrified by Natalie’s rage, shrieked and tried to run, but Natalie grabbed her by the collar, dragged her back, and lelivered a backhanded slap across her face.
The blow spun Julia around before she crashed to the ground, her lip split, blood and teeth spilling from her mouth.
sabelle was so terrified she collapsed to the ground, the wooden box slipping from her hands and spilling jade jewelry all wer the dirt.
Natalie was shaking, staring at the grave goods they were holding, with more items still lying by the pit, freshly dug up but lot yet taken.
der eyes blazed with undisguised killing intent. There was no hiding it.
sabelle was frozen by that stare, trembling all over, her lips quivering as she tried to speak, but not a single word come out
She had never seen Natalie like this before. Gone was her usual cold indifference. This was real, raw murderous ment
sabelle was convinced that if Natalie had a knife right now, she’d go for her without a second thought
Natalie bent down and picked up the jade jewelry from the dirt. piece by piece.
She carefully placed them back into the wooden box and closed the hid
Then Natalie stood up, giving the group on the ground a cold, deadly glare
David was kneeling, clutching his shoulder, his face as pale es a ghost, cold sweat dripping down his forehead

Mahael lay at the bottom of the slope, blood oozing from his mouth, completely unable to move
Julia held her face, blood seeping through her fingers, so stutined she couldn’t even make a sound.
Isabelle had collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
Natalie gave them a quick once-over, then walked over to Matilda Moore’s grave, clutching the wooden box. She crouched down, buried the box in the pit, and started filling it back in, scooping up the dirt handful by handful
She moved slowly and gently, smoothing the earth over the grave. When she finished, Natalie knelt in front of Matilda s grave and pressed her forehead to the ground, then finally stood up.
Her face was frighteningly calm, as if nothing had happened at all. But if Blondie were here, he’d know she was truly furious
Natalie almost never lost her temper. The last time she did was when she was sixteen, back in Liben Land.
While she was away, international terrorists launched a surprise attack on their organization, blowing up the camp, injuring over twenty of her brothers, and killing eight.
When she came back and saw blood and bodies everywhere, her expression was as cold and lifeless as a stagnant pond.
Then, all by herself, she wiped out the entire enemy base in less than two days. Overnight, every terrorist in Liben Land was wiped out, no one survived.
After that, no one ever dared to mess with her people again.
Natalie turned around. David and Michael were both badly hurt, still stuck where they were, unable to move at all.
ulia and Isabelle rushed over to help them, desperate to get out of there as fast as possible.
When they saw Natalie walking toward them like the Grim Reaper, they were gripped by a fear that came from deep within.
ulia, clutching David for support, stumbled backward, her voice shaking. “Natalie, don’t do anything crazy! This is assault. We’re calling the police! I’m serious, don’t push your luck!”
David, fueled by pain and anger, shot Natalie a furious glare.
What gives you the right to hit us? You’re not even family. Why are you sticking your nose in our business?
This is my mother, Michael’s grandmother! You got kicked out of the Grant family a long time ago. None of this has anything to do with you!”
Natalie stopped right in front of him, her face cold and unreadable. She leaned in, grabbed his collar with an aon grip and dragged him like he was nothing all the way to Matikla’s grave.
She hurled him to the ground, and David’s shoulder slammed into the dirt. He screamed in agony, crumpling in pam
She stomped down hard on his injured shoulder, the force so brutal you could hear the sickening crunch of bone and squelch of blood.
David howled in pain, clawing desperately at Natalie’s leg
“Your own mother? Even your own mother’s grave, you’d dig it up?” Natalie sneered, her voice cold as ice, every word stabbing into David’s ears.
“Are you even worthy to call her ‘Mom’?”

Isabelle and Julia were so scared their legs turned to jelly. They wanted to stop her, but they couldn’t even move
Natalie ignored his desperate pleas and went straight to Michael. She bent down, rabbed his collar, and dragged him up from the dirt, hauling him over to Matilda’s grave. Then she dumped hita right next to David
Michael lay on the ground, blood oozing from his mouth, his whole body shaking, fear clear in his eyes
“Even when Grandma was dying, she couldn’t trust you her own son. She went out of her way to ask me to look after the Grant family, but you guys didn’t appreciate it at all. Your conscience is gone. You actually dared to dig up her grave and disturb her peace!
“So today, I’m going to teach you disgraceful children a lesson on her behalf!”
After finishing her words, Natalie stomped down hard on Michael’s hand, grinding her heel in for good measure
Michael let out a gut-wrenching scream as the skin on his hand tore open, blood oozing between his fingers. He was shaking from the pain, but he couldn’t even muster the strength to pull his hand back.
Natalie released her foot, grabbed the shovel nearby, and with terror blazing in David and Michael’s eyes, brought it down with brutal force right onto their kneecaps.
Their screams and Natalie’s furious words echoed across the silent hillside.
“When Grandma was alive, did any of you from the Grant family ever come to see her?
“When she was sick, where were you? When she died, where were you? She’s been buried here for years. Has any of you ever come here for her?
“The first time you show up, you dig up her grave. You really have no shame!”
No one answered. No one dared to answer.
David lay face-down on the ground, blood from his shoulder soaking through his clothes. The pain was so overwhelming he was barely conscious.
Natalie’s pale clothes, along with her neck, cheeks, and hands, were covered in blood.
