Louise was Carrie’s flesh and blood, and Carrie panicked as well, looking hurriedly at Alan, who was still fuming.
“Dad, Louise is just a kid. How about you let her off this time … that Blanca is fine, right? We’re all family. No need to make things so tense.”
“Just a kid? Isn’t Blanca just a kid, too?”
Blanca had already heard the commotion. She had Matthew help her out of the bedroom and into the living room.
“Grandpa.”
“What are you doing outside, Blanca? Get back in there and rest.”
“I’m fine…”
“You’re fine this time because you got lucky. What if you had no luck?” Alan looked at Louise again. “Take her inside, Johnson!”
Mr. Johnson’s face was cold as he grabbed Louise’s arm. “Let’s go, Miss Louise.”
After Louise was taken away, Blanca was surprised that Alan would punish his granddaughter so harshly. She’d just wanted to show Alan Louise’s true face, and have him scold her a bit so she’d wise up.
Now that Louise was being literally refrigerated, Blanca did feel it was sweet getting back at her, but she also knew that it was torture. She was about to ask Alan not to shut Louise in too long. It wouldn’t do to actually kill her.
She’d just said the word “Grandpa” when she was cut off.
“Rest up, Blanca. No need to concern yourself with Louise. She’s gone too far this time. No matter what, I have to teach her a lesson, or she would only make bigger problems one day.”
