Reborn to Burn Them All novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Sophia pretended to be startled, letting out an exaggerated scream as she let go of the wheelchair and leaped onto the nearby stone bench.

Although Sophia managed to dodge in time, a few stray drops of acid still splashed onto her pants. The fabric began to disintegrate almost instantly, and she felt a sharp, stinging pain in her leg.

A blood curdling scream that Howard howled in agony. “No! My face!”

Ingrid didn’t recognize Howard. Seeing that Sophia had escaped, she checked the bottle. A few drops of acid remained. Consumed by resentment, she clenched it tighter, ready to strike again.

Sophia’s lips curled into a chilling smirk, her ice–cold gaze sending an involuntary shiver down Ingrid’s spine.

Ingrid shouted, “Sophia, you ruined Howard! I’ll ruin you.”

Sophia flashed a devilish grin and snapped open an extendable baton from her bag. A vicious swing sent Ingrid sprawling. The bottle shattered, acid splashing across the floor.

Sophia’s expression turned vicious as she yanked Ingrid by her hair, violently forcing her face toward the acid on the ground.“It hurts so much. Sophia, please let me go!” Ingrid shrieked in agony, sobbing uncontrollably.

Sophia slammed Ingrid down viciously, her knee digging into Ingrid’s back. Grabbing a fistful of her hair, she yanked her head up and hissed, “Look at who you just threw acid on.”

Ingrid looked with horror and misery. Howard, drenched in acid, collapsed from his wheelchair and writhed on the ground in agony, tears streaming down his face.

Sophia felt satisfied, her lips curling into a devilish smile as she leaned in and whispered, “That’s Howard. You just threw acid on him. It was you who ruined him.”

Ingrid froze, her eyes widening in disbelief. “No. It’s impossible.” She broke down sobbing, ignoring the searing pain in her body as she desperately scrambled toward Howard.

Sophia pinned Ingrid down, forcing her to watch as Howard she’d risked everything for, writhed in agony right before her eyes.

Sophia let out a low, unrestrained chuckle–a sound so deliberately hushed it turned sinister, sending chills down the spine.

Disfigurement was terrible for anyone, let alone for an idol like Howard, whose entire career depended on his looks.

Ingrid completely lost it, screaming hysterically, “No! No!”

Security guards and doctors arrived, visibly shocked by the scene. Sophia handed Ingrid over to the guards and instructed them to call the police.

The acid hit Howard square in the face, neck, and chest. In that instant, his mind went blank. He thought he was going to die.

Hospital gurneys rushed in and out in a flurry of activity. The emergency room doors slammed shut, and the operating light flickered on.

With everything prepared, Sophia finally called Heather. “Howard was splashed with acid by one of his fans. What do we do? Will he die?” Sophia’s tearful, helpless voice nearly made Heather faint on the spot.

Heather and Yvette were also at the hospital and arrived quickly. Heather rushed in, her hair disheveled, face deathly pale, and eyes red–rimmed from crying. Without a word, she lunged at Sophia, ready to slap her.

“Why did you bring Howard down the stairs? Did you do this on purpose?” Heather shrieked at Sophia, her voice trembling with rage.

Sophia caught Heather’s hand mid–swing/noting Heather’s sudden change in attitude. She glanced over at Yvette, who instinctively flinched away but straightened her back later, her eyes filled with a sneer.

Chapter 94

Sophia flung Heather’s hand away. Her voice turned icy as she warned, “Heather, think before you speak.”

Heather froze momentarily, then burst into tears.

Yvette said with feigned concefn, “Sophia, what exactly happened? Why would one of Howard’s fans suddenly throw acid at him?”

Sophia sneered, “Are you fucking stupid? Go ask the acid–thrower yourself.”

Yvette said with feigned innocence, “I didn’t mean anything by it. Just genuinely curious.”

Sophia scoffed, “You’re so curious about why she threw acid but not concerned about Howard’s injuries?”

“Stop faking it! You’re nothing but a jinx,” Yvette retorted.

Heather suddenly snapped back to reality, her heart still racing from panic. “How badly is he hurt?” she blurted out, her voice trembling.

Sophia said with feigned innocence, “How would I know? I was scared out of my mind.”

Heather instantly fell silent.

Just then, Sophia’s phone rang. “Sophia! Are you okay?” Charlotte’s voice was urgent, every

word dripping with concern.

Sophia’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she remained silent for a long moment.

Charlotte’s voice rose in alarm through the phone. “Are you hurt? Can you speak? Are you at the hospital? I’m coming right now!”

Sophia tightened her grip on the phone as she glanced at the scattered acid drops on her leg. If Charlotte hadn’t mentioned it, Sophia wouldn’t have cared. She replied, “Charlotte, I’m fine. It’s Howard who got hurt.”

Twenty minutes later, Charlotte rushed into the hospital, out of breath.

“Sophia!” Charlotte rushed out of the elevator, out of breath and sweating profusely, her face deathly pale. She grabbed Sophia and frantically looked her over from head to toe.

Charlotte’s brow furrowed as she noticed the acid–burned holes in Sophia’s pants. “You’re hurt,” she said, her voice tight with concern.

Sophia felt a lump form in her throat at the sight of Charlotte’s concern. “Charlotte, how did you get here so fast?”
