Winner Takes All novel Chapter 399

Kaboom…

It was approaching the autumn rainy season. The dark clouds started to gather making the night feel even more ominous. The thunders rolled and echoed amongst the dark clouds. It looked like it would rain at any moment.

The night breeze was cool and blew the tree leaves all around. Several bright lights appeared in the forest. A slender figure twisted and worked in the dark.

Clunk… clunk…

Elissa’s eyes were bloodshot as she swung the hoe. There already was a pile of soil around her feet. The soil of the grave accumulated on the side. She was drenched in sweat, huffing and panting, but continued to dig tirelessly.

She looked like she was in a trance as she glanced at Sophie’s image etched onto the tombstone. Elissa’s body shuddered and felt terrified. The dim and ominous lights around and the sound of leaves rustling in the wind sent chills down her spine.

Thud!

Elissa stomped onto the tombstone and yelled, “Fucking slut! You deserved to die. I could do anything to you when you were alive and even if you are dead, I could still desecrate your grave!” Her bloodshot eyes looked erratic and wild.

Elissa felt spooked every time she looked at Sophie’s image on the tombstone. She clenched her teeth and used the hoe to smash the tombstone where Sophie’s image was and shattered into pieces.

Following that… Clunk!

Elissa swung the hoe on the tombstone and after about ten times, the tombstone fell to the ground. Then, Elissa continued to clench her teeth and dig the grave.

“I’ll dig you out and use your ashes to threaten that useless Jack for the money. I’m sure he’ll give me the money!”

Elisa dug as she cursed like a lunatic, “That useless Jack thought that he can bully our family. He tricked Katherine into divorce. Fuck you. Do you take me for a fool?”

“What good are tens of millions of yuan? It’s not even enough for me to gamble. This time I must get another hundred million yuan!”

“If he doesn’t give, if that fool dares to refuse me, then I will scatter your ashes! No, he will give the money, that fool is filial to you. Even if you are a pile of ashes, he will still be filial to you.” Her words were vile and vicious. She had lost her sanity.

At this point, Elissa was forced to the limit and she had no way out. She wanted money, she wanted a lot a lot of money! Only in this way could she repay her debts and still live a life of extravagance.

It was easy to go from a life of frugality to luxury but the reverse was difficult. Not only was she afraid of death, but she was also terrified that she would have to go back to her old days.

“I’ve suffered enough!” She yelled.

Then, chunk!

As the hoe descended, it shattered a cement block and then the sound of porcelain could be heard. The sound was music to Elissa’s ears. Her eyes lit up and immediately became overjoyed.

She was totally unafraid as she snarled, “I’ve finally dug you up. Sophie, you slut, you finally can contribute to my family.”

Elissa wiped the sweat off her face, threw down the hoe, and cleaned her hands of the dirt.

She pulled out an urn but part of the urn had been broken by the hoe. She could see the white ashes inside.

Katherine was in a daze as she sat behind. She stared blankly into the distance as if her soul had left her body. Next to her feet was a large LV bag and inside was full of offerings and a bowl of piping hot rice.

She couldn’t bear to and she wasn’t ready to accept what was about to happen but she was helpless to prevent it. Lyndall was now her backing and he had already gone to Jack’s side.

What her mother did was abominable.

Even though she said that she had broken off relations with Elissa, she still was Elissa’s flesh and blood and couldn’t bear to see her getting harmed.

But now, she knew… that on this trip, she was going to send her mother on a new journey…

Kaboom…

The rolling thunders woke Katherine.

Her body shuddered, her eyes were red and filled with tears as she looked to Lyndall, “Lyndall… isn’t there any other …” Before she could finish.

Lyndall shook his head and laughed as he turned to Willy and asked, “Willy, if someone were to desecrate your mother’s grave and scatter her ashes, what would you do?”

Willy was shocked and he hesitated but he didn’t think twice and replied, “I’ll kill his entire family!”

Lyndall smiled coldly as he turned his head slowly to look at Katherine, “Look, Mr. Hughes is already very magnanimous.”
