No one could have anticipated the development of events leading to this outcome. Except for Vicki, who remained calm and composed throughout the ordeal. While everyone else present was in a state of panic, Vicki, with a desolate gaze, watched Fox without a hint of disturbance.
At this moment, Fox's eyes were wide open, bloodshot veins coursing through them. Her meticulously made-up face contorted in a grimace of pain. A dagger was stabbed into her chest, nearly piercing her heart, leaving only the metallic hilt protruding, chillingly exposed.
At first, she felt no pain, only disbelief. Her eyes filled with terror and profound sorrow, she stared directly at Seren. This was the man to whom she had devoted everything since her teenage years, the man she had borne a son for, the man for whom she had deceived the entire Saunders family, resorting to any means necessary for power and influence. She had gambled away her very existence for the sake of a lifetime with him.
And yet, it was him, who had plunged the dagger into her heart with his own hands, without a shred of hesitation or the slightest trace of mercy, only disdain akin to how one treats garbage. Fox covered her chest, feeling the pain for the first time. She sensed the coldness, a piercing ache coursing through her limbs, penetrating her bones and marrow. Then came the coldness, bone-chilling coldness that made her tremble, like a withering leaf on the verge of being swept away by the wind.
Fresh blood gushed out incessantly, soaking her clothes, staining her pants, dripping onto the ground, gradually forming a pool of crimson.
Her trembling lips quivered as she struggled to speak, mustering all her strength to utter, "You... How could you... want... my life..."
She couldn't complete a single sentence, like a flickering candle.
Suddenly, Seren forcefully pulled out the dagger, and in an instant, blood sprayed everywhere, even splattering onto Seren's face. With a look of disgust, Seren retrieved a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping the blood off his face, before casually tossing it aside.
The last glimmer of light faded from Fox's eyes, and with a resounding thud, she collapsed into the pool of blood. Her artery had been pierced, her heart ceased to beat. Her once vibrant face was now filled with terror, regret, and reluctance.
Silent and motionless, she stared wide-eyed, as if frozen in time.
Everything happened too quickly, leaving everyone around in shock.
Everyone assumed that Fox belonged to Seren, especially since she had given birth to their son. But no one could have expected that Seren would be the one to ruthlessly kill Fox, discarding her like a used tool, cast aside without a second thought.
Bride witnessed her mother's murder, and her shock was overwhelming. She suddenly burst into tears, crying out, "Mom, Mom, don't, don't die."
Although her mother had never shown her any maternal love, Bride still held illusions and emotions for her. Being inherently kind-hearted, witnessing her mother's death was an unbearable reality.
She cried and struggled, trying to crawl towards Fox. But the black-clad person pointing the gun at her ruthlessly kicked her, sending her tumbling to the ground. She could only watch her mother take her last breath not far away.
Felix also never expected things to turn out this way.
