Why, one would wonder!
Tessa, initially overcome with fright, couldn’t hold back her scream but swiftly
regained her composure and responded with a curse, “Don’t be so shameless!
That old woman's demise was due to her frail condition. How does it relate to
me?
Furthermore, your grandma was already in her eighties. Isn't it natural for the
elderly to pass away at such an age? She had been languishing in the nursing
house for quite some time. Could you afford to continue her treatment? To some
extent, you should be grateful to me. How could you treat me like this.
“Shut the fucking up!” Luciana was on the brink of slapping Tessa, but Raegan
acted swiftly. Raegan lunged forward, her fingers wrapping around Tessa’s throat
with a grip akin to a furious beast.

Her slender fingers paled, and the blue veins on her hands bulged as a torrent of
pain, anger, and suppressed hatred gushed forth.
Why? Why must she endure such a fate?
Her grandmother had led an honest, diligent life. Despite her early widowhood
and the loss of her son, she never voiced a complaint about life’s unfairness. She
maintained a positive outlook and did her utmost to raise Raegan.
Even in her final moments, she held no grudge but expressed trust in Raegan
and sorrow for her...
Why did such a loving, kind soul have to go through this misfortune?
Why, in her last moments, did she have to witness her granddaughter’s character
being slandered and besmirched by these wicked individuals?
Why? It just wasn’t fair!
Why should her dead grandmother suffer such an indignity?
How could the instigator behave with such recklessness, as if nothing had
happened? As a victim of injustice, why should she bear the guilt for her
grandmother's death?
With immense strength, Raegan rasped, “Who gave you the right to utter those
words? As a murderer, you've no place to speak like this!”
Under Raegan’s relentless grip, Tessa’s pallor shifted to purple, her eyes bulging
with fear. Tessa fought back violently, but her hands eventually fell limp at her
sides.
Kenia wailed, tugging at Raegan’s hand, screaming, “Help! Someone, please
help!”
But at this moment, Raegan’s fingers felt as though they were glued on Tessa’s
neck, impervious to being pulled away.
Kenia, petrified, collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down her face.
“Ah... Someone's killing my daughter... This deranged woman is killing my girl...”
Just as the situation reached its breaking point, someone intervened, stopping
Raegan’s actions and breaking the impasse.
“Raegan! Are you trying to kill her?” Mitchel cried out furiously.
Mitchel felt like an invisible hand clutched his heart hard. It hurt so bad that he
could hardly breathe.
He knew Raegan well. She had always been a gentle person. How could she be
forced into this situation?
Tessa, who had a narrow escape from death, finally regained her breathing. She
coughed violently.
