Chapter 1537
However, Renee knew that something must be troubling Tess, so she didn't want to ask her anything further.
In the afternoon, Margaret came home with the two children, and Tess clocked out of work. Tess carried her bag and walked on
the empty street with a troubled mind. Every step she took felt heavy. When she reached the door of her house, someone
blocked her way.
"Did you do what I asked you to?” The woman wore black clothes and a large hat that hid more than half of her scarred face.
"I did what you asked. When are you going to let my mother go?” Tess sobbed as she begged the woman.
"Keep doing it. I'll let your mother go in ten days.” The woman grabbed Tess’ collar and threatened her, "Don't you dare play any
tricks, you hear? Your mother is doomed if you miss a day or add a lower dosage. Do you understand?"
"Y-Yes." Tess swallowed and dared not disobey her. Only then did the woman let her go, and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Tess stopped her.
"What do you want?”
"I want to ask what kind of grudge you hold against Ms. Everheart. She looks very kind, and she's blind now. She's very pitiful, so
why... do you want to do that to her?" Tess summoned her courage and asked the woman. She felt guilty since she was
technically helping the woman harm Renee. If she didn't even know why she was doing it, she was afraid it would be too much
for her one day.
"Hmph! Kind?" The woman stopped, and her eyes gleamed with malice. "Do you think she's a good person? You can't even
imagine the bad things she did and the people she harmed.”
“That's impossible. She didn't look like a bad person. Is there a misunderstanding between you two? If there is, why don't you
resolve it with her face-to-face? You'll be implicated too if you take revenge on her like this, don't you think?" Tess tried to
persuade the woman so she could save her, Renee, and herself.
"I'm fine with it. After all, I died once. My only wish now is to see Renee fall into hell even if I go down with her." The woman said
and laughed bitterly. She took off her hat and pointed at the scars on her face.
"Look at my scars—it’s all because of her. Do you know what it feels like to fall off a hundred-meter cliff and get internal bleeding
and bone fractures?” She pointed at her crippled left leg and her right hand which was also scarred.
Coldly, she elaborated, "I experienced it once. It was very painful, both body and soul. I even wanted to kill myself... but I
soldiered through it. I won't let her have it easy. If I die, I would've suffered for nothing.”
Briar's eyes were bloodshot as she recalled those painful memories. She had wanted to push Renee off the cliff, but Renee had
accidentally pushed her off the cliff instead. She thought she was doomed, but a fisherman had come along and saved her. After
that, she had to stay in bed for half a year to let her body recover.
She didn't know if that made her lucky or not.
During that half a year, she bided her time until she could finally make Renee experience hell.
