Female Novel
Chapter 949
Sabrina’s breath caught in her throat as she slowly rose to her feet and limped towards Galilea.
With a triumphant smile, Galilea stood and delivered a forceful slap to Sabrina’s face.
Her hand connected with Sabrina’s cheek in a sharp, stinging slap, the force of it sending Sabrinastumbling backward on her injured right foot.
Sabrina’s left cheek throbbed with a burning pain, the skin swollen and tender. The entire left side ofher face, from her cheekbone to the root of her ear, felt like it was on fire.
Her back was wet with sweat, and her hair tangled and bloodied.
Dazed, Sabrina slowly pushed herself up from the floor and sat back on the sofa. In a hoarse voice,she said, “Can we get down to business now?”
As she glanced at Sabrina, who looked miserable and in pain, Galilea felt a surge of satisfaction. “Thekidnappers have been on the loose for so many years. It doesn’t matter to me anymore. I buried thehatchet many years ago. Why should I ask for trouble now?”
Sabrina pursed her lips, then said, “Is it because you’re afraid of stirring up trouble? Or that you don’twant to help me? Those kidnappers have committed heinous crimes. Don’t you want them to facejustice? I believe you should understand why I’ve come to you.”
“Oh, I understand everything. The chief briefed me. You want the kidnappers apprehended and arealso tracing the driver who killed your father. But what of it? That was your father, not mine. I have nodesire to assist you. What did you expect?” A disdainful smile played on Galilea’s face.
The depth of the father-daughter relationship was evident.
Galilea’s eyes gleamed with cruel anticipation as she thought of when Sabrina would discover thatConner wasn’t her biological father.novelbin
It would be a sight to behold.
Galilea’s disdainful attitude fueled Sabrina’s growing annoyance.
Holding back her anger, Sabrina said in a controlled voice, “My father became a target because hewanted to rescue the hostage quickly and took photos of the kidnappers. He died because of you. If hewasn’t killed in the accident, the kidnappers might already be in jail. I don’t expect you to thank him, butdon’t you have any sympathy for him? Can’t you fathom the loss of a man dedicated to justice andcaring for others, his death shrouded in mystery?”
With a mocking smile, Galilea responded, “You know what? I still don’t care.”
She tilted her head to observe Sabrina and raised her eyebrows to convey her indifference.
The corner of Sabrina’s mouth twitched.
She glared at Galilea, seething. Only by clenching her fists could she restrain the urge to slap her.
Sabrina’s heart sank. There was no hope that Galilea would testify.
She could only hope that Murray wouldn’t deceive her and that he could bring Hobson back to thecountry.
At that moment, Sabrina’s phone buzzed.
It was a reply from Murray.
