Chapter 999

There wasn’t even the slightest hint of fear shown on Renee’s face. She even burst out laughing, asthough she wasn’t being held captive.

“You b*tch. How could you laugh in the face of death?!” Seraphina fumed, slapping Renee across theface as hard as she could. “What’s so funny, huh? Are you not scared?!”

A red slap mark slowly appeared on Renee’s fair skin, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.It seemed quite painful, yet she didn’t even furrow her brows. Instead, the woman continued laughingloudly.

“Hahaha, I’m laughing because of your stupidity. You’re the one staring in the face of death, yet you stillact like you have the upper hand! Isn’t that hilarious?”

“You… What do you mean by that?! I’m doing just fine! How dare you curse me?!” Seraphina wasactually feeling quite guilty from the start, and hearing Renee’s words took her aback.

Despite this, she still intended to slap Renee once more, but it was no match for the woman’s greatreflexes. She kicked her in the gut, sending Seraphina stumbling backward.

“Argh!” Seraphina yelped, her face twisted as she clutched her stomach as though her organs wereruptured.

She pointed towards Renee with a shaky finger. “You… You…”

“Seraphina Murphy, we shouldn’t have any animosity towards each other. You don’t have to kill me overa man.”

“Besides, if something were to happen to me, my brother would be the first to come after you. My otherfriends too. For example, my best friends, Leia and Liam, would also do whatever it takes to seeknovelbin

revenge on you. So tell me, do you still think you’re doing just fine?” Renee asked as she glared atSeraphina, who was still retching from the pain.

Even though she was still in chains, her unsympathetic boldness was enough to strike fear in justanyone.

Seraphina was alarmed, taking a few steps back to ensure Renee couldn’t attack her again. She thencontinued speaking with a cocky attitude. “Sure, we didn’t have anything against each other back then.We may have been rivals, but I never wanted to take your life either.”

“But ever since that night, I swore to send you straight to hell, even if it costs my life!”

“No, you wouldn’t dare.” Renee was confident. “Francine just warned you not to. She needed me alive.”

“You’re right. I can tell that Francine is still softhearted towards you. That’s why she let me deal withyou instead. That also means I am the one to decide your fate… Do you really think I’d ever let go ofsuch a great opportunity?”

Seeing how Seraphina was determined to murder her, Renee didn’t want to persuade her any longer.However, she couldn’t understand what had happened ‘that night.’

‘What happened for her to hate me this much?’ She wondered.

“Whatever. I’m not going to waste any more energy with you if you’re so adamant. Just remember thatthis will bring you consequences. But I’d just like to know why. At least give me some closure beforekilling me off.” Renee said nonchalantly, folding her arms in front of her chest. She looked as if she hadactually given up.

“Hmph, I don’t know why you’re still putting up an act. You know exactly what I’ve been through. Don’tthink I don’t know you’re just using your demented brother to cover up your crimes and that hideous

evil heart of yours!” Seraphina shrieked as her mind returned to that traumatic event, shivering with apained expression.

“You’re a woman too! How can you even sleep at night after using such a horrible way to seek revengeon me?!”

“I’ll admit I used a lot of tricks to ruin your relationship with Stefan, but you could’ve just taken him backif you had what it takes! Why did you have to… make your brother hire those dirty men?! Did you knowhow miserable I felt when I was assaulted?!”

“That was when I swore to myself that I had to seek revenge. I wanted to find hundreds and thousandsof dirty, disgusting men to kill you the same way you killed my soul!” Seraphina’s eyes reddened withextreme resentment.

“Wh… What?” Renee was initially rather relaxed. However, hearing Seraphina’s wailing, her face wasimmediately consumed by disbelief and sobriety. “You mean… my brother… had some people do…that to you?”
