Chapter 1622
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; a ruthless person should be handled by another ruthless person.Jacqueline couldn't believe her ears when Leia requested to have her handed over.Even if the Fordhams resented her to the bones, they upheld morality. But Leia was different. She was the most cruel person among the researchers in Toxic Hive.To make things worse, Jacqueline had a record of harming Avery and lying to her. Leia would never let Jacqueline off the hook that easily.On top of that, Leia wouldn't show mercy when it came to the interrogation. Jacqueline was dead meat."No, Dad! Guys, don't hand me over to her for old times' sake. She's a monster!"The Fordhams, who were hesitant at first, made up their mind when they noticed how much Leia feared Jacqueline.Wearing a lifeless expression, Leia slowly walked up to Jacqueline.Jacqueline attempted to escape, but Linus was quick enough to yank her back. The murderous intent loomed over her.His towering stature and

Olivia's sole wish was to reunite with her real family, nothing more. She didn't expect David to prepare such a huge gift!She had come so close to death several times in life until this day came, the day she found her real family. Money and assets didn't appear to be that important compared to family. Avery stroked her head. "Don't see it as a burden. We weren't by your side during your hardest time. We weren't part of your life journey."Sean hugged her too. "It won't be that way anymore. You have us now, your family."That was the word she wanted to hear the most—family.Olivia hugged them back and couldn't fight back her tears anymore.She had grown stronger, but she couldn't seem to control her emotions these days.Things were not as bad as they seemed.Quietly, Linus watched the family reunion. He was genuinely happy for Olivia.Although she had reunited with the Heath family back in Aldenvine, Linus could tell that she held a regret that couldn't seem to go away.No

Dark clouds layered even before the night dawned. It was going to rain soon.Olivia rushed to the mansion in the suburbs. Before she arrived, she could already see men guarding the area.Other than men from the Fordham family, some bodyguards worked for the Miller and Heath families.Jacqueline was "lucky" in a sense.Men from three families watched the vicinity. Not even a rat could sneak into the building.Kelvin opened the car door. Ethan got out of the car with Willow in his arms.She was an independent child, but he was used to carrying her around. "Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller, Ms. Willow." It warmed Kelvin's heart to see them together.Everyone knew what kind of hardships they had gone through to come this far.Finally, there was a rainbow after the rain."How's Jacqueline doing?""Ms. Leia is inside. She doesn't allow us to enter, but…" Kelvin paused momentarily. "I don't think Jacqueline's doing fine. We can hear her screaming from the outside. Ms. Leia is one cruel wom
Chapter 1625
Olivia walked toward Jacqueline. Awkwardness and guilt filled Leia when she noticed Olivia's presence. Olivia was her sister-in-law, yet she drove the couple to a divorce with her bare hands. She even almost killed Olivia!Biting her lip, she didn't know how to face Olivia.Leia didn't have the courage to look Olivia in the eye. Silently, she stood in a corner while feeling uneasy. Olivia already did Leia a favor by sparing her life. Naturally, she wouldn't greet Leia. Olivia chose to ignore Leia's presence. She merely brushed past Leia as she approached Jacqueline.There were no obtrusive wounds on her. Olivia fixed her gaze on Jacqueline's fingertips, which were bleeding. Blood dripped onto the wooden floor, leaving bright red splatters with every drip."What lowly methods. If you want to kill me, do it properly."Olivia lowered her gaze expressionlessly.She kept staring at Jacqueline, and she did it so calmly that Jacqueline was spooked by that gaze."What are you looking

Jacqueline licked her chapped lips. "You know something? I felt sorry for you at first. I even had the urge to do something to make up for it. But I realized that you were living a good life in Aldenvine. You're smart and pretty. It's clear that you've inherited the genes from the Fordham family perfectly. You made me seem like a fool."I felt angry and secretly compared myself to you. I wanted to win you in everything, but you were beyond my reach. Even if it was just hobbies, you became the top in the field so easily. My effort seemed to be nothing in comparison."Your father and the people around you loved you. You skipped grades and made a breakthrough. People called you the talented doctor. There was also a man like Ethan who loved you. Even though our identities were switched, luck was always on your side. You have the best in everything in life."Olivia gave her an indifferent gaze, finding that hilarious. "So you think that I should apologize to you?""That gaze again, huh?
Chapter 1627
Ethan might be an indifferent man, but he was a gentleman who never hurt women. Judging from how he broke his principles and kicked Jacqueline, it seemed like his patience had reached rock bottom. He didn't hold himself back during the kick.Jacqueline's back slammed against the wall so hard that it made a heavy thud and was accompanied by the shrill sound of the iron chains. From the wall, she rolled on the ground and coughed blood. Putting up with the pain, she slowly raised her head. Her pale lips looked more appalling due to the blood over them. She smirked, unbothered by the electrifying pain coursing through her system. "Did I say something wrong? I know what you did. I know everything. "Do you know what kind of people the Fordhams are? They're very protective of their family. Just with the things you've done alone, they'll never forgive you. Are you hoping for a remarriage? In your dreams!"You were a fool not to believe your wife and letting yourself fooled by outsiders
Chapter 1628
Olivia looked at Jacqueline with a disdainful smile. "Scared? I thought you didn't feel fear. I won't kill you, Jacqueline. I'll make you watch your hard-won prizes vanish from your sight. You should know how it feels like to be at your wit's end.""You can't do this to me, Olivia! This is torture! This is against humanity!""Humanity? Why should I treat you like a human?" Olivia yanked Jacqueline over by the wrist. Jacquline couldn't break free due to the chains, and she was barely breathing from Leia's torture before Olivia's arrival. All she could do was to watch Olivia inject the cold liquid into her arm. The syringe soon emptied. "I wanted to kill you even before I found out that you were my enemy." Olivia flung away Jacqueline's arm. Olivia pinched Jacqueline's chin. "I know you're smart. Family is not the thing you care about the most. Love is not it either. It's an abundance of wealth and power. You worked so hard just to escape from poverty, that poor place you were bo
Chapter 1629
Olivia recalled Willow's words about the spell on Jacqueline. Strangely enough, Jacqueline was all tied up. She couldn't do anything to manipulate the bugs."No. She's not a witch. It's because of the spell!" Olivia figured it out.Willow nodded in agreement. "Hurry! Tell those people to come inside"Jacqueline didn't pose that much threat, but the spell on her could work as a tracker. The witch could track down her whereabouts accurately. Those densely packed bugs surely weren't a good sign. The other party might intend to exterminate all of them. Once the guards were killed, the other party could take away Jacqueline easily. In the past, Olivia might have thought such tales were a myth and wondered how scary a bunch of bugs could be. However, her experience told her otherwise. The village where she and Willow once stayed was an isolated residence of the minority community that had remained hidden from the world for a thousand years. The villagers were most skilled in spell
