Chapter 1635
The familiar sound called upon Scarlet, who glided its way toward them quickly.Although Kelvin and Brent had met this snake before, its presence never failed to scare them. Its size was that of a small hill. The fact that it was alive and extending its forked tongue still made it hard for them to believe that it was real.When Kelvin met its piercing eyes, he thought he was going to faint.Meanwhile, it was Leia's first time meeting such a humongous snake, and it was a venomous snake at that. To her surprise, the others didn't show any intention of dodging it. Willow even took a few steps forward!"Watch out!" Leia instinctively reached out for Willow.Surprisingly, the snake lowered its head meekly. The huge creature was behaving meekly in front of such a young child!Willow stroked its scale as a sign of greeting. "Long time no see."Leia had experienced many kinds of things in life, but this was by far the most absurd situation she had ever encountered. She couldn't believ

Leia stopped Kelvin. "We need her alive. If she's telling the truth, Olivia's life is bound with hers. Both of them will die together."He threw the bucket away and flopped on the staircase. "Just what is all this, Ms. Miller? Mr. Miller has had it tough winning Mrs. Miller's heart back. Don't make me bring up those years she went missing. "Every single day felt so long for him. They love each other so much, but everything keeps getting in their way. And the bad guys are free out there." "I know. I understand. I know more than you do how much Ethan loves Olivia. I'm the reason they ended up this way. I want Jacqueline dead more than you do. She lied to me for so long and made me hurt Olivia. But what's done is done. We can't do anything. All we can do is to keep Jacqueline alive and wait."Kelvin's eyes were red. The last time he was this upset was the time Ethan was poisoned. No doctors could save him, and death was waiting ahead of him. Ethan managed to survive it, but now, it

Wendy nodded. "That is the principle. But considering how life-threatening this curse is, I bet the crafter is one dangerous witch. Olivia's life is in their hands. It's going to be hard to find out what their weakness is.""What should we do?""An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since that witch has cursed Olivia, we'll curse Jacqueline. We can at least have a plan B when that witch decides to go back on their word."Ethan's eyes lit up in hope. "I don't know anything about curses. Please help us, Madam Wendy."He then bowed to her. "Please save my wife, Madam Wendy. I'll grant any wish you ask for."Wendy sighed at his genuine request. "I just don't understand why things have to turn out this way for both of you. Get up. I know Olivia loves you too. Olivia and I have lived together for some time. And I've grown fond of her. There's no way I'll turn a blind eye to this."She patted his shoulder. Her expression remained solemn. "Only powerful witches can cast this kind of

Brent concocted something simple for Jacqueline. She took a spoonful of it and suddenly swept the bowl off the table. "What the hell is this? Is this even edible?"Leia slapped her. "You should be grateful that you have something to eat. You're not in the position to be picky."Jacqueline growled, "Leia Miller, I'm warning you, Olivia's life is in my hands now. If you don't treat me well, I'll kill her!"That was her only yet useful bargaining chip.Brent, who didn't know much about curses, reined in his anger. "Ms. Fordham, as you can see, this village is isolated. The villagers have never interacted with the outside world. This is what they eat every day. The rice you looked down on is the corps they cultivated with their blood, sweat, and tears. "There are no snacks or gourmet food here. Even if you ask for something better, the best cook here won't be able to make it."Jacqueline had observed how backward the village was and knew that he had a point.She suppressed her fury

Most of the women in the world were afraid of mollusks. If one fell from the tree and landed on their hand by chance, they would scream at the top of their lungs.Still, the young Willow had just thrown a cursed worm into Jacqueline. Jacqueline clearly felt something squishy in her mouth. It was wriggling too!She yelled in disgust."Shut up." Leia shoved a piece of cloth into Jacqueline's mouth. Jacqueline was so caught off-guard that she swallowed the worm. She wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, but she could feel it sliding through her esophagus. It was so disgusting that it gave her goosebumps. Willow made sure Jacqueline had swallowed the cursed worm before removing the cloth.Like a madwoman, Jacqueline got on her knees and tried to vomit to remove the worm from her. However, no matter what she did, the only thing that came out of her was bile because she hadn't eaten anything for more than 20 hours.She glared at Willow. "What did you feed me?"Willow gestured i

Leia's face remained expressionless as she stripped Jacqueline down."You must be desperate to kill me, huh? I played you guys like fools you are. But you can't kill me. To top it off, you have to serve me too."Suddenly, Leia dunked Jacqueline's head into the water. Jacqueline held the rim of the bathtub, wriggling to break free from the coercion. But Leia wasn't going to give her the chance to do so.As the typical cruel woman, Leia waited for a while before yanking Jacqueline's hair upward. After Jacqueline barely caught a few breaths, Leia dipped her head into the water again. The torture repeated a few times.In the end, Leia grabbed Jacqueline's hair tightly. "I can't kill you, but I'm strong and have many ways to torture you. You can try me."Jacqueline's upper body was drenched. She thought her hair was going to fall off her head.The torture went on for a while, but Jacqueline let out an ambiguous smile. On the other hand, Olivia, who had been unconscious, suddenly

The memories before she lost consciousness flooded Olivia. She could only remember the sudden pain in her neck before she fell into a swoon.When she finally regained her composure, she realized that the room seemed familiar."This is…"She didn't feel well as she had just woken up, especially her head. It felt heavy, clouded by a weight of grogginess."We're at Alora Village. You've been cursed, so I was wondering if Madam Wendy could help us out." Ethan hugged her gently. She nestled her head in his arms. "Is it a powerful curse, Ethan? Can she lift it?"Near-death experiences were not new to her, hence her relatively calm voice."It's a troublesome one, Liv. Your life and Jacqueline's are bound together. It's either you live or die together. Madam Wendy is at her wit's end. Only the witch that cast the curse knows what can be done.""I see. Did something happen to Jacqueline? I felt like I was suffocating.""I think so." He then cooed, "Don't worry, Liv. Jacqueline is just

Olivia looked at Wendy. "What happened?""Jacqueline asked someone to cast a Lifebond Curse on you. The curse settled in you within 24 hours, and now, your life is bound with hers. From now onward, you'll share the pain. But I didn't know that you'd feel the pain so vividly. The witch is powerful," Wendy recounted.At this moment, Wendy thought it was so fortunate that she didn't get ahead of herself by breaking the curse for Olivia. This wasn't any ordinary curse; it was a refined one. Just like how science would improve every day, the abandoned minority curses had been cast to oblivion. Only a few people still sustained the practice—the powerful witches.Jacqueline rested against the rim of the bathtub with an expression of a winner. "I'm glad you know. It's not only our lives; she can feel anything that I do. If you want her to suffer with me, you're welcome to torture me."Olivia did feel unwell when she woke up. She brushed it off as soreness from the long hours of sleep. It
