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 ck clothes and arge 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’ cor and threatened her,


    "Don''t you dare y 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 andughed 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 borated, "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 identally pushed her off the cliff instead. She thought she was doomed,


    but a fisherman hade 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.
