"Shut up!"The mere mention of the police left Henry's expression darkening as he glared at Tina. "You really are fearless."At that point, Tina understood.Henry believed Linda, thinking that Tina insisted on going to the cops not because she was innocent, but because she had Madam Barnes' backing.It was fine as Madam Barnes loved Tina and despised Linda, and she would use the family influence to bail Tina out unscathed—just like how Henry brainlessly protected Linda.If that happened, he could not get payback for his beloved woman and daughter.Tina thought that her heart was impervious, but at that moment, her heart still stung terribly.She bit her lip and whipped out her phone—even if he did not want to call the cops, she could do it herself!However, she had just pressed the numbers when a hand snatched it out of her grasp before she could dial."Give it back!" Tina snapped, reaching out to grab it.However, Henry turned it off and threw it on the couch.Missing her m

And now, Henry pushed Tina into the same hell with his own hands, just to punish her for Linda and Rory, torturing Tina with her worst fears.Her throat felt like it was seized by a formless hand that clenched harder by the second, so much so that she could not breathe.She was on her knees as she tried her best to loosen her collar, her lips opened feebly as she gasped for air.But she was still suffocating, as her nerves were at their limit.Struck by terror, even her voice was a lot softer now as she gave in, allowing herself to be vulnerable in Henry's presence. "Let me out… Henry… Open the door…"She called his name repeatedly as she hit the door, her voice trembling and almost unintelligible.He knew she was terrified but did not care.The darkness magnified her senses, and she could hear the faintest sounds outside as she pressed herself against the door.She could hear the footsteps and knew Henry was right outside.She could even imagine his haughty glare, poising him

The room heating system was turned on, and the warmth was just right, but Rory cringed when her clothes were taken off.Still sleeping, she snuggled up to Linda in her arms. Even if Linda was not the best of mothers, she was her only mother, and Rory was dependent on her down to her core.But Linda was not relenting from the intimacy as she turned off the room heating system.Then, she carried Rory into the bathroom and turned on the cold water, causing the temperature to drop right away.Linda watched as the tub filled and touched the surface, immediately feeling a painful chill.Feeling the cold, Rory's teeth chattered as she pressed herself deeper into Linda's arms. "Hug me, Mommy… I'm so cold…"Linda's heart almost caved, but remembering that Tina was in the basement, she did not hesitate to shove Rory into the tub.The icy water quickly flooded over Rory's scrawny body, and Rory shuddered even as she slept but could not wake up because of her medication.Her teeth kept cha

Tina's cheeks were as white as a sheet as she lay on a hospital bed, while Madam Barnes asked a doctor worriedly, "How is she?""She fainted from arrhythmia but made it in time. If she were brought in even a second later, she would've died from shock."The diagnosis left Madam Barnes shaking with rage.Her chest heaving as she thumped her cane on the floor, she snarled through her teeth, "That vile spawn!"Henry knew Tina was terrified of basements, but he had locked her up in there for so long!Was he trying to kill her?!Sam hurried to Madam Barnes worriedly. "Please, Ma'am. Your health…"However, his advice fell on deaf ears until a cool hand reached Madam Barnes' wrinkled hand, calling out hoarsely, "Grandma…"Madam Barnes flinched as she promptly grasped Tina's hand in return, rubbing it in her palms to warm it while asking in concern, "Yes, Tina—I'm right here. Are you feeling alright?"Tears welled up in Tina's eyes right then. "I'm alright. I'm just hungry."Madam Bar

In the silence inside the car, Linda was left staring at Tina as she kept her eyes out of the window, unsure of what she was up to.Could she actually have been mistaken?Linda also knew that whoever spoke first would lose the advantage but could not help it anyway, as she snapped at Tina, "What do you want?"She always had kept this woman and the bastard the woman had given birth to under her thumb.Tina had no right poising herself so loftily in her presence!"You'll find out soon enough," Tina replied quietly with a meaningful look.Linda seemed to see something she could not recognize in Tina's eyes just then, and not knowing left her dreading.Even as Tina watched her, she started to get flustered but forced it back as she snarled through her teeth, "If you hurt me, Henry will definitely get you for this!"Right now, she was hearing two voices.One told her that Tina would never dare to hurt her.Be it before she headed abroad or after she returned, she had exploited Hen
