All Chapters of When She Turns Her Back: Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1230

Maeve had been dead set against coming when she found out Paige was going to look after Yvonne, especially since Paige had made her bring along her own toys and snacks and kept telling her she needed to learn to share, be generous, and forgive.But now, she actually started to feel sorry for Yvonne.After a moment's hesitation, Maeve set her puzzle box in front of Yvonne. "Yvonne, do you want to do this puzzle with me? I've been working on it forever, but I can never finish it. Maybe if we do it together, we can get it done."She looked at Yvonne hopefully, waiting for her to smile and say yes, but no matter how long she waited, Yvonne remained silent.In the end, Maeve gave up first and moved the puzzle away. Then she looked up at Paige and mouthed, "Mom, I don't want to play with this weirdo anymore."Paige could tell right away that Maeve didn't want to be there, but she gave her a look and mouthed back slowly, "Be good, sweetie. Yvonne's sick, so let's not be upset with her, o

Talia put every ounce of her strength into each blow, and Nancy howled in pain. Once she caught her breath, she taunted, "Talia, you're just as stupid as Yvonne."Talia didn't let the words get to her. She had long since grown tired of hearing insults like that, but Yvonne was different. She was only a child.Tied up as she was, Nancy could do nothing but struggle and scream. With a sharp ache in her chest, Talia reached out and pinched the skin on Nancy's neck as hard as she could, then raked her nails across her face.Terrified of being disfigured, Nancy shrieked, "Talia, if you dare ruin my face, I swear I'll make you pay!"Talia pretended not to hear a word and went on to pinch Nancy's ears and lips, not stopping until she drew blood. By the time she was done, there were angry red marks all over Nancy's face, neck, arms, legs, and mouth.Even then, Talia's anger hadn't cooled. She took a dagger out of her bag and pulled it from its sheath, turning it over in her hand before po

Christian caught the sorrow in Nancy's eyes, and he couldn't bring himself to be cruel. "Maybe I did love you once."Nancy had no interest in an answer that uncertain. She pressed him further. "If it weren't for Julian, would you have protected me?""I don't know," Christian replied. "Maybe I would have, or maybe I wouldn't."It wasn't the answer she wanted. Nancy looked at him, a sad smile in her eyes. "Christian, Talia was right about you. You're a heartless man who doesn't love anyone."Christian's brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Take your mother and get out of my sight before I change my mind. If I do, I can't promise what I'll do to you."He walked out of the brick shack without waiting for her reply. Nancy watched him go until he disappeared from view completely, and only then did she untie Jennifer.Jennifer had been bound the whole time with tape over her mouth. Unable to make a sound, she could only watch helplessly as Nancy asked those fool

Yvonne looked up at Talia. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, "What do you want to ask me?"Now that Yvonne was finally willing to talk about what mattered, Talia saw no reason to hold back. She bluntly said, "Yvonne, tell me what Jennifer and Nancy did to you."She watched Yvonne expectantly, waiting for an answer. Yvonne, however, fell silent again for a long while.Seeing how reluctant she seemed, Talia tried a gentler approach. "Yvonne, you don't have to be scared. Just tell me what happened that night. I only want to know what really went on."Yvonne lowered her head and mumbled, "They didn't do anything to me."Her refusal to answer suddenly made Talia angry. "Yvonne, after everything they did to you, you still want to protect them?"Yvonne stood her ground. "I got these injuries because I wasn't careful and hurt myself. Nobody bullied me. Nancy and Jennifer have always been really good to me."Talia stared at her in shock for a long time before letting out a disbelieving

Talia didn't slow her pace for a second, her answer blunt. "I'm going to the police."Christian took a couple of quick steps after her and raised his voice. "Talia, have you lost your mind? Do you really have to blow this up until there's no coming back from it?"Talia finally paused, but she only turned partway toward him. "I haven't lost my mind. You're the one who has."With that, she walked away.Christian didn't try to stop her again. After a long silence, he decided to make a phone call instead. The other end picked up almost immediately, and Lionel's voice came through. "Sir."Christian's expression turned cold as he gave the order. "Pass the word along. No one is to take a report from Talia."Lionel paused for a beat but didn't ask why. "Understood. I'll take care of it right away."After hanging up, Christian lit a cigarette in the hallway and didn't return to the room until he had finished it.The moment Yvonne saw him come in, she asked anxiously, "Daddy, is Mommy re
