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 black clothes and a large 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' collar and threatened her, "Don't you

dare play 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 and laughed 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 elaborated, "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 accidentally pushed her off the

cliff instead. She thought she was doomed, but a fisherman had come 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.
