The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1675

“It's almost your turn,” Carol's words sent a shiver down Katherine's spine. What should she do? They were in the middle of

nowhere; how could she cry for help?

She should have screamed for help when Carol shoved them into the trunk of the car and took them to this place. She should have

called out, had her relatives call the cops.

Dennis was relentlessly beating Meredith, having harbored a grudge against him for ages. Meredith, terrified, wailed, "Mom, help

Maureen was too preoccupied with her own pain, cradling her head and shouting, "Don't hit my boy."

"Mama, help me." Meredith cowered behind his mother, trembling as he pleaded with Dennis and Carol, "The thing that happened

back then was my mom's doing, not mine. Sure, | ran someone over with my car, even stole scash, but | never hurt you.

There's a rightful owner of every debt; just letgo. Whatever scores you need to settle, take it up with my mom."

Katherine nearly passed out from anger upon hearing this, "Meredith, are you even human? Mom's getting beaten to a pulp; she

could die!"

"Why drag someone else down with her if she's about to die?" Meredith shouted back, "I'm the heir to the family fortune; | can't get

into trouble."

"Please, just spare him." Maureen, already badly beaten, instinctively protected her son as she begged Carol, "He's innocent."

"Did you hear that? My own mom says it's not my fault. Can | go now? | swear | won't call the cops. I'll pretend | know nothing

about what happened here."

It was then Maureen's heart sank piece by piece, forcing out a bitter smile. To think the son she had cherished for so many years

didn't care if she lived or died. Katherine was equally disappointed in her brother.

Carol sneered, "Mom, you see? The woman who hurt you raised a useless son and a daughter who's more trouble than she's

worth."

She grabbed Maureen by the few strands of hair she had left and dragged her to a gravestone, "You wantto spare your son?

Bow a hundred times to my mom's grave. And you two, not one bow less."

Katherine and Meredith knelt down, their foreheads hitting the cold stone of the gravestone repeatedly. "I'm sorry." Maureen

sobbed, seemingly full of regret, "lI was blinded back then and | hurt you. I'm sorry."

Carol's nose tingled slightly, but being strong-willed, not a single tear escaped her eyes. It wasn't until they had finished bowing

that Carol slowly approached Maureen, "I want you to truly understand the pain my mom felt when she lost her legs."

The three looked at Carol with disbelief and shock. Their apologies had been made, their bows completed, and now Carol wanted to

break their legs? Was there no justice left in the world?

"What you're doing is against the law," Meredith's plea was cut short as Dennis picked up a hefty rock and smashed it down onto

his kneecap.

The sound of bone shattering was chilling. Meredith screamed, the sound echoing through the valley.

"Don't hurt my boy." Before Maureen could finish, Carol delivered a vicious kick to her knee.

"Mom," Katherine couldn't believe it. The once quiet and seemingly meek siblings were ruthless - far from the pushovers she had

thought they were; they were downright lunatics.

After crippling them, Carol and her brother left them with the driver's family, who, upon seeing Maureen, couldn't hold back their

fury and lashed out with punches and kicks. The chaos subsided only when the sound of police sirens filled the air and the

perpetrators were taken away.

"Mom, may you find peace in the afterlife," Carol looked at the smiling photo on the gravestone, bowed deeply, and whispered her

silent farewell.
