"Like I said, there’s no use putting up an act at this point! I will never forgive you, no matter how much you pretend to be innocent! You can never undo the damage you’ve done to . I will only find peace by making you suffer a hundred tis worse than I have!" Seraphina yelled.
She then clapped her hands and turned her head to the door. "You may co in."
After that, several rows of burly n, an estimated hundred in total, walked through the entrance. They were all wearing the sa clothing and were mostly tanned. Their expressions were rather fierce, and they looked like foreigners.
"What are you doing?" Joanna asked Seraphina frostily
"You’re a smart woman. How could you possibly not know what I’m trying to do here?" Seraphina patted the tall man next to her, her smile twisted. "I specifically found these guys from a countryside far, far away, just for you."
"They’re very rugged, you know? They have more than enough stamina to satisfy you. I’m sure you’d die happy even if you were to go to hell... Oh, aren’t I just the best?"
"Murphy, believe it or not, I really had no idea about what happened to you. All I can say is... I’m very sorry." Joanna was not afraid but instead felt rather apologetic.
She knew that her brother had been raised in a rough environnt, which was why he always chose to go to extres. He never left room for rcy, but she didn’t expect that he actually go to such an extent.
’I can imagine how scary that experience was to her, especially when she had always been a prideful rich girl.’
’No wonder she wants dead at all cost. Her hate is completely reasonable...’
"Haha, you’re sorry?" Seraphina cackled. "Do you think your apology holds any aning to now? I won’t forgive you even if you have no idea about it! You will pay for your brother’s cris! This is your karma!"
"You’re right. I have no right to apologize. If revenge is what you need, go ahead!" Joanna closed her eyes and accepted her fate.
’I suppose this is my karma... Just like how I accidentally pushed Desrosiers down the cliff. This is my punishnt.’
’The only people I still worry for are my children.’
’Poor Abby and Adie, you have to take good care of yourselves, okay? Mommy will be your mommy again in our next lives!’
"Are you all deaf? She said to go ahead! Stop standing around. She’s letting you f*ck her for free, you hillbillies!" Seraphina shoved one of the n forward and ordered. "Starting with you! Get on with it!"
"Yes... M... Miss Murphy."
Along with his hesitant answer, the muscular man seed to have a righteous expression, which indicated that he wasn’t exactly a bad person.
He slowly approached the woman and reached over to her clothes...
"Wait!" Seraphina suddenly called out to the man and took her phone cara out, smiling. "A lovely scene like this should be recorded and shown to the public! Everyone will get to enjoy this over and over again on the internet."
"I pity you, Murphy, but you sure aren’t a weakling. Color impressed!" Joanna had given up at this point.
She rely regretted not being able to leave a proper will to her friends and family.
’I probably won’t be able to rest in peace if I die such a sudden death.’
"Looks to you’re still resisting. Well, I could tell you one more thing..." Seraphina said slowly as she captured Joanna’s embarrassing state. "Do you know why Ace suddenly broke up with you out of nowhere, even though your relationship was going really well? And why he chose to be with instead?"
Joanna scoffed, finding this quite woeful. "How insecure do you have to be to show off your amazing love story at this mont? Why else would he do that? Isn’t it all because you are childhood friends, and he’s so deeply in love with you?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, never have I ever imagined that I could make you feel jealous, Pierce. What a sha... that I don’t actually have what it takes to do that." Seraphina let out a long sigh, speaking truthfully. "I really feel bad Ace, you know? To think the woman he swore on his life to protect views him in this light."
Joanna froze, noticing sothing off with her statent. Her tone was stern as she questioned. "What do you an by that?"
"Ace didn’t agree to date for three months just because he wanted to continue working with the Murphys. In reality, he doesn’t even care if my family would save him, nor does he care about the possibility of Moran Group facing bankruptcy!"
"All he cares about is you," Seraphina replied. She didn’t mind divulging such information with a soon- to-be corpse. Hence, she continued on with her story, revealing every single detail to the woman.
"Three months ago, I received an anonymous video—clear evidence that you were the one who murdered Alice. What do you think would’ve happened to you if I handed that clip to the police?"
"You... How did you..." Joanna was once again shocked.
At first, she had really given in to her faith and intended to go out with pride. Yet now she felt deflated, finding herself an unforgivable sinner. She couldn’t even bring herself to speak against Seraphina.
"How did I get my hands on that tape?" Seraphina shrugged, completely unaware as well. "I have no idea who was the saint who sent this either. They even kindly reminded that I could use this as leverage to ask Ace to be with ."
"I wasn’t sure if that could work, considering how well I know Ace. He hates being threatened. And I thought he wouldn’t sell himself out just for you, right? You’re not that important to him, right?"
"Wrong. Haha, I didn’t even know if I should be happy or sad about this. He actually agreed to date , and he allowed to do anything to him. All he wanted was for to destroy that clip and never tell a soul about the murder."
Seraphina started tearing up as she spoke, stumbling slightly. No one could tell if she was mad, jealous, or sorrowful at that point. She just kept choking back tears, repeating her words. "I don’t get it! I
just don’t get it! You’re no better than I am, so why does he love you so much?!"
Joanna gulped. Intense despair flashed across her gorgeous face as she whispered to herself, "So that’s why. He’s such an idiot! I knew he wouldn’t change so easily. That big stupid idiot!"
Still mumbling to herself, warm tears trickled down her cheeks. However, she was crying from relief instead of resentnt and misery.
"Thank you, Murphy, for telling the truth before I die. At least I wouldn’t die misunderstanding his actions." Joanna’s gaze seed more determined and courageous.
At the very least, she finally realized that her only relationship in life was true and beautiful. She was happy enough to know that it wasn’t a train wreck.
