The light in the basement was dim, so Shirley could not see the woman’s face. However, virtual-novel.net could imagine how malicious this woman’s face would look now.
“What are you trying to do?” Shirley supported herself with both hands and tried virtual-novel.net best to move backward.
She was not scared of the torture this woman would inflict on her, but virtual-novel.net could not accept sustaining any injuries on virtual-novel.net face.
No woman could accept this.
The woman waved the fruit knife and strode in front of Shirley, towering over virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net arrogantly peered askance at Shirley.
“Shirley, I know I can never compare to you in some aspects and I can never replace you. The only thing I can do now is to change your physical appearance.”
After Shirley heard this, virtual-novel.net was even more certain that this woman wanted to disfigure her.
She knew if virtual-novel.net did not fight back, virtual-novel.net face would be atrociously disfigured in virtual-novel.net hands.
She could not sit here and resign to virtual-novel.net fate.
When virtual-novel.net saw the woman waving the knife at virtual-novel.net face, Shirley used all virtual-novel.net might to push the woman away.
The woman thought Shirley had lost all resistance, so virtual-novel.net was completely caught off guard when virtual-novel.net was suddenly pushed. She fell to the ground, and the fruit knife in virtual-novel.net hand also dropped.
The woman muttered angrily while picking up the fruit knife in a hurry. However, Shirley was even faster than virtual-novel.net and was now holding the fruit knife.
Fearing that the tables would turn at this critical moment, the woman pressed Shirley’s hand down and the two of them started fighting.
Since Shirley was weak, the woman managed to trap Shirley under her.
The two of them fought for the fruit knife, and amidst the chaos, the sharp blade slashed across the woman’s palm.
“Ah!” the woman screamed in pain, and at the same time, flames of rage filled virtual-novel.net heart.
She snatched away the fruit knife that Shirley was holding tightly in virtual-novel.net hand as virtual-novel.net eyes turned aggressive.
“Go to hell!”
She held the handle of the knife and slashed the sharp blade across Shirley’s right cheek.
“Ah!”
An overwhelming sharp pain immediately washed over Shirley.
Shirley was instantly alert without a trace of muddle-headedness.
She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to clutch virtual-novel.net wound, the blood quickly staining virtual-novel.net palm red.
“Shirley, do you feel the pain now? Who asked you to offend someone you shouldn’t? You should think about who you offended back then. Don’t blame me, I’m just doing this under someone’s instructions. Think about who you’ve offended recently.”
‘Who I’ve offended recently?’
Shirley clutched virtual-novel.net face that was bleeding profusely, and virtual-novel.net was in so much pain that virtual-novel.net bones were trembling. She could not think. The only rivals whom virtual-novel.net could think of were Jeremy and Madeline.
When virtual-novel.net remembered how Madeline had let virtual-novel.net take a shower, change virtual-novel.net clothes, eat, and sleep in such a friendly manner, Shirley could not help but chuckle sarcastically.
“Eveline, I almost believed you. I didn’t expect you to be so good at acting.”
Shirley said in self-mockery before pushing away the woman who was restraining her. Then, virtual-novel.net stood up shakily and stumbled toward the door.
The woman initially wanted to stop virtual-novel.net but when virtual-novel.net heard what Shirley had just said, virtual-novel.net felt that it was unnecessary.
She removed virtual-novel.net mask and cap before curling virtual-novel.net red lips to display a sinister smirk. She was pleased that virtual-novel.net managed to get away with this.
“Shirley, it’s good that you’ve arrived at this conclusion. Remember to go back to Carter and tell virtual-novel.net who did this to you.”
