Back when they were captured, James could still remember how Minerva smugly announced that virtual-novel.net slept with Wilson. Because of virtual-novel.net betrayal, James could feel nothing but hatred toward virtual-novel.net now.
It was then Helen remembered that Minerva was the one who led the Lachs in, and virtual-novel.net poisoned their salad. The realization of Minerva’s betrayal drained all the strength out of her, and virtual-novel.net plopped down, crying. “That silly girl. How could virtual-novel.net do this?“
James shouted, “She’s not silly! She’s evil! We’ve been nothing but nice to virtual-novel.net ever since virtual-novel.net came back! We shared everything with her, and we helped virtual-novel.net father out with his career, but what did they do? They kept creating trouble, and we have to clean their mess up! Now virtual-novel.net almost got us all killed! Can’t you see that she’s evil? Are you that stupid, Helen?”
Sasha agreed with virtual-novel.net father. “Don’t stay in touch with them anymore, Mom. At this rate, they’ll kill us all.”
Helen sighed. Even after all that, virtual-novel.net still refused to cut ties with Minerva.
All of a sudden, they heard someone calling outside. When they went to take a look, they saw Minerva lying on the yard. Her hands were tied, and virtual-novel.net mouth was sealed. She was struggling and looked to Helen for help.
“Minerva! Are you alright?” Helen wanted to help virtual-novel.net up, but James pulled virtual-novel.net back.
“Matthew, toss virtual-novel.net out and tell the guards to never let this piece of trash in,” James shouted.
Helen yelled, “James, are you mad? She’s a girl! You can’t leave virtual-novel.net out at this hour! What if virtual-novel.net runs into thugs?”
James snapped, “She’s the biggest thug around. Besides, it’s not like they can do anything to her. I mean, virtual-novel.net slept with an old git like Wilson. What else can’t virtual-novel.net do? I’m warning you, Helen. Help virtual-novel.net again and I‘ll toss you out too. You can forget about ever coming back.”
Tears streamed down Helen’s cheeks. “But she’s my niece. Her mother helped us when we needed it most. We can‘t just put that behind us.”
That made James snap. He turned around and slapped Helen again. “Bring that up again and you can f*ck off! Just because virtual-novel.net mother was nice to us doesn‘t mean they can do whatever they want! We’re lucky Tiger saved us. If they didn’t know we were kidnapped, we‘d have been killed at this point! Do you really want to see us dead before you’ll stop, Helen?”
Helen covered virtual-novel.net cheeks. She knew it’d be disastrous if virtual-novel.net said anything, and virtual-novel.net looked to Sasha for help.
Sasha sighed. “Matthew, untie virtual-novel.net and chase virtual-novel.net away. Tell the guards to never let their family in again.”
James snorted in annoyance, but virtual-novel.net said nothing in the end. Matthew nodded and went over to untie Minerva.
Minerva said nothing. She kept virtual-novel.net head low and left the Cunninghams. After virtual-novel.net exited The Grand Garden, virtual-novel.net went to a corner and cried. She almost lost virtual-novel.net life earlier, and that made virtual-novel.net regret virtual-novel.net actions, but it was already too late for apologies. Plopping down on the ground, virtual-novel.net spaced out for a long while before virtual-novel.net recalled something, then virtual-novel.net whipped virtual-novel.net phone out and called Peter.
“Peter, it‘s me. W-Where are you? I want to see you. I love you. I can‘t live without you. Wait for me, Peter. I’ll be right there.”
