Chapter 8
I lost consciousness completely.
When I woke up, I foun
myself tightly
bound, my mouth taped shut, and Karena was holding a phone with the flashlight on, staring at me motionlessly.
In the dim light, I realized I was at the edge of a cliff.
A sense of danger spread throughout my body instantly…
“Are you curious about what I’m going to do to you?”
“Of course, I’m going to send you down to meet your parents! They’re waiting for you on your way to heaven!”

Karena laughed cruelly, her twisted face resembling a demon emerging from hell.
“Anyway, you’re going to die, so I’m not afraid to tell you, the body you saw in the news really was your father. He really did fall off the cliff.”
“And your mother… I just pulled out all her tubes and sent her to meet God!”
I was terrified and furious!
My parents are dead? Killed by Karena?
But I couldn’t speak, only shouting inside my mind: Karena, you’re not human! How could you do this to them after all they did for you?!
Karena kept talking to herself: “Emonie!

You say why you’re so lucky, born into a rich family, never worrying about food and clothing, while me, my father died before I was born, and my mother abandoned me in the snow to almost freeze to death. Though I was saved and sent to an orphanage, I was bullied there.
“I couldn’t take it, so I ran away! I’d rather wander outside, even die, than be bullied by them! God must have taken care of me, because not long after I ran away, I was hit by a car and barely survived!”
“I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad! You saved me, your parents adopted me, and I had a good life! But why did you still harm me? You should have just let me die earlier, right?”
Karena’s words shocked me!

I saved her, and in her mind, I was harming her?
“You stopped me from dying, so of course I want revenge! I’ll take everything that belongs to you! I can’t take your parents‘ love, so I’ll take their lives! And your man… hahahaha… I just wave my finger, and he comes crawling like a dog, letting me sleep. with him!”
“But Mrs. Chambers‘ position, he still won’t give me that! It’s so infuriating! It must be
Cause you’re still alive, so he can’t bear to let you be homeless. Once you’re dead, Mrs. Chambers‘ position will be mine, and my child will no longer be a bastard! So, Emonie… you have to die!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed me off the cliff.

I didn’t have time to think about how to
escape…
I was going to die…
Fortunately, below the cliff was a river.
I was saved!
The person who saved me was Ms. Regina Coleman, the chairwoman of the Coleman Group.
“The child in your womb… didn’t survive.”
This was the first thing she said to me when I woke up.
The second sentence was: “Are you willing to let Gavin and Karena do this to you?”
She had investigated how my parents were

killed.
Only then did I learn the whole story-
That day, Karena invited me for coffee, hoping to persuade me to divorce Gavin. I didn’t agree, and instead, I reported her actions to Gavin.
Gavin gave her a lesson.
Karena’s plan failed, and she was,ed
by Gavin. She lost a big order and went completely mad, then turned her attention to my parents.
She invited my father to go hiking under my name, pretending to take pictures of him, then pushed him off the cliff, making it look. like an accident, to avoid legal punishment.
The photographer who took pictures of my

father seemed like an ordinary passerby that Karena grabbed, but in fact, he was someone she had arranged.
Even if it was discovered to be a murder, the photographer would be the one sent to prison, and Karena would be safe!
S
After killing my father, Karena forged Gavin’s signature, and presented a document to the private hospital to stop treatment.
That private hospital was part of Gavin’s
Usiness empire, and with the document bearing his signature, the director had no choice but to comply.
This was how my parents were killed by Karena!
And Gavin, who knew everything, kept hiding the truth about their deaths from me,
