with fury.
Chapter 53
“Nathan Linwood, touch May one more time, and Ill end you” Claire declared, her voice icy and unwavering, her gaze sharp as a blade slicing through the air towards Nathan
Nathan was momentanly stunned by Claire’s fierce glare, frozen in place.!!!
But soon, his anger surged back, a tidal wave of fury. “You dare threaten me, you little brat? I’ll beat you to death”
With that, he lunged at Claire, lost in a frenzy, ready to strike her without restraint.)
May quickly stepped in front of Claire, shielding her with her own body
The belt lashed against May’s back, her body swayed from the impact, but she stood her ground, stubborn and unyielding
Tears streamed down Claire’s face more fiercely
Kill him, kill him, kill him.
That was the only thought left in her mind X
Her life was in ruins, with no hope for the future. Upon her release from prison, she had intended to find a place where no one knew her and live out the rest of her days. But the Linwoods refused to let her go.
They wanted to torment her endlessly
Her existence was too painful, and there was no mason to continue living like this. Death seemed preferable.X
If she didn’t want to live, then no one should.
Let’s all die together!!!
Mustering all her strength, she pushed May aside, sending May stumbling backward.
Ignoring the pain in her legs, Claire rushed into the kitchen.
She emerged with a kitchen knife in her hand, eyes locked onto Nathan, and advanced towards him with a determined stride
Nathan saw the knife and felt a flicker of fear, but he barked defiantly. “Claire, what are you doing with that knife? Are you insane?”
“Insane? Yes, I’m insane. Driven to madness by you all, Claire screamed, her voice hoarse, her eyes bloodshot with rage.
Brandishing the knife, she swung it at Nathan without hesitation.Я
In that moment, her eyes were devoid of doubt or fear, filled only with boundless hatred.
Nathan’s face turned pale as death, and he instinctively sidestepped.
The knife whizzed past his ear, crashing into a towering vase behind him.!!
With a deafening “crack,” the vase shattered, sending shards flying in all directions, scattering across the floor!!
The terrifying scene left everyone present wide–eyed in horror, realizing Claire’s intent was deadly serious, not mere words.
Fear gripped Nathan for real now, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he stumbled backward.
He never imagined that the once submissive Claire, who endured all his abuse in silence, would now be ready to drag him down with her They say the desperate fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those with nothing to lose.X
When she no longer cared about her life, it was others who should be afraid.
Nathan shouted in panic, “Claire, this is a crime”
“I don’t want to live anymore, why would I fear crime?” Claire swung the knife at Nathan again.
Nathan was so terrified he nearly fell over himself, all his authority as head of the family vanished!
we talk this out?“!
At this moment, Adah finally snapped out of her meek persona, rushing over to stop Claire, “Claire, put the knife down. We’re family, can’t
“Talk this out? Hahaha–Claire laughed as if she heard the world’s most absurd joke, tears of mirth and pain mingling. “When I
– migh and
when I wanted talk, you gave me no chance. Now that I don’t, you want to guilt–trip me with morality.“N
“Do I deserve to be bullied by your family, is that it?”
“No, no,” Adah shook her head vehemently, watching Claire’s breakdown tore at her heart, the pain cutting to her very bones
