Chapter 77: Threats
Seeing Sherry’s terrified expression, Alice laughed hysterically. She tidied her disheveled hair, sneering at the thunderstruck Sherry. “Scared?” My heart tightened; it seemed Sherry indeed had some major issues. No wonder she silenced Adam. How did Alice find out? Could it be…
I shook my head; this family was truly chaotic.
“Alice, you… shut up!” Sherry held Charles tightly, incredulously staring at Alice. “Shut up!”
“Sure!” Alice, while fixing her torn clothes, took a step forward and slapped Sherry hard across the face. Sherry stumbled, holding Charles, and fell onto the sofa. Charles, who had just stopped crying, rolled onto the floor, scared and crying loudly.
I was infuriated.
Sherry, with some conscience left, didn’t care about her face. She quickly got up, bent down to pick up Charles, and held him tightly while consoling him. Then, she yelled at Alice, “If you scare Charles, Nobody won’t spare you!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I had to admit, Sherry showed more restraint than Alice.
Alice glanced at Charles, his face red from crying, hesitated for a moment, and then coldly snorted. “Failing to take care of Charles is your negligence.”
“You…!” Sherry was so infuriated by her sister’s words that she trembled like a sieve.
Alice, however, combed through her damaged hair casually. “Sherry, from now on, if you dare touch me again, I’ll make sure you face endless calamities! Do you think I don’t know about your ambitions? You still want to be the mistress of this place? You really dare to dream!”
“Don’t mock me; you’re no different!” Sherry, like a defiant rooster, shouted back. On the surface, Sherry may have won the fight, but she lost completely.
“I’m not like you at all!” Alice shamelessly declared. “I just want to take what I want. Don’t think you’re so outstanding. Look, as long as I want, everything is mine! I have no interest in fighting to become Mrs. Brown. It’s just a one night stand. As long as Mr. Brown wants it, I’m willing to open my legs!”
She spoke while playing with her hair, giving a sly smile. “Oh, by the way, do you think I should remind Mrs. Brown? I shouldn’t waste her kindness toward me. She’s truly a kind and foolish woman! I’m more than willing to help her!”
Facing Alice’s blatant threats, Sherry seemed visibly weakened. Although she glared at Alice with a fierce expression, her eyes lacked the same intensity.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Alice, don’t force me!” Sherry stared at Alice, uttering these words.
“Force you? You used the wrong word! Do you think nobody knows and nobody sees, my dear sister? But remember, the walls have ears!” Alice, with her wicked charm, made it difficult to express one’s feelings when looking at her expression.
“What have you done to Adam?” Sherry, understanding her sister well, voiced my suspicions.
“Hahaha! Adam? That big idiot, what could I possibly do to him?” Alice arrogantly tossed her now neat hair. “Do I even need to do anything to him? Just a little beckon, and he obediently crawls over! Hahaha! Otherwise, how could I know about your dirty deeds, stealing someone else’s daughter and killing her without anyone noticing? Tell me, if Robert finds out about your shady business, how do you think he’ll treat you?”
Hearing those words, a chill ran down my spine. My eyes were fixed on Charles in Sherry’s arms, wondering if, in this household, she might target my children if she doesn’t get what she wants.
In the footage, Alice shed her innocent image, revealing her sinister and sly demeanor. Sherry, on the other hand, appeared powerless to resist, harboring resentment towards Alice but unable to act against her.
I witnessed Alice’s darkness, cunning, and ruthlessness.
“Sherry, do you think it’s time for me to leave or for you to leave? Or shall we live together peacefully as a loving family?” Alice, approaching aggressively, continued, “By the way, sister, 1, 500 is really not enough for me! If you can give Adam 20, 000, you should balance things out for me too! After all, you are my dear sister. Oh, and what was it you were investigating…? Something about a woman and a child? Mr. Brown’s mistress, right?”
As soon as she said this, Sherry was struck dumb.
