Chapter 8N
Alaric spoke again.
“If you don’t want me to leave, then you’d better take good care of me. Not a single penny less than what I deserve!”
“Keep this in mind: this is your karma, your punishment for all the evil you’ve done!“}}
A shiver ran down my spine.
In a daze, I seemed to see Alaric from my past life.
He used the same tone, the same expression.
Saying the exact words.
“Thalia, having a deformed baby was your karma. You’ve done too much evil!”
It seemed that trying to let Alaric destroy himself wouldn’t work.”
Wasn’t money the most important thing to Alaric?
Then I’d make sure he didn’t get a single cent.
I sent people to secretly film Alaric’s thug–like behavior.M
They sent the videos and photos to my mother.
The more my mother watched, the paler her face became.
Finally, she slammed the photos onto the table.
“That ungrateful brat! He’s going to be the death of me!”
By the end, she was in tears.
“What did I do to deserve this? I can’t hit him, I can’t yell at him. What am I supposed to do?“}
I gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.N
“Mom, I brought a girl home today. You should hear what she has to say.“”
The girl knelt as soon as she entered the door, crying.
“Ma’am, please stand up for me.“N
He listed a bunch of Alaric’s crimes.
He’d used her sick father, who was in the hospital, to force her into staying with him.”
If she disagreed, he threatened to have his men drive her father out of the hospital, ensuring no doctor in the city would dare to take him
- in.
Ma’am, is the Blackwood Family really this powerful? Do ordinary people like us not even have the right to live?”
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her body covered with scars from various instruments.”
“Alaric doesn’t treat me as a human being at all! If Miss Blackwood hadn’t taken the initiative to find me, I might have died
”
Thick bandages were wrapped around her wrists.
When I found her, she was about to commit suicide.
After seeing the girl off, my mother’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Alaric disregarded the law, arrogant and completely unrestrained.
She understood that if she let Alaric go on like this.”
Our family would be finished sooner or later.
The Blackwood Enterprise, built up over the past decade, would be destroyed by Alaric’s hands.N
That very night, she told my father everything.”
They both decided to cut off all of Alaric’s living expenses.
That would continue until he returned to being a normal, well–behaved child.
As for the young woman, I transferred her father to the Blackwoods‘ private hospital.
All expenses were waived.
The next day, Alaric stormed back home, furious and looking for trouble with me.
He kicked open my bedroom door, leaning insolently against the frame.
A cigarette dangled from his lips as he cursed.}}
‘Thalia, you shameless bitch!”
“You think you can touch my girl? Damn it, I’m giving you one day, get her dad out of that hospital.“@
I slowly stood up, looking at him with a mocking smile.
“I won’t. What are you going to do about it?”
“Damn it, you’re really asking for it! Believe me, I’ll beat you to death!”
“Even if you don’t get her father out, I have a thousand ways to make her life a living helll
He flicked the cigarette butt onto my bed, clenched his fist and lunged at me.
Qui parents weren’t home
12:29 PM M
Our parents weren’t home.
He had wanted to vent his resentment from all these years for a long time.
It was too bad for him. After returning that year, I pestered our parents to enroll me in a kickboxing class.}
I cracked my knuckles, finally getting a chance to practice.
I threw a punch at his right cheek.
Grabbing his arm, I executed an over–the–shoulder throw.
A howl of pain echoed through the entire villa.
Alaric’s arm was broken.
Was that all he’s got? He’s so weak.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t satisfied yet!2
I straddled him, landing punch after punch on his face.
