Chapter 86 Murderer
Genesis's POV:
Looking at the furious Savannah, I stood still without moving.
Savannah kicked the phone fragments and laughed triumphantly. "Now that the phone is gone, what are you going to threaten Maria and me with?"
I took out my notebook and calmly wrote a line: [This was just a backup. I have many more in my cloud storage.]
"You bitch! You're just like your shameless whore mother! Only using these disgusting methods!" Savannah went crazy, cursing nonstop.
The more I listened, the uglier my expression became. Learning from Eli's example, I kicked her hard.
Savannah didn't expect me to attack her like this. She almost fell to the ground and could only awkwardly grab onto a pillar for support.
[If you dare curse my mother one more time, I'll post Maria's video online just like you did.]
"You!"
Savannah was furious but didn't dare make any more moves. She just glared at me viciously.
I quietly met her gaze until she unnaturally looked away.
"What do you want?" Savannah demanded harshly.
Seeing her reluctant but forced submission, waves of pleasure rose in my heart.
So this was what it felt like to watch someone you hate suffer?
I still remembered when I first arrived at the Martinez family. Savannah had whipped me countless times for no reason. She even falsely accused me of stealing her jewelry and hung me in the basement for three days and nights!
If Susan hadn't secretly brought me food, I might have died already!
My hand gently touched my shoulder blades. The scars from when Lennon pierced through them were still there. The numbing pain seemed to linger in my body.
I hated her.
Any punishment was too simple for me. I wanted to destroy her on the spot!
Since what she cared about most was her dignity, I'd start with that!
I coldly wrote a few words: [Kneel down and slap yourself twenty times while apologizing to my mother.]
"Don't go too far!" Savannah violently refused. "I will never do that!"
[Then I'll have to post the video online.] I mockingly glanced at her and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Savannah angrily called me back and reluctantly knelt down.
The noble lady who once tormented me from her high position was finally tasting punishment today.
I felt no unease. Instead, I stood calmly in place, watching her actions.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The crisp sounds of slapping echoed in the living room, quickly drawing attention from others.
Maria rushed out, shocked to see Savannah. "Mom! What are you doing?"
She tried to stop Savannah's hand but was dodged.
"Mom!" Maria panicked and turned her gaze to me. "It's you! You bitch, how dare you treat my mother like this! I'll sell you to the red light district..."
"Enough!"
Savannah, probably afraid Maria would anger me, quickly stopped her.
"If you hadn't done such shameless things, why would I be kneeling here!" Savannah cursed through gritted teeth.
Maria was stunned. After hearing Savannah quietly mention the video, she finally understood that I had recorded her affair with the gardener.
She wanted to curse more but was afraid I'd really release the video. She could only stare at me with a pale face full of resentment.
Only after both sides of her face were red and swollen did Savannah barely complete the twenty slaps.
Maria quickly helped her up.
Savannah didn't dare look at me again and let Maria help her walk to the door to get in the car.
I knew Maria wouldn't give up, but so what?
At least now I had made Savannah receive the punishment she deserved. If she didn't want the video spread all over the internet, she wouldn't bother me for now.
Following their path, I looked toward the door.
"Uncle!" Maria happily greeted the man waiting by the car door.
I instinctively followed her voice and looked over. Sensing my gaze, the man sharply looked up and met my eyes.
In that instant, fear from the depths of my memory gripped my heart tightly.
Dad's back as he was shot, Mom's eyes that never closed even in death, and the thick blood that covered the floor and dripped onto my face...
It was him!
It was the man who killed my parents!
I suddenly widened my eyes. My vision went black and I fainted!
Delilah's POV:
"Bear with it."
I sat in the hospital room, watching the doctor clean my wounds with a scalpel on my face.
When the disinfectant poured onto my wounds, the sharp pain almost made me scream.
My face was already burned beyond recognition. The intense pain reminded me of Jacob.
His shot didn't kill me. It just knocked me unconscious. Later, when they set fire to the farm, it actually woke me up.
It was all because of him that I had to endure this here!
But Eli killed him for me!
When I learned this news, I laughed until tears came out.
Eli must have thought Jacob killed me, so he was avenging me! He must be heartbroken now, realizing how much he loved me only after losing me!
I had to get better quickly. I couldn't let Eli be sad for me!
Now without the burden of family, I could be with him without any worries!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. I wished I could appear in front of Eli right now!
"Doctor! Come see how she is!"
Just as I was eagerly anticipating my reunion with Eli, a familiar voice appeared in the room.
I looked over in shock and saw Eli rushing into the room, tightly holding that bitch!
He carefully and gently placed that bitch on the hospital bed, loudly calling for the doctor to examine her.
Seeing Eli show a tenderness I had never seen before, I was stunned.
Was this still the Eli I knew?
I couldn't help but blurt out, "Eli?"
Eli, who was already busy, impatiently turned around. Seeing my injured state, he frowned.
"Who are you?"
He didn't know who I was!
I stared wide-eyed at him in shock.
How could he not know who I was?
Seeing that I didn't answer, he was too lazy to deal with me and turned back to observe Genesis's condition.
I wanted to call him again, but then I heard him say, "It's all that crazy woman Delilah's fault for daring to kidnap you and hurt you! It must be because your body hasn't fully recovered that you fainted."
Eli's words hit my face like countless slaps.
I never expected he would call me a crazy woman for that bitch's sake!
My hands clenched into tight fists. I wanted to tear that bitch apart right now! But my injuries reminded me that I couldn't hurt that bitch at all right now!
I gritted my teeth and decided to spare that bitch for now!
I dragged my injured body slowly out of the room, still planning how to kill that bitch.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Maria, who recognized me immediately.
"Delilah?" Maria looked at me tentatively.
