Lindsay was terrified
nt by femme fatale.
Only then did Landay realize what kind of woman Xyavion was At the same time, she understood what it meant
for
r more than half a month Errol was away on a business trip for more than half a month. Lindsay was being locked up in the basement by Xyavion too. Lindsay’s body was covered with bruises Xyavion did not give her anything to eat either Xyavion would only let her drink some water occasionally as if Lindsay was her prisoner.
Every night. Xyavion would put on the airs of a stepmother as she held a whip in her hand, She asked Lindsay to kneel before her and lecture her. She asked her to behave herself and not make any unnecessary struggle.
In order to survive, Lindsay could only compromise and how down to this vicious woman.
Lindsay tried to resist and escape but to no avail. Everyone in the house was Xyavion’s men. A home had turned into a demon’s den at that
On the day Errol returned from his business trip. Lindsay was finally released from the basement. However, she was in bad shape, with brunes all over her body. The wounds on her body were infected, causing her to suffer from high fever. Therefore, Xyavion sent her to the hospital and claimed that she was bring abused in school. Errol then went to the hospital to visit Lindsay. When Errol w his daughter’s injuries, he did not show concern for her at all at the moment he saw her. On the contrary, he blamed her for offending others in school.
“Look at what you have done to yourself! What have you done? Why did they beat you up till this manner? Why didn’t they abuse others instead! You’d better reflect on what you have done!”
Xyavion then turned into a loving and gemle stepmother all of a sudden and said beside Errol. “All right, all right. Calm down now. The child is insensible. Don’t be angry over it. Just lecture her for a while will do!”
She looked at Lindsay, who was lying on the bed in the ward with reddish cheeks due to the fever, and sighed as she said. “This child is quite pitiful though. It’s so hard to be a stepmother. Hubby, Lam so afraid that others will say that I am the one who tortured Lindsay.”
Errol comforted Xyavion hurriedly. He burst into flames all of a sudden and pointed his finger at Lindsay. He then continued to lecture Lindsay.
“Look at how badly you are injured now! Even if you don’t give a damn about how people look at you, you should be considerate and think for your stepmother! People would think that she ill treated you! Is that what you want! Do you want her to be humiliated in front of the crowd?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Lindsay lay on the bed with wounds all over her body. Upon seeing her father, who defended his newly–wed wife at all times, she felt extremely heartbroken and disappointed.
Nothing could bear the pain she felt in her heart now.
That was right! This was her father. Her biological father!
Since then, Xavion’s anitude towards Lindsay changed drastically. Sometimes, she even slapped Lindsay right in front of Errol. Yet, Errol felt that it was absolutely reasonable for Xyavion to discipline Lindsay in such a manner
Lindsay was placed under house arrest by Xyavion. It was not easy for her to endure until the school reopened. However, she did not expect that Xyavion had no intention to let her go to school at all. She even tore up Lindsay’s admission letter.
If Lindsay had not gone through so much trouble to escape from home and managed to apply for admission letter to the university again, she would have been killed by Xyavion by then.
Of course, Lindsay had a hard life in the past few years when she was at the university.
Due to the fact that Lindsay ran away from home. Errol refused to pay for her tuition fees. Lindsay had no choice but to rely on herself by working part–time to support herself. She worked exceptionally hard to complete her studies during that period,

the top of the social status based on the plastic surgery that she had done. I was wondering how could a face look so fake like hers!”
“A friend of mine in South Lexas told me that Xyavion was quite famous in that arra back then. Her nickname was “Xyavion Babe‘, Many people called her ‘The Book‘!”
“What do you mean by “The Hook?”
“It means that she would hook up on men with her charm and ensnare her lovers as she led them into compromising and deadly traps“.
Tif! If she was so capable back then, why didn’t she continuar to stay at South Lexas? Why did she decide to come to Naston instead and pollute the
fresh air here?”
“What else could it be? Her reputation was ruined and her sugar daddy kicked her out. She could not survive in that place anymore. Hence, she ran all the way to an unfamiliar place and changed her appearance in order to start it all over again. It is just a matter of time before she hooks up with
another honest man.
Shades of mockery and sarcastic words lingered around Xyavion’s ears. It had been years since anyone mentioned about her past. She had almost forgotten about it. Never did she expect that someone would expose her background here again.
“Enough!”
Finally, Xywion lost her cool and scolded furiously, “Do you have evidence to prove what you have said? How dare you slander me in such a manner? I can sue you for defamation! Wait for my lawyer’s letter then!”
Being outnumbered, Nyawion knew that she could not stay here any longer. She grabbed her handbag after she finished her words and intended to walk away. However, she was stopped by Pearl
Pearl stared at Xyavion and said in a cold tone. “What do you think this is, a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?”
How could in be possible for Xyarion to leave just like that after hitting someone?
Xyavion turned around and stared at Pearl as she said, “What do you want then?”
Then, Pearl said calmly, “Lindsay, I am sorry that I wasn’t by your side for the past few
Pearl simply ignored her and looked at Lindsay instead. T year to protect you and let you suffer so much!”
Linduy’s eyes welled up as she shook her head vigorously upon hearing what Pearl said.
Please don’t say so. Pearl. It has nothing to do with you who was not strong enough to protect my mother and myself!”
Mason felt so heartbroken upon seeing such a scene. He almost blurted out the words in his mind. Tll protect you from now on!
Pearl pulled Lindsay’s hands and said. “Today, I am giving you a chance to take your revenge. You may repay her with all the tight slaps and bumiliations she had given to you over the years. Do you dare to do it? Are you afraid
Lindsay lowered her head and looked into Pearl’s eyes. She could feel the power through the grip on her hands. With Pearl as her backing, she was not afraid of anything anymore at that moment
“I am not afraid!” said Lindsay. “But, I am afraid that I would get you implicated in this matter.”
Pearl then said calmly, “No, you won’t. I am not a person who likes to deal things with violence. But, there are always exceptions. Some things or people are so stubborn that they would never cooperate without violence, It can’t be helped either!”
Pearl sighed helplessly as she said. In the Law of the jungle, the weak were always the prey of the strong. She was so disappointed in the world where bad guys ruled,
“Mason!” Pearl instructed without even taking a glance at Xyavion, 1 remember we have a small black hut that was worn down by the years without repair in Woolery Starry Media. Is it still there?”
Mason responded and understood what Pearl meant immediately. He then asked the security guard to bring Xyavion over to the small black hut. Upon seeing such a scene, Xyamon’s face turned pale instantly. She said, “What are you trying to do? Let go of me! How dare you abuse the lynching? If you ever dare to lay your finger on me, I swear to God that I am going to… Hey! Hey! Hey!”
“shut up and go!”
Pearl patted Lindsay’s shoulder and said, “Do not be afraid of dirtying your hands! You may wash your hands clean after that, I will be you riglu here?

Lindsay nodded firmly. She knew that it
it was a chance given by Pearl.

Furthermore, it was the only chance in her lifetime.
How could Lindsay let Pearl down?
