Rogue

Chapter 66

Bethany locked George and Meghan in a room in the mansion’s second basement.

The Gallagher residence had two basement floors and three above ground floors,

The housekeepers lived on the first basement floor.

The rooms on the second basement floor were mainly used for storage

Bethany locked them up in the second basement because the housekeepers were all on vacation. No one would know.

When Bethany got home, she immediately took the flashlight and went to the second basement floor.

The room where George and Meghan were locked up was in a corner with a thick door. As long as the door was closed, even if they screamed inside, they couldn’t be heard on the floor above

Moreover, there was also a door in the middle of the second basement floor leading to the first basement floor. Once that door was closed, the sound would be even less audible.

That was why she kept George and Meghan at home with no worries

Bethany opened the door to that room and shone a flashlight inside. The room instantly lit up.

The air was filled with a strong, unpleasant smell of blood.

George and Meghan hung their heads from the stake, looking as if they were dead.

Bethany was a little scared, and her heart began to pound

She had been obedient all her life. It was the first time she had done such a crazy thing, and she couldn’t stay calm.

She could not control her nervousness and fear, even if she was determined to kill them.

Bethany took a deep breath, swallowed her fear, and went inside,

She approached George and put her right forefinger under his nose to feel if he was breathing.

However, the next second, George suddenly moved and bit her finger.

“Ah!” Bethany screamed. She was startled, and the flashlight in her hand fell to the ground.

She raised her foot and angrily kicked George between his legs.

ce screamed in pain and let go of the bite.

George

He had just managed to stop the bleeding from his wound, but it started bleeding again because of Bethany’s kick.

George was furious.

“Bitch! You vicious bitch! Let me go! I’ll come back and haunt you as a ghost!” he cursed.

George was already very weak, and even though he was furious, his curses lacked the strength to deter Bethany in any way.

Meghan raised her head weakly, awakened by George’s scream.

When she saw Bethany, she immediately pleaded weakly, as if she had found her last hope, “Mom, please let me go. I know I was wrong. As long as you release me, I’ll do whatever you want. Please don’t let me die. Boohoo…”

Bethany frowned.

She thought, “How can they have such a resilient life! They’ve lost so much blood and suffered severe injuries, and yet they’re still alive!

Bethany made up her mind, took the flashlight, and shone it on the ground for a while. Then she found the dagger she had left there yesterday.

-She then picked up the dagger.

George stopped cursing abruptly.

When he saw Bethany looking at him with a dagger, his body began to tremble again. He said in horror, “Calm down, honey. Don’t do anything stupid, Killing people is illegal. If you kill me, you can’t escape yourself. Pleasel As long as you let me go, I promise not to call the police or hold you accountablef

Meghan said hastily. “And me… Mom, please let me go! I promise I won’t call the police or tell anyone! I’ll tell the others that we did the wounds.

ourselves!”

George nodded vigorously and added, “Yes, yes. Our injuries have nothing to do with you. If you let us go now, it’s as if nothing happened! Honey, don’t get yourself into jail just because of your impulse! You’re only 50, and you still have 50 years to live. Please don’t do anything foolish!”

Meghan said. “Mom, it’s not worth sacrificing yourself for us. Please stop now!”

Bethany asked coldly, “How am I supposed to explain to Evangeline if I let you go? I let you go to kill Eddie?”

George hurriedly reassured, “No, no, no. I won’t hurt Eddie, not even a hair on his head!”

Bethany sneered as she said, “Then, what should we do?”

George replied, “Just let Evangeline make the video public. I don’t care about my reputation!”

Meghan nodded and chimed in, I don’t care either?”

It was better for her reputation to be ruined than dead.

They were so rich that even if their reputation was tarnished, they could still live a comfortable life.

Bethany said in a gloomy voice, “No way. If the video of your cheating is exposed, it won’t just ruin your reputation. The entire family will become the target of public scorn. Meghan, you’ve been throwing yourself at 5am all over the livestream. If the video of you and George is exposed, others will maliciously speculate about your relationship with Sam. Not only Sam, but also Eddie and Jas. They may be suspected of having an affair with you! That video must not be exposed!”

Meghan shook her head vigorously and cried.

“Mom, please let me go. You only need to kill Dad. Evangeline said that as long as there was news of death in the family, it would be enough. I was forced by him. I didn’t do it voluntarily. Mom, please let me go! Mom, you watched me grow up. I believe you couldn’t bear to kill me, she pleaded. NôvelDrama.Org content.

George was enraged and said. “You wicked woman! I was truly blind before, deceived by you, spoiled you for so long, and now, you’re slandering me to excuse yourself! It’s you who seduced me! Honey, don’t listen to her nonsense. She seduced me. Honey, we’ve been married for 30 years, Do you really want to kill me? Although I made a mistake, I used to be nice to you. Have you forgotten our wonderful moments together? Please, honey. Just kill Meghan and let me take care of you. You’ve never suffered. If I die, who will take care of you in the future?”

Meghan cried, “Mom, don’t believe him. He’s lying to you. If you let him go, he’ll take revenge and kill you in the future! But I’m different. I won’t do anything cruel, like killing people. Mom, please let me go

Slap!

Bethany slapped Meghan’s face with hatred in her eyes.

She said with a laugh, “You can’t do such a cruel thing as killing people Meghan, how dare you say that? You pushed Evangeline off the cliff and prevented others from saving Sam. Do you think Eve forgotten? I would have kicked you out of the house if George hadn’t spoken for you and claimed you were frightened! You’re the cruelest one!”

Meghan shook her head and started to cry.

After Bethany left the hospital, Edward got up from the bed and walked alone to sit in the yard behind the inpatient department,

He sat on a bench, looking up at the faint moon in the sky, feeling a little depressed.

He must have guessed what Bethany was up to.

He thought. Is Mom planning to take action against George and Meghan? Maybe she already has

When he guessed what Bethany was going to do, he didn’t think of stopping her. He deliberately pretended not to know anything.

In fact, he had always looked down on Bethany

She was hopelessly romantic.

All she had in mind were e trivial household affairs. She only revolved around household affairs without having a career.

She didn’t have to do much around the house in a family like theirs, just idle away her days without much social engagement.

Thanks to the Gallagher family, who had always been the richest in Hofcaster and enjoyed a high status in the circle, she didn’t need to socialize with others or contribute to the family business.

Moreover, she was unassertive at all. She would be in a panic even when something trivial happened.

She could only cry and rely on others to help her clean up her messes.

She was so naive that she fell for many old tricks and ended up losing her money

She had no merits except that she was born and married well.

Now, she was going to kill George and Meghan to protect the reputation of the Gallagher family, the only meaningful thing she had ever done in

her life.

However, Edward was still a little depressed.

He was still too emotional.

Edward’s mind was in turmoil, and he didn’t want to rehim to the ward and rest.

He sat on the bench and took out his phone to kill time.

He logged on to Twitter and wanted to see what was happening online.

But when he logged on to Twitter, he found his private messages flooded.

His Twitter post about treating Pamela’s mother and caring for her in her old age had received millions of comments.

Edward scrolled through the comments.

They were all insults and curses directed at him.

Even the private messages in his inbox were filled with curses, and some people even made his black and white photos to curse him.

All of the celebrities and partners who used to follow him on Twitter had also unfollowed him.

e used to have over ten million followers, but now he only had over three million.

He

Edward looked terribly gloomy.

He had no idea what was happening

He mused, ‘I proved that Evangeline didn’t kill anyone, and I helped with Pamela’s funeral. These are good deeds, so the Netizens shouldn’t have scolded me.

He already knew about the video proving Evangeline’s innocence while he was in the hospital.

Edward pursed his lips and immediately checked the trending topic.

[Pamela’s mother.]

[Pamela was forced to die by Edward]

[Edward framed Evangeline for Pamela’s death.]

[The video Pamela left before her death.]

[Pamela’s mother accused Edward of being heartless and malicious.]

[Pamela’s mother made the letter left by Pamela public.]

[Pamela’s mother w

was upset that she ended up in the ICU

[Evangeline is really miserable]

Edward clenched his phone tightly with a gloomy face when he saw those trending topics.

He tapped on one of the trending topics: [The video Pamela left before she died.]

There was a video in it.

The beginning of the video was a quick shake and a shot of his face.

Then the video went completely black, but he could hear his voice when he spoke to lamela.

That was the night before Pamela jumped off the building. The video captured their conversation during their face–to–face meeting.

Edward clenched his fist tightly.

He thought in anger, Pamela is so scheming She actually recorded it
