Chapter 224 Teaching Wendy a Lesson

“Good. Tearing her apart wouldn’t be excessive. This matter is in your hands now.”

The Lewis and Fulton families had reached an understanding. It was clear what kind of fate. awaited Wendy.

In a dim and damp room, Wendy’s hands and feet were bound together. Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and a smelly sock was stuffed into her mouth. She couldn’t speak and could only make muffled sounds.

At this moment, the door to the dark room was opened, and footsteps approached her.

When Wendy felt someone’s presence, she struggled incessantly and whimpered, seemingly pleading for mercy.

Grace stood there, looking down at Wendy coldly. Finally, she said, “It’s me, Grace.”

As her voice sounded, Wendy’s movements abruptly stopped. She looked toward Grace’s direction, but she couldn’t see anything.

Grace reached out to remove the black cloth. Suddenly, fear filled Wendy’s eyes, and her b*dy

trembled.

In contrast, Grace scoffed coldly. “What? Are you afraid now? Why weren’t you afraid when you set the fire?”

Wendy shook her head in fear. Tears filled her eyes and flowed uncontrollably.

However, Grace showed no mercy. She reached out and removed the smelly sock from Wendy’s mouth.

Following that, Wendy’s trembling voice sounded. “Grace, I was wrong. Please spare me.”

Grace laughed, but her laughter had no warmth.

“Spare you? Why didn’t you think of sparing me when you set the fire?” Wendy had obviously been aiming to take Grace’s life.

The fire had been so big.

If it hadn’t been for the rescue services‘ timely arrival, everyone would have perished in the

Now, Wendy had the gall to ask Grace to spare her.

That would never happen.

“Grace, I didn’t mean it. I was just angry and wanted to teach you a lesson. I never thought of

It was unbearable. It was even worse than killing her.

“Heh, this is nothing. Lydia got lung pneumonia because of you and is still being treated in the hospital. Xander has second–degree burns on his back and scars of various sizes on his

arms, all thanks to you.

“You harmed my friends and family, and you’re asking me to spare you? Wendy, do you think so highly of yourself?”

Wendy kept begging for mercy. “Grace, please kill me. Kill me. Give me a quick death! Please!”

She really couldn’t take it anymore.

She continuously knocked her head on the wall, begging for mercy.

Before long, a gash appeared on her forehead, and fresh blood stained her entire face.

However, Grace didn’t relent at all. She looked coldly at Wendy, as though she were looking at a clown performing.

Finally, she said, “I won’t take your life, but I will make you suffer.”

“No, Grace! Don’t!” Wendy’s desperate screams filled the entire room. Without looking back, Grace strode away decisively.

After Grace left, a snake slithered in, hissing slowly.

Wendy’s greatest fear was snakes.

At the sight of the snake, her eyes filled with terror. “No! No!”
