Chapter 1 Death
In the dark prison, the low, horrifying moans of the prisoners could be heard from time to time, as if demons were torturing them.
Deep inside the prison, someone huddled in the coldest corner.
She remained silent, her hands folded.
"No. 913, your sister is here to see you." The prison guard's voice suddenly snapped the woman back to reality.
The door opened, and a beam of light streamed in from the corridor. It shone on the woman's mangled face, and even her features had become distorted flesh and blood... The prison guard unconsciously lowered his head to avoid looking at her.
Another woman entered.
She wore a pair of luxurious, beautiful red high-heeled shoes with white sable fur.
Zoila Mooney covered her nose. She wasn't afraid of the deformed face and even laughed strangely.
"Hey, my dear sister, I've come to see you with your favorite cosmetics and luxury items. Are you very happy now?" she asked.
"Get out of here..." A low, hoarse voice came from the woman's body in the corner, sounding neither human nor ghostly.
"Well, let me examine your face... Why hasn't your face recovered yet?"
"Oh, how could I forget? I used ninety-eight percent concentrated sulfuric acid. You won't recover for the rest of your life."
"Mooney Hiss..."
The woman crawled across the floor, trying to lunge at Zoila.
She seemed to be grinding her teeth and screaming, but her lips were corroded by the sulfuric acid, and she couldn't speak at all.
Zoila crouched down to look at her and said condescendingly, "Do you know what you look like now? Do you still want revenge on me?"
"Yvonne, I endured all these years just for today! Do you remember that day your father had a brain hemorrhage?" Mom and I didn't send him to the hospital, and he died... The Taylor family, including you, always looks down on others. Hahaha. Do you know how happy I was to see your father die on the floor, foaming at the mouth? I feel the same way now that you're lying in front of me like a dog! Hahaha...
"Zoila Mooney, I'm going to kill you. I'm definitely going to kill you—" Yvonne roared silently.
However, in reality, she couldn't utter a single syllable!
There was only a low growl that echoed through the prison like the cry of a ghost.
"Don't worry, Yvonne. Even if you die, I'll take care of your fiancé.
"I'm already pregnant with Jordan's child. From today on, Jordan Yale will be his brother-in-law."
The woman continued crawling on the floor.
She continued trembling.
As Zoila spoke, she pulled a bottle of unknown liquid from her bag, opened the cap, and poured it directly onto Yvonne's face.
"Ah—" Yvonne screamed in horror and did her best to shield herself from the corrosive liquid again. No matter how hard she struggled, she was soaked!
"Don't waste my gift to you." Zoila smiled sinisterly and spoke. With the glass bottle in his hand, he poured the entire contents onto that face covered in flesh and blood. However, the liquid wasn't sulfuric acid and even gave off a faint fragrance.
"Sister, this is the best water essence in the world. Maybe it'll help your ugly face recover. Hahaha, hahaha..."
The woman on the floor felt sad and angry at the humiliation.
She had never felt so ashamed in her life.
She used to be the arrogant, domineering, superior woman of Hiltonan.
However, her father was dead. And the murderer was Sarah Mooney, her stepmother, the one her father had trusted the most.
All her past glories were gone.
Zoila threw the glass bottle into the corner.
"Yvonne, if you go to hell with this face... Will Mr. Leinster still recognize you?"
In that instant, that corpse stirred!
Zachary Leinster.
This name was like the sharpest sword in the world, piercing her heart.
Mr. Leinster...
The only man who truly loved her.
She had fallen in love with the wrong person, Jordan Yale, and vowed to follow him with her life.
Unexpectedly, that scum had allied himself with Zoila Mooney and Sarah Mooney to push her from the ocean liner into the open sea and kill her on that stormy night.
In that critical moment, Zachary Leinster saved her.
They had pulled her to the deck in time, but that man had sunk to the bottom of the sea forever.
The deaths of her father and Zachary Leinster had completely broken Mooney. Zoila took advantage of the situation to corrode her face with sulfuric acid, defame her by claiming she was the murderer, and send her to prison.
"Do you know why I pleaded with the court not to sentence you to death?"
In the darkness, Zoila smiling face was as sinister as a poppy.
"I want you to live forever, and live a life worse than death!"
"My dear sister, enjoy the most cruel pain of your life here! Hahaha..."
She burst into a terrible laugh.
After Zoila left, Yvonne looked at the knife she had been hiding nearby.
She had once thought that if one day she suffered a fate worse than death, she shouldn't live in humiliation at least...
Her father had been deliberately murdered by her stepmother and stepsister.
The man who loved her most was also dead.
To prevent him from sinking at sea, Mr. Leinster died without an intact body.
She hadn't lived up to her father's expectations. She had easily believed her hypocritical stepmother and stepsister, and she had also misjudged Jordan Yale, the scum.
She was obsessed with him, mad for him, and had betrayed the world for him. But he and his "good sister" ruined her family.
Zoila Mooney was right. She would rather die now than suffer mental devastation.
Yvonne took a deep breath. Holding the icy blade in her hand, her face wore a peaceful expression. Death was what she desired most at this moment.
"Dad, Zachary Leinster
"If there were an afterlife, I would protect you..." she thought.
