Chapter 100: Chapter 100

"You are quite amusing." Seraphina Redgrave couldn’t help but mock.

She turned to look at Lena Lynch: "When you raise animals for meat, do you expect them to thank you?"

It seemed she wasn’t planning to hide that she was Seraphina Redgrave.

This made things easier.

Lena looked at Seraphina, her gaze growing increasingly tender: "Seraphina, you can’t think that way. Those poultry, even if left in the wild, they might survive, but what about children? Can they survive?"

Human infants are too fragile; they can’t survive if left outside.

Seraphina stared at Lena, wondering why she hadn’t noticed before how glib her foster mother was.

"No matter how heartless you are, you must know that the only reason you’re alive today is because the Redgrave Family didn’t leave your body out in the wilderness." Lena pointed at Seraphina, emphasizing each word.

No matter what, she was just an abandoned child.

Hearing this, Seraphina stepped up to Lena, coldly staring at her: "Didn’t you previously abandon me to the forbidden zone, hoping I would die? I have nothing to do with the Redgrave Family anymore."

Lena looked at Seraphina, her eyes slowly filling with tears: "When it was cold, I was the one who dressed you up. When you were hungry, I made you milk. I went to your parent-teacher meetings."

"Weren’t you the one who said you liked me the most? You even said you wished I were your biological mother, that we could always be mother and daughter. When the Redgrave Family wanted to send you to the forbidden zone, I begged Jonathan bitterly. I was so heartbroken, I fell sick. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the medical report."

"I’m standing here talking to you because of these things; otherwise, why do you think I’m here?"

Seraphina’s gaze was icy cold.

If there were any good times she had in the Redgrave Family, it would have been thanks to Lena.

If Lena hadn’t genuinely been good to her, she wouldn’t be here listening to them speak these words. Check latest chapters at novel•fire.net

"Seraphina, I’m glad you acknowledge it." Lena wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes: "Let’s not talk about Jonathan and Mona now, just about me. I’ve been good to you, yet how do you treat me now? You’re pushing me to my death!"

"If you truly think I did you any good, then you’re repaying kindness with vengeance!"

Though Lena was loudly reprimanding her, her expression was increasingly sorrowful, with tears falling continuously.

Upon hearing these words, Seraphina looked into those sorrowful eyes and suddenly understood everything.

She burst out laughing, the laughter filled with ridicule.

Lena, who was getting emotional, was completely stunned upon hearing Seraphina laugh as if her emotions were on the verge of disappearing.

Mia Redgrave shouted angrily: "Are you crazy?"

You’re out of your mind!

"Yes, I’m crazy. It turns out you’re the cruelest to me."

Taking a few steps, she looked at Lena, her voice becoming calm: "Jonathan Redgrave and Mia Redgrave are openly evil, wanting my life, but you—you want both my body and soul to perish."

Lena’s previous kindness was all fake. If she were truly good, how could she stand by and watch Seraphina be abandoned to the forbidden zone?

If it were Mia being abandoned to the forbidden zone, Lena wouldn’t just simply beg. She’d risk her life to save Mia. But this tiny issue was even used by Lena to threaten her.

Lena was truly cruel.

Acts that were nothing at the time now have their use.

Lena firmly denied, her voice choked: "Seraphina, how can you say such things? It seems that you don’t care about all the good your mother did for you. Fine, you can leave. Your mother will die alongside the Redgrave Family. After all, you grew up on your own, nothing to do with me."

Mia, seeing there might be a turnaround, immediately sided with Lena to accuse Seraphina: "You think your upbringing has nothing to do with the Redgrave Family at all? Seraphina Redgrave, you are such an ungrateful wretch! If the Redgrave Family didn’t raise and educate you, you’d have died long ago! Now you’re not only sending my father to prison, but also letting my mother die before your eyes. You are truly heartless!"

Mia conveniently omitted her sins against Seraphina.

Seraphina really didn’t want to listen to them brainwash her, but those words sank into her heart word for word, each phrase striking heavily on her eardrums.

Without the Redgrave Family, she wouldn’t be alive today.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were clear: "Fine, I will repay the favor."

From today onwards, she would repay the Redgrave Family’s kindness in full.

Afterwards, she would no longer have anything to do with the Redgrave Family!

Upon hearing those words, Lena’s eyes lit up: "Are you willing to confess?"

As long as Jonathan Redgrave could get out of prison, everything else would be negotiable.

"You two are overly optimistic."

Mia glared at Seraphina in anger, her mood plummeting from the peak to the trough; what exactly did Seraphina want to do?!

Seeing Seraphina had intentions of letting the Redgrave Family go, Lena immediately said: "Just this once, the last time. Forgive Jonathan, and you will have no further ties with the Redgrave Family. After this, whatever you want to do to the Redgrave Family, I will no longer interfere."

For now, the priority is to get Jonathan out. More will be said once he’s out.

But Seraphina was no longer the old Seraphina.

After Jonathan’s scandals were exposed, Lena realized that Seraphina might genuinely be a threat to the Redgrave Family, so she had long stopped considering Seraphina as part of the family.

That’s why today happened.

By any means, Seraphina had to confess today.

Seraphina spoke in a cold tone, giving no room for compromise.

"Since I would’ve died long ago without the Redgrave Family, I’ll just give my life back to them."

Lena was stunned for a moment. Seraphina quickly grabbed a bottle of medicine and downed the poison in one swift motion.

Mia collapsed onto the chair, staring at Seraphina, her eyes filled with terror.

Seraphina would rather die than let the Redgrave Family go.

Lena was also rendered speechless, staring at Seraphina, unable to say a word.

How could Seraphina be so decisive, swallowing that poison in one gulp?

Seraphina swallowed the poison and then turned the bottle over in front of Lena.

The bottle was empty.

She carelessly tossed it away, and it rolled out of sight.

Mia and Lena were speechless, looking at Seraphina as if they were seeing a monster.

Seraphina, choked by the poison, coughed softly twice, then displayed an extremely casual smile.

She looked at Mia and Lena, speaking clearly and deliberately: "I’ve returned this life to the Redgrave Family today; Jonathan Redgrave must die!"

Her gaze was fierce, and her words showed no sign of compromise.

No matter if she ironically survived today, or unfortunately died, she had no ties with the Redgrave Family anymore.

Let it be considered that when the Redgrave Family took her back, it ended her life with a bottle of poison.
