It Was You

Chapter 798 Fulfill My Wishes

Beth's eyes were full of disappointment. After a long time, she shook off Kevin's hand, walked to the sofa and sat down. Her voice was dry and hoarse. "I have nothing now. What's the difference between death and not death? What do you want to say, Miss Cassandra?"

She had come to the end of the road. She was not even afraid of death. What else should she be afraid of?

Cassandra looked at Beth and said, "it's said that you need a good doctor to cure your heart disease. I'm afraid that Miss Beth's heart disease has gone deep into your bones. If you want to cure it, you have to cut a layer of skin off. I wonder if Miss Beth is willing to do that."

Hearing this, Beth's face turned pale and her eyes were bloodshot. She put her hands on her knees and gripped the hospital gown tightly. Her voice was trembling. "What... What do you want to say?"

Cassandra raised her head and stared at Beth without blinking. Then she said in three words slowly, "Lucian."

Beth's pupils contracted sharply. She covered her ears with her hands and curled up on the sofa. She shook her head and said, "I don't know who you are talking about. I know nothing. Don't ask me. I know nothing... Please let me go... Please..."

In the past, she got everything by illegal means, and then she was taken away. Now she was sick and couldn't live or die. This was her retribution. She admitted it. But once that matter was exposed again, wouldn't it add insult to injury and force her to die?

"Back then, Lucian trusted you so much and wanted to support you, but you were ungrateful. You joined hands with Roger and pulled him down from the altar, and even almost destroyed him..."

Speaking of this, Cassandra's voice paused and her face darkened. Her deep eyes were like an invisible hammer, hammering Beth's nerves. But before she could finish her words, she said in a cold voice, "for so many years, you have dreamed about him at midnight. Won't your conscience hurt?"

Her last sentence was like a thunderbolt, hitting Beth's heart.

Beth's face was distorted in pain, and she even stopped breathing. Her heart was heaving violently... I beg you, stop it..."

She thought she could hide the good from the bad and become rich from now on, but in the end, she became a chess piece in the hands of others, allowing others to play with her, and finally ended up with nothing.

Cassandra's eyes fell on her, like the coldest and sharp knife in the world, rolling across Beth's heart. The pain spread, and life was worse than death.

Cassandra sneered, "Miss Beth, are you finally afraid now?"

Beth trembled like a lamb. With great difficulty, she buried her face into her palm. Tears drops went through her fingers and fell down along her fingertips.

Sometimes, only those inner demons trapped in the bottom of their hearts could break the last glimmer of hope.

Beth choked with sobs and said in a hoarse voice, "how can I not be afraid? It was my wishful thinking that I agreed to do that to Roger. In the past few years, as long as I fell asleep, I dreamed of him. He asked me why I hurt him, but I couldn't answer... I can't answer it..."

She wanted to redeem herself, but she didn't know what to do. Therefore, she fell down step by step, and finally destroyed everything she had stolen. She almost lost her life.

Cassandra exhaled a long turbid breath and said, "I have said so much, but in fact, I just want you to do one thing. I want you to personally announce the fact that you and Roger framed Lucian years ago, and return the justice you owe him."

Beth's pupils shrank and shook her head crazily. "No, I'm a disabled person now. No one will believe me even if I stand out to say it. Moreover, Roger won't let me go. I... I can't..."

Hearing this, Cassandra doesn't feel strange. Beth is not afraid of death, but some people will make her live worse than death. In the entertainment industry, Roger controls half of the entertainment industry. It's easy for him to make a person popular and red, and it's easy for him make a person to fall into the dust.

Beth doesn't dare to offend Roger. Otherwise, how could she rather shoot those restricted films than threaten Roger with this?

After a moment's silence, Cassandra looked up and said, "what if I can guarantee that you will leave the capital city safely and live the rest of your life comfortable?"

Beth's face is bleary, and her expression is a little trance staring at Cassandra. For so many years, she want to leave this cage like city and go to a place where no one knows her and start over again.

However, it was not easy?

The remotest corners of the globe, even if she left the territory of China and went abroad, Roger could still find her and send her back to hell.

The last trace of blood on Beth's face faded, and her face was as pale as paper. She looked at Cassandra in pain and said word by word, "do you know how it feels to be desperate? Do you think I have never thought of escaping? But I can't escape... Even if I go out to tell everyone that it was me

and Roger who harmed Roger, do you think anyone will believe it? They all take me as a lunatic. Everyone just wants to take advantage of me. Who will really stand up for me?"

Who would believe a madman's words?

Cassandra stared at Beth. At that moment, she suddenly saw herself from Beth. She was helpless and desperate in her previous life. Everything was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart. She had escaped countless times, but every time she was caught back, she was tortured more cruelly.

What was more terrible than death?

It was despair.

How could she not know what it felt like.

There seemed to be ice exploding in Cassandra's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She closed her eyes and looked deathly silent. "You just need to tell me whether you want to save yourself or not. If you want, I'll deal with the rest. This is the only chance for you to redeem yourself. Think it over and tell me the answer."

Beth's heart skipped a beat. She gripped the hospital gown tightly, which was wrinkled and stuck to her body.

Cassandra didn't mean to force her. She stood up from the sofa and was about to leave. But after two steps, she heard the hoarse voice of Beth behind her, "I promise you, I have lost everything, even if no one will believe what I said... I just want to fulfill my wish."

Cassandra took a deep breath and said, "Okay, have a good rest here and wait for my news."

Beth smiled bitterly, "Okay, thank you, Miss Cassandra."

Cassandra just nodded slightly and told Kevin to take good care of Beth. No one was allowed to see her, let alone anything happened to her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Kevin scratched his head and was confused. "Sister in law, your taste recently... It's a little mysterious."
