"What did you say—"
David Redington suddenly clutched at Zara Lucas's collar.
They had always thought that Michelle Carter was just being alarmist, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Mr. Lucas's dark eyes flickered with unprecedented panic.
She snatched the key from Zara Lucas's hand and shoved Michelle Carter away.
The force of the shove was so great that Michelle Carter's body uncontrollably slammed into the wall.
Dizzy and almost feeling her bones come apart, she had no time to struggle, gasping desperately for air as she clutched her throat.
"Mom, are you okay..." At that moment, David Redington also let go of Zara Lucas, and she cried as she rushed over.
"Who... who told you to take out the key..." Michelle Carter spoke with a strained voice.
Taking out the key would expose their plot.
If the Lucas family and Reddington family found out it was all their scheme, the consequences would be far worse than just dying at Mr. Lucas's hands.
