"Shut up! Shut up!" Seraphina shouted, but Isla felt smug. Whatever needs to be told has already been said.
'This time, Ivy will reward me handsomely! Ah! Water! I can finally drink water!' Isla thought joyfully. She was a bit delirious from hunger and thirst, and hence let out such a huge secret without any hesitation.
Seraphina closed her eyes in despair. She was planning to use these secrets as a trump card and get a better deal for all of them, but now… her good daughter had ruined all the hopes.
Hate and resentment filled Seraphina's heart. 'Till now, I always thought that since Ivy isn't related to me by blood, she would betray me. But in the end, it is my own daughter who pushed me into the abyss.'
Ivy stared at them before chuckling. Slowly, her chuckle transformed into chilling laughter, making the Ravencroft family shiver in fright.
"What a bunch of stupid people." She muttered as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "And you all believed that bullsh*t?"
