A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 98 Darlene Will Die

In the cold and damp basement, it was the most suitable for creatures like snakes, rats, insects, and ants who

disliked sunlight to survive.

These creatures were all poisonous. If a person was bitten by one of them, even if he could escape death, he would

be seriously ill.

Moreover, Vivian had always lived a pampered life. If she stayed here for a day or two, she would probably be

scared to death before she was poisoned.

She was not wearing shoes and was only wearing a thin dress. Her calves and feet were exposed, and she had

been bitten with wounds everywhere.

The smell of blood constantly attracted more rats and ants to attack Vivian.

Vivian was about to break down completely. In the dark room, she could not imagine what would be waiting for her

in the next second.

It was because of such uncertainty that it was even more terrifying and fatal.

Vivian even wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but when she really bit it, she found that she couldn’t

make it.

On the contrary, the huge and sharp pain made her desperate even more.

Vivian kept shrinking back, but she did not dare to touch the wall. Once she touched the wall, there might be

spiders sticking to her back.

That kind of feeling was creepy all the time, but Vivian did not dare to shout too much,

afraid that the sound would provoke something.

Vivian was covered in sweat, and her wet dress was stuck to her body, making her

tremble.

However, no one would come to help Vivian. On the contrary, every half an hour or an

hour, there would be a man arranged by Avery to bring in a large basin of water and

press her head in it.

When she was about to suffocate to death and only had one last breath left, the man pulled her out and threw her

to the ground.

Vivian had never tasted such pain before. She had never experienced the slightest of

pain before.

She could not live well, and she could not die. For the first time, she felt that this was

real hell.

Vivian tasted the pain of death time and time again, but she could not die no matter

what.

It was uncertain when the person who brought the water over was also uncertain came in, which made Vivian

constantly on tenterhooks and completely drove her crazy.

The door opened and footsteps came.

When Vivian thought that it was the person who brought the water in again, she was so scared that she could not

breathe. When the footsteps stopped not far from her, a cold male voice sounded.

“Where did you hide her?”

Vivian’s body suddenly stiffened. Because she was so shocked, her mind was a little

slow.

A moment later, she realized that it was Avery’s voice.

No matter how clear Vivian was, she knew all the torture she had suffered was undoubtedly from Avery’s order.

But Vivian still felt as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw, and she fearfully moved towards the direction of

the voice, “Avery, I was wrong, I know I was wrong.

“I beg you, please spare me this once. On the account that we have known each other since we were young, and

the Sheridan family has helped the Gallard family…

“Avery, please let me see Mr. Gallard once. Give me a chance to explain, give me a chance to reform. I beg you. I

really won’t dare to do it again.”

As Vivian spoke, she knelt on the ground with a deathly pale face, completely ignoring the pain in her body. She also

did not care about what was on the ground.

She knelt and begged for mercy desperately. She could no longer care about her image. as a noble young lady.

Her knees hit the ground heavily, and the smell of blood became heavier. Vivian cried

and begged, “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.

“But I left three years ago. There was really nothing I could do. I had no one to rely on. You were unconscious on

the bed. Jax forced me. I was really no match for him. Please believe me. I swear I really didn’t lie to you. I don’t

dare to lie to you.”

Trembling, Vivian crawled over and grabbed onto Avery’s trousers with her bloody hands. “Please believe in me this

time.”

“I was really scared when I framed Ms. Garcia. I was really scared when I was abroad for the past two years. I was

afraid that you would fall in love with her and abandon me. I was confused for a moment and blamed Mr. Bullock’s

fault on her.

“Avery, I really know that I was wrong. Please give me one last chance. Let ine see Mr.

Gallard.”

“Vivian, you are about to die. What are you daydreaming about? Are you wishing that my grandfather will save

you?” Avery kicked Vivian with hatred.

“I don’t want to listen to your ridiculous nonsense. Regarding your so-called difficulties and grievances, I have no

interest in listening to a single word. I will only ask you one

last time. Where is Darlene? Where did you hide her?”

Vivian was dumbfounded for a moment. “What Darlene? Avery, isn’t Ms. Garcia in the

hospital? Has she disappeared?”

Vivian used to speak like this in front of Avery. Her tone was sincere and pitiful, and her

words sounded innocent.

Avery believed in her words in the past so much, but now, he didn’t believe it at all, because it was already clear

that what Vivian said before was all lies.

Being forced out of the country by Darlene? Being framed by Darlene to have another. man’s child? But now the

evidence was conclusive. Vivian was the one who was in cahoots with Jax and was pregnant with Jax’s child abroad.

Seeing that Avery had recovered and that Teresa had died, Vivian shamelessly returned and dreamed of re-

entering the Gallard family.

So now, in Avery’s ears, whatever Vivian said was definitely not real, and the truth must be the opposite.

Vivian was anxious to explain again and again. She really did not know where Darlene

was.

But Avery’s suspicion deepened even more.

Avery raised his foot and kicked Vivian in the chest again. “You can be stubborn. I have plenty of ways to make you

say it. Well, do you want to wait until you have no other choice and then use Darlene to negotiate with me?

“Vivian, now that things have come to this, do you think your plan is still going well? Darlene must be in your hands.

Whether you admit it or not, it is an undeniable fact!”

Vivian had been so happy when she set Darlene up in the past, but now she was so

desperate when she was wronged.

If one lied too many times, no one would believe her. It was just like how Vivian used to

lie so many times in her tone of speaking the truth. Now that she was telling the truth,

there was no more credibility.

Vivian finally understood that it was impossible for Avery to be deceived by her

anymore.

Avery had already made up his mind to torture Vivian and would no longer be

soft-hearted toward her. As for her wanting to ask for help from others, Avery would

definitely not let her have this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Vivian suddenly remembered that Avery had just said that Darlene had

disappeared.

Wasn’t this chance for her, Vivian, to escape from death?

Vivian no longer begged, her gaze sinister as she laughed, “Since you don’t believe me,

then it seems that there is no need for me to continue acting. Darlene is in my hands. Avery, if you let me go, I will

give her to you.”

Avery squatted down and fiercely grabbed Vivian’s neck. “Do you think that I will still be tricked by you? If I let you

go, when you run out, you will find someone to ask for help or run away directly. Will you be able to give Darlene

back to me?”

Vivian laughed and said with difficulty, “Then kill me. Avery, do you dare? If you kill

me, you will never be able to find her.

“Oh right, there’s no need for that. You probably don’t know yet. Darlene won’t be able to live for more than two to

three months. As long as you delay for a little longer, even if you find her, she will already be dead.

“Avery, she has a terminal illness and will die very soon, but you can’t find her. You can’t find her. Hahaha, just

count the days and wait to collect her body!”

Avery’s eyes were red, and the palm of his hand suddenly exerted force, completely blocking Vivian’s voice. “What

did you say?”
