Here's the revised version of the translated text, ensuring cultural and language appropriateness for Western readers:

---

"Damn you, you wicked witch!"

The SWAT team already knew Matilda was purposely provoking Carter to make him slip up, giving them a chance to intervene. Still, this method of infuriating the criminal took them by surprise. Carter slammed Matilda to the ground once more, sending a piercing pain through her spine. Matilda thought she might have broken a bone.

Then, Carter stepped on her chest, pressing down hard, and Matilda spat out a mist of blood while lying on the ground!

"Matilda!"

Yvan's eyes reddened with fury. "Carter, stop it! Do you really want to spend your life behind bars?"

"Do you care?" Carter picked Matilda up like a broken doll, the knife's edge against her face. "What you did was a thousand times, a hundred times more cruel than this! When I had people break her fingers in prison, you didn't give a damn! Now, when I kick her a couple of times, you start to care?"

Yvan was struck as if by lightning, a tsunami of emotions welling up in his chest.

It was him... it was Rachel's father, whom he once revered!

Yvan couldn't believe it, his voice trembling, "You arranged for people to bully Matilda in prison?"

"So what if I did? She killed my daughter, so I made her life a living hell in prison. Fair's fair, isn't it?"

Carter cackled like a madman. "Yvan, all this is because you indulged it! It was you who said she should live a life worse than death, you who didn't care whether she lived or died! Without your word, I wouldn't have dared. I should thank you for giving me the chance!"

Matilda's eyes were bloodshot. At that moment, the physical pain was nothing compared to the heart-wrenching realization. It was Carter, Carter who orchestrated the brutality in prison, Carter who was responsible for her broken fingers, and all of it with Yvan's tacit approval, his indifference!

As if every stab was made in full view, he remained unaffected!
