Olivia looked at Jacqueline with a disdainful smile. "Scared? I thought you didn't feel fear. I won't kill you, Jacqueline Fordham. I'll make you watch your hard-won prizes vanish from your sight. You should know how it feels like to be at your wit's end."
"You can't do this to me, Olivia! This is torture! This is against humanity!"
"Humanity? Why should I treat you like a human?" Olivia yanked Jacqueline over by the wrist.
Jacquline couldn't break free due to the chains, and she was barely breathing from Leia's torture before Olivia's arrival. All she could do was to watch Olivia inject the cold liquid into her arm. The syringe soon emptied.
"I wanted to kill you even before I found out that you were my enemy." Olivia flung away Jacqueline's arm.
Olivia pinched Jacqueline's chin. "I know you're smart. Family is not the thing you care about the most. Love is not it either. It's an abundance of wealth and power. You worked so hard just to escape from poverty, that poor place you were born in.
"It surely wasn't easy to afford all those expensive clothes, was it? Well, I'll strip them off you one by one. Let's start with your face."
Olivia's fingers traced along Jacqueline's cheek. "Have you forgotten what your face looked like? You've used my face for so long. It's alright. I'll help you remember."
"You don't know what I looked like in the past!" Jacqueline barked.
"Oh really?" Olivia took her phone out. "Let me show you something interesting."
They were photos of the young Jacqueline. However, the last few photos were that of the face of a stranger.
At first glance, those were Jacqueline's biological parents from the mountains! There were photos of her two younger brothers and elder sister too! Jacqueline recognized them at a single glance.
