Through the narrow slit of the door, Yvonne could clearly see the disdain and contempt in Jacqueline's eyes.
"Yvonne, in fact, you can never get revenge against m e. You’re not as cruel as me, and you’re also not as clever as me. What can you do to get it? If I were you and someone dared to plot against me, I’d break her hands and feet so she’d never appear in front of me again," Jacqueline said coldly.
Yvonne opened her lips and suddenly found that she couldn't refute her words.
Indeed, as Jacqueline said, she was not as cruel and she didn't have any tricks up her sleeves. That was why she had always thought about making Jacqueline and her father pay the price for their sins through legal means.
"Yvonne, I called you stupid earlier, but do you know how stupid you are? You were so stupid that when you came back, you didn't tell Henry first. Instead, you came to the villa and threatened me instead. Well, obviously I can't let this opportunity slip, so you're the one who fell into your own trap." Jacqueline raised her hand and clenched it in front of Yvonne. 2
She was not holding anything, but Yvonne felt as if she was holding her.
"Yvonne, tell me, if you told Henry that you were still alive and that you were coming back, do you think you would've ended up in my hands now?" Jacqueline smiled at Yvonne.
Yvonne bit her lip and lowered her head.
She regretted it. She really did. 1
She should've told Henry that she was still alive and she should've also contacted him before going back. But after she saw the photo of him walking with Jacqueline, she felt so jealous that she went back alone sullenly. 1
She really was as stupid as Jacqueline said. 4
"What? You’ve got nothing to say?" Jacqueline noticed that Yvonne remained silent for a long time, so she pouted aloofly.
Yvonne still didn't respond.
Jacqueline didn't bother wasting so much either, so she returned to the car and took a lighter and a torch.
She ignited the torch with a lighter and returned to where she was standing while holding the torch.
When Yvonne heard the crackling sound of the torch, she raised her head and saw the strong flame outside the door. She immediately panicked and her body couldn't stop trembling.
"Jacqueline, stop!" Yvonne shouted anxiously.
Jacqueline sneered as she stared at the crack of the door. "Stop? I can't stop. I want you to die because I can only sit back and relax when you die. If you live, you’ll only take everything from me, isn’t that right?"
After Jacqueline finished speaking, she ignored Yvonne and walked towards the side of the door. She then walked to a window with a security gate and threw the torch in with a frantic look.
Her throw was accurate and the torch fell right on the gasoline. The fire suddenly rose and began to spread.
When Yvonne saw the fire burning, she was suddenly reminded of the fire a few days ago.
Although the fire was terrible, there was fortunately a lake where she could escape. But now, she couldn't even get out through the door and she had nowhere to escape.
The only thing she could do was to bang and knock on the door constantly as she tried to crack the door open.
But her body was unwell and she wasn't strong enough. After banging on the door for a long time, it didn't budge at all and she couldn't open it.
When she saw that the fire was getting bigger and the room starting to fill up with smoke, Yvonne was suffocating and her nose and mouth started watering. She also started feeling lightheaded, making her even more afraid.
She coughed and banged on the door as she shouted, Jacqueline, open the door. Open the door!"
Jacqueline was standing outside. She yawned and pretended not to hear her. She then turned around and walked towards the car before driving away.
As Yvonne listened to the sound of the car leaving, a trace of despair flashed across her eyes and she was deeply regretful.
She regretted not listening to Sam’s advice to tell Henry first before going back.
She regretted not learning from her past mistakes and decided to face the crazy Jacqueline alone.
She regretted not putting her guard up against Jacqueline just because they were at the villa... 1
"Cough cough..." The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to spread to where Yvonne was. She did not dare to stay next to the door any longer. She started looking around to find if there was any way she could escape.
