Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 1480

Sonia was suffocating from being grasped by the neck, and her face turned purple. It felt exceptionally uncomfortable as tears gushed out of the corners of her eyes. However, she did not beg Tina to let her go. How could she be willing to beg Tina for mercy when Tina was her biggest enemy? Begging someone crazy like her would only add to her arrogance and pride.

"What a joke!" Sonia parted her lips and mocked in a raspy voice. "You said I was responsible for everything that happened to you. Without my existence, abduction, or letters with Toby, you, Tina Gray, would never have become the Gray Family's daughter or even have this name! Heck, you wouldn't even have gotten to know Toby. I allowed you to live a wealthy life with parents who care about you, but not only was there no gratitude, you even blamed everything on me!"

At that point, Tina's face twisted even uglier as she could not accept those words. That was because she knew in her heart that if Sonia had not been taken, she would not have become Tina Gray. Instead, she would only be an ordinary woman living among everyone. Perhaps, she would work a nine-to-five job or use her pretty face to her advantage and get involved with wealthy men.

But so what? The reality isn't like that. Sonia was snatched, and the Grays adopted me, Tina Gray. I am a lucky person! Why not let me continue enjoying that? Why must things be set right by letting Toby discover I'm not Maple or have my parents realize that Sonia is their real daughter? That isn't fair!

"So, you must be happy, aren't you? You're happy to see me down and out, right?" Tina pulled Sonia forward by her neck, decreasing the distance between them. "Despite the abduction, you could still return to your mom and dad. Even if I took away your identity as Maple, Toby could still recognize you for you. Are you happy you chased me out of the Gray Family and put me into this situation?"

Sonia gazed at her coldly. "Yes, you're right. I am happy to see that because this is the ending of someone as vicious as you deserve!"

"You—" Tina was so angry that she was about to explode but suddenly began laughing hysterically. "You're on the verge of death, yet you still dare to provoke me. Oh, Sonia. Have you forgotten you're now in my hands? The one who's going to have a bad ending is you. What do you think I should do to you? You took everything from me, so I wouldn't let you go so easily. I heard you're pregnant…" Her hand slowly lowered until she reached Sonia's belly.

At that moment, Sonia's eyes contracted as she paled and anxiously yelled, "What are you gonna do? Tina, if you dare hurt my child, I'll make sure you'll die a painful death!"

"Are you threatening me?" Tina sneered. "Do you think I'd be scared of you? You're now in my hands, so the one dying painfully is you!"

While tightening her grip around Sonia's neck, Tina was satisfied when she saw Sonia having difficulty breathing. "There wasn't a moment when I stopped thinking about what I would do to you if you fell into my hands. Now that my wishes have been realized and you're finally in my hands, I'll ensure you can enjoy the most painful punishment in this world. How about we start with your child? Since you care so much about it, I'll take it away, and you'll taste hell! How about that?!"

With that, she let go of Sonia's neck and clenched her hand into a fist. Then, she swung it at Sonia's belly with a twisted smile.

"No!" Sonia turned ghastly.

Just as Tina's fist was about to touch Sonia's belly, a hand suddenly appeared and caught Tina's wrist. "You can't hit her belly."

Xander stared at Tina coldly, prompting her to scream, "Why?"

"Her health report says that she's weak. If you hit her until she gets a miscarriage, she will die. How are we going to threaten Toby with a dead woman? That'd only make him even crazier and act more recklessly. By then, we wouldn't be able to reach our goal, so you can't do anything to her child," he explained.

"What?" She gnashed her teeth, obviously unwilling to accept the reality.

However, Sonia felt greatly relieved upon hearing that. No matter what happened, she was relieved she could keep her child safe. As for the rest, she would try her best to hold on because she believed Toby would come to her and her baby's rescue.

On the other hand, Xander looked at Tina's reluctant expression and narrowed his eyes. "This is Mr. Salzburg's order. If you dare to disobey and kill her by taking away her child, you wouldn't be able to keep your life either. That'd be like going down to hell with her. Therefore, I suggest you give it a thought." After saying that, he flung away Tina's hand.

Perhaps, her near-death experience on the operation bed when having her full-body reconstruction surgery scared Tina, causing her to fear death. I don't wanna die!

At the same time, she knew Connor was a ruthless man who would kill anyone he liked. Therefore, she dared not question his words and could only retract her hand no matter how unwilling she was.

"Fine. I won't hit her belly, but I can hit other parts, right? I refuse to believe she'll die and get a miscarriage from that!" Once Tina finished, she slapped Sonia again.

Sonia's face flung to the side, the burning pain made her ears buzz, but she did not make a sound. From the beginning, she knew she could not survive this situation uninjured because Tina would do something to her. Therefore, she had mentally prepared herself and decided not to make a sound, no matter what Tina did to her. She knew yelling in pain would only please Tina and satisfy her vengeful mentality. Like hell, I will.

As expected, Tina was displeased when she did not hear any screams from Sonia, prompting her to grab Sonia's hair and force her to her line of sight. "Why aren't you screaming? Scream, you b*tch! I said, scream!"

While saying that, she slapped Sonia again.

With eyes full of hatred, Sonia persistently refused to utter a noise. That undoubtedly made Tina even more furious.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Slaps rang in the whole warehouse, which horrified anyone who heard them.

By then, Sonia's face was swollen with obvious fingerprints on them, blood seeping down the corner of her blood. However, she still glared at Tina fearlessly without making a sound.

Meanwhile, Xander watched admirably from the side. After all, he knew none of Tina's slaps were weak, but Sonia could take all of them without making a sound, which was admirable.

"Ahhh—" Tina screamed in frustration, feeling like she was about to explode. "Why? Why aren't you screaming? You want to stay quiet, do you? Fine! I'll pry your lips open and pull out your teeth! Let's see if you can still keep this up. Someone, get me a pair of pliers!"

She then smiled wickedly at Sonia. However, none of the people inside the warehouse listened to her because Xander stopped them. "That's enough. She's pregnant, yet you want to pluck her teeth? Taking one out can easily cause her to lose her baby. If you take all of them out, she'll bleed out and die," he retorted.

Hearing that, Tina stomped her feet. "I can't do this; I can't do that. How is this even exacting my revenge?"

"Your revenge?" He sneered. "Tina, I think you've misunderstood something here. Mr. Salzburg captured her for himself, not for you. Also, he's kind enough to let you vent some anger, so you'd better not overstep your line and think of killing his captive to ease your hatred. What you have against her has nothing to do with Mr. Salzburg."
