Kai had guessed his identity, and it would only cause trouble to him if he didn't finish Kai.
Adrian quickly gave Thalia a signal with his eyes, and she understood immediately. She was a little afraid... she turned and walked to the door.
She closed the door with mixed emotions.
After all, they had been married for over ten years. It would be false to say that there was no affection between them.
But time was cruel; even love could be gradually worn away.
From the moment she decided to feed him toxic medicine, there was no turning back.
In her later years, all she wanted was for her son Davon to have a worry-free life filled with prosperity and wealth.
Kai, you shouldn't blame me for being heartless. Blame yourself for never treating me sincerely.
Back then I willingly became your mistress instead of choosing other young talents. I became a joke in Onistead's high society but never regretted it.
Kai sat paralyzed on his bed unable to see or speak... he lived his life as an elegant playboy but never expected he would end so miserably one day.
The will was placed in front of him again; this time Kai was forced to sign it.
If he didn't sign it, Karina might die tragically.
He wanted desperately to tell Thalia that these twins were actually her grandchildren but Adrian sealed off his acupoints... he couldn't speak within two hours or else he'd become mute forever.
After getting the will signed, Thalia cried tears of joy,"Hahaha... finally The Todd family is ours."
"Kai, all these years you've been guarding against me but didn't expect that ultimately everything fell into my hands."
Finally, she fixed her gaze on the twins with a cruel smile...
Her eyes were crazier than ever as she plunged the fruit knife directly into Karina's chest.
The sound of the blade penetrating flesh echoed as she pulled it out, splattering warm blood onto Thalia's face and dress. The sound of the child's crying abruptly ceased. The whole world seemed to grow quiet.
She watched as a pained expression formed on the face so much like Erica's, relishing in the satisfaction.
"Sister!" Lewis' cries filled the room. Held back by Adrian, the little one could only watch helplessly as his own sister died. Like a mad little beast, he turned and bit Adrian's hand, crying and kicking with all his might. "You're a bad person! Give me back my sister!"
"Sister..." The young girl's face still carried glistening tears as she slowly fell into Thalia's arms, blood flowing profusely.
Kai smelled the metallic blood in the air, the child's heart-wrenching cries ringing in his ears, the same anguish tearing him apart... consumed by rage.
Ignoring the silver needle in his throat, Kai roared out words that drove Thalia into madness on the spot. "You wicked woman, Karina is Davon's child! You've killed your own granddaughter!"
Before the last words had even landed, it felt as if his neck had been seared by fire, and he couldn't help but spew out a mouthful of crimson blood.
When he tried to speak again, it was only fragmented sounds, unable to form a complete sentence. "Ah... ugh, you... cough..."
