True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan ) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 

Nobody had ever seen Carola like this before, not even Malcolm or Luke. 

Carola had always been the epitome of a sophisticated and elegant lady. Even when someone rubbed her the wrong way, she would maintain her polse and never stoop to arguing. 

But now, her hair was disheveled, her clothes and necklace askew, and she resembled an enraged lioness, intimidating enough to keep anyone at arm’s length. 

Lucy seemed equally frightened by this new side of her mother. Forgetting all about her imaginary game of magic, she burst into tears and shouted, “Mama, Mama!” 

It was her daughter’s cries that seemed to snap Carola back to her senses. She released. Darcey, whom she had been grasping fiercely, and staggered over to Lucy, enveloping her in a tight embrace and soothing her with a trembling voice. 

“Lucy, don’t cry, my sweet girl…” 

“Mama, no fighting, please don’t fight…” 

“I won’t, baby. It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you…” 

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably while she clutched the sobbing Lucy. 

Malcolm and Luke watched Carola and Lucy in tears, feeling a lump in their throats and a tightness in their chests. When their gaze shifted back to Darcey, their eyes were filled with a cold and penetrating anger. 

Darcey, who had been struck until she was dizzy and swollen on one side of her face, was infuriated to see Carola and Lucy crying together. She hadn’t even shed a tear yet! 

What right did they have to cry?! 

Just then, Althea and Darcey’s husband arrived in a rush. The scene they walked into left them furious. 

“What is going on here with the Sanchez family?! I’m calling the police!” Her husband Galloway Robinson snapped. 

Malcolm had restrained himself from striking a woman, but at the sight of Galloway, he approached with a cold sneer. “Go ahead. At worst, I’ll pay you some money. But you have used black magic against my daughter. Our family will use every connection we have to make you pay!” 

Hearing Malcolm so confidently accuse them of black magic, Galloway felt a chill in his heart. He glanced at Darcey and saw her crying out with many cuts in her face, “They burned the life contract, my poor Hans!” Darcey cried out. 

Realizing that the Sanchez family had not only uncovered the truth but had also destroyed the

life contract, Galloway felt as if his world had crumbled. Althea widened her eyes in shock. After scolding Darcey for her carelessness, she began to wail, “How could you burn my Hans lite contract?! That was his life! You are so cruelf” 

The Sanchez family was stunned by the audacity of the Robinson family to play the victim. 

Malcolm trembled his cheeks with rage. Just as he was about to speak, Adelina emerged from nowhere, spitting at Althea. 

“Pah! You tried to harm my granddaughter and now you have the nerve to call us cruel? You’re the heartless one!” 

Althea stood her ground, with no trace of remorse on her face, “Your granddaughter’s a simpleton. What good is she alive? It’s better to give her years to my dear grandson. Hans was so bright. How could he just not liv 

long…” 

Darcey joined in, pleading with Lucy. “Lucy, I had no choice. Hans is sick and needs to live. Remember how he used to play with you? Help him, please. Just give your fifty years to Hans. 

that’s all…” 

Carola was livid. How dare they imply Lucy’s life was worthless because of her simplicity? And to ask for fifty years of her life for a childhood friendship? How could they be so shameless? 

Carola wanted to slap them fifty times over but couldn’t. She was too busy covering Lucy’s ears the moment Darcey spoke. 

While Carola was preoccupied. Luke stepped in, disregarding any notion that a man shouldn’t lay hands on a woman, and pulled Darcey away from his sister. 

Her face was so swollen he feared Lucy might have nightmares just looking at her. Fortunately, the life contract had been burned, and the Sanchez family had no desire to witness any more of the Robinson family’s vile behavior. Their bodyguards promptly escorted them out. As they left, Winnie lingered behind and turned to the Robinson family with a faint smile. Then she said, “Black magic comes back to haunt its caster. As the masterminds, you can’t escape the repercussions. For the next three years, the Robinson family will suffer from ill fortune.”
