When she saw Rachel talking with Luther, she had actually wanted her dead.
She had deliberately lured Rachel here.
For one thing she could test Rachel, and for another, she could get rid of her at any time in this place.
As long as it was possible that Rachel might ruin her life, she would never hesitate to kill her.
Over the years, she had never killed anyone.
But in fact, there was an addiction to killing.
At the beginning, when she killed Stephanie, she was still trembling in fear at the time, and felt so overwhelmingly nervous afterwards.
She even had nightmares. She was afraid that their souls might still be alive even after she had killed them and would come looking for her for revenge.
But when she pushed Rodney down the stairs with her own hands, and watched Rodney die, she had become much calmer than the first time.
For Rodney, there was still a trace of reluctance and attachment in her heart. After all, Rodney gave her the love of a family that she had never experienced.
However, she would not hesitate to eradicate anyone who got in her way.
No one could be an exception.
After four years.
Now she's killed Rachel.
This time, she had absolutely no fear or dread.
What she had was peace!
Towards Rachel, she was even less likely to feel any attachment.
This time, all she had was pleasure and excitement!
The relief of killing and finally being able to bury the truth once and for all could not be described in words.
It made her feel soothed and refreshed.
She stood by the trestle bridge, enjoying the blowing cold breeze of the night, and did not feel cold but extraordinarily happy.
She looked at the reservoir. A huge splash first came up from the water, and then Rachel sank right towards the bottom. Afterwards, there was a big whirlpool formed on the water stirring up gusts of foam, before the water returned to complete calm.
She calmly admired the whole process, certain that Rachel would never survive.
