Chapter 1013 – Her Sudden Departure: A Tale of Love and Redemption (Lucian & Roxanne)

Yuliana rushed downstairs, shocked. When she saw the couple, she exclaimed panickily, “What are you two doing? It’s illegal to break into someone else’s home! I’m going to call the police.”

She raised her phone, acting as though she would make the call. Furiously, Roxanne darted toward Yuliana, snatched her phone, and smashed it on the ground. It feels so good being the baddie! I’ve been the good guy for my entire life.

It’s because of my kindness that I keep getting taken advantage of. However, I know that when dealing with shameless people, the best strategy is to be even more shameless than them! This way, they won’t know what to do! Yuliana was startled for a few seconds and was unable to stop Roxanne’s advancement.

“Come out, Winnie!”

“What are you doing, Roxanne? Get out of-”

Slap! Roxanne slapped Yuliana’s cheek as thought announcing she didn’t plan to interact with the family reasonably. So what if I’m being violent today? I’ve lost all my patience after reading about the agony my mother had to live through until her life was taken by Winnie!

Yuliana was astonished by the slap. When she returned to her senses, she tried to halt Roxanne from venturing deeper into the building, but the bodyguards stopped her. Lucian supported his wife’s actions tacitly.

Fear struck Yosef when he saw Roxanne. However, he couldn’t leave the couch in the living room due to his plastered arms. All he could do was squirm about on the furniture, which made for a humorous sight.

Meanwhile, Winnie dashed into the kitchen, terrified. Seconds later, she returned with a knife in her hand and a vicious scowl on her face. “What are you trying to do, Roxanne? I know you want revenge, but you haven’t been able to. Isn’t that right? If even the police can’t do anything to me, what can you possibly hope to achieve? I suggest you leave this place right away! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to use this knife!”

The situation suddenly turned tense. Then Lucian entered the room, with his bodyguards pushing Yuliana forward, and appeared before Winnie. Immediately, he caused the older woman to experience an emotional breakdown.

“Be sensible, Winnie. If you don’t want Yosef and Yuliana to see blood today, give up on this pointless resistance right now!” He emphasized every single word he uttered.

The murderous intent on his face certainly dissuaded anyone from doubting him. In the past, Roxanne might’ve been afraid of the sharp knife. However, driven by boundless hatred at that moment, she scoffed and stepped closer to Winnie.

Gritting her teeth, she interrogated, “I found the will my mother left behind, Winnie! I dare to visit you today because I have the evidence that proves you were the one who poisoned my mother! I just don’t understand how you can be this heartless. You’ve already replaced my mother and snatched Grant that garbage from her. Why did you still kill her?”

Winnie was shocked by that revelation. Her eyes darted around as she denied, “I didn’t! You’d better watch your mouth. I don’t believe your mother’s will contains anything that proves I’m the culprit!”

“Still denying your crime, are you? It seems you won’t admit your fault until I make you!” The animosity swirling in Roxanne’s eyes was so intense that it frightened Winnie. If she’s looking at me like that, it must mean she has evidence to incriminate me!

Winnie turned to her daughter as though she was waiting to be rescued. Yuliana was taken aback, too. It’s been more than a decade! Did Roxanne’s mother really leave evidence of Mom’s crime behind?

“You’re a cruel woman, Winnie! You charmed Grant with your sweet nothings and used Yosef to force my mother to accept you! Grant brought him to my mother because he’s a foolish man! Do you know why she helped you and that cheating b*stard to take care of Yosef? It’s because she was saving my life!” Promptly, Roxanne stood before Winnie.

The bodyguards speedily disarmed Winnie and seized her arms.

Winnie paled after she listened to Roxanne’s words. An idea popped into her mind and she defended herself, “What nonsense are you speaking of, Roxanne? When did I do such a thing? Don’t spout baseless accusations like that!”

Unbeknownst to her, she had already fallen into Roxanne’s trap. “You didn’t do it? So you’re saying you didn’t use Yosef in your scheme? I know you poisoned my mother with a small amount of mercury two or three times a month. The accumulated toxins in her body were enough to kill her in just a few years. I can’t believe you would use your young child for this wicked plan.

Were you even worried he’d ingest it by mistake?” The rage and. hatred burning in Roxanne’s eyes were so intense that it scared Winnie. The older woman couldn’t help but avoid eye contact with the younger woman and trembled.

“How dare you still defend yourself, Winnie! A few days ago, I couldn’t do anything to you. However, I’m here now because I have enough evidence to prove you used Yosef to poison my mother! The police are on the way, so just wait for your doom!” Despite Roxanne’s overwhelming contempt, she still retained her rationality.

Instead of stopping his wife, Lucian recorded the conversation. Yuliana was bewildered. I knew Mom poisoned Roxanne’s mother, but I’d never heard of the details before. Yosef was even more dumbfounded. Did I really help Mom poison someone else in the past?

An abrupt silence ensued before Winnie exploded in anger, “So what if I did it? I don’t believe you have enough evidence to confirm that I poisoned her! The water dispenser she used back then disappeared a long time ago! Yosef was still young back then, so he can’t testify to anything. Even if you examine her corpse now, the most you’ll discover is that she’s poisoned! There’s nothing you can do to me! I’m not afraid even if you call the cops!”

I’ve never been driven into a corner by anyone before, and I certainly can’t stand Roxanne’s arrogant attitude! Following the admittance of her crime, she smirked coldly and mockingly.

Roxanne was stunned. Now, I’ve learned the whole truth. My guess is that Winnie probably failed to convince Grant to let her stay in his place at the start. Hence, she devised a plan to use Yosef to compel Mom to accept her. After that, Grant lied about picking up an orphan and kept Yosef somewhere else.

Then he asked Mom to take care of Yosef, which she occasionally did. During that time, Winnie concocted her diabolical plan. She poisoned the water dispenser with a small amount of mercury. Mom has no reason to be wary of a young child, so every time Yosef served her a cup of water, she would be poisoned.

In reality, Mom noticed the poison only after drinking the water once or twice. However, in order to keep gathering the funds for my ludicrously expensive treatment fee, she hid the truth to avoid falling out with Grant. Thus, time and again, she allowed herself to be poisoned.

Roxanne felt as if her heart had been torn apart, tears gushing out of her eyes. “You’re an animal, Winnie! Since you’ve admitted to your crime, you should understand why I came here before the police did! It’s because I want to kill you with my own hands!” She pulled out six silver needles and attacked Winnie.

In a flash, she stabbed the needles into different spots on Winnie’s body. Winnie only experienced minor pain when she was stabbed.

However, when all needles were in position, she abruptly shook violently and felt as though blood would explode from her brain.

An agonizing burning sensation rapidly spread throughout her body, making her feel as though her bones had been broken. The pain was so unbearable that even her soul trembled.

It was the last move of Cerulean Needle Technique. If Roxanne were to use all eight needles of the move, Winnie could die from the pain.

However, Roxanne only used six because she merely wanted Winnie to experience the pain her mother had to endure in the past.

Even though it only lasted a little over ten seconds, Winnie was already wailing and shrieking.  Now, you know the pain Mom had to live with every day until she passed. Roxanne gazed at Winnie coldly.

“Ahh! What did you do to me, Roxanne? Yosef, Yuliana, save me! Save me! It’s so painful! My entire body… My blood… It feels like it’s burning! Ahh!”

The pain threw Winnie’s mind into chaos as she howled agonizingly. Suddenly, she began to laugh maniacally.

She bit her lip so hard that blood spurted out. Her face contorted as her eyes appeared to be on the verge of popping out of her skull.

With a sinister sneer, she glared at Roxanne. “So what if I poisoned your mother to death, Roxanne? She only has herself to blame! That b*tch refused to divorce Grant and kept taking money from him! She’s no better than me! Hahaha…”

Anger rushed into Roxanne’s mind again as she grabbed the seventh needle. However, Lucian stepped toward her and grabbed her. She’ll become a murderer if I allow her to be blinded by her rage.

Yuliana’s eyes reddened from anger as she witnessed her mother writhing in pain. “How dare you treat my mother like this, Roxanne! I’m going to kill you!”

Roxanne had calmed down by then. Winnie’s pain only needs a few minutes to recede. Since her confession to the crime has been recorded, it’s unlikely she can defend herself before the police in the future. She’ll get what she deserves. I hope it’ll be a life sentence for her so she can. rot in prison until she dies.
