Chapter 98
Perhaps it was my imagination, but Carl’s eyes caught mine in the rearview mirror and I quickly looked away.”
The car’s speed slowed down as if he was waiting for me to catch up.
Back home, Carl skillfully cooked sardines as usual.
The familiar aroma instantly brought back old memories.
Back when we had just started making money, I was always craving meat. But pork was too expensive, so we could only afford the cheapest sardines to satisfy my cravings.
But I was a picky eater and often ended up vomiting after eating.”
Seeing this, Carl felt heartbroken. Then he vowed to himself that he would cook a delicious fish meal, so I wouldn’t have to suffer through a bad meal again.”
Through daily practice, he finally mastered making baked sardines that rivaled those of a five–star chef.
But I only got to eat it twice. Eventually, with his career getting busier, he no longer had time to cook for me. And now, it was Lindsay’s turn to enjoy it.”
I watched quietly from the side and before I knew it, I was tearing up.”
When I raised my head and looked at Clark, he was also crying and his tears slipped into the pot. “Alison, if we have the chance in the next life, I’ll cook it for you again.“”
After saying that, he pulled out a packet of powder from his pocket and sprinkled it in without hesitation.”
“But for now… I have something more important to do.””
1 was puzzled by what he meant, but he stirred the powder evenly and served it on the table.”
“Eat,” he said with a meaningful smile.
However, Lindsay didn’t care about any of that. She had been hungry all day at the police station, so she picked up her bowl and ate heartily.”
Carl did not touch the fish with his fork. He ate his mashed potatoes like it was tasteless.
en, as if testing her, he said, “You know … Isabel betrayed me, disrupted the police investigation and came to bother us e and time again. If we could find a way to deal with her… that’d be good, right?“”
Lindsay put down her fork and smiled awkwardly. “Why talk about that while we’re eating?“”
Cark gently pinched her nose. “Don’t you want me to spend quality time with you, without her disturbing us anymore?” Upon hearing this, Lindsay’s eyes lit up instantly. “Yes, yes, she’s so annoying!“”
He poured her a bowl of sardines and watched quietly as she ate them all.”
“Tell me, if we had the chance, how should we deal with her?”
For some reason, after eating, Lindsay seemed to have gained courage, completely changing her usual timid demeanor.!
“Of course, we’d make her suffer. Who told her she could leave so heartlessly?”
Carl gripped his fork and fixed her with a hard stare. “How should we torture her to take revenge?”
**
With a fierce look on her face, she said, “Of course, we should tie her up and whip her mercilessly with a whip until she begs for mercy!”
“Then use a knife to slice her flesh, one cut at a time, into her ribs, until she is unable to beg for mercy
“Finally, when she’s on the brink of death, bind her to a spinning wheel and savor her fear, her screams!
I covered my ears in agony, as if that could make me forget the pain I had endured.
“Just thinking about it makes me happy! That slut deserves such torment!”
Carl could no longer contain his anger and strangled her neck with both hands.
“Say that again, you bitch!”
“Is that how you hired someone to torture Isabel?”
In an instant, the dining table was violently overturned.”
ог
Lindsay stared in disbelief at the man before her. She just could not understand how the man who had been so gentle a moment ago could change so drastically.
How could his expression change so suddenly?”
