If no one else would do it, Lydia would definitely be willing.
As long as I provoked her anger, my chance would come.
Lydia’s calm facade cracked.
Jealousy almost tore through her mask.
Seeing no one around, just a mute girl in the corner, Lydia ruthlessly grabbed my throat.

“What does your short–lived victory really mean? With Nolan’s unwavering protection, I’ll
soon regain my strength and return home. As long as I am here, I will one day bring you
down from your high horse.”
If no one else dares to act against me, Lydia will certainly be eager to do so.
I just need to provoke her anger, and my chance will come.
Lydia’s calm demeanor cracked in an instant.
Jealousy almost shattered her facade.
Seeing no one else around, except for a mute person in the corner, Lydia had no reservations and suddenly grabbed my throat.
“You vile woman! Brother Nolan’s heart was originally for me. You took him and his child away from me. Everything should have been mine!”
“But then Brother Nolan devoted himself entirely to you, ignoring me. Without his affection, my husband grew cold towards me; it was all your fault!”

“Yes, I framed you. I accused you of hiring someone to humiliat reclaim what was rightfully mine! The Nolan Family chose to believe me over you. Don’t blame me when you’re on the Path to the Underworld!”

Sat,
The mute, who was supposed to be watching over me, let out a cry and tried to intervene, but Lydia kicked him aside, knocking him unconscious.
“You’re courting death, you foolish mute! I’ll deal with you later!”
Finally, I could breathe again.
Lydia laughed coldly and said, “I almost fell for your ruse. I want you dead, but I can’t kill you myself. I need your death to ultimately make the Nolan Family Men side with me!”
Lydia dragged my weakened body out of the basement.
She took me to the woods, placed a retractable weapon in my hand, and positioned it against her neck, pretending I was holding her hostage.
When the Nolan Family Men arrived with reinforcements and saw the scene, they all looked disappointed.
Declan, with a pained voice, said, “Mother, why are you so stubborn? I thought you’d
changed!”
Jasper was equally disheartened: “Mom, don’t make me hate you. You even knocked out
the mute. You weren’t like this before.”
So, they had brought the unconscious mute to publicly accuse me?
At this, Lydia cried out, “Brother Nolan, save me! Her weapon is about to slice my throat!”
Her pitiful cries resonated through the forest, stirring sympathy among all who heard
them.
Nolan ordered someone to fetch a gun. In his youth, his marksmanship was exceptional.
He loaded the gun, aimed steadily, and shot my wrist, causing my hand.

Jasper quickly stepped forward, kicking the weapon away so I couldn’t retrieve it.

Lydia, as if rescued, ran into Nolan’s arms and glanced back at me triumphantly.
Nolan looked at me, expressionless: “Cora, why won’t you repent?”
Blood slowly trickled from my pierced wrist.
Seeing this, Nolan frowned and sighed: “Come here, let me bandage you. Once you recover, I’ll have someone send you away. When you finally understand, I’ll bring you
back…*
I pulled the arrow from my wrist with my other hand, shocking everyone present.
“Mom, are you crazy? You’ll cripple your hand!”
I sneered, remained silent, and drove the arrow into my own throat.
