Adelaide's smile was chilling as she spoke, "Of course, killing is illegal, and I wouldn't harm anyone. I just want her to experience the same things I did. Whatâs wrong? You can mess with me, but youâre too scared to touch Morwenna?"
No one answered Adelaide.
Because they truly were.
Adelaide was a woman recently released from prison, with no money, no power, and abandoned by her family. She was easy to targetâwhat could she possibly do in retaliation? But Morwenna was different. Morwenna was Stuart's wife.
Rumors or not, whether Morwenna had married Stuart with Norbertâs backing, they didnât dare take any chances with her.
Seeing their hesitation, especially from the tattooed guy whoâd humiliated her before, made Adelaide even angrier.
They dared to humiliate her but wouldnât lay a finger on Morwenna!
Almost losing her grip on reality, Adelaide marched over and yanked open Morwenna's collar. She pointed sharply at the ugliest thug in the group, her voice cutting through the silence, "You, get Morwenna into that room and do what you must!"
The one-eyed thug, startled, pointed at himself, "Me?"
"Yes, you."
Adelaide didnât care about anything anymore; she just wanted the most repulsive person to destroy Morwenna.
The one-eyed thug shook his head nervously, "No... I don't want to do that."
Or perhaps it was more accurate to say he didnât dare.
Adelaide's expression darkened, "If you don't ruin her today, I'll tell everyone it was you guys who kidnapped Morwenna and me. After all, what could a helpless woman like me do?"
The tattooed guy frowned and slapped Adelaide hard, "You crazy woman! Are you asking for death?"
Adelaide wiped the blood from her mouth and suddenly ran to the window, her voice a desperate scream, "If you donât do what I say, Iâll jump right now. I was forced, and if I jump looking like this, you wonât just be blamed for what happens to Morwenna, youâll be responsible for driving me to my death too."

Adelaide climbed onto the windowsill, her legs dangling outside, threatening to fall at any moment.
She swung her legs, a mad joy on her face as she laughed, "Do you really want to bet on whether Iâll jump? If I do, youâll all pay the price!"
A forced suicide after being assaulted, along with Morwennaâs kidnappingâif this got out, none of them would escape the fallout.
The tattooed guy had a reputation for being tough, but heâd never dealt with someone as unhinged as Adelaide.
One of the smaller thugs pointed to the one-eyed guy, "You go deal with Morwenna."
The one-eyed thug shook his head fiercely.
The tattooed guy suddenly grabbed him by the hair and slammed him against the wall, ordering, "I said go deal with Morwenna! Didnât you understand?"
Blood streaming from his head, the one-eyed thug was terrified.
Heâd always been just a body to fill space, someone who cowered at the back with a stick during gang fights, too scared to even wield a knife.
But now, he had no choice!
He might not dare touch these two women, but theyâd have no problem dealing with him!
Wiping the blood from his head, the one-eyed thug stammered, "Okay, okay, Iâll do it. Iâll do whatever you say."
He rushed over to Morwenna.
He didnât dare lay a hand on her, nor did he dare drag her.
Hesitating, he gently guided the disheveled Morwenna into the room.
