Chapter 897 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Nikki rushed over to stop Edith. âMadam Edith, you havenât recovered yet! Please stop!â
âDamn it, brat!â Infuriated, Edith slapped Nikki across the face. âIf it werenât for the incomplete scripture you gave me, I wouldnât have gone to extremes in training and gotten injured!â
âI-it wasnât me⦠Nikki held her cheek and shook her head frantically.âStop lyingââ Edith shouted.
âHow did that bastard get his hands on the Jade Maiden Scripture? Iâm sure you were the one who stole it and gave it to him. You ungrateful bitch!â
âI didnât!â Nikki denied anxiously.
âI see what youâre up to, Nikki Horst. You gave Madam Edith the incomplete scripture and gave that bastard the real one. Youâre such a bitch!â
âI thought you were a loyal disciple. It turns out youâre just a backstabber who betrayed us!â
âEnough with the acting. You make me sick!â
Instantly, the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples began cursing at Nikki.
They were sure Nikki must have conspired with Dustin and took the Jade Maiden Scripture for herself. It was a big crime.
âThis is a misunderstanding!â Nikki tried to explain herself, but they refused to believe her.
Just like that, she became the prime suspect.
âMr. Adler, hurry up and break that womanâs legs.â
Dustin pointed at Brittany, looking impassive.
âYes, sir!â Cornelius jumped forward and swung his leg toward Brittanyâs knee.
There was a crisp crack as Brittanyâs knee bent backward, her bone fracturing from the impact.
âAargh!â Brittany wailed as she fell to the ground in pain, sweating uncontrollably.
âStop! If you hurt her again, Iâll make you pay with your life!â Edith snarled.
âAn eye for an eye. She broke my menâs legs, so I should return the favor and break hers,â Dustin replied nonchalantly..
âMr. Adler, her other leg as well.â
âSure!â Cornelius sneered and raised his foot.
âI told you to stop!â Edith suddenly drew her sword and pressed the blade against Nikkiâs neck.
âIâll kill her if you do anything!â
Startled, Cornelius immediately stopped his attack.
âMadam Edith?â Nikki was stunned, looking in disbelief.
âMadam Parker, youâd kill your most faithful disciple?â Dustin narrowed his eyes.
âIâve already kicked her out! Sheâs nothing to me now!â Edith retorted, lifting her sword.
The blade broke Nikkiâs skin, causing blood to trickle out of the wound
âWhy? What did I do wrong. Madam Edith? Why would you do this to me?â Nikki sobbed
She had remained loyal to Jade Maiden Sisterhood this entire time. She never imagined she would end up threatened by Edith
âShut up Edith shouted
âWho the hell do you think you are? Youâre nothing compared to Brittany!â
âSo, youâre going to kill me because of Brittany?â Nikkiâs voice trembled in shock
âSacrificing you is nothing if it means saving Brittany. Youâre just a pawn to me anywayâ Edith snapped.
Nikkiâs legs went weak. She collapsed onto the ground with a pale face, utterly disappointed.
She never imagined that Edith would be ruthless enough to sacrifice her Did her loyalty mean nothing to Edith?
