“What do you mean by that?”
Dorothy’s face turned stiff. She lowered her head and stared at Rosalie, who was lying on the ground and threatening her. Her voice was filled with anger.
“What? Don’t you understand? It means what it is.”
Rosalie’s messy hair concealed the vicious light in her eyes. Then she narrowed her eyes and smiled. She said in a low voice, “Credence, Dorothy, why don’t you try asking whether Belle’s still in the hospital?”
“I’m not the type of person to let bygones be bygones. You two joined hands to destroy my family, but you want me to stand aside and watch as you two enjoy your happy ever after? Stop dreaming!”
As she spoke, a malicious smile formed on her lips. “So, when I found out that Belle was at that hospital, I secretly made arrangements.”
“So long as you two threaten my life, my people will do something to Belle.”
“Credence, Dorothy, if I am destined to die here today, then Belle will die with me.”
She would always have a backup plan for herself.
Luckily, this time, she took advantage of Belle to give herself another chance at life.
At that, Dorothy’s face turned ashen. She quickly took Credence’s phone and called Belle’s doctor.
The phone rang and rang, but nobody picked up.
Just as Dorothy’s heart was about to sink into the abyss, someone picked up and gave Dorothy terrible news.
Belle disappeared half an hour ago. The staff in the hospital had been searching for her everywhere, but they could not find her.
At the other end of the line, the doctor’s voiced trembled in terror. “Mrs. Scott, I… I just went to the washroom for a few minutes. When I came back, your daughter had gone missing. I’m sorry, I really am.”
Dorothy’s world collapsed in the blink of an eye.
Her eyes turned red.
She rushed towards Rosalie and punched her in a rage. Her voice was filled with pain. “Rosalie, Belle’s just a girl! How could you go after her again and again? You’ve gone too far!”
“I went too far?” She scoffed.
The sharp pain coming from her face aggravated her further. She smiled evilly. “Since you guys made me suffer, I’ll return the favour in twofold! It’s fair, isn’t it?”
Credence rushed over as well and grabbed Rosalie by the neck, his eyes frosty. “Where did you hide Belle?”
For the past six years, Belle and Dorothy had stayed in Monticello with only each other for support. If anything were to happen to belle, it would be equivalent to ripping Dorothy’s heart right out of her chest.
It would be a huge blow for Dorothy, which would also be a huge blow for him.
Credence felt zero pity for the vicious woman in front of him.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was still trying to dig out Belle’s whereabouts from Rosalie’s mouth, Credence would have definitely used his knife to end the woman’s life with a single slash already. That was to prevent any other disasters from happening again in the future.
Rosalie did not back down. Instead, she straightened her body in response to Credence’s grip. She could feel his fingers around her neck, and it excited her.
After so many years, this was the first intimate contact they had with each other.
She ignored the fact that his grip was getting tighter and tighter. She whispered through bloodless lips, “Credence, I love you. I really, really love you. Why do you keep on ignoring my heart?”
She’d dreamt of being with him for more than a decade. She couldn’t possibly see any other man aside from him.
Seeing how Rosalie didn’t cry out in pain, instead letting out a somewhat enjoyable moan, Dorothy frowned. Rosalie had lost her mind.
A woman caught in her own obstinacy over love was even scarier than a liberated beast.
Rosalie had tried to harm both herself and Belle multiple times. She was truly fanatical.
“Your love is too dirty for me. I don’t like it, I hate it.”
Credence laughed coldly, his hands moving from Rosalie’s neck to her arm. With a harsh pull, he broke her arm.
After that, he did the same thing to her other arm.
Rosalie screamed in pain.
The excruciating pain instantly sobered her up, and tears of hatred filled her eyes. She stared at Credence.
His face, forever cold when he was with her, was the face of a devil. All of his gentleness, his tenderness, was for Dorothy and Belle.
However, Rosalie couldn’t give up on her obsession. She had to walk on this path until the very end.
She coughed.
She sucked in a breath and laughed frostily. “Credence, if you kill me, you’ll never be able to find your beloved daughter.”
“Also, Belle is suffering from an incurable disease. If she doesn’t have anything to eat and drink, how long do you think she’ll last? Half a day, one day, two days, or even three days?”
Upon hearing this, Dorothy immediately panicked. Her heart started to pound. “Rosalie, where is Belle? Where exactly is Belle?”
Rosalie completely ignored Dorothy. She suppressed her pain and smiled at Credence in a way that she thought was beautiful. “Credence, I know you well. If I were to tell you where Belle is, I’ll be dead in the next moment.”
“You know me well too. I can be cruel to others, but I am much crueler to myself.”
“If you want to force me to tell you where your daughter is by cruel means, then I can only tell you that I’m sorry. Don’t waste your time on me.”
“If he can’t force it out from you, then what about me?”
The washroom door was suddenly knocked down by a strong force. Jeremy appeared, his hands in his pockets, a cigar in his mouth. Wilson, Blade and Locus trailed after him.
His eyes were cold, and his gaze quickly swept over Germaine, who lay on the floor unconscious. He concealed his deep regret and heartache and placed his coat over her. He quickly walked over to Rosalie and aimed a strong kick at Rosalie’s abdomen…
