The room fell silent. Both Cody and Alfred were out of words.
Clara laughed to herself, “Did you guys enjoy the miserable story of my life? Did it make you laugh? Now that you’ve had your laugh, could you eat the food and be gone?”
“Listen!” Cody instantly stood up, “Clyde didn’t do anything for Lana White. He married you because he saw through her nasty tricks, and he decided to forget her. He was always treating you extremely kindly, wasn’t he? I bet he had never done anything to hurt you, had he?”
“What are you trying to say?” Clara glared at Cody.
“What Lana did was unforgivable. If her goal had always been Linford Bradley, she wouldn’t have left the country after you married Clyde. She would stay and find a chance to marry my Dad, but she was forced to leave this country anyway. Don’t you think it was too unreasonable? You and Clyde had already been in a scandal back then. If he didn’t marry you, you would have suffered more smearing and mockery. He did that to protect you. Why would he protect Lana White after what she had done to him? It was stupid!”
Clara blinked. She didn’t know how to react.
“Clyde must understand your situation more than you could ever imagine. He wished you and the baby could be protected in the family. And he also tried to protect you as best as he could. But… He couldn’t protect you until the very end. He died so young.” Cody sounded sad. He had an image of this Uncle he could never see.
He must be a really sweet and gentle person.
What the boy said actually made sense. But if his analysis were true, then her hatred for so many years would mean nothing.
She would be an entire clown for hating everyone and everything.
She didn’t care if this was the truth anymore. Whatever those people said, the pain brought by Lana White cut deep and real. No matter what the boy did to stall her, she would still kill them all today!
And she would make Lana White the murderer. So she would feel her pain and spend the rest of her life in jail!
“We’ve done enough talk, boy,” Clara hissed, “Now, it’s time to go!”
She grabbed a piece of bread and forced the boy to open his mouth, trying to jam it down his throat.
Cody was just a little boy. He didn’t have much strength to struggle away.
Alfred struggled to his feet. He was already pretty weak after getting the blow on his head, “STOP! Don’t touch the babies! Lana White was the one who hurt you! You need to find her! The babies are innocent!”
“Get the fuck off!” Clara kicked his stomach, and Alfred collapsed against the floor.
The sound they made was pretty loud. Candace opened her eyes groggily, rubbing her eyes as she tried to search for her brother, “Cody? What happened?”
Candace had Cristelle’s eyes. And the sight of those eyes made Clara angry.
She dashed forward and clasped her hands around the girl’s neck, “GO TO HELL! GO TO HELL! DIE! ALL OF YOU! When White starts to fight Bradley, I will take a front seat and enjoy my victory! FUCK YOU! FUCK ALL OF YOU!”
Candace kicked and cried, but she couldn’t make a sound.
“DON’T TOUCH MY SISTER!” Cody grabbed Alfred’s knife and charged forward.
He sunk the knife into Clara’s arm. Clara screamed and loosened her grip on Candace’s neck.
The blood tainted Candace’s face immediately.
Candace’s eyes widened, and she started to cry.
“You little bastard!” Clara turned toward Cody and screeched like a pig as she grabbed Cody’s neck, “You will be the first! You thought you were smart, huh?!”
Alfred tried to stand up, but Clara grabbed her iron bat again, knocking the poor man’s head cruelly until he passed out.
“Cody! Cody! NO!” Candace cried, pulling at Clara’s leg. “Cody!”
“Run… Candace…” Cody’s face was almost blue at this point as Clara’s hands were tightly around his neck.
Candace was so scared, but she still refused to go, trying to save her brother, “Cody!”
“DIE! DIE!” Clara screamed like a mad woman. Her eyes bulged as she put all her strength into her hands. She didn’t care about the fact that she was still bleeding. She only wanted to kill this little bastard so Cristelle would be broken into pieces when she knew her twins both died painfully.
“Cody! No!” Candace tried her best to stop Clara, but she could do nothing. She watched as Cody stopped struggling and kicking.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! He died!” Clara laughed hysterically as if she had completely lost her mind.
“No! NO!!! Cody!” Candace cried, her face still covered by Clara’s blood. “It’s your turn now, little whore!”
Clara’s eyes were filled with craziness as she grabbed that bat again. She raised the bat at the girl, deciding to hit the girl’s head until she was dead.
However, before the bat could fall on Candace’s body, she heard the sound of something very sharp cutting into human flesh.
The knife Cody held before was buried in her body. Cody even twisted the knife a bit.
Clara screeched like a pig. Cody grabbed Candace’s hand and tried to get her out of this place.
Clara fell against the floor, but she grabbed Cody’s ankle, “You little piece of shit. I’m gonna kill you! None of you are gonna leave today!”
“Cody!!” Candace cried in fear.
Cody kicked Clara’s hand and her face, but she still refused to let him go.
“Go! Candace!” Cody could only make his sister leave first, “Leave right now! Go and find the police!”
“No!” Candace cried, “I can’t leave you alone here!”
She crouched down and tried to pry Clara’s hand open, “Let us go. Please, let us go. We want to find our mommy.”
Cody was so anxious. This woman was a witch. She would never let them walk away if she still had any strength left.
Cody clenched his teeth and jerked his body, pulling the knife out of Clara’s body. Blood gushed out of her wound again, but Cody didn’t flinch. The boy grasped the knife with both of his hands, raising it in the air, and was about to sink it into her neck.
STOP!” A voice suddenly thundered behind his back.
