Chapter 119:

Kieran returned home to find Joanna awaiting him in a dimly lit, cramped room adorned with various torture instruments. The lack of windows and the flickering light created an oppressive atmosphere. Joanna sat on the cold marble floor, gripping her garment tightly. As Kieran approached, her body shook with fear, and his eyes gleamed with deadly intent.

“Did you really think this was the way to execute the task our family assigned to you?” Kieran spoke in a measured, gentle manner, but to Joanna, his words sounded like a death sentence. He was the most feared member of the Foster family.

“What? Are you lost for words?” Kieran inquired as Joanna remained silent.

Observing her quiet demeanor, he sighed. “Since you have no explanation, I’ll forgo politeness. You were clearly in the wrong.” He retrieved a torture device from the cabinet, and Joanna’s eyes filled with desperation. That night, her cries of despair echoed throughout the dark, cramped room of the Foster household.

On the second day, Joanna returned to her room covered in wounds. She noticed an unread message on her phone. After reading it, her despair deepened.

“Jayden, you want to drive me to death, don’t you?” she whispered, her eyes wild with madness.

That afternoon, despite the Foster family’s restrictions, Joanna secretly took a car and fled the city. She drove straight to a mountain and deliberately plunged her car off a cliff.
