Chapter 12
 
Ellen! 

 

 

“Tina Lynd!” She pointed at Tina’s nose with equal disbelief. “Good! It really is you!”

 

She grabbed Tina by her hair even before she could run, while exclaiming excitedly, “Talk about falling right into our lap! Well done, you little wretch—hitting Mr. Wallace in the head? We’ve all suffered because of you…”

 

“That’s your own damn fault!” Tina yelled furiously. “You got your just desserts!”

 

There was a loud smack as Ellen slapped her across the face then. “You ingrate! We raised you for ten years!”

 

Tina’s face stung, and she didn’t even need to look to know that Ellen must have torn open old wounds.

 

Nonetheless, she struggled and bit down viciously on Ellen’s hand, who screamed even as she released her. However, she did not make it far when Jonah and Pearl showed up, both of whom were immediately furious and excited to see Tina.

 

“Good! That little wretch actually showed her face!”

 

“Get her! Don’t let her run away!”

 

Tina didn’t pick the right route in her desperation, and was cornered even as she despaired.

 

Ellen chuckled icily. “Let’s see where you’re going to run this time!”

 

Beside her, Jonah’s words were dripping with venom. “We’ll break her legs before we take her to Mr. Wallace to make up for it this time. Let’s see if she can still run away after that!”

 

Pearl was absolutely thrilled. “Let me do it! I’ll cripple her!”

 

As the family was utterly revolting, and Tina spat in anger, “You people will get what you deserve!”

 

“What we deserve? We deserve a million dollars for raising you over ten years! You’re the one who would end up suffering for your actions!” The three of them laughed out loud with utter catharsis.

 

Tina gritted her teeth. She couldn’t afford to die, let alone fall into Mr. Wallace’s grasp.

 

She would live and get her payback against the Lynds, not to mention that Sylvia was waiting for her!

 

Clenching her fists, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “You simply want a million dollars, right? Let me go, and I’ll get you the money!”
