Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 267 Cleaning Up The Scene

Eric had committed those gruesome acts in the mansion on numerous occasions, never hesitating to torture someone to death right in front of her.

At first, she was terrified, even to the point of crying out in fear. But as time went on, Eileen gradually became desensitized to it.

He had always been a person who would do whatever it took to get what he wanted.

His hands were stained with blood. In fact, he could have become the ruler of Hulbury by killing others.

So much time had passed that she couldn’t remember many things.

However, that person left a lasting impression on her.

The person with the masked face was none other than Lionel, one of Eric’s subordinates.

Didn’t Eric find him three years later? Why is this happening now? Could it be that everything that was supposed to happen has already occurred ahead of time? Eileen felt a sense of worry and panic in her heart, yet she didn’t know where those emotions were coming from. Is it true that no matter what, events from a past life cannot be changed? Even if one alters their original destiny, in the end, they cannot escape it. The damned will still meet their end! What about me? Will I also repeat the fate of my previous life? Will I not pass away peacefully in old age?

Brett kept backing away, clutching a blade in his hand. His whole body was trembling with fear. “Don’t come any closer… Don’t come any closer… I haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve got the wrong person.”

Lionel looked at the portrait in his hand. “You’re exactly who I’ve been looking for today.”

Natalie was on the verge of tears. “Let’s get out of here! I’m really scared.”

Eileen seemed lost in thought when suddenly, an urgent voice rang out beside her. “Eileen! Watch out!”

She snapped back to reality, her body suddenly jolted by a push.

Benjamin steadied Eileen. When they looked over, they saw that Natalie was already being held at knife- point by the vagrant with a blade against her neck.

Brett warned, “Stay back! I-I’m warning you. If you dare to come any closer, l’il kill her.”

Eileen yelled, “Natalie!”

With tears welling up, Natalie held back the tears that were about to fall. “S-Eileen… I’m okay. I’m not scared at all.”

“Shut up!” Brett tightened his grip on Natalie’s neck, glaring at Lionel. “Eight years! Even now, you still won’t leave me alone. It’s all because of you that I lost everything. My daughter died because of you. Even if I can’t escape today, I will take her with me.”
