Chapter 214

The lights in the hospital room were dim. The only illumination came from the soft glow of the medical equipment.

After closing the door behind her, Arabella silently moved towards Beatrice’s bed, studying her aged face. A cruel smile spread across her lips as she touched Beatrice’s oxygen tube.

“Granny, you can’t blame me for this. After all, you’re the one who pushed me to this point. I never wanted to hurt you, but you gave me no choice”

With a smile still on her face, she reached out to remove Beatrice’s oxygen tube.

The lights in the room suddenly brightened.

“How did you find out? Arabella’s face turned pale.

“You thought using a burner phone would protect you?” Vivienne laughed. Her smile was as radiant as it had ever been. As if she were mocking Arabella’s
