Chapter 500

After saying all that, Violet hung up immediately. At last, she'd managed to pick up on some of the conversation.

"Violet, are you threatening my mom?" Gwyneth's voice trembled in disbelief. She couldn't wrap her head around it-Violet, who had always doted on her, was now using her life to threaten her mother.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing." Violet's voice was ice-cold. "Victoria stole everything from me-my life, my future-and she's the one who's about to send me to prison. Now, we'll see just how much you matter to your mother. If she doesn't love you, you can prepare to go down with me. If I don't get to live, you don't get to die in peace, either. I want Victoria to spend the rest of her miserable life drowning in regret."
