“Will you really do whatever I ask you to do?” Dew smirked, and her eyes shone with a cunning, sinister
light in the dark.
Adina nodded coolly. “With the condition of you letting George
go.”
“Sure. As long as you do as I say, I will let George go, and I promise you that he will not be hurt.” Dew
ruffled George’s hair and chuckled. “I’m not so evil as to want you to die. I just want you to maim your
face. Then, I’ll return George to you.”
She raked her eyes over Adina’s face.
Her gaze was like a knife that desperately wanted to tear off Adina’s skin from her face.
Adina had always been the most beautiful girl in class and in school. Wherever she went, Dew’s pride
would always be trampled by Adina
Whenever her friends and the people around her spoke about the siblings, they would always say that
Adina was prettier and more dignified
Even if Adina did not show up in the same place as Dew, someone around her would still say that while
Dew was beautiful, Adina was more beautiful.
How great would it be if Adina did not have that beautiful face?
Dew grabbed a fruit knife from her bag and tossed it to Adina.” Hurry up. I’m not that patient of a
person.”
There was no light in the factory, but there was an ocean outside. Orange streetlights were set up at
the dock by the ocean. The lights from the streetlights shone in through the windows, and the fruit knife
glittered with a cold light.
Adina picked up the fruit knife.
She looked up and said calmly, “You promise to let George go once I ruin my face?”
“Stop stalling for time!” Dew howled impatiently.
Adina brought the knife up and drew it slowly closer to her right cheek.
“No…” George said hoarsely, “Adina, I’ve done horrible things to you before. You shouldn’t ruin your
face to save me…”
Adina just smiled and said, “George, be a good boy and close your eyes.”
He was just a boy and should not see such a gory scene. Otherwise, he would be traumatized for life.
It was not as if her face was not something she could not part with, anyway.
Since she had a beautiful face, she had plenty of suitors, and she wasted a lot of time dealing with
them every single day.
“Adina, even if you ruin your face to save me, I won’t thank you!”
George spoke with a choked-up voice, “I have always hated you! Don’t go thinking that I will let you be
with my father just because you saved me! Throw that fruit knife away! Now!”
He shouted so loudly that his voice was almost ruined.
Adina just smiled. “George, just keep hating me. It’s fine. Just listen to me for once and close your
eyes, okay?”
Despite George doing his best to keep his eyes opened wide to see, his tears still spilled down his
cheeks, making his vision blurry.
He had never cried. This was the first time he remembered himself crying.
“Does your heart ache for her, George?” Dew grinned. “They were right when they said that children
shared a special connection with their parents. It makes sense now why I could never make you and
Harold love me no matter what I did. It’s all because I didn’t give birth to you two. No matter what I did,
both of you never treated me as your real mother. It’s a pity that I only just understood this.”
George’s lips quivered as he asked, “Adina is Harold and my real mother, right?”
“Smart boy. But no matter how smart you are, I still fooled you for four years!” Dew stopped laughing
and glared at Adina. “If you don’t move that knife, I’m going to ruin Harold’s face!”
“Will you really do whatever I ask you to do?” Dew smirked, and her eyes shone with a cunning, sinister
light in the dark.
Adina nodded coolly. “With the condition of you letting George
go.”
“Sure. As long as you do as I say, I will let George go, and I promise you that he will not be hurt.” Dew
