Chapter 12


    Chapter 12


    The door of the meeting room opened, and a woman in a white suit walked in slowly. She had long


    ck hair falling behind her back and light makeup. Her eyes were long, same as her eyebrows, and


    her lips red. “Isn’t your corporation getting arrogant? How could you make your business partner wait


    for thirty minutes—” Dew turned her head around while mocking the woman, but her voice died away


    halfway through her sentence. The woman’s eyebrows, eyes, and other features were the exact same


    as her sister’s! But didn’t Adina die four years ago? She might not have burned alive, but she had


    jumped into the river and drowned! Why then… Why was she standing in front of her? “A-Are you a


    human, or a ghost?” Dew’s voice quivered, and her face drained of blood. Even though she did not


    personally kill Adina, she had engineered her downfall and had nightmares over the past four years of


    her sister turning into a ghost anding back to take revenge! “Would you prefer if I were a human or


    a ghost?” Adina walked over and sat down on the couch. She smiled coldly with a chilling re in her


    eyes. Her gaze was razor sharp when she looked at Dew. “Y-You’re not dead!” Dew shivered. “You’re


    alive! Adina Daugherty, you’re actually alive?!” She did not die from a major blood loss during childbirth!


    She did not die in the fire! And she did not even die after falling into a river! Why did this witch cling to


    life so desperately?! “Well, aren’t you sorely disappointed?” Adina said airily. “We’re sisters. Shouldn’t


    you be happy that I’m alive?” She raised her chin, and her gaze was as sharp and aggressive as ever.


    For some reason, Dew suddenly thought of Harold Winters. He often did that, too, and his expression


    was identical to Adina’s! If Harold ran into her… the consequences would be dire! Dew’s heart raced,


    but she clenched her fists tightly and quelled her fear. She blinked, and tears spilled down her face.


    “This is great, Adina! You’re not dead… Do you have any idea how much I regretted my actions over


    the past four years? I shouldn’t have left you alone in the warehouse that night. Dad misses you a lot,


    Adina. Why don’t youe back and visit him? If he were to learn that you’re alive, he’d be really


    happy…” Adina sneered. Before she turned eighteen, she really thought that father loved her. But after


    her illicit photos came out on the second day after hering-of-age ceremony, he pped her. A


    father who truly loved his daughter would not lock her in a warehouse after she suffered a major mentalContent bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    trauma nor would he leave her alone for eight months. All the love he showered upon Adina since her


    birth had to have been because of her shares. “Dew Daugherty, you’ve been living the past four years


    in peace. It’s about time that peacees to an end.” Adina’s voice wasced with burning hatred. “I’ll


    take back all that belongs to me.” Her gaze terrified Dew, and she took an unwitting step back. The first


    thing she thought about were the two twins in the Winters family! ‘Does she want to steal them from


    me?’ “And I’ll make you pay for my children’s deaths!” Adina dered slowly. Each word cut into Dew’s


    heart like knives, but then she froze. ‘That’s right! The two children are already dead to her! She thinks


    they died right after being born! ‘So, Adina can’t possibly havee back to steal the twins from me!’


    Dew had never felt so fortunate before. Thank goodness Duke Winters had never publicly announced


    the children’s existences before, or Adina would definitely figure out the truth. If that time came, Dew


    would not be able to hide anything. However, even if Adina didn’t know about the children, she could


    not be allowed to live! The sinister look in Dew’s eyes faded away, and she said, “Adina, your children


    died the moment they were born. I’m their aunt, so how could I possibly have killed them? I buried them


    four years ago and even set up tombstones for them. I also sweep their graves every year during their


    death anniversary. How could you say that I killed them?” Adina stood up swiftly and grabbed Dew’s


    cor. “Where did you bury them?” “In the cemetery in the suburbs east of the city… It’s hard to


    describe the exact location, so why don’t I take you there tomorrow?” Dew said tentatively while hiding


    the calctive spark in her eyes. Adina had dreamt of her two bluish-ck children over the past four


    years and longed to see them again. Even if she could only go to their graves to visit them, it would still


    soothe her pain a little. Despite that, she would not forgive the people who caused their premature


    deaths…
