Chapter 129
Amber’s fingers swiped across the screen of her phone, her eyes scanning through the many videos
that flooded her screen, each one giving her more information on ensuring a safe and healthy
pregnancy,
Since she had lost a baby once, despite the circumstance that caused it, she wanted to make sure she
did everything right. And since she couldn’t exactly do the necessary checkup while she was stuck in
this room pretending to be inatose, she decided to read as many articles, and watch as many
videos as she could.
A sudden chiming broke the silence in the room, halting Amber’s attention to the video she was about
to watch. The caller ID would pop up on her screen the name ‘Helena‘, and with a quick swipe of her
finger, she epted the call, her voice filled with concern as she wondered why Hna was calling
her back already, even though they had spoken about an hour ago.
“Helena, hey. Are you okay? Is everything alright?” she asked, wanting to make sure that Helena
hadn’t gotten into trouble because she was helping her.
On the other end of the line, Helena’s voice came in a whisper, urgency evident in her words as she
reassured Amber of her well–being. “Miss Amber, I’m doing just fine, don’t worry. I know you’re
surprised that I’m calling again, but listen Miss, I… I just witnessed something unbelievable, and it was
so unbelievable that I just had to call you.”
Immediately intrigued by Helena’s response, leaned in closer to the phone, knowing Helena was either
about to give her good news or bad news. “What happened, Helena? Did my sister do something? Is it
good news?”
A sigh escaped Helena’s lips before she started narrating what she had seen, her words tumbling out
in a rush of urgency and disbelief. “I wouldn’t call it good news, Miss. A few minutes ago, I went to
Marlene’s room to see if she wanted to have dinner, since she hadn’t given any instructions to the
kitchen staff. But when I got close to her door, I heard these strange noises, and without thinking too
much about it, I just opened the door. And mydy, I have never seen such a terrifying scene in my
entire life.”
Amber’s heart pounded in her chest, a sense of anticipation creeping over her as she listened to
Helena’s ount of whatever

Amber’s heart pounded in her chest, a sense of anticipation creeping over her as she listened to
Helena’s ount of whatever had happened. She had a feeling it wouldn’t be bad news for her, so she
was even more eager to hear it. “Get straight to the point, Helena. What did you see?”
Helena’s voice trembled with a mix of fear and shock as she recounted the scene that had unfolded
before her eyes. “Miss Amber, when I walked in, I found Marlene hovering over her mother, and
strangling her. She had this crazy look in her eyes while she was almost strangling Mrs Grey to
death. I… I swear I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the most horrifying thing I have ever
witnessed.”
A gasp tore from Amber’s lips, her eyes widening in horror. She had expected something bad, but
definitely not to this extent “Are you serious, Helena? Marlene really tried to kill our mother?”
“I’m telling you, Miss, it was crazy. Even when I walked in on it, Miss Marlene didn’t even flinch. I
had to quickly rush to pull her forcefully off her mother before she finally let go of her. If I had
been just a minutete… I can assure you that she would have killed her own mother.”
Although Amber didn’t expect things to get to this point, she couldn’t help being satisfied by how
things seemed to be going her way.
“Helena, listen to me carefully. Marlene’s actions, with everything you just described to me… it
just means that my n worked, and she has finally lost control,” Amber’s voice was firm, as she was
confident in her words.
Helena’s breath hitched at Amber’s deration, a tremor of apprehension tingling in her voice as she
responded. “Miss Amber, what do you mean? Are you sure it’s not worse?”
A wry smile tugged at the corners of Amber’s lips, a glint of amusement burning bright in her eyes.
“It isn’t, Helena. By the way, do you still have the medications I gave you to put in Marlene’s

drinks?”
Helena’s voice held a note of hesitation as she replied, “Yes, I still have them. But… I paused
using them when you asked me to.”
Holding her phone away from her ear, Amber instructed Helena. “Helena, listen to me. I need you to
use those medications on Marlene again. Onest time.”
A shudder ran through Helena, her voice quavering with uncertainty as she asked, “But.. how bad will
che not if I do thic Mice Amhor?”
Amber’s expression darkened. “Marlene is already teetering on the brink of madness. Once the drugs
take effect, she’ll lose control, and her impulsive anger will consume her.”
Worry etched into Helena’s features as she voiced her concerns. “What if she ends up hurting herself
Amber? The Marlene I saw… she seemed so out of it, almost suicidal.”
Amber’s chuckled, a glint of confidence shing in her eyes. “Don’t worry, Helena. Marlene has one
obsession greater than the urge to harm herself, and that is the desire to see me dead first. Trust
me, she won’t hurt herself as long as I’m alive.”
Helena’s breath caught in her throat, still feeling a sense of unease knotting in her stomach. “But…
won’t you be in danger if Marlene is pushed to her limits? You could be putting yourself in
serious danger with her erratic behavior, Miss Amber.”
A knowing smile yed on Amber’s lips, as she assured Helena of her safety. “Helena, don’t worry
about me. Just do as I ask. And when you give Marlene the drink, leave the house and head straight to
the airport. Your family will be waiting to leave with you, and everything else will fall into
ce.”
