Chapter 290


    There was a speedboat by the side of the river.


    As Natasha carried her in that direction, Thea continued struggling, unwilling to cooperate. “What


    are you trying to do, Natasha? Can''t you just say something? At least let me know what you''re


    nning to do if I''m going to die today!”


    s, Natasha kept quiet and pulled Thea forward with force.


    At that moment, Thea really looked like amb that was being pulled along by its shepherd. She


    scanned the surroundings; it waspletely dark. She then looked at Natasha, whose expression


    remained indifferent with a hint of anger.


    Finally, they arrived before the


    speedboat. When Natasha was about to drag her into it, fear crept into Thea''s heart.


    Am I really going to die here today ?


    At that thought, she turned to look at Natasha and said, “Natasha, I-I have something to tell you!”


    Natasha looked at her.


    Blinking, Thea stammered, “I-I—”


    However, she suddenly lost her bnce and fell backward before she could finish her sentence.


    Thud!


    Thea fell hard onto the floor of the speedboat.


    Her head crashed to the ground, and her vision went dark, leaving her feeling dizzy.


    Natasha had given Thea a violent push with no intentions of going easy on her.


    Watching her fall on the speedboat, Natasha got on it, started the engine, and sailed to the middle


    of the river without a second of dy.


    By the time Thea regained her consciousness, Natasha had already brought the speedboat to the


    middle of the river.


    When Natasha turned around and saw that Thea was still lying on the floor, she went over and lifted


    her up.


    “W-What are you trying to do?” Although Thea was still feeling a little dizzy, her eyes that were fixed


    on Natasha were filled with hatred and fear.


    “Do you have anything else to say?” asked Natasha.


    Those words made Thea tremble with fear. “You want to kill me?”


    “Looks like the answer is a no.” With that, Natasha threw her on the edge of the speedboat.


    Thea was scared senseless, and she yelled, “Natasha, do you think you''ll be able to walk away by


    killing me? Guess what? The police will definitely find you. You''ll never get away with it. In the


    future, your children will have a murderer as their mother. They''ll be looked down on for the rest of


    their lives!”


    Natasha froze at those words, and she turned to look at Thea.


    Thea''s heart pounded as she stared back at Natasha. Although her legs were already like jelly, she


    still put on a strong front.


    Natasha continued staring at her, stunned for a moment.


    Just as Thea thought her words had put some sense into Natasha, Natasha suddenly uttered,


    “You''re right!”


    Thea was confused.


    Before Thea could even understand what Natasha meant, Natasha suddenly went near Thea and


    threw her off the speedboat.


    Ssh!


    Big waves formed on the river upon the impact.


    Just like that, Thea was thrown into the river without seeing iting. As the icy, cold water entered


    her nostrils, she choked violently and started struggling in the water. “I-I can''t swim... Help me...


    Ugh... Help... Ugh...”


    However, indifference was written all over Natasha''s face as she watched Thea struggle in the


    water with the fear of dying at any second. She still could not quell her anger.


    Of course, Natasha had no ns to let Thea die so easily.


    Seeing that she was barely holding on, Natasha tugged at the rope and pulled Thea back to the


    surface of the water. However, she pulled just enough for Thea to breathe above water.


    Finally catching a breath of air, Thea coughed violently before shooting Natasha a re. “What are


    you trying to do?”


    Natasha replied calmly, “I''m going to make your life a living hell.”


    Thea was at a loss for words.


    It was at that moment that she realized Natasha had no intention of letting her go.


    That thought filled Thea with anger. She was about to say something when Natasha released the


    rope, causing Thea to sink into the water again.


    The words she wanted to say went down with her into the water.


    “Help me... Help...” Thea pleaded as she struggled.


    She knew no one woulde to save her at that moment, but it was humans'' natural instincts to


    say those words.


    Seeing that she was on the verge of losing consciousness, Natasha pulled Thea out of the water


    again.


    Thea, who could finally breathe again, looked up at Natasha. The feeling of suffocating in the water


    was more


    terrifying than being killed.


    “Natasha, why don''t you just kill me if you dare?” Thea yelled frustratedly. The torture was making


    her lose her mind.


    Natasha remained emotionless as she gazed at Thea.


    “I prefer seeing the look of fear on your face when you''re faced with death and watching you


    struggle to survive,” Natasha said slowly.


    I get it now. She wants to torture me, and she''s doing that as a form of entertainment.


    “Natasha, you''re crazy!” Thea screamed.


    The corner of Natasha''s lips curled upward, and she let go of the rope again.


    Just like that, Natasha kept repeating the process of pulling and releasing the rope as if it was a


    game.


    She repeated the process many times until Thea could not bear it anymore.


    When she was pulled back to the surface of the water for the nth time, Thea wailed, pleading,


    “Natasha, just let me die already, will you? Just kill


    I?

    me!


    “I don''t want to soil my hands.”


    “Then what do you want? What should I do to make you release me?” Thea cried.


    “I haven''t decided.”


    “Please, I beg of you. Please let me go. If not, just kill me already.” “Are you feeling scared now?” "I


    never wanted to harm your daughter. I just wanted to teach her a lesson, not hurt her!”


    Natasha''s eyes narrowed dangerously, and she sneered, “Do you think I''ll stop being mad if you say


    that? What makes you think you have the right to teach her a lesson?”


    Thea parted her lips. “She was the one who spoke rudely to me first, so I—”


    “So you attacked a child?”


    “I ?


    “Thea Jarman, I know you''ve plotted many things behind my back, and I can ignore all of that. But


    you''ve gone too far this time.”


    Natasha originally had no ns to tell Thea about that. After all, questioning thetter could not


    undo the things she had done. Hence, there was no point in doing so. But since Thea had brought it


    up, Natasha had to announce her stance.


    Yet, Thea only felt more aggrieved after hearing that. “Me? Plotting things? Natasha, do you really


    think I''m the one to me? It''s you who took everything away from me— everything that belonged


    to me in the first ce. Why don’t you ask yourself? You should be ming yourself instead. You''re


    the one who forced me to do all that. Sure, I attacked your daughter, but that''s because you forced


    me to do so!”


    Natasha scrunched up her face. In the next second, she released the rope again.
