Chapter 564: Chapter 564: You Want to Die, I’ll Grant Your Wish
The knife had already been poisoned. She was going to die sooner or later anyway, so keeping her alive a few more days would let her taste the agony of being poisoned.
“Caleb Mamet, you’re heartless, devoid of humanity, and destined for a horrible death!”
Watching her daughter collapse to the ground with blood pouring from her mouth, Mrs. Woods screamed like a madwoman and rattled the iron bars.
Caleb cast a detached glance at her.
He had heard such curses countless times before, yet he was still alive in this world, while all those who opposed him met a miserable end.
Caleb elegantly stood up as Mrs. Woods glared at him with fierce hatred, grinding her teeth. After a while, her lips twitched, and she burst into crazed laughter.
“Caleb, you’re cruel and ruthless! If Xaviera Evans knew what kind of person you were, she’d be afraid! And she’d leave you forever!”
“You are a devil! My daughter was your childhood friend, and yet you cut off her tongue! How could you do such a thing? If Xaviera knew how heartless you were, wouldn’t she be afraid that one day you’d turn on her?”
“Caleb! One day she’ll leave you! She’ll be disgusted by you, hate you, escape from you!”
Caleb paused, his gaze cold, and an icy aura of lethal violence emanated from his entire body.
Sean Price immediately felt a shiver run down his spine and was filled with terror.
Crack!
The pen in Caleb’s hand instantly snapped in two. For the first time, a look of panic crossed his face, and his heart pounded furiously.
At that moment, Mrs. Woods’s words repeated in his mind: “Caleb! She will leave you eventually! She will be disgusted by you, hate you, and run away from you!”
...
The dungeon was dark, and Xaviera cautiously moved forward as the smell of blood grew stronger, alongside the painful howls and pleas echoing in her ears.
At this moment, she was sure that the Woods family was being held captive in this dungeon.
The second underground floor was used to store wine, so the air was fresh, and the room was clean. But as soon as she stepped through the door to the third underground floor, the atmosphere was saturated with the smell of blood.
As Xaviera looked around the scene, she couldn’t help but be astonished. The further she went inside, the stronger the smell became, and there were even drag marks of blood on the floor.
There was an exquisite set of table and chairs laid out ahead, evidently worth a fortune. A cup of cold coffee was left on the table.
Xaviera saw the people locked up inside: Mr. Woods, Mrs. Woods, and Zara were all there.
Zara had poisoned and spent 20 million dollars to hire an assassin to kill, while Mr. and Mrs. Woods had known all along and supported her actions, hiding their murderous deeds.
Over the years, the Woods family must have committed many heinous acts. Killing Mrs. Mamet would have fulfilled Zara’s desires and helped the Woods family rise in status, reaping double rewards.
