She turned pale with fear and began to beg for mercy.
“Shut up.” I was annoyed, so I stabbed the knife into Noah’s thigh.
“Ugh!” He rolled around on the sofa in pain and his mother finally realized I wasn’t joking. She shut her mouth tightly in terror.
I ignored her and turned to grab Ava by the hair.
“Noah, save me! She’s crazy! She’s going to kill me!”
I held her phone up to her face and unlocked it instantly.
Sure enough, there were numerous call records from public phones.
“You’re pretty cautious. What’s the leader’s name? These calls were made to him, weren’t they?”
I slapped her face with the flat side of the knife, but Ava only screamed and kept denying it.
It was clear those people were already dead and couldn’t testify.
Her voice was driving me crazy, so I grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it into her mouth with all my strength.
“Pfft!” Ava immediately spatted out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth, too pained to
make another sound.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I have plenty of ways to make you confess.”
I smiled, put away the knife and pulled my sister’s diary from my bag.
“From now on, stay quiet. Otherwise, I’ll cut out her tongue.”
They could see I wasn’t bluffing and the three of them instantly fell silent.
I sat on the ground and slowly opened my sister’s diary.
“Today, I went back to the old house with Noah. The matriarch had the butler block my way, saying I was a woman who had been with countless men and didn’t deserve to enter through the main gate, forcing me to crawl through the dog door.
In the end, it was Noah who said I was pregnant and brought me in through the side door. The matriarch cursed me at the table, saying I brought bad luck and had killed his older brother, forbidding me from eating at the table.
I stood by to serve them food, but Ava deliberately knocked over the soup in my hands. Even though I was the one who was scalded, they all thought I did it on purpose and made me apologize to her.”
Reading this, I stood up and walked dangerously toward the kitchen.
I brought out a pot of boiling water and knelt beside Ava.
“I’ll apologize to you now–but only if you’re really burned.”
She was so scared she slid off the sofa and crawled on the ground, bowing her head desperately.
I scooped up the boiling water and poured it over her hands.
“Ah!” she let out a piercing scream as her hands quickly swelled and blistered.

“I’m sorry, I burned you.”
I apologized as I pinched her chin and forced another spoonful of boiling water into her mouth. “I told you to be quiet. Do you think my words are just wind blowing past your ears?” Ava’s pupils dilated as the scalding water flowed down her esophagus and she writhed violently on the ground like a dying maggot. After a few spasms, she passed out completely.
Noah and his mother stood by, stunned.
His mother trembled as she knelt, about to beg for mercy, but when her eyes met my bloodthirsty gaze, she dared not utter a word.
She could only bang her head against the floor repeatedly. After a few strikes, her forehead was already covered in blood.
