Chapter 228 Dealing The Blow
Chapter 228 Dealing The Blow
Seeing Logan dragging Rosa in by her leg while she was unconscious, Tommy started to panic. "You
can't treat her like this. She has just gone through a miscarriage! She's very weak and can't stand so
much stress!"
"Wow, you're more affectionate than I thought," Marie sneered and walked over. Then she kicked him
hard on the head, "B*stard, let's see if you still dare to threaten me!"
"Affectionate? Hahaha please!" Deborah laughed, "Do you really believe that this b*stard loves that
b*tch? They are lying to you. The child in her belly was definitely not his! They're just putting on an act
to scam you."
"Nonsense. The baby in her belly is mine!" Tommy retorted. There was no way Rosa had been with
another man while she was with him. Besides, they were so in love. How could she lie to him?
"Why don't we wake this sl*t up and ask her?" Deborah sneered and poured a bucket of water on
Rosa. Rosa quickly woke up from the cold.
"Sugar? What are you guys doing?" Although Deborah's face was full of scars, Rosa was still able to
recognize her at a glance.
"There are a lot of things we want to do. Right now what I want to know is, were you the snitch that told
this b*stard about what happened last time? Were you the one who instigated him to write me that
anonymous threat letter? Also, was the child in your belly really his?" Deborah pointed to Tommy, who
was tied up next to her, and asked.
"Why did you tie him up? Let go of him!" Rosa just only realized that Tommy was tied up at the side.
Rosa knew how brutal Sugar used to be. It could not be a good sign that they were now in her hands.
Rosa started to feel distressed, "Sugar, take me instead. Let Tommy go!"
"Answer my question!" Deborah slapped Rosa in the face.
"I was the one who wrote the anonymous letter, it has nothing to do with Tommy!" Rosa took all the
blame upon herself in hopes that Deborah would be willing to let Tommy go. Of course, she had no
idea that Deborah had no intention of letting her out of here alive. Rosa thought that they were just
planning to torture her a little.
"I knew it was you, you b*tch!" Deborah slapped her again, "You evil b*tch, I have no grudges against
you. Why are you doing this to me?"
It was all because of Rosa that Steven had broken her legs. She even got sent to a mental asylum. If
Marie hadn't rescued her, she would have been in there forever. When she thought back to her days in
the asylum, and her lame legs, Deborah was filled with hatred.
As Deborah's slaps started getting harsher, Tommy's heart ached on the sidelines, "I wrote the
anonymous letter. Deborah, take it out on me instead. Don't hurt Rosa!"
"You b*stard, you're trying to be a hero, huh? I'll grant your wish later, don't worry," Deborah was tired
from the slaps and she sat down, panting. At the sight of Rosa's unrecognizable swollen face, Tommy
felt deeply hurt, "Rosa, it's all my fault. I'm sorry!"
"I'm the one who brought you into this. Tommy, I shouldn't have told you those things," Rosa also
regretted what she had done.
"Wow, look at the two lovebirds. Do you think we're shooting a romance film?" Marie laughed
sarcastically.
"Are you guys really sleeping with each other?" Deborah looked at Rosa and Tommy in disbelief. All
this while, she was under the assumption that they were putting on an act to scam her.
"We aren't just sleeping together. We are lovers, and we love each other!" Tommy corrected her.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Deborah burst out laughing into tears. It took her a while to stop laughing. She pointed at
Tommy and Rosa while asking Marie, "Oh my God! It's incredible! It's way too incredible! Marie, do you
know what relationship this b*stard has with this b*tch?"
"Aren't they sleeping together?" Marie was not as clear as Deborah about what was going on.
Deborah's expression made it seem like there was something more to the story.
"If that's true, does your mom know about you two?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Of course!" Tommy answered.
"She knows yet she approves of you two together?" Deborah's widened eyes were full of disbelief.
Marie, who was watching from the side, was confused, "What nonsense are you going on about? Let's
hurry up and get down to business."
"No, I'm telling you, her full name is Rosa Skinner. She's Loraine's sister-in-law. Do you know
that Tommy is Rosa's nephew? They've slept together and even had a child together. How could
Loraine let her son commit incest with his aunt? Oh, my God!"
"Incest?" Marie stared at Rosa and Tommy with her eyes wide open in surprise.
"Nonsense!" Rosa and Tommy exchanged a look and shouted at the same time.
"Nonsense? Is Loraine your former sister-in-law?" Deborah asked Rosa, and she nodded. Then, she
asked Tommy, "Is Loraine your birth mother?"
Tommy nodded. Deborah sneered, pointed to Tommy and said to Rosa, "This is the son that Loraine
took away from your brother all those years ago. Do you understand the situation now?"
"Impossible!" Rosa's face was full of horror. To her disbelief, she had fallen in love with her own
nephew. She could not believe it at all, "Sugar, you're lying!"
"She's not lying. I finally understand why Loraine wanted her to have a miscarriage now. She must
have known about it and realized the child was a product of incest!" Marie was starting to catch on as
well.
Tommy and Rosa looked at each other in utter shock. Marie looked at the time and said, "Alright,
enough blabbering now. Let's get this over with!"
Deborah nodded, picked up a stick, and pressed it against Tommy, "B*stard, it's all because of you that
I've become like this. I'm the type of person to hold a grudge. I'm making things even between us
today."
"What are you going to do to me?"
"An eye for an eye right? Or I guess in this case, a leg for a leg!" As soon as she finished her sentence,
she swung down hard with her stick. The next thing that could be heard was an ear-splitting scream.
Logan rushed in and asked, "What on earth are you guys up to? You're causing a huge commotion."
As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of rag and stuffed it into Tommy's mouth, but Deborah sneered, "It's
so remote here, and no one will hear us at such a late hour."
As she spoke, she beat Tommy's legs repeatedly, without mercy. Tommy's mouth was gagged, and he
could not make a sound. Beads of sweat kept dripping down from his forehead, and his expression no
longer resembled that of a human being.
Rosa recovered from the shock. When she saw what Deborah was doing to Tommy, she had the
sudden realization that this was not just a simple payback, but that their lives were actually in danger.
So, she shouted for help. As soon as she did, Logan quickly found something else to stuff her mouth
and turned around. When Rosa saw Logan's face, she was shocked, "It's you?"
"It's me!" Before she could answer, Logan stuffed her mouth shut. She glared at him with fire burning in
her eyes. He was the man who took away her innocence! She was the one who had kept all his crimes
a secret, but now here he was repaying her kindness with betrayal.
Rosa hated him so much, but it was too late now!
Tommy's legs were broken and he was on the brink of death. Marie stepped forward and kicked him.
She turned to Deborah and said, "There's not much time left. Let's pour the gasoline!"
Logan took out a barrel of gasoline and poured it all over Tommy and Rosa. Then, he lit the lighter and
went out. The fire spread throughout the room at once.
Rosa and Tommy struggled hard but they soon fell to the ground motionless. The fire spread
throughout the abandoned house, and soon the house was enveloped in a sea of fire.
"This shabby house has been abandoned for many years. No one will notice even if it burns down all of
a sudden. Even if someone notices, no one will clean the debris up. We've finally tied up all the loose
ends," Marie looked at the fire and sneered.
"Yes, I've finally vented my anger by getting rid of those two ruts!" Deborah got in the car and said,
"Let's go!"
Deborah and Marie's every action was observed by Edric's men. The reason Edric had instigated
Tommy to go blackmail Marie was to make Marie unnerved. Edric had expected Marie and Deborah to
act but their ruthlessness went beyond his expectations.
The two of them had executed a murder. Edric did not feel sympathetic for Tommy's death at all. After
all, he needed them to fight amongst each other internally. Unfortunately, Rosa was an innocent
woman who got caught up in all of this, but he still did not feel very sorry for her. After all, Rosa knew
that Logan and Deborah had conspired to kill Myra, but she had kept silent. Her death was simply
karma catching up to her.
Meanwhile, Loraine, that wicked woman was suffering a lot at the hospital. Now her son had just been
murdered by Deborah and the rest. Judging from the incident, Deborah would not be going easy on
Loraine either. Edric could not let Loraine die now, so it seemed like it was time to tell her about
Margaret waking up .
If Loraine heard that Margaret was awake, she would definitely be scared out of her wits. She would
probably try to escape. The next step was for Edric to turn her life upside down. When she was
completely physically and mentally worn out, then he would break the news of Tommy's death to her.
Given Loraine's personality, she would not let it go when she knew that Deborah and Marie were the
murderers who killed her son. Things would take their own course from there, and all Edric had to do
was sit back and observe.
Meanwhile, Joanna had been chased out of the White Mansion by Britney. She had no choice but to
return to her own home. She used to be so doted upon by Britney so she had mostly stayed with her.
She rarely returned to her own home.
Now, she had been kicked out so she had to dejectedly return to her own home. The White family had
a house like a palace, and there were maids attending to her every need. As long as she kept Britney
happy, she could spend money as she pleased.
However, her own family was different. Her father was a good-for-nothing who relied on the family.
Although they weren't living in poverty, it was still a huge difference from life in the White Mansion.
As she had been kicked out from the house, her parents weren't too happy with her return. Previously,
when she had been on Britney and Nathan's good side, her useless father had treated her like
treasure. Joanne's position in the family had been no joke. However, now her father was upset with her.
Even the tone he spoke to her with was rather unfriendly.
Joanne was now surrounded in a huge chasm all alone. What she was feeling was obvious to anyone.
