NovelEnglish"Go to hell!"
Alice stood up with all her strength and lunged at Rachel, aiming for her chest with the knife.Alice smiled menacingly, believing
that this was the moment she had been waiting for.
But the next second, Rachel, who was standing in front of her, swiftly dodged the attack and grabbed her wrist.Her fingertips dug
deeply into Alice's skin, making her writhe in pain.
"Let me go..."
Rachel huffed and loosened her grip.
Alice gasped and lost her balance, falling heavily to the floor.She was all out of strength now.
Rachel remained as calm as ever.She bent down and picked up the knife.
The bloodstained blade twinkled, making it look like a reaper's sickle.
Alice cowered in fear as she stared at the reddened tip of the knife, her eyes filled with tears.
"Why?! Rachel, why? I hate you so much! Why are you taking everything from me?! Why can't I have what I want?! I've already
lost so much! So why?! This is so unfair!"
"Why, you ask?" Rachel coldly smiled.
"Because my surname is Bennet, and you, Alice, will always be a nobody."
"Why, you!"
Alice gritted her teeth in rage, blood oozing from the corner of her lips.
Rachel's words stabbed her heart like a knife.
She purposely said the thing that Alice was insecure about the most.
When they were kids, every time someone came to visit, they would only look at Rachel because she was the rightful heir of the
Bennet family.
Alice's father was Jack and her mother was Caroline.
She had no ties to the Bennet family by blood.
As a result, she started to compete with Rachel for their father's love and attention.
She was determined to take everything she could from Rachel, and as time passed, she had learned how to steal Rachel's
friends by playing the victim.
Finally, everyone started to notice her.
However, Rachel was specially chosen by Victor's grandma to be his bride.
Alice was crestfallen.
After so many years of hard work, it had all gone down the drain.
She grew more envious of her half-sister each day.
Since she was a child, she had been trying so hard to get rid of the label of her being an illegitimate daughter.
Because Rachel's mother came from the Bennet family, she was still given respect despite being a troublemaker.
Regardless of how remarkable Alice was, she was still just an illegitimate daughter in other people's eyes.
She didn't want to accept it.
She knew that Rachel wouldn't let her go.
Alice burst into shrill, resentful laughter.
She grabbed Rachel's wrist and pointed the knife on her neck.
"Kill me, Rachel!"
“Hurry up! Do it! Kill me now so I can turn into a ghost and haunt you forever! I will curse you and make sure you will meet a
horrible end!"
Alice forced Rachel's hand towards her neck, closing her eyes.She felt the tip of the blade against her neck.
But there was no pain.
Alice slowly opened her eyes and saw that Rachel had turned the knife over at the last minute.
"You..."
"I won't kill you, Alice," Rachel uttered.
Rachel's words were calm, but Alice didn't feel relieved at all.She felt even more scared instead.
The chill rose from her feet and spread all over her body.
"Aren't you going to avenge Abby?"
Rachel lowered her gaze.
The coldness and fierceness in her beautiful eyes were reflected in the blood-stained knife.
"I don't want to get my hands dirty.But don't worry.I'll make sure you suffer the consequences ten times more."
Rachel wiped the blood off the knife with her dress.
"Did you really think you can simply pay for your sins with your life, Alice?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Death is such an easy way out for someone like you."
Rachel smiled as she examined the edge of the blood- stained knife and listened to Quintin's warning through the earpiece.
The person she had been waiting for was about to arrive.
"Alice, I want you...to live a life that is even more dreadful than death."
As soon as Rachel finished her words, she grabbed Alice's hand and mercilessly cut her own arm without even blinking, even as
a few drops of blood fell to the floor.
Alice's eyes widened in shock.
"Rachel? What are you doing?"
Before Alice finished her words, Rachel suddenly took a few steps back until her back pressed against the railing.
The sea breeze blew, and her long hair and dress floated with the wind.
It was dazzling to see, like a wild rose that was about to scatter into the horizon.
Alice wasn't sure what Rachel was up to, but it made her tremble.
"Rachel..."
"If I jump from here, do you think people will assume that I jumped by myself or that you pushed me off?" Rachel asked in a calm
voice.
"You're trying to frame me!"
With that realization, Alice tried to get up.
However, with the pain in her ankle and the drug's effect on her body, she was unable to move.
She could only shout at Rachel in a hoarse voice.
"Don't even think about it! Rachel! Stop what you're doing! They wouldn't believe it! I know they won't! You're fucking crazy!"
"You're sure? Let's see what's going to happen."
"No..."
Before Alice could finish her words, Rachel leaned against the railing and pushed herself backwards.
Splash!
She flipped over and fell straight into the sea, creating ripples in the surface.
Victor rushed over, hearing the sound of something falling into the water.He didn't exactly see what happened, but his eyes
quickly widened in shock, and his heart seemed to stop beating.He frantically tried to catch Rachel, but it was too late.
"No, it wasn't me! I didn't push her!"
Alice didn't expect that Rachel would jump off the ship without hesitation.
Seeing the guests quickly gather in front of her, she shook her head helplessly.
Trembling, she dropped the knife in her hand and it fell to the floor, making a crisp sound.
As soon as Victor saw the blood-stained knife, his mind went blank.
Rachel was hurt! That was the only thing on his mind.
"Mr.Sullivan!"
Before Ivan could stop him, Victor had already jumped into the sea.
"Call the guards!"
Shocked by what happened, Ivan turned his head and quickly yelled for backup.
All of a sudden, the deck was in chaos.
"It wasn't me.I didn't do it!"
Alice cried as she continued to shake her head.
"She did it to herself!"
Ivan moved his head downwards and narrowed his eyes at Alice.
When he saw the blood on the blade, he yelled, "Security! Take this woman away!"
Someone immediately took a step forward and put their hand on Alice's shoulder.
She struggled and fell on her knees, grabbing Ivan's trousers.
"Ivan, I didn't push her! It's not true! She jumped down herself.It has nothing to do with me.Please believe me!"
"Trust you? Alice, you'd better pray that Mr.Sullivan and Miss Bennet are safe, or else..." lvan paused.
No matter which one of them died here, he couldn't imagine the consequences.
