Have you ever felt joy? What have you gotten from all this plotting? In the end, it's a lose-lose situation." "You're wrong.
I was disfigured, disowned, and driven out of my family.
I lost everything.
Why should Shana have everything?" "She was just a country bumpkin.
How could she take my place? I might've lost, but you don't get to celebrate my defeat.
A lose-lose situation is a win in my books!" She looked down at David.
"Look at you now.
You're beaten and battered.
You look pitiful.

Soon, the entire Fordham family will be destroyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI will destroy you and the Fordham family!" "You really have lost your mind." "Yes, I've lost my mind.

Do you know that Shana, the woman you care so much about, has becBrandon's woman now? "Does it hurt? Oh, right.
You don't know yet, right? That old geezer, Douglas, is dead as well.
Soon, you and your sons will follow suit!" "Deborah, you're a heartless wretch!" Due to David's excessive struggle, the iron chains clanked incessantly.
Deborah held his chin and smiled.
"What? Don't you want that? Why don't you begfor mercy? I might consider giving them a swift and painless end if you do so." "Dream on." David sneered.
"I'd rather die than beg you for mercy." "Don't worry.

How would you witness the death of your loved ones if you're dead? All of your children will die painful deaths.

She'll never escape." The insanity in Deborah's eyes grew as the smile on her face becwider.
It was a very unsettling expression.
Someone brought food over.
Deborah tried to feed David, but he turned his head to the side.
"Not eating, are you? Fine.
Let's see how long you can last." Deborah left after she said that.
The basement was shrouded in darlmess again.

In the afternoon, Deborah received news that something had happened to David.
She rushed back to the basement and saw blood everywhere.
David had smashed a bowl and used a broken piece to cut himself.
Deborah tilted his chin and looked at his pale face.

He knew his chance had come.

Bryce rushed over.
"Mr.

It was a desperate attempt to lure out the mastermind.
But the incident during the ceremony was something he didn't expect.
The Fordham family was in turmoil.

"Where is he?" He was so excited that he stood up straight.
"He's in an abandoned villa in the suburban area.” Sean's hands were trembling with excitement as he dialed Olivia's number.
