Chapter 872
Rosemary had always been the one inflicting pain. She never dreamed that one day, she would be on the receiving end.
As for why Dowager Vance remained silent, it wasn’t due to some hidden strength. It was because the gag in her mouth made it impossible for her to
scream.
Rosemary quickly broke, falling to her knees and pleading with Hannah. “Ma’am, please, have mercy! Forgive me! I was forced to do it, my mother made me! I never wanted to hurt Carey! Never p>
She would say anything to get out of there.
“You didn’t?” Hannah’s fury erupted. She slapped Rosemary across the face. “How could you not? You seemed to be enjoying yourself in that video, didn’t you? So you know what pain feels like? Did it ever occur to you that my daughter could feel pain too p>
“This is what you call karma p>
An hour later, the group prepared to leave the glass-walled room.
Sanger, the officer in charge, hurried over. “Miss Gonzales, please wait p>
“What is it?” Caitlin asked, glancing back.
Sanger continued, “I need to know your instructions for the disposition of Diana and Rosemary p>
“Let’s make it forty years,” Caitlin said coolly. “And during those forty years, I want them to experience every hardship, every beating my mother endured. One for one p>
She had meant what she said. She would make them wish they were dead.
Forty… forty years?
The words hit Rosemary with the force of a physical blow, and she fainted dead away. If she was locked up here for forty years, she would be over seventy when she got out. What could a seventy-year-old woman even do?
Dowager Vance’s heart turned to ash. Forty years. That was a death sentence. She would die in this police station.
With a final surge of desperation, she crawled to Hannah’s feet and clutched at her ankle. “Please, let my daughter go. She’s just a child, she didn’t know better! I did all the evil! If you want revenge, take it out on me. Don’t ruin my daughter’s life, please! She’s innocent p>
Hannah kicked her hand away in disgust. “Your daughter, innocent? She’s just as rotten to the core as you are! People like her are a plague, on society She deserves to be locked away in a dark cell foothe
rest of her life, just like you unable to live, unable to die p>
Compared to what Carey had suffered, this was nothing.
Meanwhile, back home. Sylvester Manor.
It was the
day the children came
home for their bi-monthly family dinner. Beatrice was in high spirits After lunch, she gave special
instructions to the butter el

bass, the one Skyler likes so much? I want two of them for tonight. Steam one, and grill the other with a lemon-dill sauce p>
“Very good, madam p>
Just as she finished speaking, Alaina Sylvester and Justice Cumming walked in. Justice placed a gift bag on a nearby table. “Mom p>
“You’re back,” Beatrice said with a warm smile.
“Mom!” Alaina sat down beside her mother. “You’ll never guess who we ran into on our way in p>
“Who?” Beatrice asked curiously.
“Gordon p>
Beatrice glanced at Alaina. “Well, if you saw your brother, why didn’t you bring him in with you p>
Alaina shook her head. “He was with this enormous black dog. It was taller than a man when it stood up! It looked terrifying. I wasn’t about to walk next to that thing p>
Even though Alaina had only seen the dog from behind, it had been enough to frighten her.
“He got a dog Beatrice shot up from her chair, incensed. “That boy! I tell him to find a girlfriend, and he makes every excuse in the book. But a cat and a dog? He’s all in Why, doesn’t he just marry his pets and be done with it p>
She turned to the butler, her voice sharp with anger. “You go and tell that boy of
mine! In this house, it’s me or the dog. He can’t have both p>
