Chapter 542
Bogus Billionaire
In the end, Daphne could only grit her teeth and say, âIf thatâs the case, we have to deal with her quickly. It will be bad for us if we delay and more problems arise.â
âItâll be fine.â Jane was very confident.
âBesides, I have some things to ask her.â
Daphne got more anxious. âWhat if someone finds outâ¦â
âDaph, youâre so timid.â Jane tilted her head up and looked at the brilliantly shining sun.
âEven if someone finds out, they wouldnât dare say anything. Unless, of course, they would like to feel the consequences of offending both the Collins and Morrison families.
âMrs. Collinsâ¦â
âCome.â
Jane ignored Daphne. She got someone to carry out her bidding. âWake her.â
âYes, maâam.â
One of the Collins familyâs bodyguards splashed water on Carolineâs face.
The iciness was an assault on Carolineâs skin, making her shiver. She slowly opened her eyes.
After a moment, she finally saw the person before her clearly. Her expression changed in instant.
âJane?â
an Jane smiled coldly as she bent down and grabbed Carolineâs chin. Her expression was sinister as she said, âThatâs right. Itâs me.â
Caroline was in such pain that she frowned. âWhy do you keep targeting me?â
Jane threw her head back and laughed. She gripped Caroline even harder.
âYouâre asking why Iâm targeting you? If it hadnât been for you, would my daughter have lost her mind?
You hurt Brie so much, but you just keep living it up.
âThe world canât be that unfair to let you have everything good in life while Brie gets everything horrible.â
Caroline had already expected that Jane would blame Brieâs insanity on her, but she had never expected that Jane would be so despicable.
âBrie got what she deserves!â
âShut up! I have something to ask you!â
Jane suddenly let go of Caroline. She straightened and looked down at Caroline.
âHow did she go crazy? What in the world did you do to her?â
âI donât know. I only found out that she went crazy a few days after she came after me.
âMaybe itâs divine retribution. She tricked me into going to the hotel, thinking that she could humiliate me.
âBut she never expected that she would go crazy herself. You-â
Caroline swept her gaze over the three people gathered around her. âMaybe retribution will soon come to you, too, for capturing me and bringing me here. Youâll be next to go crazy.â
Daphneâs face became ghostly.
Liam assumed that Daphne had been scared by Carolineâs words and quickly reassured her.
âMrs. Morrison, donât worry. There are no ghosts or gods in this world, so there wonât be any kind of divine retribution.â
Daphne looked at Liam, her lips trembling. She couldnât say a word.
She seemed to know why Brie had lost her mind. Thinking about it, her body started shaking.
She⦠wouldnât end up like Brie, would she?
Jane also noticed the unusual way Daphne was behaving.
Her eyebrows scrunched together. She simply couldnât believe Daphne had lost her cool at this crucial juncture.
She scoffed and said to Caroline, âRetribution? Indeed, there is such a thing in the world, Caroline. But it will be on you today.â
She continued, âYou will pay for my daughterâs insanity with your life! I would like to see who can possibly save you when weâre in the wilderness.â
As she spoke, she straightened and waved her men over. âThrow her down.â
At this, Daphneâs discomfited expression softened slightly.
âYou should have done that ages ago, Mrs. Collins.â
âDidnât I say that no one can save her now?â
Jane watched as Caroline was completely unbound. She angled her chin upward and pointed in a random direction. âThere. Make it seem like she slipped and fell.â
Carolineâs body was soft and pliant, completely weak. Soon, she was pushed to the edge of the mountain.
She looked down. The ground was more than 30 feet below her. Her swollen face paled.
Looking back, she saw three malicious pairs of eyes looking at her. Caroline knew that she wouldnât be able to escape this today.
However, she wasnât afraid of dying. But she felt that a death like this wasnât worth it.
