Mrs. Chambers pointed to Savannah, shaking. She felt a mixed feeling of anger, disappointment and
pain.
She gave birth to this girl and raised her to be a beautiful woman. But this girl should have learned to
hire a murderer to kill someone, and the one was her sister-in-law, who was pregnant and nearly gave
a birth to a baby. If she made it, the aftermath might be one body with two lives, which was a
devastating blow to an ordinary family.
Did her daughter ever think about it?
She cannot understand how her daughter can be so malicious to kill someone, just because she hated
Ophelia?
If words got out about this thing, it would not only make people laugh at them, but all people would
accuse her of being a loser as a mother. She gave her daughter a rich life, but did not educate her
about correct outlook on life and values.
What she thought was that her daughter was just a little bit capricious, but she never expected that her
daughter had the brass neck to hire someone to kill.
With a mixed feeling, she thought that this girl in front of her was so strange.
Savannah said, with no regret, “Yes, I did it. But she deserved it. As long as she died, our family will
restore the peace as before.”
Furious, Mrs. Chambers raised her hand and slapped Savannah.
Savannah covered her face after being slapped at the second time in one day.
“Mom, you hit me?”
Mrs. Chambers clutched her chest, and mixed emotions filled her heart. Faint pain came from her
heart.
She gasped for breath and said unsteadily, “I wish I never had given birth to you. If I can know that you
will be like this in advance, I will get you aborted.”
Savannah was shocked.
Anger aggravated the pain of Mrs. Chambers.
Mr. Chambers took her in his arms and soothed her in a low voice. “Take it easy, Helena.” He said,
“You cannot be so excited.”
Mrs. Chambers leaned into his arms, with her eyes glued to Savannah.
Seeing this, Mr. Chambers said, “Savannah, apologize to your mother now. You have made your
mother so angry.”
Anyway, he still loved his daughter, so he tried to give her an excuse. He didn’t want them to break up.
He believed that his wife will probably regret for that in the future if he didn’t stop it.
Savannah was still in a daze.
Mr. Chambers sighed and added, “What are you doing there? Apologize now!”
Savannah mumbled to apologize, but was stopped by Mrs. Chambers, “I don't need an apology from
her. She did something wrong and she must be punished.”
Mr. Chambers said, “Helena, she might just have done that out of an impulse. You take it easy, and
Ophelia and baby are all fine now. Would you like Savannah to go to jail?”
Mrs. Chambers stared at Mr. Chambers in disbelief.
“You're protecting her even now? No matter who she hired a murderer to kill, it’s not a moral issue, but
a legal issue. I want her to know no matter how powerful the Chambers family is, she cannot hide
herself under the wings of the family every time she did something wrong. No one can protect her
forever.”
Ms. Chambers echoed what Zachariah had said to Savannah.
Mr. Chambers looked down thoughtfully.
Savannah shouted, “Mom, are you really going to send me to jail?” Her voice was piercing with
nervousness.
“You are my only daughter,” Said Mrs. Chambers, calming down. “I will never send you to prison for
whatever you have done. What I have done and will do is to make my children lead a happy life.”
Savannah's eyes was filled with surprise in an instance.
“Mom, you forgive me?”
Mrs. Chambers shook head.
“Savannah, you move out of the main villa from now on. You have grown up and you should learn how
to live on your own and take care of yourself.
Savannah was in a total loss.
“Mom, what do you mean?”
“I mean your dad and I are going to cut off all your financial support, and you should get a job and see
how hard it is to make money. You will get a better sense of who is really kind to you and who is not.”
Said Mrs. Chambers cruelly.
“After you move out, I will get your friend informed that the Chambers family will not give you any
support. You can see whether your friend will give you a hand. You should grow mature. Before, I
pretended to ignore what you had done to Ophelia, but I realize that I was totally wrong. I believe you
will see a clearer world after you move out and become independent. You will know how sincere
Ophelia was to you before.”
