Chapter 626

 626:
There had been so many chances for him to tell her the truth. Each time, he had chosen silence.
Tears welled in Linsey’s eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
“What are you hoping to accomplish by saying all this?” Linsey asked, her voice steady even as her world shook. “I’ll only believe what I hear from my husband. Your schemes to divide us won’t work, Carol.”
Rage flashed in Carol’s expression as she turned sharply to Alexa, who still lingered by the side, hesitant. “I told you to get the knife! Are you deaf?”
Alexa hesitated, fear trembling in her voice. “Carol, using a knife… it could really hurt her—maybe even kill her…”
Unfazed, Carol snapped back, “So what? She’s nobody. Why should I care?”
Carol’s hatred for Linsey had reached its breaking point.
Linsey watched, a strange sense of irony washing over her as she listened to Carol’s outburst.
She had never intentionally wronged Carol, yet she had somehow become the object of Carol’s relentless animosity. Carol’s hatred ran so deep that it seemed she truly wished Linsey would disappear.
Carol’s words left Alexa visibly shaken, her heart pounding beneath Carol’s icy glare.
After a moment of silence, Alexa mustered the courage to offer a chilling suggestion. “Simply cutting off her fingers or ending her life would be far too merciful. She deserves something worse—a punishment that lasts.”
Reluctantly, Carol set aside her original plan, but the determination in her eyes only grew. “Linsey cares more about her career than anything. Hurting her hands would be the ultimate torment.”
Her words were completely devoid of empathy.
Throughout it all, Linsey remained silent, the pain radiating from her right hand as she massaged it with her left. Even in the face of danger, her mind raced to find a way out.

Carol continued to pace, mulling over different ways to inflict suffering. Her voice was cold and methodical.
Then, with a twisted smile, Carol snapped, “Get the camera ready.”
“Understood,” came the immediate reply.
Carol’s accomplices quickly set up the camera, angling it directly at the bed where Linsey was restrained.
Exhaustion now tinged Carol’s voice. “I’m tired of dealing with you, Linsey. I’ll let someone else keep you company for a while.”
With that, she turned away, leaving Linsey to face whatever came next.
Carol stood up, a wicked grin spreading across her face.
Linsey’s heart pounded as she saw the menacing figures gathering near the bed. Fear flickered in her eyes. “What do you want from me?” she demanded, her voice trembling.
The men exchanged glances, their crude smirks making their intentions clear. “You can guess what happens in a setup like this,” one of them leered.
