Chapter 692
With a swift motion, I pulled out the fruit knife hidden in my pocket and turned around to stab Kimberly fiercely, amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd. This scene happened too quickly.
It wasn’t until Kimberly’s abdomen was covered in a large pool of blood that everyone finally snapped out of it. In an instant, screams, cries of terror, and the sound of footsteps filled the air, creating a scene of utter chaos. Kimberly’s face turned pale with pain, and she looked at me in disbelief.
I sneered at her. “Go to hell!”
With that, I viciously pulled out the knife, ready to stab her again. But in the next second, a strong force suddenly pulled me, and then I was grabbed by the neck and pressed against the wall.
It was Reynaldo. At this moment, Braylon also realized what was happening and quickly evacuated the people who came to pay their respects, along with the bodyguards. Soon, only a few familiar people were left in the spacious hall.
Reynaldo stared at me with a fierce look in his eyes and said, “Do you know what you are doing?”
“Revenge.”
I smiled at him and didn’t want to care about anything. “She killed your mother and my mother, but you all don’t believe it. Since none of you believed my words, I took revenge by myself, even if it meant going down with you all.”
“Die together?” Reynaldo’s body was tense, and he was almost shaking as he squeezed my neck. He glared at me with crimson eyes and said, “It was clearly your own fault. Why do you always like to blame others for your mistakes? Do you think that by killing her, you can absolve yourself of this sin?”
“It’s not my fault, it’s clearly her fault, why do you all have to cover up for her?!” I yelled at him madly.
Reynaldo looked at me with a sad and hateful expression. “Last night, I gave you a chance, didn’t I? I even invited all the relevant people to come and confront each other, but what was the result? I also hoped that you were innocent, really, Esmeralda, I really hoped that you were innocent. Even your father and your brother are pointing fingers at you. How can I believe you?”
“Hehehe…”
Listening to his words, I laughed in despair, laughing until I didn’t care anymore. Indeed, even my biological father and my beloved brother were pointing fingers at me. How can I prove my innocence? It doesn’t matter anymore, whether he believes me or not, it doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing is, today I finally “killed” the snake Kimberly. Seeing her face turn pale with pain, seeing blood flowing from her abdomen, I was excited beyond measure.
My gaze fell on Reynaldo’s sullen face, and I said to him softly. “I don’t want your trust anymore, and I don’t want your forgiveness either. It doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore. All I want now is that bastard’s life!”
“Esmeralda!”
Reynaldo looked at me intently and said, “Do you think that by killing her, you can get away with it? You stabbed her in front of everyone, you can’t escape responsibility.”
“It doesn’t matter, even if I die, as long as I can avenge my mother, nothing else matters to me.”
“Is it worth dying over?” Reynaldo’s hand around my neck was shaking even more violently.
At this moment, Johnathan’s anxious voice came, “Reynaldo, come quickly, Kimberly has lost a lot of blood, she seems to be in critical condition, hurry and take her to the hospital.”
