12:01  Chapter 86  Chapter 86  Seeing such a gruesome scene made Grandma feel really uneasy, but with my life on the line, she swallowed her discomfort and said, “Do you honestly think showing me some random prop will make me believe that’s Amanda? Nicole, I’m not some naive teenager!” While they argued, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the screen. Just one glance, and I knew that finger was mine. However, it was clear this severed finger wasn’t cut today.  Nicole zoomed in on the finger “Grandma, don’t you even recognize your own granddaughter’s finger? Or maybe your eyesight’s getting worse. Let me zoom in for you. See that deep scar on Amanda’s index finger? She got it last year playing the violin.”  “What’s a scar? Nicole, you should just give up.”  “Grandma, you really won’t believe it until it’s too late.”  obot of my profile.  Nicole looked down and typed something on her phone; soon, another photo popped up. This time, it was a shot of my “was my face, just like I had seen it in that secret room. Thanks to some special grease on my body, even though I’d been dead for  days, there wasn’t a hint of livor mortis. I looked as if I were merely sleeping.  This was the photo Grandma saw.  “Amanda” She began to believe Nicole. “What have you done to Amanda? Why are her eyes closed?”  Nicole was unfazed. “She probably passed out from the pain of losing her finger. Grandma, don’t blame me. Had you handed over the shares earlier, none of this would’ve happened.”  Grandma, clutching Nicole’s collar, shouted, “You maniac, she’s your sister! How could you cut off her finger? How’s she supposed to live now?”  Nicole’s gaze was icy. Grandma didn’t get it, but I did. She was saying I had no future. For now, she still needed me. So she wouldn’t reveal the full truth to Grandma.  Nicole sneered, “111 count to three, and if you don’t answer, I’ll have someone chop off another finger, When both hands are gone, there’s always her feet and plenty of joints to break. Want to see how long she can hold out?”  “One…”  Before she even finished, Grandma said,  aid. “I need to  d to see Amanda before I sign anything” Grandma was still holding back.  Nicole laid the share transfer agreement on the table, locking indifferent. “Sign it, and I’ll bring her back. And you must promise not to breathe a word about today. If I could harm Amanda once, I can do it again. But she might not be so lucky next time.”  Grandma stared at her, unable to believe she was being outmaneuvered by such a young girl.  Maybe with someone else, Grandma would’ve stayed calm, but with me involved, she’d lost all reason,  Grandma looked into Nicole’s eyes and saw endless ambition and reluctantly gave in. “Fine, I’ll sign it. But if I don’t see Amanda, I wort let you  off.  I smiled bitterly. ‘Sorry, Grandma, you’ve been tricked. You won’t see me again.  My heart ached as I watched Grandma sign her name and press her fingerprint, but there was nothing I could change.  I’ve signed what you wanted. Now I want to see Amanda today.”  Nicole let the paper dry and carefully tucked it into her folder. “Grandma, I need you to record a video saying you’re willingly transferring  the shares to me.  Grandma had no choice but to comply.  After the video, Grandma hurriedly asked, “Where’s Amanda?”  Nicole’s lips curled into a sly smile, and I felt a chill  Then she slowly said, “Grandma, I lied to you. You’ll never see Amanda again,”
