Alvina burst into tears.
Lucinda relaxed and enjoyed the scene.
She reached for an orange Nathaniel had peeled for her. He suddenly grasped her wrist and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief.
She looked confused, so he explained in a low voice, “Your hand was stained with her blood.”
Lucinda didn’t reply, but it felt good to have him looking out for her.
When she finished the last orange, Sonny was finishing his work.
There were wounds across Tess’ entire body, and she was covered in her own blood. Her hair was wet with sweat, and she looked so miserable. She swooned from the pain and passed out.
Sonny had chosen parts of her body that were painful but not fatal, going no deeper than was safe for maximum impact. Although Tess was covered in blood, her injuries would not require hospitalization.
Lucinda looked at Sonny.
Sonny had always seemed tender toward women. She hadn’t anticipated such a cruel streak.
Lucinda cast a meaningful glance to Nathaniel but said nothing.
She stood up, straightened her dress, and asked her people to release Alvina.
As soon as Alvina was untied, she rushed toward Tess, sobbing.
Lucinda warned her, “This time, I went easy on you. I have only avenged what happened at the charity party. 8.8 billion dollars belonging to me have been taken from the Green Group. I would advise that you bring them to me by your own free will. If not, I will show you how I intend to extract that value myself. Which will it be?”
Alvina didn’t say anything but shook with anger.
Lucinda didn’t expect Alvina to give her an answer right away. She walked to the door, about to leave when she remembered her car exploding, and instructed her people to smash all the Green family’s luxury cars, and uproot the orange tree from the backyard so they could take it with them.

The oranges were delicious. She enjoyed them very much.
The servants of the Green family were so frightened by Lucinda’s ferociousness, they forgot to help Tess.
“Just you wait!” Alvina roared.
“I will sue you! I’ll ensure you rot in jail for the rest of your life!”
Long after Lucinda walked out of the gate, Alvina’s angry roar pursued her.
Lucinda left without looking back, as though she didn’t hear it.
It was almost winter. Lucinda enjoyed the faint sunlight. It was not too warm, but it felt refreshing.
When the mission was complete, the people from Dark Bell returned to where they should be.
