CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: A LIFE FOR A LIFE

"But you never told me, Seraphina Redgrave is your sister."

Leo Lynch spoke, his voice already trembling.

Mia Redgrave told him that Seraphina Redgrave was her best friend.

She said she had no siblings.

She also said she was as sad as he was.

Just how much did she deceive him?

"I..."

Mia Redgrave wanted to fabricate another excuse, but right now she was too chaotic, having told far too many lies to know what to say next without exposing them.

What to do now?

Mia Redgrave looked at Lena Lynch, casting a look for help. Lena, squatting on the ground, spoke mournfully: "Leo, later the aunties will explain it all to you, Seraphina Redgrave wants to kill us now! Even if you don’t care about me and Mona, you have to care about your granny, right?"

"I want an explanation right now!"

Leo Lynch’s eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly started to roar.

Everyone was stunned.

Seraphina Redgrave looked at his expression and put down her dagger. She initially thought Leo Lynch had long been subdued by Mia Redgrave, following her every command.

Mia Redgrave sat on the ground, her wedding dress in disarray.

Leo Lynch rushed over and grabbed Mia Redgrave’s arm, yanking her up and looking at her fiercely: "Three years ago, after you called me, Seraphina Redgrave disappeared, it was the Redgrave Family that did it!"

Mia Redgrave’s shoulder, gripped by Leo Lynch, hurt immensely as she looked at him getting this furious with her for the first time: "You’re being harsh to me because of Seraphina Redgrave?"

"Speak up!"

Leo Lynch nearly screamed.

He collapsed, realizing that his own gullibility and misplaced trust led to Seraphina Redgrave being sent to a forbidden zone.

"No! I didn’t!" Mia Redgrave cried out, "Seraphina Redgrave said that nonsense to drive a wedge between us! And now you’re questioning me because of her lies!"

"Then tell me why, after that call, Seraphina Redgrave disappeared? Tell me why you never told me these years that Seraphina Redgrave was your sister? Speak!"

Leo Lynch finally completely broke down.

Mia Redgrave looked at Leo Lynch, understanding everything as she gave a bitter smile: "I know, Leo, these days, you’ve never trusted me, it’s because you never cared about me. Now that you know about Seraphina Redgrave’s past, you’re scared. Three years have passed, and you still like her."

Leo Lynch never truly loved her, which is why, when rumors spread outside, he never took them seriously.

Hearing this, Leo Lynch’s movements paused, gripping her wrist firmly: "Answer my question!"

"I don’t have time for you to chat idly."

Seraphina Redgrave spoke coldly, walking to Leo Lynch, looking him in the eye: "Well, are you still choosing to protect them?"

"What do you want to do with them?"

Leo Lynch suddenly remembered that Seraphina Redgrave showed up here to take Mia Redgrave and Lena Lynch away.

She had already sent Jonathan Redgrave to prison, why would she still want to go all out against Mia Redgrave and Lena Lynch?

"Did she kill Nanny Lynch? Murderers must pay with their lives!"

Granny Coleman held Nanny Lynch’s portrait, glaring angrily at Lena Lynch.

Nanny Lynch?

Leo Lynch let go of Mia Redgrave, looking at the portrait in Granny Coleman’s hands. Could there really be a body in the coffin? Did Mia Redgrave and Lena Lynch truly commit murder?

Just the thought made him tremble with fear, forcing him to step back.

What was going on?

Watching Leo Lynch back away, Seraphina Redgrave curled her lips, her icy gaze fixed on the collapsed Mia Redgrave and Lena Lynch, twirling the dagger in her hand: "Have you decided? Who dies first?"

Seraphina Redgrave, dressed in black, resembled a soul hooker from hell. Her usually innocent and pretty face became vicious, like a starving ghost crawling out from hell.

"Mom..."

Mia Redgrave was so frightened her heart almost stopped, burrowing into Lena Lynch’s arms. She knew Seraphina Redgrave was now a ruthless killer who wouldn’t hesitate to murder, so she could only look at nearby Leo Lynch, choking with tears: "Do you really believe her words are true and want to hand me over to her?"

Leo Lynch stood there, brainstorming, torn between Seraphina Redgrave’s revelation of the past truth which he couldn’t digest and the sight of the coffin frightening him.

Amid the anxious thought process, Leo Lynch ended up saying nothing.

Seraphina Redgrave, holding the dagger, walked to Mia Redgrave, Lena Lynch immediately shielded Mia Redgrave, looking at Seraphina Redgrave with a tear-streaked, sorrowful face: "Seraphina, I was wrong this time, forgive me once, just this once, I promise, I won’t bother you again."

Even though there were surveillance cameras near the scene of the accident, the car had nothing to do with her, and she was wearing a hat and mask. As long as Seraphina let them go, she wouldn’t face any consequences.

"Just one last time?"

Seraphina Redgrave seemed amused, picking Lena Lynch up and pressing her in front of the coffin.

The huge coffin on the ground had beautiful and expensive carvings, only upon closer inspection could the body be seen lying serenely amidst a bed of roses under the crystal.

Yet no matter how serene, it was still a pale corpse, causing Lena Lynch to tremble with fear, turning her face away, shivering.

Seraphina Redgrave wouldn’t easily let her go, forcefully pressing her face onto the coffin, making her look at the corpse within: "But Nanny Lynch will never come back, how can there be a next time?"

"Seraphina, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I just..."

Lena Lynch, her face wet with tears, uttered in a trembling voice.

"Just accidentally made a mistake?" Seraphina Redgrave coldly retorted, "But Nanny Lynch is already dead!"

"I offered her money... gave her family money... the Redgrave Family! I’ll give the Redgrave Family to her family."

Lena Lynch knew the Lynch Family was no longer reliable, so she had to surrender to Seraphina Redgrave, hoping for her mercy again, like in the past.

"No need, I only accept a life for a life."

Seraphina Redgrave spoke slowly, pressing Lena Lynch to the ground, the dagger to her throat, devoid of any past emotion: "Lena Lynch, I’ve never personally taken the life of someone from the Redgrave Family, but you’ve crossed my line."

With that, Seraphina Redgrave prepared to slit her throat.

"Mom!"

Mia Redgrave, just having struggled to her feet, seeing the dagger at Lena Lynch’s throat, her legs gave out, almost collapsing again.

"Seraphina Redgrave!"

Leo Lynch was also stunned, could she really be serious?

"Miss!"

Granny Coleman, holding the portrait, looked worriedly at Seraphina Redgrave.

Miss, is she really not hurting? She was heartbroken more than anyone.

But she was still just a young girl, how could she carry such a burden?

The onlookers were terrified to death, and Lena Lynch, the one kneeling before the coffin with a dagger pointed at her, didn’t dare to breathe, unable to move, repeatedly apologizing: "Mona, I’m your mother! I held you when you were little until you grew up, you..."
