What kind of madness must a person have to possess such a mindset?

Mad, Aurelia Shaw is a madwoman, she's gone crazy...

Jovana Shaw kept repeating this thought in her mind, Aurelia is a madwoman. If she weren't mentally ill, if she weren't insane, why would she tie her up and bring her to the graveyard in the middle of the night?

What does she want to do to her?

For someone like her, who doesn't even bat an eye at murder, what can still restrain her?

Jovana felt hopeless, the hope in her eyes shattering bit by bit, leaving only a trace of struggle deep within her eyes.

Aurelia watched as the light in Jovana's eyes dimmed little by little, her lips curled into a silent smile, "I've never provoked you, why do you come to provoke me?"

"A woman kept by others, moving in with her illegitimate child, have I ever said anything? Treated you like my own sister, your mother was never mistreated when working as a servant, so why are you trying to kill me?"

"All these years, you've treated me like a worthless person, I've become the worthless person you wished for, so why do you still provoke me, hmm?"

Fear filled Jovana's eyes, yet Aurelia's gaze remained indifferent, as calm and unemotional as ever.

"Why do some people have a death wish?"

Her voice was so low that Jovana could barely hear what she was saying.

Suddenly, Aurelia stood up, grabbed Jovana's hair, and dragged her into an empty grave next to them. Her gaze was cold, lips red and alluring, without a hint of hesitation, she threw her in.

Jovana's face was cut by a stone.

Aurelia looked at her condescendingly from above, "When you do something wrong, you must accept punishment. If little sister misbehaves, big sister must teach her a lesson to remember the family rules."

She paused for a moment, her voice deep and cold, "Reflect here quietly for a few days, sister will come to see you some other day."

Turning to leave, she suddenly remembered something and came back, her smile eerie.

"Little Ru, be obedient, no screaming or shouting." Though she had done something to her tongue and she couldn't make a sound for now, "Bad children must be punished."

Jovana's body trembled, even though she couldn't see Aurelia's gaze clearly, the cold pressure pierced into her bones.

The surroundings were so dark she couldn't see clearly, she tried her best not to think about what kind of place this was, but the more she resisted, the more her mind reminded her—this was a graveyard, a place for the dead, surrounded by many dead.

The stone slab was icy cold, piercing her bones, the chilling sensation creeping up her calves, penetrating her limbs, the cold making her scalp tingle, her lips tremble, and her throat producing constant wailing pleas, but no sound came out.

She could only watch as the cold and arrogant figure above her left, even the last trace of light blocked.

In the darkness, Jovana's pupils dilated dramatically, the feeling of despair and helplessness slowly consuming her consciousness.

...

"I'm sorry." Aurelia kissed the tombstone, her gaze gentle, "Please bear with it for a while, I know you're soft-hearted and can't stand this, but she did wrong and must be punished. Let her stay by your grave for a few days to make amends."

"In a few days, I'll have someone come to repair your tombstone, today I'm heading back, goodbye."

Aurelia drove away from the graveyard.

She wasn't worried something would happen to Jovana, she'd been drugged, her limbs temporarily paralyzed, unable to make a sound, no one would find her there.
