Thea laughed even louder and said, "You're so good at this! I'll wait for your good news then! After she dies, we'll get married at once. I'll be the evil stepmother. Just thinking about it is so exciting!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but tremble all over. I quickly ran back to my own bedroom and hid under the blanket, sobbing incessantly.
However, the overwhelming fear made me forget to be quiet when I ran away. Soon, my bedroom door was forcefully kicked open by Jack.
"You damn girl! How dare you eavesdrop! You're doomed!" He viciously dragged me out of the blanket, while Thea cheered him on from the side.
His hands were like burning tongs, tightly gripping my neck. A scorching sensation of suffocation quickly enveloped me.
In the next moment, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Elsie came home.
Thea's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly opened the window and jumped out.
Seeing that, Jack released his tight grip. He glared at me with resentment and threatened me word by word, "You damn girl. If you dare to say a word to Elsie about today, I'll kill you both!"
I nodded repeatedly in fear.
Then it was the day they threw me away.
