A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 227

Chapter 227 She's Toast

Sandra said in a trembling voice, "Avery, don't forget that I am your stepmother. If you want to do anything to me, your father will never allow it.

"Even if you tell others about how I hurt Reina, the person who really did those things was Katrina. I only had a conversation with her. I'm innocent."

Sandra knew that at this time, there was no point in begging Avery to let her go. She did not have that secret as a bargaining chip. How could Avery let her go so easily?

She racked her brain as she tried to find a way to escape from being punished. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Seeing that Avery was silent, she continued, "As for the words that I told Katrina, I didn't mean them.

"Moreover, I was wearing a mask in the surveillance video. I know you recorded the conversation between me and Katrina that night. Maybe your recording was fake. Avery, your father will definitely protect me. Are you sure you want to let your father hate you?"

Avery glanced at her from the rearview mirror and laughed softly, "You are toast. But you still defend yourself. You really impress me. There will be plenty of time for you to talk. There is no need to say it now."

Cold sweat had already appeared on Sandra's forehead. She had no idea where Avery was going to take her right now. She was also not sure how much evidence Avery had in his hands.

She clenched her fists tightly and tried to persuade him. She then slowed down her tone, "You got me wrong. It's not my fault that Darlene knew Nathen donated his heart. I swear I didn't tell her.

"Oh, right, it must be Vivian. Avery, didn't you send people to investigate? The things that Vivian had done to Darlene were truly outrageous.

"Why don't I let you deal with her? Killing her is much better than killing me, right?"

Avery became a little interested. He had always wanted to find Vivian.

However, he had been looking for her for a long time. But because Vivian's face had been completely disfigured, even her hands had been seriously scalded, there was no way to find her fingerprints. It was too difficult to find her.

He answered, "I'll consider it. If you send her to me now, maybe you can save your life."

Even if Vivian showed up, Avery would not let Sandra go.

Sandra grabbed onto her last life-saving straw. At this time, how could she remember to weigh the pros and cons? She was in a hurry to give Vivian to Avery and save her life.

Avery signaled a bodyguard who was guarding Sandra in the back seat. The bodyguard untied one of Sandra's hands and gave her a phone.

Sandra made a call with trembling hands. She had trapped Vivian in a villa in the suburbs, and she called Jax.

Jax quickly picked up the phone, and Jax's uneasy voice came over, "Sandra, Vivian ran away."

Sandra's entire body almost collapsed. Her voice was hoarse and angry, "You good-for-nothing. Didn't I warn you to watch Vivian carefully? She is not allowed to go out!"

Now Vivian was at the end of the road. She would think that Jax loved her, and Jax could help her.

Şandra knew that, so she especially sent Jax over to watch Vivian and comfort her, so that Vivian could calm down and stay there obediently.

Jax hesitated, but he told the truth eventually, "I drank a bit of wine yesterday morning, so I made a mistake and got her on the bed.

"But taking off the mask on her face, it was the first time I saw her face. It's so disgusting. The scars were really disgusting.

"I vomited on the bed. I couldn't see that face directly, so I locked the bedroom door and went to Twilight Paradise. But when I came back in the early morning, I found she run out..."

Sandra's face was deathly pale. She could only bite the bullet and lie. She bamboozled Avery, "Since you've found her, it's fine. Bring her directly to the hospital where Avery stays. That's right. Come over now. Be careful on the way."

On the other hand, Jax was confused. He thought that his sister had not heard him clearly. He wanted to explain again that Vivian was missing.

However, Sandra hung up the phone and tried her best to squeeze out a smile with a fawning expression. She looked at Avery in front of her. "Don't worry.

She's on her way."

The bodyguard next looked at Sandra sarcastically and then gestured to her. "Do you need me to remind you that I heard everything you said on the phone and recorded it?"

Only then did Sandra notice that the bodyguard was wearing headphones. The phone he had just given Sandra had been monitored.

The bodyguard looked at Avery who was in front. "Sir, Jax said that Vivian had already run away. She can't be here."

Sandra was desperate. The last trace of hope was completely shattered. Her entire vision went black. She was unable to say anything.

Avery did not hesitate anymore and directly brought Sandra to the hospital.

In the hospital lounge, Alicia, Martin, Cassius, and even Andrew and Owen, as well as other members of the Gallard family, had all come over.

Sandra had already lost her mind. After she was dragged into the lounge by Avery's bodyguards, she looked at the people in the room and then looked at Erick for help.

However, Erick did not dare to care about her at this time. He was afraid that other people would notice he had an affair with Sandra.

He glared at Sandra in disgust and quickly turned his head away.

Sandra trembled as she walked inside. Alicia, who was closest to the door, was the first to get up and slap her face.

"Like I said, even if Katrina wanted to hurt others, she would not have the guts to do so. She would not have been so meticulous and tampered with the results of my granddaughter's DNA test. So it was you who instigated Katrina to do it."

"Owen, save me." Sandra's face was red and swollen from the slap, and she walked towards Owen in a sorry state.

"I was framed. I don't know what Avery said and why he did that to me.

"You know, I am not that kind of bad person. I beg you, for the sake of the fact that we've been married for so many years, please speak up for me."
