Chapter 189

---- Chapter 189 However, Giselle remained shockingly cold. She even walked over to Anne's car window, leaned in with a mocking smile, and asked loudly through the glass, "Thirsty? Anne nodded desperately. Her expression was filled with pain and regret. "Please... Give me water... Water..." But the next second, Giselle cruelly poured the water out right in front of her and tossed the empty bottle aside. "You..." Panic and despair overwhelmed Anne.

Her throat felt like it was on fire, and she was suffocating. The heat was unbearable, as if she were being tied over open flames. Seeing her in such agony, Giselle only sneered mockingly. "You locked me in the cold storage room last night, while I locked you in an oven today. I'm just balancing things out between cold and heat. Sound fair?" Giselle said through the window. Anne continued to cry while shaking her head repeatedly.

As Anne nearly fainted , Giselle turned away and calmly got back into her own car. She turned on the air-conditioning and watched Anne from behind her shaded windshield. Giselle knew exactly how cruel this was. But then she remembered almost drowning in the river, nearly getting ---- crushed under a truck after being shoved, and being locked in a cold storage room last night, almost freezing to death. She had been dragged to death's door again and again.

But Anne had always managed to slip through the cracks of the law repeatedly. Giselle believed the only fitting response was to fight violence with violence. She wanted to give Anne a taste of her own medicine. Right now, the only justice that made sense was making her feel the pain of facing death. If Anne could ignore their blood ties, abandon all humanity, and repeatedly try to destroy her, Giselle saw no reason to show mercy.

Therefore, she sat calmly in her car, unfazed and without regret , watching the scene like she was admiring her work. About ten minutes later, when the time she had set arrived and Anne appeared unconscious in the car, Giselle got out and walked over. She stood by the window and observed for a while. Only then did she finally hit the unlock button and open the car door. She reinserted the key into the ignition, started the engine, and turned on the air-conditioning at full blast.

She checked Anne's breathing and confirmed that she was just severely overheated. ---- Giselle grabbed a bottle of cold water and poured it directly over Anne's face. Then, she poured another bottle. The water trickled into Anne's cracked lips, down her neck, and soaked her clothes. Giselle only left her alive because she didn't have the kind of background that could cleanly cover up a murder. She figured spending the rest of her life in prison wasn't worth it. Once she was sure Anne would survive, she took Anne's phone, snapped a picture of her condition, and sent it to Renee through her WhatsApp.
