The Woman From Hell
Chapter 908

Chapter 908

"Just grit your teeth and it'll be over soon." Mason cast his gaze to the ground. "What's this paincompared to death?"

I pursed my lips and asked faintly, "Who is this 'she' you speak of?"

If he wanted me to cut my face, I had to at least know who this debt belonged to.

"Samantha Grant." Mason looked at me with scarlet eyes. "She was only 18 when she left. It was abeautiful age. You're 30 now. Having your face disfigured now i s a light punishment."

I sneered. "What's her relationship with Theo?"

Mason squeezed his eyes shut, and there was a sorrowful look on his face. "I can't believe youdon't know this. Looks like everyone in the Grants has forgotten about her. I'll never forget her or thescene of her jumping into the river."

After a pause, he continued, "She was a child the Grants adopted. She was considered Theo'scousin. Logically speaking, I should be settling this debt with Theo, but no matter what I do, itseems to not hurt him at all. I have no choice but to inflict it on you because only you can cause himpain."

"That's ridiculous!"

I could not believe that an outstanding man like him could be this selfish and scary.

"Ridiculous, you say?"

Mason sneered. "Since he caused me to lose someone important, I'll do the same to him. Isn’t thatvery fair? Besides, I'm kind enough to not claim your life. I'll just disfigure you."

Heidi once told me that there was a grudge between Theo and Mason. I then later heard rumorsthat it probably had something to do with a woman.

However, I had no idea what exactly happened between them.

Was it not absurd that Mason was using me as a tool t o get back at Theo?

Mason looked at me with sorrow and complicated emotions in his eyes. "Sometimes, I think you andher are really similar. I can see her shadow in you. You have the same kindness, so I was actuallysincere about helping you get away from Theo. If you had just left him back then, all of this wouldn'tbe happening now."

I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.

He seemed uninterested to hear my response and continued to look compassionately at me,saying, "Had you left Theo at the time, your life wouldn't have been the same. I wouldn't have metCecilia, much less hurt

you."

After a pause, he continued with a vicious aura, saying, "Theo has hurt so many people. Don't youthink he deserves to die? He'll always control the people around him under the pretense of love. Nomatter how much you hate him or resist him, he'll sanctimoniously promise to be good to you anddo things that he thinks are good for you. Yet in reality, he's constantly hurting you.

I frowned. "You're too radical.”

"I'm too radical?”

Mason laughed in anger. "Did I say anything wrong? Theo has done so many hurtful things to youbut says that he loves you. You hate him but have no way of retaliating against him, so you willingly

hold back the pain and dilemma in your heart in order to stay by his side. I’m the same. He hasindirectly caused me to lose the person I loved the most and put me through hell, but he was alsothe one who pulled me out of hell. I hate him but can't ruthlessly retaliate against him. Who exactlyshould I blame?"

What made us human was simply the fact that we had feelings and desires. However, whenfeelings and desires were combined, it would make us an extremely complicated person.

I looked at him, unsure if I pitied him or felt sorry for him. I simply said, "So, you want him to feelpain through me?”

He smiled. "That's right.”

I cast my eyes down at the dagger on the floor. "If I die, you'll inevitably turn against each other.”

"I know that." There was a sorrowful look on Mason's face. "That's the best way. When we becomeenemies i n the future, we won't have to worry so much anymore. Neither of us will feel guilty.Neither one of u s has to bury our wounds in our hearts.”

Love and hate were distinctly separate. It was easier said than done. How could it be that simple?

I picked up the dagger from the ground and mildly said, "Can you guarantee that Munchkin will growup unharmed?"

I was afraid it would be difficult for me to raise Munchkin in the future if this dagger came down on me.

He nodded with a calm look on his face. "Of course. He's my son. I'll take good care of him and givehim all my love and care."
