A blinding bolt of lightning illuminated the suburban lumberyard. Fu Beixi let out a hysterical wail, the desolation in her voice not even drowned out by the deafening thunder.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Miko dropped the poisoned knife nonchalantly, tucking away the warm human skin. "Scream all you want, no one will come to save you. From now on, I'll be the one living your life using your face, claiming everything that was once yours, including Gu Sheng. I will make everyone understand that I am the true Queen of Shadows."
"Miko, I swear, you won't find peace even in death!"
Fu Beixi shook with rage, struggling with all her might, trying to strangle the venomous woman before her.
Her face was brutally torn off her!
The excruciating pain from the flesh and blood being severed from bone - is unforgettable!
However helpless, she was tied to a marble pillar.
"Next life? Haven't you lived a triumphant life in this one, only to fall under my hand?"
Miko laughed triumphantly, throwing a bucket of paint over Fu Beixi's body.
Fu Beixi let out another painful roar, then glared at Miko, her lips trembling.
"Did you ever consider that my grandfather’s people would come looking for me when you staged Gu Sheng's kidnapping to dupe me into coming here?"
She truly believed that her fiance had been kidnapped, begging the kidnappers to let Gu Sheng go in exchange for herself as the hostage!
She was even force-fed a heavy dose of drugs that left her powerless to resist!
What a colossal fool she was!
"You dared to defy Master Fu's objections and insisted on marrying me, even causing him to get heart disease from spite. Do you think he'd still care about your life or death?"
Another maniacally ruthless voice rang out, simultaneously slapping Fu Beixi's face, which was now a bloody pulp.
"Fu Beixi, do you realize how long I've tolerated you? You're more talented and wealthier than me. After you won Best Actress, people said I was just your trophy husband! I can't bear the disdain in people's eyes! You deserve to die!"
Fu Beixi's eyes rolled back in pain, but she didn't lose consciousness.
She was clearer-headed than ever before.
The person hitting her was Gu Shengdong.
Three years ago, this calculating snake of a man appeared in her life, maintained his loving boyfriend persona, and followed her into the entertainment industry.
She even foolishly introduced him to many resources within the industry, completely disregarding the forceful objections of friends and family, and even handed her company over to him for management.
It wasn't until the company went bankrupt did she find out that Gu Shengdong and Mi Ke had been plotting behind her back, planning to take away all she had!
Her grandmother and aunt were dependent on her for medical treatment and living expenses!
Her grandfather, she hadn't had the chance to reconcile with him yet, to tell him the truth about her parents' death!
Fu Beixi's face was covered with sticky gasoline, her eyes blurred by the startling amount of blood flowing from her wounds.
"You... all of you... will meet a terrible end..."
Fu Beixi, you can't be this stupid in your next life!
Mi Ke, looking into her raging eyes, was so scared that she immediately clung to Gu Shengdong: "Darling, let's get this done quickly. She looks so ugly and scary right now!"
"Don't worry, she's tied up and can't run away. With this amount of wood and gasoline, she's bound to die! There are no ghosts in this world!"
Gu Sheng pulled out a lighter, aimed at Fu Beixi's hair, like a devil from hell.
"Fu Beixi, rest assured and leave. Miko will be by my side with your face, and I can still maintain the image of a loyal boyfriend. As long as you die, no one can know the truth."
Fu Beixi felt pain to the point of hearing ringing in her ears, but didn't shed a single tear.
Can anyone come and save me…
She heard the snap of the lighter, and the hair beside her ear was instantly ignited.
Followed by the crackling sound, bringing the severe pain of intense fire scorching her skin.
She opened her mouth in horror, but couldn't make a sound!
She wouldn't accept this!
"So, you resent me, don't you?"
Miko held Gu Sheng's arm and walked away with a sneer.
"Fu Beixi, before you die, let me tell you one thing. The person who saved you from the car accident at the cliff has never been Gu Sheng! Instead, it was..."
