I want you to bring that heartless person here. I want her to repent in front of me. I want revenge, to make her feel the pain I once endured. Only then will I release your son!"

"That's impossible, " Lilah said firmly." I'll do anything else you ask, but not that."

"Fine, then I'll drag your son into a world of pain. He's so young and fragile; how can you bear it?" Lila's voice was filled with a sinister threat.

"Wait!"

Lilah, nearly frantic, suddenly thought of an idea.

"Hold on, I'll call our matriarch, she said, quickly dialing a number on her phone and speaking hurriedly.

Half an hour later, Gerard arrived in a black SUV.

He got out first, his handsome face instantly turning cold and grim at the shocking scene before him.

Lilah joined him, helping an elderly woman out of the passenger seat.

The moment Lila saw the old woman, her eyes filled with terrifying hatred, barely able to contain herself from lunging forward.

"Brenda, long time no see, " Lila sneered, her voice icy.

Brenda was taken aback, her brows furrowing as she spoke in a trembling voice, "Don't do this, don't hurt the child. Direct it at me, please don't... "

Lila was delighted by Brenda's expression, her smile twisted and sinister.

"Yes, you deserve this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state. I want you to pay for your mistakes. I want you to never find peace!"

Lila suddenly grabbed Jerrold by the neck, not too tightly, but his face turned pale.

"Grandma, save me... he cried, his voice pitiful like a kitten.

Tears welled in Brenda's blurry eyes. "Don't do this, please don't harm the child. I'll do anything you want, just don't hurt him. What has he done wrong?"

"Hahaha... " Lila laughed maniacally, like a crazed lunatic.

"What did I do wrong? Why did you abandon me?"

Brenda was speechless, clutching the hem of her clothes, unsure what to do.

Lila continued her every word as a bitter accusation, dripping with malice that chilled everyone.

Finally, she said eerily, "I want you to kneel and apologize."

Kneel?

Lilah frowned; this was too much.
