Chapter 21 In just half a month, Bethany had completely transformed into a shadow of her former self-neither human nor ghost, her hair disheveled, her body gaunt, and her mind seemingly unhinged. The moment she saw Spencer, she rushed toward him, crying, "Spency, I was wrong, I really was wrong! Please let me out, I can't take it anymore, I'm begging you, let me out!" When Bethany saw Hannah, she let out an even louder scream. "A ghost!" "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Hannah looked at her and sneered, "Surprised? That I'm not dead?" Bethany was so terrified she lost her grip on reality, shaking her head desperately. "Impossible! I made sure someone hit you hard enough to kill you. How could you still be alive? You were supposed to die!" "I know, this must be a hallucination. I'm seeing things. Hannah is dead, dead for sure." Hearing this, Spencer clenched his fists so tightly that it took all his self-control not to rush over and strangle Bethany. He looked at Hannah and said, "She arranged for someone to hit you. How she should be dealt with is up to you." Hannah looked at him in silence. She understood that this was Spencer's way of showing goodwill toward her. And this gesture was one she could not refuse. Taking two steps forward, Hannah spoke to the woman on the ground: "Enough, stop pretending." She knew that someone like Bethany could never go mad so easily. Sure enough, after hearing Hannah's words, Bethany's crazed look turned into one of hatred as she glared fiercely at Hannah. "I should've been even more ruthless and crushed you to pieces!" "Don't think you've won just because you're alive. I gave the Ruiz family a great-grandson, I have a son! As long as my son is here, you'll never take my place!" Hannah raised her hand and slapped Bethany hard across the face. By now, all Bethany could do in front of Hannah was spit out threats. 0.0 % 09:18 Chapter 21 tr 288 Vouchers Unfortunately, Hannah had no interest in trading insults. She said coldly, "Since you care so much about your son, then you can go and leave the child behind." "After all, having a mother like you is his misfortune." As soon as Hannah finished speaking, Bethany panicked. "What nonsense are you talking about? Leave the child behind? My child can't be without me! I want to see Madam Ruiz! You can't treat me like this!" Bethany kept screaming, but the bodyguards had already locked her up again. The heavy door closed, shutting out all sound. But Hannah could imagine Bethany on the other side of the door, pounding it in fury, howling and shrieking. All her life, Bethany had dreamed of gaining status through her child, believing that giving birth would secure her place as the wife of a wealthy family. Since that was her dream, Hannah would shatter it. As they walked out of the basement, Spencer looked at her and said, "If you want, I can have Beth's child registered under your name." "Consider it her compensation to you." Hannah heard this and laughed. "And what about you? How will you compensate me?" Spencer gazed at her and replied without hesitation, "Whatever you ask for, even if it's my life, I'll give it to you." Hannah was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Then pick nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for me." "I picked them for you once. This time, you pick them for me. How about it?" Spencer breathed a sigh of relief and asked in disbelief, "That's all you want?" Hannah smiled and nodded. "Yes, this is the second test." 54.6 % 09:18
