Chapter 197 Christina Confronts Miranda

Christina could tell Miranda was really mad when she saw the latter’s face turn bright red,

She kept her feelings of glee suppressed and maintained a calm expression as she continued, “The fact that my father was able to kick you out back then shows that you’re not that important to him. When my mother was sick and had to be treated in the hospital, my father looked after her and fed her oatmeal. Has he ever treated you that well?”

Christina even showed Miranda a picture she took the other day just to prove her point.

Miranda was clenching her fists so tightly that she crumpled up the handkerchief in her hands.

This b*tch is actually right! I never did receive such treatment from Gideon! He’s spoiled because he always had someone around to serve him, so it is unlikely that he would feed another woman oatmeal! Even so, he did it for Sharon! He never looked after me whenever I was sick! All he did was drink and philander his nights away!

A huge wave of jealousy surged through Miranda, and she hurled the dress at Christina in a fit of rage. “Get lost, you b*tch! You and your mother are unworthy of the Steele family’s fortune!”

Christina knew she had achieved her goal when she saw Miranda lose her temper.

“Why would we care about the Steele family’s money when its prized possession is already in my hands?” she said with a disdainful sneer and strutted out of the Steele residence.

Miranda’s expression grew incredibly vicious after being taunted and provoked like that.

She needed a way to vent all of that anger and frustration.

mother’s

Having realized how little the pretty dresses were worth in comparison to the emerald pendant, Miranda tossed the dress aside, stormed out of the house, and had her driver prepare the car.

About half an hour later, Miranda arrived at an old psychiatric hospital.

Sharon, who was curled up in a corner, got so scared that she trembled all over when the door to her room. opened.

She had been locked up in there for seven days. Those people hurt her during the first few days and kept giving her injections later on.

Whenever Sharon felt sleepy and began to forget who she was, she would recite Christina’s name in an attempt to jog her memory.

She feared that she would someday wake up and not even remember her own daughter’s name.

“Give me the emerald pendant, Sharon!” Miranda yelled as she walked up to her and slapped her across

the face.

A woman like Sharon does not deserve such an expensive emerald pendant!

Sharon’s face turned red from the slap, and the wound looked all the more obvious on her pale skin.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” All she got from the Steele family when she left was an old condominium unit.

Naturally, Miranda assumed she was lying because she didn’t want to hand over something so valuable.

She then had two nurses hold Sharon still while she slapped her repeatedly across the cheek.

Sharon’s face was bleeding after about a dozen slaps, and she had passed out from the pain.

Still unsatisfied, Miranda had the nurses wake Sharon up with icy–cold water.

Sharon shuddered the moment the cold water hit her, and she was starting to break down mentally from the abuse.

She felt really dizzy, and her memories were slowly fading away like sand in an hourglass.

“I want Christina! Give her back to me…”

Miranda snickered as she stared at Sharon, who was starting to lose her sanity from the torture.

Knowing that Sharon was concerned about Christina instead of the Steele family’s fortune helped quell, her anger a little.

“Christina isn’t even your daughter! She has nothing to do with the Steele family! You sure are shameless for wanting someone else’s daughter as your own!”

Sharon shook her head and screamed at the top of her lungs, “No! Christina is my daughter! She’s my daughter!”

Feeling dissatisfied that her question regarding the emerald pendant’s whereabouts was still unanswered, Miranda grabbed a vase and smashed it against Sharon’s head.

However, she used too much force and ended up knocking Sharon unconscious again.

The nurses grew a little worried when they saw that. “How about we stop this here? At this rate, she could very well end up dead!”

They were fine with holding Sharon prisoner, but they didn’t want to kill her.

Fine! If I can’t get my answers today, then I’ll just keep coming back until she tells me what I want to know! Let’s see how long Sharon can keep that little secret of hers…

With that in mind, Miranda let out a disdainful snort and let go of Sharon.

“Don’t do anything rash, Christina.” Francis wanted to find out what was going on inside before taking action, but Christina refused to listen.

She opened the car door and ran straight into the psychiatric hospital.

After calling the police, Francis was about to head inside as well when a few black sedans pulled up outside the entrance.

A group of bodyguards then came out of those cars and charged into the building.

Francis was surprised when he recognized Nathaniel’s license plate. What? Nathaniel? How did he find this place so quickly?

After hesitating for a bit, he told the driver, “Take us back to the set.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, Christina had rushed into the office and looked up the patient records. After finding out that her mother was being held in a solitary ward on the ninth floor, she quickly rode the elevator upstairs.

She was greeted by a dark and gloomy sight when the elevator doors opened. Screams and cries from the patients echoed throughout the hallway.

After making her way toward the ward where her mother was locked up, Christina was about to reach for the doorknob when someone opened it from the inside.

“Christina?” Miranda exclaimed in shock.

She was not expecting to see Christina there at all.

“Where is my mother?” Christina asked coldly while shoving her inside.

She then saw Sharon lying unconscious on the floor before Miranda could say anything in response.

Her mother’s clothes were drenched, and her skinny face was all bloody and swollen up. It was truly a horrific sight to behold.

“Mom!” Christina cried out angrily.

Her heart felt like it was being stabbed with a sharp knife when she saw her mother injured and shivering in a puddle of water.

This is all my fault! I’m sorry for letting you suffer like this…

Christina’s tears kept flowing as rage filled her bloodshot eyes.

She then grabbed a scalpel from the table next to her and began making her way toward Miranda menacingly. “I’ve done as you asked. You promised you wouldn’t hurt my mother! You f*cking liar! I’ll kill you!”

The look on Miranda’s face changed instantly. It was the first time she had seen Christina

The younger woman looked like a vengeful spirit that had come to claim her soul.

that angry.

“I–It wasn’t me who hit her! It was the nurses! I only came here to rescue her!” Miranda stammered as her legs gave out beneath her.

She was willing to tell any lie in order to save herself.

The nurses were just as terrified when they saw the scalpel in Christina’s hand. “No, it wasn’t us! She was the one who hit her!”

“That’s right! She had us hold the patient still while she beat her up! The patient kept mumbling the name ‘Christina‘ before she passed out!”

Christina became even angrier when she heard that. The flames of anger in her eyes burned brightly as she stepped forward and grabbed Miranda by the hair.

“Tell me what you’ve done to my mother!” she screamed while cutting Miranda’s hair with the scalpel.

Miranda was scared out of her wits at that point. Had she known Christina would show up like this, she wouldn’t have beaten Sharon up so badly.
