Chapter 1269

“So, what happened?” Sonia frowned.

Cynthia shook her head. “They wanted her dead. To them, that woman was nothing but a liability. A big one at that. They’d never be able to live normally with her dragging them down. They had to work all day and every day just to make enough money to pay her medical bills. Eventually, their love was worn out by their exhaustion. All they wanted was to cut her off. Melody and Tina offered them just what they wanted. And they made money out of it.”

Cynthia wasn’t a good person at all, but even she thought what the woman’s family did was inhumane. She had nothing but disgust for them. “They probably thought they deserved the money after all they went through for her.”

Sonia gasped, a cold shudder running down her spine. “That’s… terrifying. I can’t believe her family would do this.”

“Family? No, they’re demons,” Cynthia remarked.

Sonia closed her eyes. “Were they not aware that Melody would kill their daughter once they handed her over?”

“No, they knew that. But I did tell you that they thought of that woman as nothing but a burden. A liability. Something that holds them back from normalcy. The thing that keeps them in debt. They were willing to fork out money for her treatment at first, but eventually, they wanted nothing to do with her. Time changed them. They wanted her dead but wouldn’t do it since she was family. And the law would come after them if they did. When Melody offered them a hundred and fifty grand to relieve them of the woman, they happily took the offer. They knew the woman would die, but so what?” Cynthia shrugged.
