Chapter 187 Terror

Susanne fixed a steady gaze on Arielle. “Focus on living the best life now that you’re back. Stop meddling with the dark shadows of the past! Sometimes ignorance is bliss. So what if you manage to find out the truth? You can’t bring your mother back to life.”

Susanne softened her tone. “If she were watching you from heaven right now, she’d want you to live a good life too.”

Arielle shook her head vehemently. “The only reason I came back here was to seek revenge for my mother. If I can’t even do that for her, what’s the point in coming back?”
