Sylvia’s POV
I straightened up and peered intently into the crystal ball, fearing I might miss something.
After days and nights of speculation, I could finally get the truth about what had happened that day. But much to my disappointment, I couldn’t hear any sound from the crystal ball and could only see the pictures.
The argument between Leonard and Alina went on for quite some time. Leonard seemed to want to call someone in, but no one came in.
Alina, on the other hand, began to behave strangely. She no longer respected Leonard like before and even forced him to drink the soup.
I could see that Leonard didn’t want to drink that bowl of soup.
Seeing this, Rufus and I exchanged meaningful glances, both feeling that something wasn’t right.
In the pictures, Alina was cleaning up the shattered shards of the bowl in silence. Leonard seemed to feel bad as he kept staring at Alina’s back. It looked like he wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.
I understood Leonard’s stubborn character. He probably felt too ashamed to apologize.
I held Rufus’ hands tightly and stared at the crystal ball without blinking.
After a while, disagreement rose again between Leonard and Alina. Shocked and in disbelief, Leonard trembled and staggered back.
I was intrigued about what Alina said to get Leonard so worked up.
But Alina stood with her back against Leonard.
Suddenly, the images turned dark. A familiar plume of black smoke sprang up behind Leonard.
“Noreen!” I blurted out the name without a second thought.
Sure enough, after a while, Noreen appeared holding a corpse, and it turned out to be Alina’s fiance Chet!
My eyes widened while my mouth was agape in disbelief. It looked like Noreen had killed Chet long before Leonard died. If that was really the case, Chet couldn’t have possibly been manipulated by witchcraft to kill Leonard like Alina had claimed!
I couldn’t help trembling. The closer I was to the truth, the less I dared uncover all the secrets.
A chill swept in my body and intensified. I felt like I was losing it.
“Sylvia, calm down!” Rufus also sensed that I was losing control over myself, so he called me repeatedly, trying to calm me down.
He kept caressing my arms, trying to warm me up. I squeezed his hands tight and tried to calm down.
The images in the crystal ball kept going. Noreen tossed Chet on the ground like a piece of rag while Alina stood behind her. Although she didn’t say anything, her action had brought enough destructive power to Leonard.
A massive blow appeared to have hurt Leonard so severely that he lost his footing and fell to the ground.
“Something’s wrong. Leonard didn’t look like he fell to the ground because of shock. Look! He had no strength to support himself and could even barely breathe. The veins on his hands have turned red as if he has been poisoned,” Rufus frowned and analyzed the scene calmly.
I didn’t say anything and instead gritted my teeth as I watched Alina lose control. She bawled and ridiculed Leonard, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying.
It was not until Noreen thrust a dagger into Alina’s hand that I almost went crazy. Thinking of the way Alina had acted, I had guessed what would happen next.
Rufus wrapped his arms around me and said, “Calm down, Sylvia. Let’s see what would happen first.”
After Noreen handed the dagger to Alina, she disappeared, leaving the latter and Leonard arguing.
Alina lost it and wailed at Leonard while wielding the dagger Suddenly, Leonard seemed to see something horrible. He halted in his tracks and extended his hand to Alina as if he wanted her to come over.
But Alina was still in a state of frenzy. As Leonard got closer, she jabbed the dagger into his chest.
Rufus’ POV
The scene on the crystal ball shocked me to my core.
I actually doubted Alina once, but Sylvia kept telling me that no matter how menacing a person was, they would never cross the bottom line of killing their own parents. She believed that Alina was no exception and that she wouldn’t go as far as to murder her father. After all, Leonard had raised her, and he loved her so much.
But now, Alina’s true colors were revealed. The cruel side of her personality had now been exposed to us.
Sylvia was too shocked to say anything, and her body trembled while she sobbed. I could tell that she was on the edge of losing control.
I held her tight in my arms, afraid that she would lose control and hurt herself.
The truth was too cruel, even for me. I never thought Alina would be so ruthless to the point that she was willing to murder her own father by stabbing his body multiple times with a dagger.
Even though she was weeping afterward, she probably did that because she was afraid of getting blamed.
At the end of the scene, Leonard stayed still on the ground, slowly dying of blood loss. Alina could have saved him, but she did nothing. She only watched Leonard slowly die until he breathed his last breath.
Just then, the crystal ball suddenly blew into tiny little pieces that scattered on the carpet, most likely because it couldn’t bear Sylvia’s uncontrollable power anymore.
Sylvia was trembling violently. I wanted to hold her closer, but she pushed me away and broke out of my arms.
Despite that, I reached out for her and pulled her close to me again although she was struggling to break free. “Sylvia, calm down. Let’s find a way to get revenge on her.”
But at that point, Sylvia couldn’t hear me anymore. She kept murmuring to herself-vowing that she would kill Alina. Darkness brewed in her eyes, and her body felt a lot colder than before.
It began raining heavily outside again, and that was when she struggled violently to get out of my arms. Her voice got mixed with the sound of the pouring rain as she screamed at me, telling me to let her go.
I didn’t exert too much strength while she was struggling because I was worried that she would get hurt. Thus, she eventually managed to break free from my hold.
Seeing that she was about to sprint through the door, I quickly went over to the door and locked it.
“Let me go! I’m gonna kill Alina!” Sylvia growled. Black smoke enveloped her body as she kept trying to push me away. At the same time, crows were gathering outside the window, wanting to fly inside.
Sylvia grew even more infuriated when I didn’t budge an inch. The air around her was unusually spiteful.
I tried to make her come back to her senses by calling her name over and over, but it didn’t work, not this time.
