Still, I knew that no matter what I said, my family wouldn’t believe me, as Tina was the only one they cared about.
Tina, nestling in Karen’s embrace, looked at me tauntingly. She said, “I know this is all my doing, and you dislike me, Kiara, but I hold no grudge against you. I only wish that I had perished in that accident.”
Upon hearing that, Karen and Liam, who were already seething with revulsion, became even more enraged.
Karen directly pointed her finger at me, yelling, “You vile creature! You lured Tina into the river and almost drowned her ten years ago! You wouldn’t even be around if Tina hadn’t been so magnanimous. How dare you still target her! You are to withdraw from school today! You ought to head back to the countryside and never come near Tina again!”
