Chapter 1145: Had no choice
Hera Cruel.
A name that had garnered too much attention for all the wrong reasons. Just that name alone was enough to conclude what she was as a person, especially those who hadn’t seen her. After all, the people who had seen her — aside from her people — were either dead or missing from the face of the Earth.
That was why Old Madam Zhu was expecting Hera Cruel to kill her without batting an eye. She expected that she wouldn’t probably see her face before a bullet made a hole in her head. Even if she did glimpse at her, she was expecting to see a pair of cold eyes watching her take her last breath.
Old Madam Zhu expected a lot of things once she came face to face with Hera Cruel. However, she didn’t expect her to be smiling in relief after saving her life, nor did she ever think Hera would casually sit on the edge of the bed to look at her up close to make sure she didn’t get hurt.
"Felice was right. My grandson will love you."
Old Madam Zhu’s words escaped her mouth even before she could think about it. It just reminded her of how Felice bragged about her daughter, telling her Hera would be deadly to any man once she grew up. Old Madam Zhu couldn’t help but wonder why was she smiling.
"Your grandson... didn’t he get a divorce, Old Madam Zhu?" Hera tilted her head a little, smiling. "I thought you loved your granddaughter-in-law. She’d get hurt if she heard that you’re doting on another woman right after their divorce."
"Hera Cruel." Old Madam Zhu sighed heavily. "Why did you do that?"
"Did what?" Hera blinked innocently before her mouth formed an o-shape. "Ah. Do you mean that woman over there? Well, that’s a strange thing to say."
