Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 247

She handed me a torch through her bodyguard.

At that moment, those two girls from the orphanage screamed as Kate dragged them into the cabin.

"Hannah, this is way out of line!"

"Out of line? If you knew my story, you wouldn't say that."

She turned her back, suddenly barking, "What are you waiting for? Drag Claire Floyd over to light the fire, and if she resists, burn her with them."

"Let go!" I struggled briefly, then added, "I can walk on my own."

The thought of Ronald possibly being in danger left me clueless about what to do next.

Hannah's schemes were too deep.

"Claire, I don't want to force you, but you shouldn't fall for those you shouldn't have. You should be obedient like Richard."

"What kind of parent are you? Using Richard like that. He loves you so much, and you're just exploiting him. You're going to ruin his life!" I was practically roaring at her silhouette.

"It doesn't matter. He's not my son; he's your real brother."

Crash—My world seemed to be crumbling bit by bit.

"Don't be so shocked. He doesn't know you're his real sister; he only knows you're his cousin. He was so protective of you just as a cousin. How could I possibly tell him you're his only sister in this world? That wouldn't serve my purposes, would it?"

Hannah laughed smugly at her own cunning.
