The old woman who came in had white hair, and her face was full of wrinkles. With a crutch in her hand, her age was about the same as Holden’s…
No, now after Holden took the rejuvenation pills given by Alex, his appearance had changed significantly. He looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. In contrast, this old woman could be seventy or eighty years old.
The most chilling was that there was a very deep and long scar on her face. It was as if she was just injured, and the scar scab had not yet fallen.
One glance and one would think that those were centipedes lying from the corner of her eye to the corner of her mouth.
The Coleman family was now about to go crazy with anger.
Originally Anna’s accident had made everyone psychologically hurt. Luckily, Alex brought some good news, saying that Anna still had a chance of resurrection. Therefore, the Coleman family just went outside to remove the white cloth and white lanterns. They did not expect after taking those down, a grandchild would be killed.
This time, this grandchild was really dead.
Alex looked at him. Even his soul was gone, which meant he was truly dead.
There was no chance of salvation. That meant they needed to rehang the white cloth and white lanterns, which were just taken down.
Was there anything more painful and desperate than this?
Alex looked at the old woman with a look of shock and anger. As he looked at this woman, he realized the aura on her body was a bit odd. She was neither kind nor evil. But, there was strange spiritual energy with some uncomfortable feeling.
“Who are you? I don’t even know you!” Holden’s eyes seemed to spew fire as he said coldly, “But you killed my grandson for no reason. I tell you, today, I will kill you!”
“You don’t know me, you say?” The old woman laughed loudly. “However, I am thinking of you, Holden, all the time, thinking of you, thinking of when I can kill you! ”
Anna’s father, Lewandowski Coleman, asked gravely, “Dad, you really don’t know her?”
Holden answered, “I don’t. I haven’t seen her before at all.”
At this moment, the old woman made a heavy thump with her cane and said, “Holden, it seems that you have lived a comfortable life in the past fifty years, accompanied by your children and grandchildren. Good, then I will kill your children and grandchildren, one by one, I will kill them in front of you. I think that feeling must be very good, right?”
However, Holden soon gave a ‘bah’. “Eunice, I think you are really shameless. Do you still have the face to say these things of the past? Do you think you were very honorable in the past?”
Eunice shouted sternly, “What was so dishonorable about me?”
The Coleman family asked what was going on.
Holden exclaimed, “Well, since you are not dead and have appeared again, and you want to come and kill my whole family, then I will simply make things clear and understandable! Listen carefully. This woman is called Eunice Murphy, who once was indeed my wife. But, she did not abide by women’s morals and had a rendezvous with another wild man in the cowshed, and I caught her red-handed!”
Then, the Coleman family looked at Eunice with incomparable contempt and disgust.
Holden continued, “That was more than fifty years ago. Back then, adultery was a major crime. The man whom she fornicated with was tied up and beaten to death by the Red Guard! Eunice, Byron’s death was completely caused by the two of you. He deserved to die, but you were also responsible. On what basis do you resent me?”
Alex and Ted stood on the side like spectators watching a show.
