Chapter 928:
The man’s agonized pleas filled the air as he begged Addie for mercy. Yet, Addie persisted, her voice steady but sinister. “Mercy? Who’d have mercy for me then p>
From her position, Yelena could not catch Addie’s murmured words, but she was proficient at lip-reading and understood her clearly.
“Fred, stop this madness!” Addie raised her voice and cried out as she continued the assault, making it appear to any onlooker as though she was trying to prevent the violence.
Suddenly, the night’s silence was shattered further by the arrival of their parents, alerted by the noise.
“Ah… Fred!” their mother, Kiana Morgan, exclaimed in horror, rushing to intervene and forcefully pulling Addie away from the gruesome scene.
As Kiana cradled her son’s blood-drenched leg, rage twisted her features.
Fred wailed in agony, saying, “Mom, it’s so painful p>
“Addie, is this how you look after your own brother?” Kiana exclaimed angrily.
Their father, Joseph Morgan, looked on, fury etched across his face. “You’re such a burden. What use are you around here p>
Addie’s gaze dropped, her eyes briefly revealing a trace of satisfaction. Had she not orchestrated this chaos precisely?
She had hoped that her actions would lead the Morgan family to disown her, allowing her to turn to Janey for refuge.
Dreaming of a secure future with the Bowen family, Addie couldn’t help but feel a rush of triumph.
However, Joseph caught the fleeting smirk in her eyes and struck her across the face without a moment’s hesitation. “Was this your doing? Did you hurt your brother p>
Confusion clouded Joseph’s mind. They were normally light sleepers, so how had they overlooked such commotion tonight?
This wasn’t the first time a crisis had struck; once, Fred’s accident had necessitated a sudden hospital visit, leaving Addie under Janey’s supervision.

In that instant, Addie’s mind went blank, and her breath caught. She couldn’t believe this was happening!
Despite her cautiousness, how had Joseph uncovered her secret?
“Bind her!” Joseph’s command thundered as he charged at Addie.
Enraged, Kiana set Fred aside and also dashed towards Addie. With Fred incapacitated, any attempt by Addie to flee would spell disaster for them.
A scream tore from Addie’s lips, but it was cut short when Kiana’s whistle sounded, rendering her immobile as if a spell had been cast. Joseph gave Kiana an approving nod, declaring, “Well done p>
Before Addie could gather her wits, Joseph forcibly pulled her arms behind her, and Kiana swiftly secured them with a rope.
As reality dawned on her, Addie found herself completely bound, unable to move her hands or feet.
“Please, release me. I can’t live my life like this,” Addie pleaded, her body instinctively writhing.
Joseph’s hand struck Addie’s face as he yelled with bloodshot eyes, “You were adopted for a singular purpose, and that is to care for Fred indefinitely. Don’t think injuring him grants you freedom. I have myriad ways to keep you in line p>
“I won’t try anything, I promise,” Addie whined, her eyes wide with terror.
She was then forcibly ushered into the room.
Yelena, witnessing this, found the scene too grievous to watch.
Her expression darkened.
