Crises in Love Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Upon hearing me mention Zora, Catherine chuckled in disbelief, shaking her head in
resignation
She said. “Zoras family background was a real circus. Her father was an alcoholic, often
resorting to domestic violence. The reason for this was that her mother had been involved
with a married man before marrying her father. She was publicly humiliated by the man’s wife, who stripped her naked and left her with a lame leg. This was what drove her into the
arms of Zoras father
After their marriage, her mother seemed to have given up on her life. After all, she had been with a good–looking man, and now she was stuck with an unattractive alcoholic. She was naturally despondent
“She sounds like a real troublemaker,” I sneered
“Absolutely, and she’s not the brightest bulb either,” Catherine agreed and continued. “The early days of their marnage were bearable as her husband treated her well, but her own. actions soon wore his patience thin After another provocation, he beat her mercilessly.
Once domestic violence starts, it doesn’t stop Even when she was pregnant with Zora, she wasn’t spared Zora grew up in such a household
“Well, she certainly doesn’t deserve any pity, following in her mother’s footsteps without. remorse, I sighed. Looks like she’s lucky to have met mel
Catherine couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve hit the nail on the head. She has a knack for trouble She dropped out of school and left home at 17, and she had been working as a housekeeper, always aiming to marry rich. Once she was caught seducing her employer and was beaten before she ended up in Goldenvale Town She has quite a history in that
respect
“No wonder she’s been working at my place for eight years. She’s been waiting for her big break, I laughed sarcastically “No wonder she couldn’t wait for me to die, drugging me is one thing, but she even tried to hurt me in secret!”
Catherine looked puzzled, “Hurt you in secret?”
I pointed to the painful spot on my head for Catherine to inspect. “This is the evidence of her clandestine abuse!”
When Catherine leaned in to take a closer look, her eyes instantly flared with anger, “Damn, Aaliyah, why didn’t you say anything sooner? This woman… No, we need to call the police, have her arrested!”
After taking a photo of my head with her phone, she showed me the image.
The picture showed a bruised and battered scalp, littered with puncture wounds Even I was taken aback by how severe it looked. It was clear I had been in a deep sleep at the time.

“Aaliyah, what are you waiting for? Have her arrested, let her rot in jail!” Catherine hugged my head, sobbing, “My dear Allie, how could this happen to you? How could this be!”
After a while, I slowly straightened up, tucked my hair and looked at Catherine, saying calmly, “What good would arresting her do? Prison is too comfortable for her. After a few years, she’ll be out and able to start over. That’s too easy. She should taste what her mother had to endure, experience what it feels like to wish for death.”
Catherine instantly understood my meaning. She grabbed my hands, squeezing them tightly, “Count me in, I’ll help you! You’re right, she needs to learn what it truly means to wish for
death.”
“Great, then first you can help me with something!” I looked at her expectantly.
“Tell me! Whatever it is, if it helps you get your revenge, I’m all in!”
I pulled Catherine in close and whispered my plan into her ear. The more Catherine listened, the more excited she became. Slapping her chest, she said, “Deal, let’s do this!”
We added a few more details to the plan and left the café, satisfied. As we were about to leave, we saw two people exiting a bank across the street.
I quickly pulled Catherine back into the café and pointed them out to her.
