NovelFameChapter 822
Magnolia Psychiatric Hospital.
Aline thrashed and screamed, pinned to the bed by a group of orderlies as the electric shock hit her. The chains
bit so deep into her wrists and ankles that her skin broke and bled. Soon, her cries faded and she lost
consciousness.
The staff glanced at her limp body with a look of unmasked disgust.
"Finally, speace and quiet."
"Honestly, this woman is a fool. If she managed to escape from a hellhole like Mirage Cay, she should've just
kept her head down and lived quietly. But no, she had to go and mess with the royal family. Did she really think
she was good enough for them? She pissed off the wife, and here she is, locked in the psych ward."
Not long ago, after Citrine led a raid on Mirage Cay and took down the whole operation, Aline seized her chance
and escaped.
But freedom didn't bring her a better life. She scraped by for over a month, penniless and desperate. Just as she
was about to give up, she crossed paths with a wealthy man-he mistook her for a beggar and handed her a wad
of cash. That moment sparked an idea.
For days, Aline schemed to get closer to him. She landed a job as a hotel maid, and with access to his room, she
drugged his drink and slipped into his bed.
She thought she'd hit the jackpot, convinced she was about to marry into luxury. But the man turned out to be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot just rich, but royal-and married on top of that.
Afterward, the man wanted nothing to do with her, openly expressing his disgust. His wife, furious, used her
influence to have Aline committed to the psychiatric hospital.
Citrine knew all about the whereabouts of Aline and her daughter, Jeanette.
A month later, Jeanette died of exhaustion in Africa. When Citrine learned of it, she immediately had the news
delivered to Aline.
Aline had clung to the hope that her daughter would someday rescue her from that wretched place. With
Jeanette gone, her last flicker of hope was extinguished.
Unable to accept the truth, Aline finally lost her mind for real.
Back home, Citrine listened to the report, her expression blank. She had always thought she'd feel a sense of
satisfaction when that mother and daughter met theifend, but now all she felt was an unexpected calm. s
Their fate didn't stir any emotion in her at all.
Meanwhile, her assistant brought more news Kali Glenwood had met with disaster. After the Glenwood family
went bankrupt, every person who'd been pressured openly on secretly into donating blood for Kali cback for
revenge. Among them were elderly parents who had lost their own children because they'd been forced to give
blood to Kali. s
Their resentment ran deep. After staking out Kali's apartment for days, they finally got their chance: someone
threw acid in her face. Kali was left permanently disfigured.
Citrine's face remained impassive.
The hatred that had burned so fiercely in her past life seemed to have faded, soothed by the love she'd found in
this one.
Now, she had parents and family who loved her, and Sebastian, the man she cared for. Everything in her life was
moving steadily toward something good.
When happiness settles in, old wounds beceasy to forget-and Citrine was no exception.
Sebastian watched her from the side, his heart aching with tenderness and
concern.
They'd known each other a long time
