?Chapter 614:


    “Let go…” Yvonne gasped, struggling, but the more she fought, the tighter Christina’s grip became. Her face turned red, her breath escaping in short, desperate bursts.


    “Ah!” Liza screamed as she scrambled to her feet. “Let go of my daughter!” She lunged toward Christina in a frenzy.


    Without hesitation, Christina raised her leg and kicked Liza square in the chest, sending her crashing back to the floor.


    Mack finally snapped out of his daze, his eyes zing with rage. “Are you trying to kill her? Let go of your sister!”


    “She’s not my sister. From the moment you dumped me in that overseas camp and left me to survive alone, I stopped having a family,” Christina said, her voice cold and hollow. If they hadn’t been so cruel, she might have spared them out of gratitude for raising her until she was ten years old. But they had crossed the line repeatedly, and now they would face the consequences.


    “You ungrateful brat! I’ll deal with you myself!” Liza growled, pushing herself up again and charging forward.


    Christina scoffed. “You’re out of your depth.” She delivered another sharp kick, sending Liza sprawling once more.


    With Yvonne still in her grasp, Christina reached into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, pressing the de against Yvonne’s throat.


    Yvonne froze, her eyes wide with terror. One wrong move, and the de would slice through her skin.


    “Don’t do anything stupid!” Mack shouted, panic rising in his chest. Cold sweat formed on his back at the sight of the knife. Christina hadpletely snapped.


    He had known that if it came to this, he never would have let her through the door. But it was toote now.


    “Christina! Please! Let’s talk this through. Don’t hurt Yvonne—she’s your sister!” Liza wailed, too afraid to move. She wanted to grab the knife, but one wrong step could push Christina over the edge and put Yvonne’s life at risk. “Put the knife down, okay? Whatever you want—anything. We’ll agree. Just don’t hurt her.”


    Her voice trembled with fear, every word soaked in desperation. “I’m begging you. Spare her. She’s my only child!”

    Mack’s face twisted in fury. He turned to Liza and snapped, “What the hell are you saying? Christina is our child too! We have two daughters!” He feared his wife’s careless words might set Christina off, so he quickly jumped in to fix the damage.


    Realizing her mistake, Liza nodded quickly. “Yes, yes—you’re right. I didn’t mean it that way. We only have the two of you. Please don’t hurt each other.”


    “Just put the knife down, Christina,” Mack pleaded. “Be reasonable. We were wrong before, and we’re sorry. But this isn’t the way.”


    However, Christina didn’t flinch. Their words meant nothing to her now. Her voice was low and sharp as ice. “Don’t guilt-trip me with family talk. Sign the transfer papers for the shares, or I’ll take Yvonne’s hands in exchange.”


    “Must you be this heartless, Christina?” Liza’s voice trembled, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.


    “I admit—we wronged you before. But if you let Yvonne go now, we’ll do whatever it takes to make things right.” Mack, ever the negotiator, added hesitantly, “What if I hand over ten percent of the Jones Group shares? You’d be CEO. You’d have full control of operations…”


    Liza could see right through her husband’s act—his offer was nothing but a calcted dy tactic. He had no intention of handing over a single share to Christina. “Yes, absolutely,” she said, nodding eagerly. “Release Yvonne, and we can discuss terms. I’ll even give you five percent of my own shares.”
