I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 500 I swear

Hinari was busy giggling by herself when she received a message. She thought that it was from Zaki so she quickly opened it, anticipating his reaction about the photo she sent.

However, to her dismay, it wasn’t a message from her Zaki but from her ’dearest’ evil step mother.

[My dear step daughter, don’t make a lady wait okay? Come up here now. I just want to return something very important to you.]

The smile on Hinari’s face abruptly disappeared as soon as she read those words. She knew that woman was definitely plotting something. But somehow, she became suspicious because that woman was blatantly and incessantly asking her out like this. Since she was young, that woman loved to scheme behind her targets back, acting in secret, like a snake in the dark. That was her strategy all along and many fell in her hands including her mother. She knew what she was like, so that woman being persistent like this was a surprise to her. Did she really change her tactic? Or was there something she really needed to return? No, that’s impossible. Don’t you dare fall for her trap again, Hinari... not again!

Letting go of a deep sigh, Hinari looked at her sleeping grandfather before her gaze returned to her phone. She still couldn’t help but think about what that woman wanted to return. But in the end, she decided to dampen her curiosity and ignore her. After all, she was the one who said that it was better to take precautions.

Hinari then put down her phone, resting her head on her chair’s headrest as she stared at the ceiling. She was about to close her eyes to start clearing her mind when she again received another message.

[My dear Hinari, are you sure you don’t want this? If you won’t come in 10 minutes, I’ll throw this away from here.]

The moment Hinari saw that photo she sent, her eyes widened and the phone on her hand almost fell. Her mouth turned agape in utter disbelief.

That diamond necklace. It was the necklace which was the last gift her mother gave her before she died. That necklace was an heirloom her mother inherited from her parents and that scheming snake knew just how important it was to her.

Hinari lost it when she was young, no, it was stolen from her and god knows how devastated she was when she found out it was gone. It was the only thing she held onto back then. But after losing her mother, she also lost that important thing. Hinari had promised on her mother’s grave, to look for it as long as she was alive and she didn’t stop looking for it even now, using different connections to look for it. But for many years, she had failed. Who would have thought that it was actually in the hands of that woman?

Actually, she shouldn’t even be surprised anymore. She had already thought about them stealing it but she had no evidence. She had even begged her grandfather to open her stepmother’s and sister’s jewel collections to look for it but she didn’t find it. That incident enraged her father, ruining their relationship as a father and daughter beyond saving, until in the end, she, the typical Cinderella, left her own home.

"Just as I thought... So it really was in your hands all along." Hinari’s eyes swiftly changed. They were now glimmering with nothing but hate and bitter pain. Her long lost desire to take revenge had returned in a blink of an eye. It was as if her sleeping vengeful spirit has awakened and it seemed like nobody could stop her anymore once she started her rampage.

"Just you wait... this time, I won’t hold back anymore. I will destroy all of you. I swear!"
