Chapter 366: Self-Injuring

Serena woke up from the cold.

Because of the scandal in the banquet hall, she was provoked by Emma’s indifference and turned black. She went to Zhai Jing to teach Emma a lesson.

In her plan, she would use the excuse of teaching Le Wan and Zhai Jing a lesson to lure Emma to a small wooden house in the mountains and lock her up there to make her suffer.

Everything went smoothly. When she said that she wanted to check on the situation and went to the back of the house to lock the door, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth and nose. Then, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she found herself lying under a large pine tree. Not far away was the small wooden house. At this moment, her head was still a little dizzy, but it didn’t prevent her from realizing that she had been tricked. “Where’s Emma?” Serena shook her head and suddenly thought of Emma. A wave of fear rose in her heart.

Although she really wanted to teach Emma a lesson and take her down a notch, she wasn’t bold enough to let anything happen to Emma.

After all, Emma ran out with her. If something really happened to Emma, she wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.

Serena shook her frozen limbs and walked to the small wooden house in fear. She found that the door was locked by a wooden stick. Her heart sank. She looked through a small gap in the door and saw a scene that made her very frightened.

Emma’s expensive dress was torn and thrown on the ground, while she was lying naked on the ground. It was unknown if she was dead or alive.

Serena was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost fell to the ground.

There was only one thought left in her mind. If Emma died, she would be finished too.

Serena stood rooted to the ground and panicked for a while. After calming down a little, she comforted herself that things shouldn’t be that bad. She muttered in her heart,

No, they say that evil people live for a thousand years. Maybe Emma just fainted.

After convincing herself countless times, Serena calmed herself down and took two deep breaths. She peeked through the crack of the door and checked the room. She realized that there was no one else in the room except Emma.

She put her ear on the door again and listened for a long time. When she didn’t hear any other movements in the room, she mustered up the courage to pull the wooden stick that was holding the door lock and gently pushed the door open.

The wooden door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, made an ear-piercing sound in the quiet environment. It scared her so much that her entire body trembled and she subconsciously took a step back.

Fortunately, this commotion didn’t cause Serena to worry.

She held her breath and waited for a while before she mustered up her courage and walked into the house.

She stood in the living room and stole a glance at the other rooms to make sure that there was no one else in the room and that the back door was open.

She thought that the people who had hurt Emma had probably run away, so she relaxed her tense back a little.

Serena heaved a sigh of relief and squatted down. Her trembling fingers first carefully touched Emma’s arm and then probed under her nose. She only relaxed when she saw that she was still breathing.

With the help of the light from the window, she realized that Emma’s body was covered in bruises, some dust, and some suspicious yellow and white marks.

Serena frowned in disgust. She looked up and saw that Emma’s face, which she was usually proud of, had been ruined. The corners of her eyes, nose, and mouth were bruised and swollen.

This made Serena feel a little scared, but also a little refreshed. Emma was usually so delicate, but in the end, she still ended up like this. She was raped by a wild dog from who knows where. Now that she saw Emma in this state, how could Emma still be proud in front of her in the future?

Serena was smug for a while before she suddenly realized a problem. When Emma woke up, she might not be able to explain herself.

After all, the two of them had come to the small wooden house together. How was she going to explain her “being alone”?

Serena thought for a moment and suddenly saw a stone stained with soil in the corner. She hesitated for a moment and walked over to pick up the stone. A struggling expression flashed across her face. Then, as if she had thought of something, she finally made up her mind.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She held the stone in her right hand and smashed it on her face several times in a row.

The pain made her tears and snot flow out. Serena bit her lip but refused to stop. She knocked on her body, arms, and thighs a few times until those places began to swell. She then stopped and threw the stone out of the window..
