The icy touch on Paula’s neck caused her pupils to abruptly contract. The cup in her hand fell straight to the

ground..

“W-What are you doing?”

Pressing down harder, Martha said, “Return the money to Ceci.”

“I've given all the money to Ralph; where would | get more? Put down the knife quickly, or I'll make you regret

it.” Paula’s voice was trembling as she spoke.

Martha was not at all intimidated by her threats.

“How do you plan on makingregret it? What can someone like you, who can’t lift a hand or shoulder a

burden, possibly do to me?”

Paula felt pain shooting through her neck, as though she had been nicked and was bleeding.

“Calm down. You just want money, right? I'll give it to you.”

Indeed, in the face of death, no one was more noble than the other.

Martha knew well that Paula was terrified of dying, but the latter's death was not what she chere for that

day.

“Mom, why is the door closed? | need to talk to you.”

Suddenly, Magnus’ voice cfrom the outside of the house.

Pretending to be anxious, Martha said, “I'm going to kill you to avenge Cecil”

Scared, Paula hastily reached for the knife.

It was at this moment that Martha firmly grasped Paula’s hand. With the knife’s tip aimed at herself, she

ruthlessly plunged it toward her own body.

“Ah!”

Paula let out a horrified scream, only to see her own hands covered in bright red.

Yet she didn’t feel any pain, for Martha had grabbed her hand and stabbed the knife into her own. abdomen.

“You...!” Paula was at a loss for words, quickly releasing her grip.

With a loud thump, Martha collapsed to the ground. As her vision dimmed, she murmured, “I know | can’t afford

to offend you powerful and wealthy people, but there's one thing | can do. | can trade my life... to ensure... a

lifetof unrest... and imprisonment for you...”

She knew that with her frail body, there was no way she could harm Paula.

Thus, she chere with the sole intention of using her last breath to send Paula to jail.

“You're nothing but a maniac! A madwoman!”

Once again, Martha opened her mouth, blood trickling out. “I already asked someone to call the police before |

arrived.”

The knocking on the door outside grew increasingly urgent.

“Mom, what are you doing? There are police everywhere outside! Mom, open the door!”

Magnus was thrown into a panic.

Why are the police here? Could it be that Cecilia has already found evidence of Mom and | transferring the

assets?

Inside the house, Paula’s hands couldn't stop trembling.

After all the struggles to reach this point, she didn’t want to end up in jail. Why would this nanny risk her own life

just to harm her?

In a rush, Paula hurriedly wiped the blood off her hands, hoping to conceal everything.

But in the next moment, with a loud “bang,” the door was busted open.

Upon seeing the swarm of people outside, Paula realized her future was ruined, and at the hands of a mere

nanny too.

Martha lay on the cold floor, her mind filled with the words the doctor had privately shared with her the previous

night.

“Madam, while | was examining you, | noticed that the fluid in your lungs has once again reached. a critical level.

You might not be able to hold on for another half a month.”

At that time, Martha had pleaded with the doctor, “Doctor, could you possibly refrain from telling my daughter? |

want to be the one to break the news to her.”

The doctor agreed, even prescribing her a significant amount of painkillers to make her final moments somewhat

more bearable.

Martha had cto realize that when one was on the brink of death, there was no pain, no sensation at all. All

that remained was a profound reluctance to leave, especially when it cto the person they cared about most «

in the world.
