Chapter 257 - Realization At Last

Jerlina looked at Matilda and her tone was dry. `

"I..? What did I ever do to you?" Matilda asked. "I don\'t even know you…"

Jerlina felt a pang of pain in her heart.

This is the woman who started the domino effect that gave her the most painful moments of her life. For some reason, she wanted her dead and that was the first domino that fell which started a chain that gave her pain after pain.

In the past year, she faced immeasurable traumas that she had never imagined even in her wildest dreams. She lost her baby as a result of everything else that happened around that time.

And that day she almost died… the hurt she caused for the people in Peyton… the hurt she caused my friends and my husband…

And to think that woman doesn\'t even remember my face..?

Did she have no regrets about having to take a life? Her conscience never pricked her for trying to kill someone who never harmed her? She never had nightmares where she gets haunted by the ghost of the one she tried to kill? Is she a zombie with no heart?

Jeremy could sense that Jerlina is getting stressed and he placed his hand on her back and tried to calm her down but he could feel that it is not calming her down.

"You don\'t?" Jerlina\'s nose flared and she bent to the eye level of the woman kneeling in front of her and begging.

"Matilda Kingsley…" gritting her teeth, she slapped her hard. "Have a good look at me!"

Jerlina didn\'t even care about what happens around anymore as she was solely focused on that dastardly woman looking at her with shock apparent in her face. She probably was never slapped before.

"What-"

*Slap*

Jerlina slapped her once more. "My name!"

Her jaws were clenched and her lips were trembling. Her eyes were starting to get red. Jeremy took a step back to let her do what she wants. He was mad at Matilda. Although his wife\'s slaps don\'t hurt much (he has practical experience) he wanted Jerlina to let off steam. She is stressed a lot lately and this might make her mood better.

"I don\'t"

*Slap*

"Name!"

Matilda got stunned. Her entire body was shaking and without understanding what was happening to her, she scooted back. With her face resting on the wall, she started to tremble.

Jerlina was not letting her go. She followed her. Her pointed heels pressed on the carpet as Matilda cowered. Matilda stopped caring for her son\'s screams as she couldn\'t bear the pain of Jerlina\'s slaps. She looked at Gordon standing there like a statue and the guards were all focused on her son.

She tried to think about what went wrong. Just until some time ago, she was under the impression that her good days have finally approached and she is finally getting what she deserves. But suddenly Gordon asked her to come out and then…

Everything is going downhill swiftly. She felt like she didn\'t understand what is going on around anymore.

Why is this silver-haired woman slapping me? Why isn\'t Gordon stopping her when the grandsire is on my side? What does she have against me?

*Slap*

Another slap ended up on her face. Jerlina\'s anger only increased the more Matilda acted like she didn\'t know what is happening.

"Wait… wait…" Matilda pleaded and she covered her face with her forearms fearing that Jerlina might hit her again.

Jeremy let out a sigh. He could see that Jerlina is in pain; more emotional pain than physical pain. He was about to get her. Her palms were red and he knew her hands would sting.

If she wants to hit that vile woman, he can do it for her. She doesn\'t have to do it and hurt herself.

But before he could get to her, he saw a wheelchair approaching and he recognized it was Jonathan Erling. Gordon walked to him immediately and it seemed like he was explaining what goes on here.

Jeremy was in no mood to interrupt Jerlina. If Jonathan wants to stop Jerlina he is not going to have any of it. Jerlina seems to be hiding something and all he cared for now is to know what it is in her heart.

"Want to have a good look at my face, huh?" Jerlina with a smirk and grabbed her hair.

Jeremy could now have an inkling of what Jerlina wants to know. She is insisting on Matilda telling her name and that means that she is not happy Matilda is not recognizing her.

Although he didn\'t understand why his wife wants a dead person to know her name, if she wants to know then it must be important. And he will help his wife get what she wants.

If his usually cute wife turns this violent, it must be something important to her.

He was already confused why Jonathan Erling stopped him from going againt Matilda. But if he denies what his wofe wants, he is not going to let him.

Jeremy looked at Jonathan who waved his hand and others let a way for him to get near Jerlina. Gordon seemed to be worried to let his boss near the site of trouble, but he obeyed his order.

"Fa-"

Matilda closed her mouth with both of her hands. She knew if she says anything other than the name of the woman hitting her, she\'d get hit again and so she stopped herself. The nerves on her forehead were popping out and tears started to stream from her eyes as her hair was pulled.

Along with the screams of the other guy who is violently losing his hair, the hallway looked like a street wrestling ring.

Matilda only then noticed the face of the woman holding her hair. Till then she only looked at that floral print dress that was couture and that Jimmy Choo shoes she was wearing; and that unusual silver hair.

Those eyes… Those amber eyes that are similar to that of a wolf\'s… Where have I seen them before..?

"Jerlina?" Matilda\'s heart stopped beating for a moment. "Jerlina Hopkins?"

"Finally! Finally you recognized the picture you saw in a file once, huh?" Jerlina gritted her teeth and slammed her head on the wall. She then wiped her hands on her dress.

Jerlina was still mad that she had to try this hard to make that woman even remember her name.

The nerve on her!

"How?" Matilda screamed holding her head. A gash formed in her forehead and blood rushed out.

She saw the wheelchair rolling towards them. The man sitting on it had a smile. It made her heart freeze.

So… this is what happened, huh? I was played?

And I lost to the heir of Aniko Corvin?
