Chapter 173 Who Do You Think Is Dying (1/2)

For several days Emily's parents were yielded prisoners. They were fed once a day by Tina's thugs, but the portions were just enough to keep them barely alive. Moreover, the house was as cold as the North Pole. If it wasn't for those dirty blankets that they found in the house, they would surely freeze to death.

Every day was miserable, since it was just starving and freezing all day. It was too much to bear for anyone and death was hiding at the next door.

At the same time, Emily was returning to Haicheng City. When she was finally at home, on the table in the kitchen she found a DVD she had never seen before. So, she took the DVD and played the video on her computer. When the video started, she felt a cold thrill on her back, her face was completely terrified.

The monitor showed two people sitting down on the floor. They were wearing some dirty rag; their hairs were scruffy and untied; their arms, legs, and face brought signs of starvation and pain.

That voice was familiar. Emily gritted her teeth and trembled with rage and pain. She shouted out word by word,”Tina, why do you have my parents? If you have any problem, then it is just between you and me. Leave them out of this story!”

Tears fell down her face. She couldn't believe that her parents were dying. They were all her world. If they would die in this way, right now, she would never be the same again. Her poor heart wouldn't survive as well.

Tina felt the terror in Emily's voice. She laughed delightedly,”Yes. I have them. Emily, mark my words. Your parents are rubbish like you are! They gave you birth and for this they need to pay! That's all you deserve, to be treated like rubbish!”

”Tina!” Emily squeezed the phone as she wanted to broke it in pieces. She said nervously,”What the hell do you want? ...”

”Oh, there are a lot of things that I want.” Tina sounded calm and happy,”But let's t
