A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 172

"If you want your revenge, go for Emily! Why us? Go and find her! Emily never cared about us !" Andrew's face darken. He turned around to Debby and yelled,"This is your fault! It's all because of you spoiling Emily! Look at this! Emily is the one who messed up! Why should we suffer from it?"

Full of tears, Debby cupped her swollen face with her hand and said in a shaky voice to Tina,"We never did anything to harm you and we really do not know what happened between you and Emily. Please, set us free and I will have Emily apologize for what she has done to you."

Tina sneered. "An apology is never enough to make up for what she has done to me..." She smiled grimly with eyes full of hatred and continued,"I'll never stop until I get my revenge. Until I squeeze the life out of her eyes!"

Tina looked so much like a viper at this moment which frightened the old couple more.

"Here. This is your food," said Tina. She slightly lifted her foot and pointed to a barrel of leftover food with her delicate toe.

Andrew stared at Tina with surprise and yelled,"How could you let us eat this! Don't push us too far! "

"I see. So, you don't want to eat it? Okay then." "Let's go," said Tina. She did not push them anymore but signaled her henchmen to take the leftovers away.

Seeing Tina leaving, the Bais could not help worrying that once she left, they might starve if not given any food for a long time.

"Don't leave! Please stop!" Emily's parent screamed out loud.

But no matter how much they begged, no one gave a response and the door was slammed shut then.

Andrew felt so angry and could not help bemoaning,"This is all Emily's fault! Now, this damned place might be where we are gonna die!"

Debby also agreed and resented Emily in her mind and replied," God knows when and how Emily would come to save us."

Andrew could not help interrupting Debby and said,"Save us? You are dreaming! I've told you that she could never become our real daughter but you insisted on taking her and raising her up! We should have ended her life from the start, which would have been a much better ending for us all."

Debby replied,"You shouldn't talk about that here! Lower your voice. Someone else might hear you!"

"Who could hear us in this damn place?" asked Andrew. He was really fuming mad and said,"If there's really someone else here, how could we be locked for such a long time? "

Debby could not help asking,"Andrew, there's nobody else here. Did that woman really leave us to starve to death?" Debby was terrified at the thought and could not help breaking down in tears.

"Stop crying!" Andrew yelled at Debby impatiently and said,"Save your energy to live!"

Several days passed and still, no one came no matter how loud the couple shouted for help. They never knew that the house was built in the middle of the woods and was many miles away from the nearest house.

The couple had been starving for a long time. Their faces had turned deathly pale. They felt so hungry that they had to eat the straws on the ground to survive. They did not mind that they were dirty or coarse in the mouth.

They had not eaten or drunk anything for almost one week. If the situation continued, they would die of hunger.

Sometimes, the human instinct to survive left people no other choices.

This was what Tina saw when she came for the second time. Full of disdain, Tina lifted her eyebrow and clicked her tongue,"Tsk tsk. Ewww! So you ate the straw? Disgusting! Did you evolve into farm animals or something?"

That moment when the couple saw Tina, they felt like they had found their savior. They crawled towards Tina and said,"Miss, finally you came back. We are so sorry to say those things to you before. Please give us some food..."

In the face of hunger and with the desire to live, dignity had left their being. In truth, they never had any.

Tina squinted slowly and said,"So you want to eat now?"

"Yes, yes, please...", the couple replied eagerly.

Tina continued,"Okay, bark like a dog and I will give you food, deal?" She clapped her hands. Immediately someone brought a plate of delicious buns. Tina picked up a bun with her red nails sticking into the surface and asked,"Do you want to have a bite?"

Debby stared hungrily at the bun and could not help swallowing, and hesitated.

Andrew was so desperate that he immediately barked like a dog even without thinking,"Bow-wow! "

Tina was amused by Andrew and said,"Come on, one more try!"

"Bow-wow wow!" Andrew did as she commanded. He could not help drooling and begged,"Miss, I did as you told. Could you please give me the bun now?"

"Hahahahaha..." Tina laughed so loudly. She threw the bun to the ground and said to Andrew,"Here you go. Enjoy!"

Andrew immediately grabbed the bun and wolfed it down.

Seeing this, Debby finally lost her last piece of persistence. Hunger totally took control of her mind so she did what her husband did and barked like a dog,"Bow-wow wow! I want the bun, too! Please!"

Tina shook her head and replied seriously,"Nope, you are not as obedient as him."

Debby cried and begged,"Miss, I'm really starving. Please give me a bun! No, just one half! One half is okay! I will do anything you ask!"

She almost lost all of her dignity, begging. Debby tried to grab Tina's hemline but was booted out by Tina's bodyguard.

"You are so pathetic." said Tina looking down at the frail old woman at her feet. She heaved a sigh as if she felt so helpless and continued,"Fine, I'll give you half a bun."

Tina picked up a bun again and divided it into two halves. She threw one half to Andrew as if feeding a dog and threw the other half in front of Debby.

Debby dashed on all force to the half bun like a starving zombie who had spotted its victim. But before she could grab it, her hand was trampled underfoot by Tina.

"Don't rush. Take it slowly," said Tina. Tina continued to trample on the bun and left a clear footprint on it.

"I don't care, just give it to me!" yelled Debby. Debby could not care much for the dirty half bun as she was close to starving to death.

Once Tina moved her shoe away, Debby immediately grabbed the bun and swallowed it all.

Tina felt so ecstatic seeing the couple, robbed of their pride and dignity.

'Emily, your whole family are just the same low-lying creatures and only deserve to crawl under my feet, ' Tina thought.

"Jerks! You all are jerks!" cried Tina. An evil smile appeared in Tina's eyes as if something interesting occurred in her mind. Tina could not help talking to herself,"I really hope to see Emily's reaction."

'It must be the most satisfying thing.'

Meanwhile at the Tao Consortium, a subordinate was reporting the situation to Mark,"Mr. Mark, I have done what you said and Miss Tina... was very happy. "

"Really?" asked Mark. Mark looked up and finally his expression turned from gloomy to bright. He slightly smiled and said,"Send more people to protect Tina but don't let her know. And if anything happens to her or Jacob does something unusual, keep me informed immediately."

"Got it, Mr. Mark."
