A surge of rage mixed with excruciating pain swept through my body. I glared at them with gritted teeth.
"Simp! Cunt!"
I raised my uninjured left arm.
I slapped Thalia across the face. Her cheek swelled red instantly.
She gasped in pain. She thought this showed my helplessness. "Wonder what your mother will think at her birthday banquet when her own daughter does not show up?"
Thalia looked at me provocatively with a cold laugh. She threw down her harsh words and turned to head to the birthday banquet.
I tried to grab the gun with one hand. Matthew stopped me.
I watched him protect Thalia like that. Hatred filled my heart.
In my last life, Matthew said something to my face when Thalia won my mother's favor.
He said. "Thalia saved your brother's life. Since you are Ethan's sister, you should be grateful to her too. If you made this public, not only would Thalia suffer, but your brother would... You know I do not like spoiled and willful girls."
The next second, I yelled loudly without caring about my image. "You knew Thalia long ago. If you like her, why pretend to be deeply in love with me? You used me while simping for Thalia! You are just like your scheming mother. Shameless and cheap!"
But Thalia reminded me unintentionally when she threatened me. Ethan would become the head of the Marsh family later!
My gaze darkened.
Even if Thalia tore her delicate act in front of Matthew, he still sided with her firmly.
As my words fell, the storm in his eyes turned to deliberate affection instantly.
"I will call someone to treat your gunshot wound. Otherwise, infection will ruin your arm." Matthew spoke. He carefully pulled me into his arms. "It is your mother's birthday banquet. A joyful day. You do not want to trouble her or drag your brother into this, right?"
He gazed at me with loving eyes. But his hand on my injured arm squeezed hard in secret.
Yes, my arm was shattered by the bullet now. The house cameras were all removed. Not a soul was around. Needless to say, my dear brother arranged it thoughtfully!
The three of them plotted to murder me!
I sneered. "Hilarious. Thalia saved you two. What does that have to do with me? You owe her your lives. Why sacrifice me and expect me to be grateful? Who do you think you are? Does the Marsh family heiress lack suitors? I have to marry a simp like you!"
My eyes filled with red veins. I shouted filled with hate. "Simp and Cunt! I will make you pay a thousand times over!"
Bang! Crack!!
I raised my uninjured left arm. I grabbed a vase from nearby and smashed it hard on Matthew's head!
Before Matthew reacted, the vase shattered on impact. Pain made him scream. Blood slid down his cheek and dripped to the floor. He clutched his head instinctively. His pupils shrank. He backed away quickly. Shock filled his eyes along with unconcealed resentment.
I composed myself. I leaned close to him with a calm face. "If you do not get to the hospital now and clear the shards, you will die."
Matthew wiped his face hard with his hand. His gaze swirled like a deep sea vortex. "Melany, what a vicious heart you have!"
"Vicious? What about when you shot me? Did you think of me then?" I exposed his lie. "If you delay me, your own life might end."
Matthew hardened his resolve to restrain me. "I will call my private doctor to treat our wounds."
My gaze turned ice cold. The next second, I lunged for his gun. This time he reacted fast.
