“Oh, how pitiful Jenna is! She had foolishly sacrificed herself for Young Master Burton all that time, but alas, his heart belonged to her succubus of a sister! Are you watching, Jenna?! I’ve finally uncovered the truth about these two!” howled Alma, her voice brimming with ridicule.
By this point, Xavia could already imagine the onslaught of online comments discussing the current situation… So be it! As long as the kids were safe! With that in mind, she was prompted to say, “You’ve heard the truth, so let go of the children!”
Scoffing in response, Alma replied, “Sure, it’s not like I wanted to hurt them in the first place! Still, you two really are something else… I’ve made up my mind. For Jenna’s sake, I’m sacrificing myself! Everyone! Please hear my final message! Make sure to remember how filthy these two are the next time you’re tempted to criticize Jenna! While it’s true that Jenna’s no saint, she was ignored for ten long years by Young Master Burton!”
“You’ve all heard about the betrayal as well, so stop going after her head! Also… I’m sorry, Jenna, but I can no longer protect you. Thank you for avenging me, and remember to care for yourself…!” concluded Alma before pushing the kids forward… and falling backward!
Xavia had noticed that Alma had lifted the lighter moments before she fell, and she immediately screamed out the children’s names! Thankfully, Zivon was able to act fast, and in one swift move, he had grabbed the kids and taken cover! Had he been a second slower, the deafening explosion would’ve surely hit him!
As for Alma, she slowly began descending to the ground in a fireball… and by the time she landed, she was all charred up…
It was about five days later when Xavia let out a scream. That nightmare again… Ever since that incident, Xavia had had continuous nightmares of that event, and she kept remembering Alma’s expression moments before she blew up…
