Hearing this shocking revelation, many of the villagers simply couldn't hold back anymore.
They closed their eyes, turned away, covered their mouths in horror.
Just when they thought they had heard the worst and thought the truth couldn't get any more horrific—it had.
A grandfather willing to make his own grandchildren suffer.
Newborn babies, barely a day old, tormented because he didn't want his daughter to lead the village.
All for such a petty, stupid reason, he had destroyed so many lives, handed control to a man driven by nothing but ambition.
It was too disgusting to even think about.
Several elders muttered about cutting down the tree they had planted when the former patriarch died. He had no right to stand in this forest after what he'd done.
But more than that, they wanted to see how Leona would react—her own father had tried to kill his grandchildren.
