In the living room, Charles paced anxiously, angrily scolding the few people around him: "Betsy, they have been away for so long, if something happens to her, I won't let you go!" Several servants lowered their heads, and remained silent no matter how she reprimanded.

"No, Owen and Betsy may be in danger, I have to go find them." Anxious for the comfort of her children, Annata stood up with a pale face and prepared to open the door. "It's dangerous outside, you're going, I'll accompany you!" Beatrice knew she couldn't stop her, so she followed.

"Mother! I also...... I'll go too! Elena hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her concern for her family prevailed over her fear. Charles, of course, couldn't sit idly by, he stopped a few women and said, "Wait another half an hour, and if they haven't come back, I'll take you there." ”

"Okay, wait until six o'clock, no matter what, I must go!" Ananta looked at the time and said firmly. It was getting darker, and soon, the sun had completely set, and it was pitch black outside. Everyone looked at the dark forest outside the window, and the fear in their hearts grew.

"I see it's almost time, and they still haven't come back." Mrs. Anatta stood up and picked up the flashlight she had prepared: "Don't forget what you said. "Well, let's go." Charles nodded. At this time, all the lights in the room suddenly went out again.

"What's going on?" Everyone couldn't help but recall what they had encountered last night, and they panicked even more. "The main power switch seems to have been broken by something!" After Sebas came back from the inspection, he said in sweat: "Now the power supply in the manor has been cut off, and I am afraid that it can only be lit with flashlights and candles." ”

Charles changed the camera to night mode and shot around. As he swiped through a scene, he saw a pair of bare feet. When I looked back, the feet were gone. "Run!" Charles immediately roared, and at the same time pulled Elena beside him, and ran madly towards the door.

"Why, why did you do this to me?" In the darkness, the girl's mournful cry was full of desolation: "I will take revenge, I will curse you, all of you will be buried here!" The evil gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness and hit Lu Qing's heart.

"Shhh...... Hurt. When Lu Qing opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the attic room. He touched his head, only to feel that his hands were slimy, and the back of his hair was also a little damp, probably seeing blood. "I've been in a coma for so long?" When he saw the bright moonlight outside the iron window, he sat up suddenly. At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the iron door behind him had been firmly locked for some reason.

Lu Qing touched his arms, but fortunately, the evil blade was not lost. He pulled out his knife, easily cut the door lock, and escaped from the house. As he passed by the bedroom on the first floor, he heard a whimper coming from behind the door.

Lu Qing opened the door and saw Owen who was tied up with flowers. After untying the rope for him and taking out the cloth from his mouth, Owen hurriedly said to him, "It's Daniel, he attacked me while I wasn't looking!" ”

"Well, I know. I'm talking about getting out of here first. "Lu Qing was in a trance, and due to blood loss, his head was swollen and painful." You're hurt! Owen saw blood flowing from his forehead and couldn't help but panic: "Your wound needs to be bandaged." ”

"It's okay, the wound isn't too deep." Lu Qingqiang said, "We must hurry back to the manor." Daniel went back to help Devany finish her killing. ”

"What? Then according to your will, my father ......"

"Well, Mr. Carol Burke, it was Daniel who killed him." Owen helped Lu Qing, and the two walked out of the house. But why did she kill her father? Is it just for that painting? "Owen is very puzzling.

"And not only that." Lu Qing took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Owen. There is a dignified and elegant woman in the photo, standing next to her is the young Carol Burke, and on the other side there is an angelic and beautiful little girl, Owen recognizes at a glance, she is his sister Daphne.

But what really notices is that there is a boy next to Daphne who is a lot shorter than her, and looks like he is only about five or six years old. However, compared to the other three people in the photo, the boy's appearance looks ordinary and unremarkable. Especially standing next to the shocking Daphne, it seems that he is more like an ugly duckling.

"What is this?" Owen was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "This kid can't be Daniel!" ”

"That's him. Daniel's true identity is Daphne's younger brother, your older brother. Lu Qing's words made Owen's brain go blank. Daniel has undergone plastic surgery, and although he looks to be in his twenties, according to calculations, his actual age should be in his early thirties. ”

"How can you be sure this kid is Daniel's?"

"Look at the left side of his neck, there's a dark red birthmark." Lu Qing remembered that there was a cross tattoo on the corresponding position of Daniel's neck. Now that I think about it, he should have deliberately made it to cover the birthmark. Subsequently, in the process of hurrying, Lu Qing told Owen a shocking secret that had been hidden for a long time in their family.

More than thirty years ago, Carol Burke married his first wife, Elizabeth. Soon after the marriage, Elizabeth bore him a daughter. The daughter was as clean and beautiful as an angel, and what was even more amazing was that after three months, her dark gray eyes slowly turned purple. This surprised the couple and thought she was a gift from heaven.

Carol Burke has an incomprehensible dedication and pursuit of beauty throughout his life, no matter what he is right, he demands perfection. Even their own servants only choose good-looking people. Since the birth of his daughter, he has cared for Daphne and regarded her as his most precious treasure. Elizabeth was very relieved at first, but as time went on, she noticed that her husband's love for her daughter became a little strange.

Daphne was eight years old, and Carol Burke didn't give her much contact with the outside world, and even a few more words from the servants would make Carol Burke furious. Soon, Elizabeth became pregnant again. Burke was thrilled by the news, and he looked forward to it, hoping that his wife would give birth to another beautiful and dazzling child for him.

However, genetically mutated human races like Devonie are very rare in the world, and naturally the same thing does not happen twice. This time, Elizabeth gave birth to a boy. To Burke's disappointment, the child was not as perfect as he expected, with an ugly birthmark on his neck and dark gray eyes that had not mutated.

The boy hadn't had much of a presence with him since he was born. However, my mother and sister were delighted by the arrival of this new life. When Burke is not at home, the three of them can also enjoy a moment of warmth. But as time went on, Carol Burke became more and more dissatisfied with his son.

Especially when he saw Daphne and Daniel playing together, and seeing his son's mediocre face, Burke suddenly had a strange idea: he thought that ugly things were like viruses that could be transmitted to others. If the beautiful Daphne stayed with him for a long time, would she be infected by him and become no longer perfect?

This thought grew in his mind, and his dislike for Daniel grew deeper. Elizabeth found that her husband beat and scolded her son all day long, and did not even allow him to play with his daughter or show him outside. Burke said that he didn't want outsiders to know that he had such a mediocre son.

The couple often quarreled over their son, and in the end Elizabeth chose to compromise, leaving her son to be raised by someone else, and making a large monthly payment in the hope of making up for her guilt. She thought that this would bring her husband back to normal, but Carol Burke became more and more crazy.
