Chapter 155: Capital's Reed Family Hayden Cohen turned away dejectedly, only to turn back after a few steps and place the thin needle in Tina's hand. Tina, holding the needle, exchanged a silent look with Jared Farrell. The interruption by Hayden had dispersed any tender atmosphere that was brewing. After a moment, they shared a smile.
Checking the time, Tina turned to head back to the basement but heard Jared calling from behind, "Tina." She turned to see him standing in the moonlight, smiling tenderly at her, "I'll wait for you to continue." Tina's ears turned red instantly, and she walked away with the needle.
In the basement, Sean was barely clinging to life. Following Tina's instructions, Quentin had tested every torture device in the basement on Sean. Initially uneasy, Quentin's gaze had hardened as he looked at the wounds and blood he had inflicted on Sean. Tina was right; if his heart wasn't ruthless enough, how could he protect his sister? "You can go now," said Tina, her purpose achieved.

Sean's pupils dilated, knowing full well the terror of this tool having used it on Hugo himself. "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you," Tina said with a faint smile, "I'll claim back a hundredfold what my family suffered." That night, no one knew what Sean endured under Tina's hands. When Tina emerged and Hayden Cohen went to check the basement, he was met with a foul stench. Sean, with his eyes rolled back and soiled in his own excrement, was still hanging on the wall.
However, this was just the beginning. Tina's promise to make Sean pay back a hundred times was no empty threat. Though she couldn't keep him there to suffer a hundred days of needle torture due to police involvement, just seven days were enough for Sean to experience hell.
Seven days later, Tina and Jared Farrell went to pick up Hugo from the hospital. The hospital TV was broadcasting the news. "Breaking news, Sean, who disappeared a week ago, was found unconscious this morning outside the East District police station, severely injured..." Hearing his name, fear was evident in Hugo's eyes, while Jennie, with a grim face, cursed, "Serves him right!" Tina noticed Hugo's uneasy yet feigned nonchalance. "Right, Tina," Jennie remembered something as they were leaving the hospital, "Did you hear about Amber suddenly transferring hospitals?" Tina, not particularly concerned about such trivial matters, replied, "I don't know." "I heard she and your grandmother all went to the capital," Jennie pondered. Just days ago, Elizabeth had been demanding money from Hugo in the hospital, and now suddenly they had enough to afford a transfer to the capital, which was much more expensive than Ensford. That afternoon, while Tina and Jared Farrell were at Ensford High School, they also heard rumors that Amber might be transferring to a school in the capital. Tina didn't take it to heart; even if Amber went to the capital, if she dared trouble her family again, Tina had ways to make her life miserable there.
More than Amber, she was concerned about something else. She wasn't at Ensford High School just to confront Amber; she was looking for someone. The last ther mother went on a mission, almost all her teammates were sacrificed, except her mother and one other person who survived. That person had disappeared afterward. Tina had received information that this person's daughter was studying at Ensford High School under a pseudonym. She was here to find her. After reviewing the student records of Ensford High School over and over, Tina still hadn't found the girl. She even doubted whether the information Cole Lyon had given her was correct. Moreover, fearing attracting the attention of the GTO, which could endanger the girl, she couldn't search too openly.
As Tina was completely disregarding Amber, less than half a month before the college entrance examination, Amber unexpectedly returned. That day, as Jared Farrell was driving Tina to school, their car was rear-ended just outside the school gate. It was more an intentional collision than an accident.
The driver, Nathan Lehman, looked stern. Having followed Jared Farrell for many years, even in the capital where no one dared to blatantly ram Jared's car, it was unexpected to encounter such boldness in Ensford. Before he could step out to confront them, the other driver approached first.
"Oh, Tina, I was so happy to see you that I accidentally sped up and damaged my brother-in-law's car. You're not mad at me, are you?" Amber's pretty face appeared outside the window.
Tina rolled down the window, calmly observing Amber outside. This person really never learns, having gone to the capital andstill cback to provoke her. After her trip to the capital, Amber seemed more confident.

Amber looked at Tina with a smile that barely concealed her desire to tear apart Tina's beautiful face, though her words were smooth, "You're not really angry, are you? It's just a car, Jared can afford to fix it. Otherwise, I can apologize to you, okay?" Before Tina could respond, a tall figure approached Amber, his demeanor arrogant, "Amber, you are the daughter of the capital's Reed family, you don't need to apologize to irrelevant nobodies." The capital's Reed family? Tina raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Your sister is also a daughter of the capital's Reed family, she deserves that?" Emrys's disdainful gaze fell on Tina.
"Yeah, Emrys is right," another man in a suit stepped down from that car, joining Amber, giving her support, "Amber don't go around claiming everyone as your sister, what kind of person can be related to you?" Tina glanced at the man, noting his resemblance to Jared Farrell.
Nathan Lehman's expression turned while sour in the driver's finalid Farrell, sitting next to next to fina, lifted his eyelids and spoke indifferently, "Nathaniel Farrell."
Tina recognized Nathaniel at first glance. In her investigations into Jared Farrell, she naturally fearned about the Farrell family as well. This man was the son of Logan's eldest son, Jared's cousin. "Jared? I am your cousin after all, you seeand don't greet me, and you talk toin that tone?"
