Chapter 17
Justin stood before Selena and watched her for a long time.
When Selena sensed the lingering gaze on her, her sluggish mind slowly processed it, and she gradually focused her vision in that direction.
It was Justin.

In an instant, as if grasping onto hope, she lunged forward and clung to his leg. “Justin! I know I did wrong. I swear! Please, let me go! I beg you! I’ll change! I’ll never do those things again!
“Everything I did before was on me. I’ll do anything as long as you forgive me. Justin, please save me. Don’t do this anymore. I’m so scared… I’m really scared…”
Selena’s tears streamed down her face. The fear in her eyes was unmistakably real.
But did she still deserve forgiveness? Norah had lost everything.
At that thought, Justin remained unmoved. He only gazed at Selena in her pitiful state. “As long as you do one last thing, you and Norah will be even. I’ll forgive you then.”
It was an offer Selena couldn’t refuse. To escape this hellish room, she was willing to do anything.
She nodded frantically and gazed at him deeply. “I’ll do anything! Justin… Justin… Please forgive me. I’ve always loved you.”
Justin let out a cold laugh but said nothing about what she had to do. He simply turned and left the basement.
Selena soon found out what Justin meant.

A pungent smell filled her nose when someone doused the basement with gasoline. As her face turned pale, a fire was ruthlessly ignited.
Selena’s expression shifted from one of love to terror.
The roaring flames… It was just like that day.
“Justin! Justin, you can’t do this! Justin! I was wrong! I was wrong!” She pounded on the door, begging for help as thick smoke and blazing flames surrounded her. She cried in despair, but no one answered her pleas.
In the end, her expression twisted into hatred. As the fire consumed her, she went mad, cursing everyone in a frenzy.
Why had Norah done such terrible things, yet Justin still clung to her, unable to let go? Why was she tortured like this when all she wanted was happiness?
It was all Justin’s and Norah’s fault!
“Justin, you’ll die a horrible death! You will never have Norah! She will never love you!”
The flames engulfed Selena, and soon, all her vicious curses were silenced.
The fire burned for an entire day. Just like that day, everything in the basement was reduced to ruins. Only when the last embers had died out did the tightly shut door finally open.
Selena’s body was charred black, and her face was completely destroyed. It was horrifying beyond words.
But she was still breathing. The fire had never been meant to kill her. It was meant to torment her.
Justin cast a glance at her and called for Jeremy.
“Since she wants to stay by my side, make sure she understands that my eyes only see Norah.
“Send her to a plastic surgery clinic.”
On the ground, Selena couldn’t utter a single word. Her eyes, wide open, were filled with venomous hatred.
Her entire body was reconstructed, and her face underwent bone shaving and reshaping–bit by bit, molded into Norah’s likeness.
Since everyone knew she was nothing but Justin’s plaything, no one showed mercy.
The endless agony continued day and night. It wasn’t until the third day that Selena’s face was fully repaired, and the treatment for her burns began.
She was completely healed three months later. Her face no longer bearing any trace of her former self, she now looked exactly like Norah.
When Selena stared at the face in the mirror, she smashed everything within reach like a lunatic, screaming in a fit of rage.
The dream home she once longed for had become her prison.
No one cared about her breakdown. Jeremy merely notified her, “Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Johnson will be back soon.”
Just those few words made Selena shed tears of terror instantly.
