Chapter 107 Joanna Laughs Last

"Hmm… did I poison your food, your drinks or your spoon?" Joanna trailed pretending to be in deep thoughts.

Seeing them in suspense and fear of their lives gave her a sense of satisfaction.

She has suffered so much in their hands for as long as she can remember. And now she has come back they want to still do the same thing, why?

Why should she always be the one to suffer? Why can't it be the other way around?

These are the questions that lead her to do what she did today and she is loving every bit of it.

"You evil witch, how dare you to poison us…,"

"Be careful ok because talking and moving will only accelerate the rate of the poison. Although you are still gonna die I still want to see you live even a minute more, my dearest stepsister," Joanna said smirking devilishly.

She used her index finger to push Laura on the forehead, causing her to lay back on the couch.

"You are evil and I am gonna make sure to kill you for this…arrghh…," Adhara's mean words were replaced by a scream of anguish.

She grabbed her hurting stomach with both hands.

"Yeah, I am evil and… I won't deny it but compared to your evilness I guess I am still an amateur or don't you agree with me, stepmother?" Joanna now standing in front of Adhara asked.

Her evil grin never left her face as she tormented the two ladies.

"And besides me and you who do you think is gonna die first? I mean aren't you the one who is poisoned huh?"

"Do you think you are gonna go scot-free after poisoning us? Hell no, you won't even though you managed to succeed with your plans?" Laura said trying to instil fear in Joanna.

If only she knew that her threats wouldn't work on Joanna then she would have saved the strength of talking.

"The police is gonna come for you and the maids and security guards will make you pay…,"

"Will there be evidence of my crime if the plates used in serving the food are properly disposed of?" Joanna asked, there was no fear in her eyes as she spoke.

"Also, who do you think the maids and security guards will choose. Is it the old Madam and Young Mistress who treats them like animals or the new Madam of the house which will be me?" Joanna asked, her gaze darted from the petrified Laura to her awestruck stepmother.

Seeing that she was well prepared to kill them made Laura and Adhara go quiet.

"I would have loved to stay here and see you both breathe your last but unfortunately I have an appointment to catch," Joanna said as she started walking away.

"Hey, are you just leaving like that what about the antidote," Laura shouted, the thought of dying scared her?

Joanna smiled when she heard Laura's scared tone. She turned and look in their direction.

"Do you think you would have still been talking right now if I had really poisoned the food?" Joanna's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"You…," Adhara glared at Joanna. At that moment she felt like strangling herself to death.

"It's true that I added some substance into your food and drinks which is why all of you are in this helpless state. I didn't do this because I like you or what not…," Joanna trailed smirking.

"I might not have poisoned your food this time around but that doesn't mean that I won't do it if you guys don't watch the way you treat me in this house".

Joanna strolled away with swag after making sure that her message sunk into their head.

Laura turned to look at her mother whose condition seems to to have worsened than hers.

"Did she just do this to us and even dared to scare us with poisoning?" Laura asked still in disbelief that they got dealt with by the girl they always looked down on.

"To have been able to do this to us then she is nothing but the reincarnation of the devil. She is demonic, Mum".

Adhara was too ashamed to talk despite that Laura was talking to her.

She has always thought that everything in this world was within her grasp but she knew she was wrong after today's incident.

Although she is smart and always alert she didn't see this coming.

Had she known that one day she will end up getting bullied by the girl she has used as her punching bag these years then she would have long slit her throat with a knife.

"For this humiliation, I am gonna make sure she dies a painful death. I will achieve this no matter what it might cost me," Adhara muttered with a clasped fist.

…

Walking on the streets Joanna couldn't stop herself from smiling and this caused everyone who passed by her to stop and stared at her.

"Hahaha… I have always heard people say that the one who laughs last laughs best but never know what it meant until today. It feels so awesome to be the one laughing last," Joanna mumbled as she walked on the less busy road.

She didn't stop smiling even when she got to Audrey's apartment.

"Anna, why is it that you are always smiling lately each time I see you? What's your secret?" Audrey asked the girl that just sat down on her bed.

"Don't you like that I am happy or would you prefer to see me in tears always…,"

"I love it. It's because I want to smile every day like you that is why I am asking," Audrey replied jokingly.

"Trying having a stepmother who wants nothing other than your downfall every day and you…,"

"Did something else happened other than the one you told me on the phone or is this…,"

"Girl, why are you such a bad host huh? You didn't offer me anything but starts asking me question…,"

"You know I don't have anything but if you want blood I don't mind giving…,"

"Hey!" Joanna jumped onto Audrey's body and started playfully hitting her.

"You can hit me as much as you want later but right now you must tell me all that happened at home. I am dying of curiosity if you don't know," Audrey said as she grabbed Joanna's hand.

Joanna climbed down from Audrey's body and arranged her clothes. She started relaying what happened afterwards.

Although it was just the story of what happened that she was telling, she had so much fun reliving that moment.

Joanna stayed in Audrey's apartment that day. Knowing very well that none will care whether or not she returned home she spent the night there.

The next day the moment Joanna woke up the first thing that was on her mind was Kayden's surprise.

She waited for him to appear beside her like he is fun of doing but throughout the entire morning he didn't show up.
