She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 320

“Name?” Sabrina demanded, her tone sharp with impatience.

There were so many people with the last name Lawrence. Did they really expect her to track down each one, one by one?

Hester swallowed hard. She didn’t want to answer, but she had no choice.

Sabrina was insane—if she didn’t cooperate, this woman might really torture her until she wished she were dead.

“My adoptive parents… Jude Lawrence and Faith Lynn.”

That was the answer Sabrina wanted.

A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, but just as quickly, her expression turned cold and unreadable.

She turned to leave, tossing one last warning over her shoulder. “You’d better be telling the truth. Otherwise…”

The moment Sabrina disappeared, Hester was subjected to another round of “special attention.”

Her head was forced underwater again and again, her body fighting for air in the darkness.

From then on, every day blurred into another nightmare, endless and suffocating.

……

There was just one day left before the start of the new semester.

Bryce was helping Sabrina investigate Hester’s background.

Initially, Sabrina planned to look into it herself—after all, this involved the Sutton family, and she didn’t want others getting in the way. But Bryce insisted on helping track down Hester’s adoptive parents, saying he already considered Sabrina a little sister.

“And what are big brothers for, if not to help their sisters?” he’d said with a crooked smile.

Sabrina didn’t mind the extra help. With the semester starting, her only free time to visit Woodville would be on the weekends. Bryce, on the other hand, could leave for Woodville immediately.

That settled it—she’d wait for Bryce’s news.

Today, Sabrina spent the entire day at Jocelyn Holt’s place.

Yvette and Lennox Yeager stuck to her like glue, dragging her from games to snacks and back again. The two of them made it their mission not to let her leave.

Jocelyn filled her in on Jenna: she was doing well at the country club, had earned a raise and a promotion—she was a manager now.

That evening, after Jenna finished work, they all had dinner together.

Only after dinner did Sabrina finally make her way home.

The night was perfectly still.

As for Sommer—ever since she’d come home from the hospital, she barely left her room. Even her meals were brought upstairs by Martha.

The scars on her body were hard to look at, so she avoided everyone, shutting herself away.

Desmond had taken to sleeping in the study, unable to face his wife’s injuries. His avoidance only drove Sommer further up the wall, but there was nothing she could do except simmer in her own frustration.

Sommer had booked a flight out of the country for tonight, heading abroad to have her scars treated. The thought that Sabrina wouldn’t have to see her when she got home from school was oddly satisfying.

Desmond left for work early every morning, so the Sutton house was more peaceful than ever.

Sabrina reached the school gates at 7:58 AM.

At this hour, most students were already in their classrooms for morning reading. Although there was no official session for the first day of term, seniors still had to show up for early study.

The only people on the path were a handful of notorious latecomers, sprinting from the gate toward the main building. No matter how fast they ran, it still took three minutes to reach their classrooms—they’d be marked late either way.

It was rare to see someone like Sabrina, walking in unhurried even though she was clearly late.

She glanced at her watch. Eight o’clock, right on the dot.

She was already late—what difference would a few more minutes make? Honestly, she’d never understood why latecomers bothered running at all.
