“I’m not acting! I sincerely mean it, Xavier!” After getting shoved aside, Yulissa threw
herself at Xavier once again. “I really don’t wish for you to die! I’ve even dreamt about
you being alive!”
Xavier was rendered speechless. With a cold sneer, he shoved her aside once again.
Josiah was having none of it. “How could you still spout your lies, Yulissa? Do you seriously
take us for a bunch of fools? Did you say you didn’t want him to die? Well, let me ask you
something. You weren’t really kidnapped that time, were you? Also, who drugged him? It
was you, wasn’t it? The night before he went out to the sea, I saw you going into his ward
on the surveillance footage. Why were you there? Oh, to temper with his phone to the
point it didn’t look like a phone anymore. You did that so that he wouldn’t be able to call
for help when he ran into trouble at sea. Am I not right, Yulissa? You’ve done everything to
plot against him! That’s including tonight, isn’t it? You ran into him on purpose! Why? Why
must you conspire with Zyon? Although Xavier is no longer into you, he has never done
anything to harm you, has he?”
“No! What happened tonight was really an accident!” Yulissa was sitting on the floor, and
her face was covered with tears. “Regarding what happened in the past, I-I was forced to
do those things. I didn’t want things to happen that way. If I didn’t listen to Zyon, I-I…”
“You won’t get your drugs, right?” Josiah asked. “Yulissa, how did you end up like this?”
Once again, Yulissa was starting to feel horrible. Wrapping herself up in her arms, she
shook her head profusely. At the same time, her lips were trembling terribly. “No. That’s
not it. I was forced. They have my grandpa. When my grandpa disappeared five years ago,
I went to look for him. That’s how I slowly become who I am today. Xavier, you know me.
You know I wasn’t like this. Although I lost my parents when I was little, I still had my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrandpa, and he loved me. Besides, I had you. I really thought I would live happily ever
after. However, they got my grandpa. At that time, your grandpa objected to our
relationship. I didn’t want to burden you, so I went to look for my grandpa on my own. You
know my grandpa was one of the best chemists. They took my grandpa because they
wanted him to make drugs for them.”
Xavier and Josiah knew Riley was one of the best chemists in the country.
Nonetheless, Xavier sneered and shot her a look. “Why are you still lying?”
“I’m not! I’m telling the truth! I swear!”
“That’s enough.” Josiah felt sad for Yulissa. “Within a year after you left Xavier, your
grandpa passed away. The country’s research institute had even made an announcement
regarding his death. Everyone in the country knows about it.”
“That’s not real! They faked my grandpa’s death because they want to stop my grandpa
from ever escaping. I can prove it to you, Xavier!”
“Is that so?” Xavier glanced at her and uttered coldly, “Prove it to me, then.”
Xavier was curious as to how Yulissa and Zyon became drug addicts. If what she said
about Professor White is true, this is huge.
“Okay! I’ll prove it to you. I’ll prove it to you now!” Yulissa then looked around and asked,
“Where’s my phone?”
Xavier shot Josiah a look.
Josiah then immediately gave Yulissa a bag. “This is yours. We took it from your car.”
Without saying a word, Yulissa took the bag and rummaged through her bag anxiously.
Her phone was just right in front of her, but she ignored it.
Josiah and Xavier shared a glance and sighed.
“Yulissa, we’re so disappointed in you. Are you looking for this?” With that, Josiah took out
a small plastic bag from his pocket.
The plastic bag was filled with white powder.
“You said you were looking for your phone, but you were actually looking for the heroine,
right? How are we supposed to trust you? You should quit it. If you carry on, you’ll ruin
your life,” Josiah advised.
However, Yulissa could not be bothered about it. “Please, Josiah! Just give me some of it. I
beg of you.”
Josiah shook his head. “I think it’s better if we keep you tied up.”
“Wait.” Xavier looked at Yulissa and asked, “You wanted to prove something to me
regarding your grandpa, right? Josiah, give her back her phone.”
“You still trust me, right?” Yulissa stared at Xavier. “Deep down, you still trust me, right?”
“Cut the crap.” Xavier had never bothered to be nice to the people he disliked.
“Okay!”
Back then, he had always looked at me indifferently. Now, he looks at me in disgust. I
don’t want to plant such an image of myself in his mind. I need to redeem myself.
After she unlocked her phone, she unlocked a few more privacy software to reveal a video
clip.
Before she tapped the play button, she looked at Xavier in fear and worry. “Xavier, if this
clip gets exposed, I’ll lose my leverage. If Zyon and the rest find out about it, they’ll surely
kill me. Even you could be in danger. Are you sure you want to watch it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXavier was amused. “Do you mean I’ll be safe if I don’t watch the clip? Haven’t you tried
to kill me time and time again?”
Yulissa could not refute, so she just hit the play button.
Josiah quickly leaned forward to watch the clip as well. When he saw the scene in the
video clip, he was dumbfounded. “Wow! That’s a huge warehouse!”
With a frown, he added, “Judging by how high the piles of stocks are, the output must be
measured in tons.”
“I guess so. I’m not so sure, either.” While watching the clip, Yulissa was reminded of the
bad memories, and her face turned pale.
Suddenly, the camera turned and showed an old man with white hair.
With reddened eyes, Yulissa remarked, “You guys know who that is, right? That’s my
grandpa. He lost one of his ears because he retaliated once. Those men then…”
Yulissa could not bring herself to finish her sentence. Lowering her head, she asked, “Do
you guys believe me now?”
Xavier looked at her and frowned. “Where is this place?”
“What?” That question took Yulissa by surprise. Why is he asking me that instead of about
how many hardships I had gone through over the years?
“I want to know the location. Where is your grandpa now?”
Yulissa shook her head dully in response. “All I know is that it’s at Jipsdale. However, I
don’t know the exact location. When I went there the last time around, I was blindfolded.
I’ve risked my life to shoot this clip! Xavier, would you be able to help me rescue my
grandpa?”
