Chapter 586 Begging for Mercy
This is the last time I’ll call out to you like this, the last time I’ll beg you,” Miriam pled.
“Do whatever you want with me, even if it means my life…” “But for all the years we’ve shared as husband and
wife, please help me find my daughter.”
Miriam was at a loss. With Clarence’s death, all leads had dried The only person Miriam could turn to was Jefferson.
The air grew tense, Miriam’s heart pounding with anxiety as she awaited Jefferson’s reply. His heavy sigh broke the
silence. “I understand.” “One more thing,” choked out Miriam, her voice trembling softly. “Helping
Clarence wasn’t because I didn’t trust you. My daughter was in his hands. If I hadn’t agreed, I feared she would get
hurt.”

seen as merely waiting for death, had a different meaning.”
Jefferson clenched his fists behind his back, his eyes rimmed with red. Robert stepped out of the elevator,
witnessing the scene. He feigned ignorance and chose to remain silent. Soon after, Robert received instructions
to arrange a private jet to fly Miriam back to Kovis overnight. News like this couldn’t be hidden. It spread like
wildfire, with rumors swirling.
Janus and Drew rushed to Robert to confirm the news. Upon learning the truth, Drew burst into tears.
“Why would mom do this? I can’t understand,” Drew wept. Robert shook his head. “I don’t know the specifics, I just
saw your father walk away with tears in his eyes.”
“What’s dad going to do with mom?” Drew had never imagined a time when her mother would be punished by her
father. “Will he turn her over to the courts? Or will he convict her himself…”
Robert shook his head again. “He didn’t say, only asked me to arrange a flight to take your mother back to Kovis.”
“She must be taken back to Kovis for further action. What do we do now…” Drew quickly turned to Janus, reaching
out to him in desperation.
“Janus, say something! What do we do? Do you want to just stand by and watch as mom is imprisoned? Think of a
solution, quick!” Drew was frantically pacing, like an ant on a hot pan.
“What can I say? Mom already admitted that she poisoned someone, that she was in league with Clarence.”
“Zayla is still lying in bed, her life
hanging in the balance. What do you
expect me to do? Beg dad or Lincoln for mercy at a time like this?” Drew paused. “Beg for mercy! Right, we can

the line of fire!”
“But…”
“You must listen to me this time, I’m your brother!” “You’re my brother, yes, you’re my brother! But so is Lincoln!
Even if
Lincoln isn’t mom’s biological son, she raised him! Would Lincoln abandon his family ties for Zayla?” Hearing Drew’s
words, Janus grabbed her by the shoulders. “Drew, don’t you get it?”
“This is serious. If Zayla was physically hurt, we could still beg for mercy!” “But that’s an ancient poison. Didn’t you
hear what Uncle said? Even Ward is helpless!”
“If we don’t find an antidote, Zayla might not survive! You know how much Lincoln cares for her!” “Do we have the
right to ask him to forgive someone who tried to kill the woman he loves, all for our selfish reasons?
