Chapter 108

really didn’t, but I didn’t want to stay in that cage any longer either. I wanted to escape. Xavier, I beg you. Can you please forgive me?”“Forgive you?” Xavier thought he had heard the joke of the century. “Why don’t you try putting yourself in my shoes? If you were me, would you have forgiven yourself? You said you had no choice and that you were forced. Then, would you have forgiven the one who got you addicted to drugs? Can you forgive him? Can you forgive Zyon?”“No! No, I won’t!” Hatred filled Yulissa’s heart at the mention of Zyon. “I will never forgive him. Even if he kneels in front of me and begs, I will still not forgive him! I want to kill him! I want him dead!”All of a sudden, Yulissa wiped her tears dry and sat up straight.“I don’t blame you if you don’t forgive me, and I can also understand if you can’t help Grandpa. However, I now have only one request to ask from you. I beg you. Let us join forces and deal with Zyon.

Yulissa might as well be dreaming.“If you want Zyon to suffer a fate worse than death, it’s simple. You just need to lock him up in jail for eternity so he would be laboring and bullied for the rest of his life,” Xavier began. “Ever since young, he has lived a spoilt and luxurious life without any worries. He wouldn’t last a day in jail.”After a brief pause, he continued, “However, even though he had tried to kill me multiple times, he can only be charged with attempted murder since I’m still alive. This charge alone will not be enough for a lifelong sentence in jail. Therefore, he needs to be charged for selling and smuggling drugs as well. To do that, you would need to provide hard evidence. Can you do that?” “I can!” Yulissa answered confidently. “Even though it’ll be very difficult, I can think of a way to intervene in his business. Give
