366 Putting her enemies to rest
“Jeslyn what rubbish game are you playing with our lives?!!” Christine screamed. Jeslyn was driving her crazy.
“I already told you, if you don’t want to get out, you can remain there… Ah, before I forget, Code 5 isn’t awake yet and his men are very angry at you. Once I leave, I promise you, they’ll come in here to rip you two apart. Trust me, Christine, you won’t be able to endure the torture.”
Just after Jeslyn finished her words, Emilee put the sword against her own neck but before she could kill herself, Jeslyn’s chuckle rang.
“Kill yourself and you both die.”
Christine didn’t want to die. She gritted her teeth as ideas ran through her mind. Killing Emilee would mean that she’d be free and after that, she can get back at Jeslyn.
“Alpha Chaos, spoiling her this much will-”
“Chunk!”
Before she could finish her words, Emilee felt a sharp object pierce through her. When she looked at the person who stabbed her, it was her flesh and blood!
Christine and Jeslyn froze when they both realized what Christine had done. She stabbed her sister from the side of her stomach!
Emilee laughed out loud after a long pause before slowly going down on her knees while holding her sister for support. From her voice, one could feel her heartbreak and disappointment.
“D- do you think she’ll let you off after killing me?” She coughed out blood.
Christine was shivering. She had no idea what pushed her to do it. But she didn’t want to die.
“I… I” She couldn’t form words no matter how hard she tried.
“I loved you,” Emilee confessed. “You, Chichi, and Mom were why I continued to struggle… I know I made a lot of mistakes along the way but I have no regrets.”
Christine burst into tears. For more than twenty years, she had waited to hear those words from her sister. All along, she thought her sister hated her and was only taking advantage of her but now…
“Si… sister…” she went on her knees in front of Emilee.
Emilee cupped her sister’s face and said, “I don’t blame you, everything started with me and I hope…” She looked at Jeslyn.
Jeslyn had no iota of sympathy on her face even though the sisters were soliciting pity with their -behavior.
“You won… let her go like you… promised”
Jesiyn laughed out loud when she heard that. “Won? Did you misunderstand something? We are not in a competition, sis.” She chuckled as she walked into the cell and squatted in front of Emilee after pushing Christine aside.
Emilee has lost a lot of blood and she was starting to feel dizzy. “What else do you want, Jeslyn?” She managed to ask.
“What do I want? Don’t you think I deserve an explanation and an apology for killing my grandfather?!” Emotions laced her tone while holding back her tears.
“Haha…” Emilee tried to laugh. “What other explanation do you want? I killed him just so I could get my hands on the Lee family’s properties.” She chuckled out blood.
Jeslyn smiled and nodded. “That was what I thought. You can’t possibly have another reason for being so vile.”
“Vile…” Emilee enunciated the word. “You’re more evil now, I don’t hold a candle to your husband… Jeslyn, I should have killed you.”
Jeslyn smiled, “I know too… But it’s too late to regret.” Just before she got up, “Paaah!” She smacked Emilee’s face and said, “I’ve been dying to do that. Rest in pieces, sister.” She called the last word with so much mockery that for the first time, Emilee felt it.
Did she have regrets? Yes, she surely does but will never admit it.
“Sister, sister, please I’m sorry!” Christine rushed to her sister on her knees but it was too late, Emilee fell limply on her and stopped breathing.
“Sister!!!!!!!”
“Jeslyn, please help me! Get a doctor, please! Sister… Don’t do this to me, please!!!”
Those words pulled Jeslyn’s mind back to the day her grandfather died. Those words of pleas, her helplessness, and sorrow washed over her as tears slowly slid down her cheeks. She had finally taken her revenge but she felt no happiness.
“Grandfather,” she mumbled under her breath.
Maverick pulled her out of the cell and hugged her.
Christine cried for a long time before a few doctors arrived.
“Ma’am, Master,” they bowed to Maverick and Jeslyn.
“Mn, she’s ready,” Jeslyn said. She has long stopped crying.
The doctors entered the cell, surprising Christine. She rushed to the bars of the cell and screamed, “Jeslyn! What are you-”
“I told you about the good kids at the hospital, they need to live on.”
Christine chuckled with rage, “You never intended to let us off!”
“Of course, I intended to let one person off as I promised, but it was certainly not you and your sister.” “Then why did you allow me to kill her?!!!”
“Did I ask you to kill her? When did I say it was a battle royale?”
“You said only one person would-”
“Yes, I said that. Had you asked questions instead of assuming, you would have understood. A sincere apology would have gotten Young Master Wu out but that wasn’ta guarantee to his safety though, my
husband could have killed him, who knows?” She smirked.
“Jeslyn, you are a monster!!!”
“Exactly! But it’s not my fault you couldn’t turn into a skillful monster. You shouldn’t have tempted me repeatedly, Christine. If your mistakes weren’t much, I would have forgiven you. But, it’s unfortunate, your father, mother, you, and your sister aren’t worthy of forgiveness because you lack empathy. You know nothing about repenting. Even though I let you off, you won’t stop bothering me and I don’t have the energy to keep fighting enemies.”
Before Christine could talk, Jeslyn beat her to it. She said to the doctors, “Take care of her. Let her donate willingly, so it doesn’t look like we are harvesting organs.”
Christine was shaking all over due to how furious she was. Even her laughter was filled with rage. “Haha, Jeslyn, you will forever be what you say you’re not! A murderer, a kidnapper, an organ harvester! You are evil!!!”
