Chapter 568
Tiffany was momentarily stunned.
She had known for a long time about June’s feelings for James.
After all, loving someone wasn’t something easily hidden–the way their eyes glow and shine when looking at each other always gave it away.
But June had buried her feelings too deeply. Only when she gazed at James‘ back, the love and despair in her eyes betrayed the truth.
The word love was the most hurtful of all.
Tiffany opened her mouth to speak but finally sighed instead, softly murmuring, “James, wake up!
What should really be cherished isn’t the person who doesn’t belong to you, but those who are by your side, she thought.
James let out a quiet laugh at her words, a flicker of meaning light surging in his eyes.
After a long pause, he looked at Tiffany and said, “If you knew the story of your mother and me back then, maybe… you wouldn’t say that.”
‘Ever since we first met in our youth, I have devoted myself to her with unwavering passion,‘ he thought.
Time had passed, and it had changed everything.
Selfish or not, despicable or not, he only wanted to hold onto that unfulfilled dream from years ago.
That was all.
Without another word, James gently pushed June aside, refusing her assistance. Turning away, he walked off, his tall figure gradually disappearing beyond the dark stone door.
Garry and the others arrived just in time to catch sight of his retreating silhouette. They were about to give chase when June stopped them.
“You’re just going to let him go?” Garry asked incredulously, exchanging puzzled glances with John.
Tiffany didn’t respond. She stood frozen, staring in the direction James had gone, his words echoing in her mind:“If you knew the story of your mother and me back then, maybe… you wouldn’t say that.”
‘What had happened back then?‘ she thought.
Narrowing her eyes, Tiffany resolved to ask the older generation about it when she returned.
Garry, still reluctant to let the matter rest, opened his mouth to press further. But under Richard’s piercing, ice–cold glare, he fell silent, swallowing any objections.
“Let’s go,” Tiffany said calmly, taking June’s arm and walking away at an unhurried pace.
As for the altar behind them, Richard smirked and, with a flick of his hand, set it ablaze, leaving nothing but ash.
They exited the ancient building, retracing their steps back to their vehicle.
Then they left behind the so–called forbidden land.
On the way back, June, her injuries severe, collapsed as her knees gave out.

Tiffany carefully cased her into the car, instructing her men to take June to the hospital immediately.
Thankfully, Tiffany had already fed her spirit herbs. With the protective properties of the spirit herbs, the wound wouldn’t be life–threatening.
The henchman nodded and immediately carried out the order.
Tiffany got into another car.
On the way back to the Azure Sea Palace, Garry couldn’t help but ask, “Tiffany, why did we let that man go?”
He didn’t know the man’s identity–only that he was more likely a foe than a friend.
Without hesitation, Tiffany replied, “I owe him.”
After so many years of learning under him, even if there were ulterior motives involved, the sentiment couldn’t be entirely erased.
But she would only let him go just this once, and from now on, they owed each other nothing.
Garry still didn’t fully understand her words. Hesitating slightly, he asked, “By the way, Tiffany, didn’t you say you were looking for something? Did you find it?”
Tiffany opened her palm, revealing a small, transparent glass bottle. Inside, a colorful spider lay dormant.
Once they returned to the palace, Tiffany hurried inside, her steps brisk.
In mere seconds, all the red threads covering the king’s body were gone, and his skin returned to normal, as if the deadly threads had never existed.
