“Isaid that’s enough, Emilia!” Jeremy shouted, standing up in anger.

I sneered as I looked at him. “You’re so unwilling to spare Julianne some money, yet you had the nerve to ask me to trade my life for hers?”

“Who said you would need to trade your life?” Jeremy retorted irritatedly. “All you had to do was follow Irvin’s plan-”

He abruptly stopped. He didn’t finish because he knew Irvin’s plan had gone wrong. In fact, they all knew this. If I hadn’t acted first and taken down Ms. Plume, I would likely be dead tight now.

They kept telling me I shouldn’t have escaped and should have just gone along with the exchange. Yet here they were, unwilling to give Julianne their money. They were supposed to be closest to her and loved her the most, so what right did they have to ask me to give up my life for her?

They were in the wrong, yet they still had the audacity to blame me. But now that I had turned the moral argument against them, they didn’t know how to continue.

Just moments ago, they had come at me so aggressively. It was as though they had wanted to tear me apart. Yet now, they were eerily silent.

Truthfully, they behaved this way because I had been too permissive with them in the past. I had been so desperate for their love that I always gave in and tolerated them. I had allowed them to walk all over me for so long that it became second nature to them.

Even now, I still couldn’t let them go. Their words still hurt me.

That being said, I no longer desired their affection. Thus, I would no longer back down. I wasn’t going to them even an inch!

They could emotionally blackmail me all they wanted. I could play that game too.

My strategy was simple–it was better to take out my frustration on them instead of bottling it up. I would rather be called crazy than suffer in silence.

Julianne arrived just when the atmosphere became painfully silent and awkward. A nurse was supporting her as she could barely walk on her own. In all honesty, she looked terrible.

However, I didn’t feel sorry for her, nor did I feel any sympathy. As a woman, I couldn’t bear to see another woman suffer such harm. But when it came to her, I didn’t have the same sentiment.

I wasn’t a saint. I was just an ordinary person. So why would I sympathize with someone who wishes me dead?

Julianne’s eyes burned with rage as she glanced at me.

She was the mastermind behind this kidnapping incident, so she should have been perfectly fine. And yet, here I

was, lying comfortably in a nice hospital room without a single scratch. Meanwhile, she had been violated repeatedly.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t reign in her hatred. If looks could kill, I would have been torn to shreds by her gaze ages ago.

She couldn’t figure out why I was so lucky and managed to escape from death’s door time and time again.
