That was the reason why Essie came looking for Yesseca.
What Essie did not expect was that Yesseca was much harder to persuade than she had expected.
Essie had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
If Yesseca didn't do anything, Lothar would probably turn into ashes soon. That was why Essie had no choice but to carry out the plan herself. She wanted to take Selina's heart out of her chest with her own hands.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
It was all under Matthew's expectation.
Matthew had not gone on a business trip at all. Instead, he had set up a trap that Essie had so blindly jumped into.
Sadness pooled in Essie's eyes.
She had been learning witchcraft from an early age.
She had practiced for hours and hours.
For that reason alone, she had no friends.
Everyone who knew her had said that she was strange.
When she was a child and wanted to play with other children, they'd mocked and laughed at her, saying that she was a monster and wasn't willing to play with her.
Essie was truly very lonely.
Then she had moved out and lived alone in Agaphen City.
She had bought a TV.
When she was bored, she would watch TV to kill time.
It was on one of those days she saw Lothar on TV.
Lothar was just a small actor, he acted as a cameo in a drama she watched.
But she felt that he was very good-looking, even better looking than the male lead of the drama.
He had a pair of eyes that seemed to come to life itself and a row of white teeth.
Essie had watched the drama over and over again.
Just to look at Lothar.
She knew that some people would be fans of the celebrity that they liked.
At that time, she had the impulse to follow Lothar and be his fan, but after some thought, she gave up.
She was a strange person who practiced witchcraft.
She felt that she wasn't qualified to be a celebrity's fan.
However, there was one day that she found a man being washed up to the shore.
The man's face was beaten beyond recognition.
But she still recognized him.
He was Lothar!
Essie tried her best to save Lothar.
She had spent some time with Lothar.
Although Lothar's face was no longer the same as before, Essie still felt that Lothar was still the same actor she saw on TV.
The short time she had spent with Lothar was Essie's happiest moment in her whole life.
She never knew that it felt so good to have company.
Only then did she realize how lonely she had always been.
But later, everything had changed.
Because Lothar had wanted to save Selina.
Essie didn't agree.
But later on, Lothar had knelt down to beg her.
Essie finally relented.
It was only when Lothar passed away that Essie began to regret what she had done.
She returned to how it was before, being all alone again.
That loneliness was unbearable.
Essie figured she had to bring Lothar back to life.
In order to bring Lothar back to life, she would do anything.
When she lied to Yesseca, she felt very guilty.
