Sarah deliberated for moments before saying, "Queeny, if you don't come back with me, you don't have anywhere to go, do you? Aren't those friends of yours... all dead?"
Yes, those people who she believed were her good friends either sold her out or... died.
Felix killed them with his own hands.
She would never forget the look they gave her before they died.
That look showed how anguished they felt when they thought they were betrayed by someone they trusted completely.
It was not until then that Queeny realized the Dragon Club was not the only one who thought she was the mole that stole the crucial classified files. In fact, the Rosefinch Club also believed that given her special relationship with Felix, in the confrontation of the two parties, she eventually submitted to her soft spot and helped him in secret.
That was why her friends in the Rosefinch Club all accused her of betraying them before they died.
They demanded, "Queeny, we see you as our sister. Why did you stab us in the back?"
Why?
Heh! Who could know?
Queeny had been sandwiched between the two parties through the whole thing.
She remained neutral and helped neither side, for the stronger one would win either way in the end.
Therefore, she didn't know who stole the files and spilled the secrets of the two parties to lead things to this point.
Yet, the only thing she was sure of was that Felix refused when she desperately pleaded with him to let her friends live after the Rosefinch Club was defeated.
That cold look Felix wore at that time was indelible in her memory.
It was as if the ten years they had spent together had thoroughly become bygones.
The sweet moments they shared had also vaporized.
To Felix, Queeny had changed from his best partner to the most hateful traitor overnight.
He locked her up. During her imprisonment, he interrogated her numerous times, hoping to find out if she stole the files.
Queeny denied. But that only vexed Felix, because he thought she was lying to him.
After all, the evidence he had gathered through his private investigation clearly said she did it.
Before their falling-out, Queeny was the only one person he fully trusted. Thus, other than him, only she knew where those files were and how to get the key to the safe.
Therefore, Queeny's denial was rather flimsy.
What was more, Felix had even killed her friends.
He knew she had every reason to seek revenge.
Queeny fell silent when all the evidence was laid out in front of her.
Though she knew she was definitely not the thief, no one would believe her other than such concrete proof.
She gave up defending herself and remained completely silent. Felix just took it that she had tacitly acknowledged her sin.
Thus, he never came to visit her.
During the six months of Queeny's imprisonment, the two were like two icebergs living on the opposite poles. They didn't see each other once.
Queeny didn't know what Felix was thinking or what he planned to do to her.
"Would he kill me? Or punish me in some other ways?"
She couldn't answer, nor did she want to consider those issues.
She just lived like a walking corpse.
But one day, a woman showed up before her.
This woman looked kind of like her. But compared with the refined Queeny, this woman seemed more alluring. She had a slender figure and a smiley face. At a glance, one could tell she was a fun, lovely girl.
She stood in front of Queeny and eyed her condescendingly. Then, she let out a cry of surprise, as though she only stumbled into this place by accident.
"Who are you? Why are you locked up here?"
The woman in a gorgeous dress clamped her hands over her mouth. She even took a step back as if she had been frightened by Queeny.
