When Donnie arrived at the meeting point, he found Madam White sitting in a chair, her legs draped in a thick wool blanket. Her face was deathly pale.

“Congratulations on getting what you wanted. I brought a gift for Yorian.”

Donnie pulled out a small teddy bear, his smile radiating a faux warmth.

Madam White didn’t respond.

A jolt of unease shot through Donnie. His instincts as an old fox flared, a dark premonition taking root, His gaze slowly traveled downward, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

He finally realized what was wrong.

There were no feet visible beneath the chair.

Panic flared in his chest. Just as he turned to bolt, Madam White drew a gun from beneath the blanket and fired.

Bang.

The bullet struck him square in the chest.

Donnie let out a pained grunt and collapsed to the floor. “You… you…”

Madam White offered a pale, trembling smile. “I’m sorry. But I have to do this for my da

He spat out a mouthful of blood. Driven by a primal survival instinct, he tried to scramble away, clutching his chest as he stumbled toward the exit.

Another shot rang out.

Madam White fired again.

Her expression had turned completely manic. “I only care about Yorian living!“.

As Donnie drew his final, rattling breath, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the shadows. He looked up, his eyes wide with a lack of surprise.

“It’s you… cough…”

He spat out more blood. A normal man would have been dead after two shots to the chet, but he refused to let go. He couldn’t accept that he had lost so completely.

“Why…”

Jasper looked down at him, his expression cold. Then, he extended a foot and ground the heel of his shoe into Donnie’s face.

“Why?” Jasper sneered. “You shouldn’t have tried to replace her with a fake. That was your fatal mistake.”

To Jasper. Tatiana was unique in all the world. No one could ever replace her. Not even with an identical skin.

Donnie’s pupils grew unfocused, his breath fading into nothingness. With his last ounce of strength, he managed one final sentence:

“I haven’t lost…”

Then he died, his eyes fixed in a sightless, frozen stare.

Madam White couldn’t have cared less about Donnie’s fate. She only knew she had fulfilled her end of the bargain. She looked at Jasper with frantic, wide eyes. “Yorian? How is Yorian doing?!”

Jasper didn’t answer.

Madam White suddenly understood. She swung her gun toward him, her voice shrieked with hysteria. “You lied to me?!”

Jasper slowly looked up. His eyes were dark, void of emotion, looking at her as if she were already a corpse.

“Where is my Yorian?! What did you do to her?! Answer me! If anything happens to her, I’ll kill you!”

After a long silence, he let a cold smile touch his lips. “He was right. You really are an idiot.

“Agh!”

Madam White pulled the trigger repeatedly.

But the gun clicked on empty chambers. He had calculated exactly how many shots she would fire at Donnie and how many she would save for him. The remaining rounds were all blanks.

Chapter 382 The Final Settlement

The fog in Madam White’s mind finally cleared. She began to laugh and cry simultaneously, tossing the gim aside and crawling off the chair. She used her hands and the stumps of her limbs to drag herself toward him, moving like a grotesque, writhing insect.

“Give Yorian back to me!”
