Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1533

Colby picked up the recorder, gave it a quick look, and then set it on the table next to him.

Gina, clearly on edge, pleaded, "Everything I've said is true. I was cornered! Mr. Colby, if you let me go, I swear I won't breathe a word..."

Colby cut her off with a cold, "I trust the dead more than the living."

Gina's face went even paler at those words.

"But I'm willing to give you a shot at staying alive," he added.

Hearing this, Gina quickly blurted out, "I'll do anything, just please don't kill me!"

"Come here."

Colby's voice was calm but commanding as he spoke those words. Gina, not daring to disobey, approached him cautiously.

Before she could process what was happening, Colby had already injected her arm with a syringe.

Seeing the needle mark, Gina's eyes filled with terror. "Mr. Colby! Have mercy! Please, spare me!"

Anyone who had spent time overseas knew exactly what this drug was. Colby had built an untouchable reputation with it. He never used it on his own people, only those who he suspected might betray him. The drug required regular doses, or else it caused excruciating pain, like being pierced by a thousand needles.

Gina never imagined Colby would use such drastic measures on her, just a girl caught in the wrong place.

"I despise betrayal, so this is the only way I can feel secure," he explained.

"Mr. Colby... I'm not one of them, you have to believe me! I don't want to die; I just needed the money. I was just doing a job! I didn't mean to get tangled up with you!"

No matter what Gina said, Colby's expression remained unchanged, as if she were nothing more than furniture.

"I don't like repeating myself, and I've already told you that once, haven't I?"
