Xavier was rendered speechless. With a cold sneer, he shoved her aside once again.
Josiah was having none of it. “How could you still spout your lies, Yulissa? Do you seriously take us for a bunch of fools? Did you say you didn’t want him to die? Well, let me ask you something. You weren’t really kidnapped that time, were you? Also, who drugged him? It was you, wasn’t it? The night before he went out to the sea, I saw you going into his ward on the surveillance footage. Why were you there? Oh, to temper with his phone to the point it didn’t look like a phone anymore. You did that so that he wouldn’t be able to call for help when he ran into trouble at sea. Am I not right, Yulissa? You’ve done everything to plot against him! That’s including tonight, isn’t it? You ran into him on purpose! Why? Why must you conspire with Zyon? Although Xavier is no longer into you, he has never done anything to harm you, has he?”
“No! What happened tonight was really an accident!” Yulissa was sitting on the floor, and her face was covered with tears. “Regarding what happened in the past, I-I was forced to do those things. I didn’t want things to happen that way. If I didn’t listen to Zyon, I-I…”
“You won’t get your drugs, right?” Josiah asked. “Yulissa, how did you end up like this?”
Once again, Yulissa was starting to feel horrible. Wrapping herself up in her arms, she shook her head profusely. At the same time, her lips were trembling terribly. “No. That’s not it. I was forced. They have my grandpa. When my grandpa disappeared five years ago, I went to look for him. That’s how I slowly become who I am today. Xavier, you know me. You know I wasn’t like this. Although I lost my parents when I was little, I still had my grandpa, and he loved me. Besides, I had you. I really thought I would live happily ever after. However, they got my grandpa. At that time, your grandpa objected to our relationship. I didn’t want to burden you, so I went to look for my grandpa on my own. You know my grandpa was one of the best chemists. They took my grandpa because they wanted him to make drugs for them.”
Xavier and Josiah knew Riley was one of the best chemists in the country.
Nonetheless, Xavier sneered and shot her a look. “Why are you still lying?”
“I’m not! I’m telling the truth! I swear!”
“That’s enough.” Josiah felt sad for Yulissa. “Within a year after you left Xavier, your grandpa passed away. The country’s research institute had even made an announcement regarding his death. Everyone in the country knows about it.”
“That’s not real! They faked my grandpa’s death because they want to stop my grandpa from ever escaping. I can prove it to you, Xavier!”
“Is that so?” Xavier glanced at her and uttered coldly, “Prove it to me, then.”
Xavier was curious as to how Yulissa and Zyon became drug addicts. If what she said about Professor White is true, this is huge.
“Okay! I’ll prove it to you. I’ll prove it to you now!” Yulissa then looked around and asked, “Where’s my phone?”
Xavier shot Josiah a look.
Josiah then immediately gave Yulissa a bag. “This is yours. We took it from your car.”
Without saying a word, Yulissa took the bag and rummaged through her bag anxiously.
Her phone was just right in front of her, but she ignored it.
Josiah and Xavier shared a glance and sighed.
“Yulissa, we’re so disappointed in you. Are you looking for this?” With that, Josiah took out a small plastic bag from his pocket.
The plastic bag was filled with white powder.
