Jennie hesitated and thought for a while, then said, "Sister, if you don't go back with me, you have nowhere else to go now! Your former friends...aren’t they all dead?"
Yeah, those good friends, or at least those that she once thought were, had either betrayed her or...died.
They had died at the hands of that man himself.
She would never forget the look they had given her before dying. It had been a look of betrayal even though they had trusted her with all of their heart.
Only then did she learn that not only the people from the Dragon Regiment thought that she was a spy and had stolen important information from the Dragon Regiment, but even the people from the Vermilion Bird Organization thought she had a special relationship with Gregory. When the two organizations met, they finally could not resist the temptation and secretly helped him.
Therefore, they questioned her before they died.
They had said, “Vickie, we treat you like you’re our biological sister, so why would you betray us?”
Why?
Ha! Who knows why?
It was because, from the start, she was just a stalk of grass that was stuck in between the two organizations.
She had a neutral standpoint and did not help anyone, merely speaking with her own strength.
Therefore, she also did not know who had leaked the secrets of the two parties in the first place, which eventually led to the situation evolving as such.
The only certainty was that, in the end, when the Vermillion Bird Organization was defeated, she had begged Gregory to let her friends go, but he did not.
She would never forget the cold expression on his face at that time. It almost seemed as if the past ten years never existed.
Those moments of affection between the two of them also disappeared.
In his eyes, she seemed to have changed from his best friend to the most hated criminal in just one night.
He had imprisoned her, and during that time, he had asked her countless times whether it was she who had stolen the information.
When she did not admit it, he had gotten angry and thought that she was lying to him.
After all, after checking, almost all the evidence was pointing towards her.
Before this had happened, she had been the only person that he trusted. Except for himself, only she knew the location of the information. She could have also gotten the key. Therefore, her denial seemed to be ineffective.
Besides, he had also killed her friends, so she had a good reason to take revenge.
When all the evidence was in front of Vickie, she had nothing to say.
Although she knew in her heart that it was not her who had done it, the evidence was there, thus she had no way of explaining.
She stopped explaining and just remained completely silent. Because of this, in the eyes of others, it was a silent confirmation.
He never came to her again.
After she was imprisoned there for half a year, the two were like two icebergs separated by a world. One was inside while the other was outside, never to meet again.
She knew neither what he was thinking nor what he planned to do with her.
Was he going to kill her? Or would he use other methods to punish her?
She did not know and she did not want to think about it.
Vickie was just like the walking dead, alive but not living, until one day, a lady appeared in front of her.
It was a lady who looked somewhat similar to her but compared to her features that were as plain as water, the woman was more gorgeous. She had a slender waist like a willow and a smile on her face. It was also obvious that she was someone with a good sense of wits.
She stood in front of Vickie and looked at her condescendingly as if she had accidentally barged in. Then, she yelled, "Who are you? Why are you locked up here?!"
