Chapter 1231 Trading One Life for Two
Yet, Jewel ignored Phantom’s scream completely. She grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head onto the table.
With a loud bang, Phantom’s mind momentarily went blank. She swayed unsteadily, and if Jewel hadn’t been holding onto her, she would have fallen.
As Jewel looked at her, she sneered. “You’re quite skilled at throwing darts, aren’t you?” After she said that, she swiftly raised her hand and brought the dagger down, piercing Phantom’s right arm.
“Ah! Mmm…”
Jewel was swift. Not giving Phantom a chance to scream, she stuffed a small doll into her wide-open mouth and kicked her skillfully.
With that, Phantom crashed heavily onto the ground, clutching her bloodied arm. She was also glaring at Jewel with anger.
Jewel walked over and grabbed her by the collar with a cruel smile on her lips. “You didn’t expect me to come back alive to seek revenge, did you? Do you know how it feels to call out in vain in a raging fire? Do you know what it feels like when you can’t utter a word because of a smoke-filled throat? I always thought we were pitiful people who should support each other, but it turns out that we harm each other. Did you think only you guys knew how to kill and commit arson?”
Phantom shook her head and quickly took the doll out of her mouth as she explained, “It wasn’t me! It was Blood Rose’s idea. She never liked you. Every time you were called by Joseph for a talk, she suspected that you were seducing him. And several times after you came out of Joseph’s room, she got punished. She thought you were secretly plotting against her. She set the fire. It had nothing to do with me.”
Hearing that, Jewel sneered. “Don’t make yourself look so innocent. You were the one who closed the door to that room!”
“I had no choice. We had to listen to her on that mission. You know that. She ordered me to do it, and I couldn’t disobey,” Phantom explained anxiously.
