Chapter 666: Lies And Betrayal II


    The Incubus System Chapter 656. Lies And Betrayal II


    A tap on my shoulder broke my thought and turned to see one of the officers who had brought me there. "You only have ten minutes," he said. Without my answer, he left the room and closed the door behind me.


    I turned to face the woman sitting on the other side of the table. My mom. It was strange to see her after a long time, and I couldn''t help but feel a mix of emotions. I had been angry at her for so long, for leaving my sister and me, but now that she was here in front of me, I wasn''t sure what to say.


    Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my racing heart. "How are you?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer, breaking the silence between us. I knew she was doing good just by her appearance.


    "Good," she replied, her voice soft. "How about you? And your sister, Celia? Where is she?" she asked with a soft voice. A warm smile on her lips.


    "She didn''t want toe," I answered simply, didn''t want to cover anything from her.


    "And how have you been? Are you taking care of yourself?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern. I didn''t know if it was a fake or not but at least it sounded genuine to me.


    I nodded, trying to hide the bitterness I felt. "I have a job now, with a stable ie. We''re doing okay," I said, my voice cool.


    She looked at me for a moment, before speaking again. "I''m sorry, Ethan. I know I''ve made mistakes, but I want to make things right," she said, her voice trembling. "I want us to be a family again like we used to be. Can you withdraw the report?" she added. Again, her voice sounded genuine."It wasn''t me who made the report. It''s the bank," I replied. Although I had the power to do it, so I didn''t lie.


    A frown appeared on her forehead. "But you could do something about it, right?" she insisted. Her voice sounded like a plea.


    Then she reached for my hand on the table and held it tightly like she used to calm me down when I was a kid to stop me from sobbing. "Please…" she begged.


    I nced at my hand before I turned to her and looked at her skeptically, trying to read her thoughts and see if she was being truthful. But I knew with my unstable emotion, my judgment was biased. So I used my Mind Corruption skill.


    ''Mind Corruption.''


    Her gaze turned nk. An announcement appeared in front of me.


    [What do you want to do with her memory?]


    [Read/Erase/Alter]


    ''Read, her true intention for apologizing anding back to our family.''


    I delved into her mind and scanned her thoughts. What I found there was a shock. She wasn''t being honest, she just wanted to continue her luxurious life with her new husband, my stepfather.


    A wave of pain and betrayal washed over me, more than before. It was freaking hurt. Spontaneously, I stood up from the table, backing away from her. My shock and disappointment were clear on my face but not a word came out of my mouth.


    My sudden movement woke her up from my skill. She stood up too, reaching for my hand. "Ethan, please. I know I''ve made mistakes, but I want to make it up to you," she said, her voice pleading.


    I red at her, pulling my hand away. "It''s toote for that," I said, my voice cold. "I can see right through your lies. You just want to continue yourfortable life, without a care for the damage you''ve caused."


    She looked at me, a hurt expression on her face. "Ethan, please. I''m your mother," she said, her voice breaking.


    "That means nothing to me now," I replied, before turning to the door.


    But she chased me and caught my hand once again. "Ethan!" she called me once again in a much louder voice. "I''m the one who gave birth to you! I raised you to be a fine man! Why are you doing this to me? To your own mother?!" She tried to guilt trip me. Her irritation was clear in her voice. It was different from her previous tone.


    "Don''t," I warned, my voice low and dangerous, without looking at her.


    A secondter, I turned to her, showing the emotion that was palpable in my expression. My eyes red at her in a cold stare, a sign of how far I pressed down my emotion. "Don''t test my patience," I hissed once again. My displeasure was clear from both my expression and voice.


    It made her speechless and stunned in shock.


    Without further ado, I brushed her hand away from me and left the room, mming the door behind me.


    And with that, I left the room, feeling a mix of emotions, but mostly anger and betrayal. I couldn''t believe that after all these years, she still thought she could just waltz back into my life and expect everything to be okay. It was toote for that, and I was done with her lies.


    In silence, I walked down the hall, my heart heavy with the weight of what had just happened. I was lost in my thoughts, my mind racing with the conversation I just had with my mother. I felt a mix of emotions, from anger to betrayal and sadness. I felt like I had just been punched in the gut, and I struggled to get my thoughts in order. I had always wanted to have my mother back in my life, but now that she was here, I realized that some things were better left in the past.


    But then, as I reached the lobby, I heard a voice calling my name. "Ethan?" And it snapped me out of my reverie. I looked around hically, then I saw her. A purple slime woman dressed neatly in her business outfit. Elenna.
