    Sebastian turned out to be so wicked! She couldn''t believe he would do such a thing.


    After Sebastian left the warehouse, Theodore was left lying alone inside, in a pool of blood. He shut his eyes, having lost all hope.


    Rosalie''s heart broke to witness the scene. She clutched her chest and could almost smell the metallic smell of blood in the air. "Theo, I''m sorry. I''m sorry!"


    Another figure appeared in the video-it was probably Yerick. He pulled out a needle and injected something into Theodore''s body before leaving. Soon after, Aurora appeared.


    Everything was bing clear. That was what actually happened.


    Yerick put his phone aside.


    "Rose, do you understand now? Although I shot Theodore, I saved him afterward. You saw it for yourself. What did Sebastian do after Theodore was injured? He wanted to kill Theodore. Those whom you trusted have been lying to you, while the one you didn''t trust has been protecting you all along. Rose, you must be devastated, right?"


    "Why? Why did things turn out like this? Theo, why didn''t you tell me the truth?" Rosalie sobbed uncontrobly.


    "Would you believe him if he told you?" Yerick asked. "Sebastian begged you, and you gave in instantly. Will you really believe Theodore''s words? For all you know, you might even think that Theodore was falsely using Sebastian."


    "No, I wouldn''t do that!" Rosalie said, her body shaking all over. "If Theo told me all these, I wouldn''t do that. I would believe him! I was looking for Theo at that time, but he refused to see me. Had he been willing to see me and tell me all these, I would have believed him!"


    "What a pity, you can''t turn back time," Yerickmented. "Even if you could, he wouldn''t tell you the truth anyway."


    "He doesn''t even remember what


    Sebastian did to him then," Yerick


    went on smugly. "I did something to his neuro pathways and he forgote everything that happened after- got shot in the chest and copsed. All he remembers was that you chose to spare Sebastian. His memories are filled with


    hopelessness."


    "Why did you do that?" Rosalie asked, furious.


    "Because I don''t want to expose Sebastian''s true colors just yet. He''s still of use to me and can bring trouble to Theodore. I really wanted Sebastian''s heart to save Cynthia, but I saved him anyway because l find him immensely useful. As


    expected, I eventually had leverage over him. He had to do my bidding and acquire thepany for me."


    Overwhelming fury and pain made Rosalie lose control over herself as she pounced on Yerick. "You demon! You demon!"


    A woman, however, seldom managed to overpower a man. Yerick grabbed Rosalie''s arms and pressed her down on a chair, looking down upon her.


    With a cold, wicked smile, he said,


    "Rose, are you in pain? You turned out to be a mere pawn in my grand n, but didn''t expect to like you so much. You treated me so well. You even look a little like my mom, so I couldn''t bear to hurt you. If not, you would probably be dead by now."


    "You sicko! Do you think your mom cane back to life because of everything you did? For all you know, she''s probably very disappointed to see what a monster you''ve be. She''ll despise you from up there!"


    Yerick pped her hard and red at her. "Say more and I''ll kill you before killing your bastard son!"


    Rosalie''s head buzzed from his yelling, and she almost lost consciousness. She forced herself to stay awake and remained focused.


    She didn''t fear death, but she didn''t want anything to happen to Steve. She had no choice but to suppress her anger.


    The vicious look on Yerick''s face remained for a few seconds before he deted like a balloon.
