I boldly voiced my spection. "Don''t tell me you guys orchestrated Mnie''s escape?"


    As immediately shook his head. "No, but we did leverage the rtionship between Liora and Felix, that''s for sure."


    I stared at As, dumbfounded. He was overly modest if this was not their deal.


    "How did you pull it off?" I asked, incredulous, while munching on food.


    A hint of tenderness glinted in As''s eyes as he smiled.


    "I had Liora and Felix''s rtionship thoroughly investigated by Grayson long ago. It wasn''t part of our arrangement, but we used their connection." Suddenly, I remembered Grayson mentioning it to me.


    "Grayson told me that he had checked in on Felix and Liora. Was it because of Mnie''s confession? I said I''d have a good chat with Grayson tonight."


    "I had investigated Mnie''s confession because Liora always acted like she had insider information. I looked into it, and sure enough, information came from inside."


    "You noticed Liora''s behavior back then?" I was truly amazed at As''s sharpness.


    I had to admit it, my admiration for him was growing more profound.


    As sat at the tablezily, gazing at my face with satisfaction. Such a sight made him even more captivating, almost mesmerizing.


    He continued, "In recent years, Liora made a fortune by extorting money from the inmates, especially those involved in economic crimes. They didn''tck money but wanted to cause trouble. Liora became the bridge. It was a lucrative business for her."


    I nodded in acknowledgment. "I respect this woman. Her thought process is definitely on a different level. No wonder Mnie waspletely under her control."


    "Mnie''s situation was her own


    doing. She indeed had unique advantages and handled them. skillfully," As added, emphasizing how Mnie waspletely under Liora''s control.


    It was no surprise that Liora wanted to win and did not take me seriously.


    In fact, my background was iparable to others, and she looked down on me.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Liora was a veteran warrior in Foswood.


    As continued, taking my astonishment seriously. "During Mnie''s time inside, she suffered a lot, all thanks to Liora. So whatever


    Liora told her to do, she dared not


    refuse."


    I was shocked, cautiously asking, "Are you saying Mnie was physically abused inside?"


    "Physically abused is an understatement. It was inhumane treatment."


    I was left speechless. I couldn''t fathom the inhumane methods he referred to.


    "But this time, Liora lost herposure. Why?" I was a bit puzzled.


    "This time, Liora sensed a danger, and the pressure came from Melvern." As spoke casually as if everything was within his strategic n. "Melvern?" I was surprised.


    "Yes, when Melvern returned to the city, he felt something was off. Before his return, he had already prepared to take revenge against Atticus."


    "I know about this. Melvern returned to the city mainly for revenge against Atticus." I looked at As, telling him, "Atticus told me about it himself!"


    "But when Melvern returned to the city, he sensed that the information he had received didn''t quite match the actual situation. So, he stopped supplying Liora with information."


    As''s words were an eye-opener, and suddenly, everything made sense. That exined why Liora took matters into her own hands.
