Isabelle looked at Violet with an icy gaze."Violet, it's better for you to hand over your weapon. Otherwise, if Ethan gets ruthless, you might be crippled."Looking at Violet's bound hands, she giggled. "Perhaps we should break your hands first."She walked behind Violet as she spoke, bending down to grab her sleeve.Violet wasn't done with what she was trying to do, so she couldn't let Isabelle touch her.Though she was bound to the chair, she suddenly tilted toward Isabelle in a swift movement.Isabelle dodged quickly, but she was still hit in the waist by Violet. Losing her balance, she leaned forward, almost falling to the ground.Fortunately, Seth rushed over to catch her."Ethan, why don't you break her hands already?" Isabelle exclaimed, both shocked and fearful.That damn Violet! If she hadn't dodged in time and been saved by Seth, she would have embarrassed herself.Damn it! Why was it always her at a disadvantage?Isabelle seethed with envy, her beautiful face twi
"Isabelle." Seth hesitated, looking at Isabelle.Was capturing Violet more important than her own life? But even if she was willing to sacrifice her life, he couldn't bear it.It wasn't easy for him to make her be with him. How could he bear to let her die?Seth's gaze darkened. After hesitating, he finally spoke coldly, seemingly agreeing to Violet's demand.Isabelle, while tilting her neck backward, glared at Seth. "If you dare to let Violet go, I'll never forgive you."She seemed willing to risk her life to kill Violet.When Violet heard that, she smiled. The hand holding the gold needle moved closer to Isabelle.As the tip touched Isabelle's fair skin, about to pierce it, Isabelle's legs went weak in terror."Isabelle, I can't let anything happen to you!" Seth exclaimed anxiously.Looking at Violet, he coldly said, "I'll let you go, but you can't harm her in the slightest, or—""Enough of your babbling!" Violet cut off Seth, slowly removing the gold needle."Go!" She pin
The Demon King gazed at Violet with a complex expression, instantly reminding him of his childhood.Before becoming the world's top hacker, he was just an orphan at the Sunshine Welfare Home.He had a sister who was his everything. She didn't speak much but always cared for him.She would apply ointment for him when he was hurt and take the punishment for him when he made mistakes.The Demon King vividly remembered a time when the welfare home manager's granddaughter called him names and even accused his mother of being a "shameless woman" who abandoned them for a man.Being young, he was naturally furious and got into a fight with the girl, leaving her with a scratched arm.The girl cried to the welfare home manager, demanding that the Demon King be kicked out and left to die on the streets along with his sister.But the manager didn't comply. Instead, he gave the Demon King and his sister a mysterious look.The Demon King couldn't recall exactly what the manager did, but he r
Violet led the Demon King and the others away from there. Then, the Demon King hurriedly approached her. "Violet, Isabelle had hurt you. Why not seek revenge?" he asked with a hint of displeasure.He was the kind of person who couldn't let the smallest offense go unpunished. If someone dared to hurt him, they'd face the consequences."I already have," she replied, a faint smile on her lips. She locked eyes with him. Her next words carried a profound meaning. "Sometimes, the most powerful payback isn't a direct strike. What goes around comes around in due time.""Is that so?" The Demon King frowned, still struggling to understand Violet's reasoning."Annabel, take Violet and leave first. I need to go back and check on something," he ordered, turning to leave."Okay." Annabel nodded. "Remember, don't ruin Violet's plan.""Of course." The Demon King paused for a bit. His deep gaze fixed on Violet.Under the sunlight, Violet wore a faint smile, but she was confident in her plan.
Isabelle narrowed her eyes and swiftly scanned her surroundings. She only saw a seemingly useless wooden stick."Isabelle, I understand you were upset after a miscarriage," Seth said. He reached out, thinking she might be hurt and wanting to comfort her.But she shot him a fierce look and shuffled back slightly. "My back was hurting.""I'm sorry, Isabelle. I thought you were going to kill me …" Seeing her reluctance, he regretted his actions. He approached her and said, "I'm really sorry. It's just that you bit me so hard.""Yeah, it's my fault. I didn't actually want to kill you." Isabelle's body trembled when she said this. She even forced a smile.In reality, she had wanted to tear him apart just a moment ago. She had brought him here to torture Violet but failed due to his indecisiveness. So, Isabelle couldn't help but feel bitter about it. Moreover, his savage behavior toward her a few days ago had left her with lingering pain. Even now, it still ached faintly.He couldn
Seth bent over to pick up the phone. At that moment, the Demon King walked to stand in front of Isabelle."Go ahead. If you can unlock the lock, I'll let you two go," he said mockingly.She knew the Demon King's character well. His word was his promise. Yet, seeing his confident demeanor, she started doubting if the key would work at all. She hesitated, contemplating whether it was worth the effort.Furrowing her brows, she hesitated but eventually began trying the keys one after another.Seeing that, the Demon King leisurely stood aside. He observed as she tried to unlock the door, relishing the situation.It seemed this game was much more entertaining to him than his usual cruel tricks.After a while and no progress from Isabelle, the Demon King sighed in frustration. He strolled over to Seth, took the phone from him, fiddled with it, and played a video.The video showed Isabelle and Nina conspiring together. Isabelle wanted to get rid of her unborn child and frame Violet fo
Isabelle needed to destroy that video footage before Seth got a chance to see it.The Demon King lounged in the control room, clearly bored. Seeing Isabelle's anxious demeanor, he raised an eyebrow."Isabelle, Violet set up this little drama for me to enjoy. How can I let it unfold according to your plan?" the Demon King thought to himself. "Well, it looks like I should help Seth," mumbled the Demon King.As the Demon King watched the video footage, he noticed how Isabelle easily persuaded Seth with just a few words. He realized he might miss out on the fun and couldn't resist a mischievous thought."Raven, keep an eye on things. I'm heading over there," the Demon King said as he swiftly left."Be careful," Annabel told the Demon King. "Violet wanted me to follow you to ensure you don't get tricked by Seth and Isabelle.""I know, but Raven, are you worried about me?" The Demon King, who should have been outside, suddenly burst in. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes."No,
After Seth was drained, he reached out toward Isabelle's nose. It was quiet, with not a hint of breath remaining.Isabelle had lost her life under his ruthless desires."Isabelle!" Seth yelled, falling to his knees. For the first time, his usually cold eyes welled up with tears.Isabelle lay lifeless on the ground like a discarded ragdoll. But her eyes were open as if unwilling to find peace in death."Demon King, that's enough." Annabel sat at her computer. Watching Isabelle's wrathful expression on the screen, her brows furrowed.She wanted to smile to celebrate her revenge. But as she watched on, a heavy feeling weighed on her, causing her to turn her gaze away."Demon King, you need to leave. They seem to have found the entrance," Annabel told the Demon King. She saw that the people tracking him were about to break in.The Demon King slightly furrowed his brows. He first checked Isabelle's breath to confirm her death. Once certain, he picked up the keys from the ground and t
