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
Violet furrowed her brows, feeling that something was amiss.However, she had no time to dwell on how Isabelle had died at the moment. Was Lucy's death any less tragic in comparison?Her priority right now was to find Carl's and the Whites' family crests. Then, she would bring them to Silvia immediately to get information about Whitney.Resolute, Violet prepared to leave. But as she took her first step, a faint noise caught her attention. Violet frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.She saw Carl's mouse suspended in midair. Slowly, his computer powered up with a crisp chime.The study had excellent soundproofing. Even when Violet accidentally turned on the computer, the outside remained eerily quiet.Violet quickly went to the door. After listening for half a minute, she was sure there was no one outside. Then, she returned to Carl's desk, sat down, and waited patiently.Soon, the computer slowly powered up. But a password prompt appeared on the screen."A password?
Carl's commanding voice loomed over the room. Even though Nina had mentally prepared herself, she couldn't help but feel anxious.Her body quivered. Her legs almost gave way as if she were about to kneel. But she quickly remembered Isabelle and Seth's instructions. Composing herself and putting on a cold and aloof tone, she retorted, "Mr. Walker, mind your tone. We're not that close."Her manner of speaking resembled Violet's. But the fear in her eyes was a far cry from Violet's usual composure."Violet, it seems you don't want to save the Cordex Group's members anymore …" Carl pretended to address Nina as Violet, his tone threatening. His eyes squinted, and a flash of coldness passed quickly. This was Carl's usual way of investigating people. It was something that Violet was well aware of.But Nina was oblivious to this. She thought Carl was merely threatening her using members of the Cordex Group. She replied coldly, imitating Violet's tone, "Carl, if you want them to die
