Chapter 1569


    Zachary winced, and a trace of bitterness shed in his eyes as he opened the door, revealing the


    outside scenery to Lena.


    Thete morning sun bathed the surroundings in bright light while a gentle breeze danced through the


    tree branches. Birds chirped and soared freely in the air.


    Taking in the refreshing air, Lena turned her gaze toward Zachary.


    “Go now,” Zachary whispered. “Lena, can I ask you for one favor?”


    “What is it?” she asked.


    “After you meet your boyfriend, please don’t mention anything about Sasha, alright?”


    Lena furrowed her brow.


    Zachary stepped closer, his gaze sincere. “I’ve raised Sasha, and she’s like my own daughter… Please


    trust me. I’ll take her away from Centrolis right away, and I promise you won’t have to see her again.”


    “So, you want me to spare her?”


    “Lena, she’s your twin sister, and you…”


    Lena stayed silent, swiftly grabbing a fork from the dining table and pressing its sharp end against


    Zachary’s neck!


    Zachary was taken aback, reaching for her wrist, but he felt the chilling edge pressing against his


    artery. Lena had aimed for a critical spot.


    “Lena, you—”


    Lena’s voice turned icy. “Zachary, a little more pressure from me, and your life ends here. I’ve checked,


    there are no surveince cameras in this vi. If I eliminate you and vanish, no one will know who did


    it.”


    Zachary’s expression darkened. “You think the police won’t figure it out?”


    Lena smirked bitterly. “I’m pretty confident in my ability to evade detection.”


    “Lena!”


    “Zachary, I don’t want to harm anyone. But why won’t you let me go?”


    “It’s Sasha’s fault!” Zachary’s voice quivered. “She’s lost her way, thinking she can rece you… but I


    won’t let that happen!”


    “That’s already happened, hasn’t it?” Lena remained intensely vignt, like a stalking leopard in the


    grasnds, her eyes keen andposed.

    “It has, but instead of figuring out how to guide your ‘daughter’ properly, you want me to forgive her?


    Let me tell you, that’s not happening!” she stated.


    Zachary dared not move, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks. “Lena, what do you want?”


    Lena smirked. “First, hand over my phone!”


    Lena first noticed her missing phone upon awakening in the dim room. She assumed Sasha had used


    it to contact Chris and the others in her quest to rece her.


    “I can’t do that,” Zachary confessed honestly. “Sasha took your phone.”


    “Alright, then use your phone to call Chris!”


    “No!”


    “What did you say?” Lena pressed the fork harder.


    The cold, pricking sensation caused Zachary to tremble. He had spent years in the criminal underworld


    and experienced killings, pursuits, and bullets whizzing past his ears. However, he had never felt as


    terrified as he did now.


    He understood that Lena possessed formidable skills. This young woman would be a formidable


    opponent even in a direct confrontation.


    Yet, he suddenly had the eerie feeling that it wasn’t Lena holding the fork against him—it was Krystal! It


    was Krystal wielding Lena’s hand to punish a treacherous scoundrel like him!


    Sweat beads dotted Zachary’s forehead, and a lump seemed to block his throat. He felt the urge to cry.
