    “Yes.”


    Elvis wiped his eyes and raised his head. His eyes shimmered with tears as he looked at Damien. “Old

    ck market.”


    “However…”

    Heughed bitterly. “Thirteen years ago, I was traumatized by what happened and vowed never to


    commit arson or harm anyone again. Instead, I nned to sell my blood or organs.”


    “Unexpectedly, even after all these years, Old Mr. Lenoir still had someone waiting to capture me in the


    ck market.”


    Although Elvis was staring directly at Damien, his gaze seemed distant. Later, he sent people to beat


    me up and threatened to hand me over to the police.”


    “I admitted that I deserved punishment for my crime, but I begged to be allowed to say goodbye to my


    family. My mother was dying, and the daughter I raised had reached a marriageable age. I pleaded to


    see them onest time.”


    “Old Mr. Lenoir took pity on me and asked if I would do something in exchange for forgiveness. He


    knew I was just a pawn. Even if I hadn’t started the fire, the mastermind would have found someone


    else…”


    “I was desperate and had no choice but to do as Old Mr. Lenoir said.”


    “Then, I showed Cherise your photo and asked if she would be with you….”


    Elvis looked down andughed bitterly. “At the time, I thought if she agreed, I could pretend it was a


    normal matchmaking and move on.


    “If she didn’t want to marry you, I wouldn’t force her. I knew I would eventually have to go to prison.”


    “However, I didn’t expect her to agree when she saw your photo. She even put it under her pillow,


    saying you were her lucky star.”


    “At the time, her aunt and I questioned her, thinking she was just trying to put us at ease. We were


    worried that she only agreed to marry you to save my mother.”


    “Later, we realized that… she really did like you…”


    Elvis raised his head again and focused on Damien. “But fate yed a cruel trick. I thought everything


    would be over after Cherise married you.”


    “Who knew…”

    “My grandfather was right.”


    Damien narrowed his eyes and emphasized what Elvis had said. “You were just a pawn.”


    “Even if you hadn’t started the fire thirteen years ago, someone else would have.”


    He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. “Honestly, you shouldn’t me yourself for everything.


    Elvis gave a bitterugh. “But there’s no denying that what I did was wrong.


    “I should take responsibility for my mistake.”


    He sighed and continued, “I’ve made arrangements for my family. My wife will take them to a ce


    where no one knows them.”


    “They’ll be safe without me.”


    Then, he closed his eyes. “The person I worry about the most is still… Cherise?


    “She has aplicated background. Her mother is a formidable figure. Her father…”


    Heughed sarcastically. “Since I’m here now, I might as well tell you about her past. At least you won’t


    be confused when her birth parentse looking for her.”


    Damien narrowed his eyes. “Alright.”


    In reality, Damien already knew a lot about Cherise’s background.


    Still, he was curious to hear what Elvis had to say.


    “Since you had a previous agreement with Charisa Neller, you should have returned Cherry to her


    thirteen years ago. Why didn’t you?”


    Elvis was stunned.


    He clenched his handcuffed fists and mumbled, “I…”


    “Furthermore…”


    Damien frowned and continued calmly. “If I’m not mistaken, Charisa Neller changed her name to


    Charisa Miles thirteen years ago. She killed her then-husband and became the head of the Miles.
