Chapter 634
"So, you don''t know him?" Jenna asked calmly.
Octavia hesitated for a moment and answered unreservedly, "Yes. I do not know him."
"I see." Jenna appeared enlightened. "Looks like we got the wrong person. If that''s the case, then
forget about it. I thought I''d be able to do something good today."
Jenna informed Lomen, "Lomen, unfortunately we have got the wrong person. I supposed this is
God''s will. I thought I''de here with the intention of saving a life. It seemed my hope was in vain.
Let''s go. There''s no point in wasting our time here."
She stood up as she spoke.
"Well, Mrs. Richards. I supposed we should let it go since there are no other ways around it. Leave
the matter of life and death to the hands of fate."
Lomen knew Jenna was onto something. He agreed with her and took a few long strides towards
her direction to escort her out.
Octavia''s face turned pale immediately. A storm was brewing in her mind. The arrogance she
disyed just now had suddenly evaporated while panic crept in.
"Mrs. Richards, please exin before you leave." Octavia stopped Jenna. Her voice trembled
lightly.
The corner of Jenna''s mouth curved into a faint smile.
"Why? Are you interested in what I have to say now?" Jenna stopped and asked.
"Mrs. Richards, which Ziyon are you talking about?" Octavia tried to remain calm and asked in a
steady voice.
Jenna raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Why? Do you really know Ziyon?"
Jenna kept her guessing deliberately as she grew more anxious. She saw the panic in her eyes and
knew that she had flipped the situation. Octavia was practically begging her now.
"Mrs. Richards, I will be frank. I do know a man named Ziyon but I am not sure if he was the person
you were referring to." Octavia clenched her jaw.
"Do you want to know who I am talking about?" Jenna''s red lips parted slightly. She didn''t borate
further.
Octavia tightened her fist. "Mrs. Richards, you are the wife of a noble and decent family. You
wouldn''t want to get your hands dirty, would you? It wouldn''t be any good for your reputation if word
got out that you yed dirty."
"Reputation?" Jenna''s eyes were piercing. "My husband was framed and his life was almost ruined.
Do you think I care about my reputation? This is a dog- eat- dog world. In the world of business, the
winner rules over the weak and takes it all. Do you think I would still care about my reputation when
ites to dealing with b*stards without integrity?"
Octavia looked at her in fear. Jenna''s eyes were cold and sharp, and she looked stern. Her face
turned pale again.
"Then, tell me, which Ziyon? What happened to him?" There was a hint of despair in her eyes as
she asked slowly.
Jenna chuckled and sat on the couch. "Made up your mind yet? Ready to have a conversation with
me now?"
"Please." Octavia followed and sat down. She looked at her with an incredulous expression.
"Ziyon Gambon. Year 2, ss 3," Jenna replied softly.
"No." Octavia sprang to her feet. "What did you do to him? Do not touch him."
She screamed at Jenna and her eyes reddened.
Jenna sneered. "Octavia, how stupid can you be? What would I do to him? Aren''t you aware that
you were the one who put him in danger?"
"What do you mean?" Octavia''s eyes were wide with confusion.
"You should know who you have been dealing with. Just think about it. You knew so much insider
information. Did you really think she would let you go easily?" Jennaughed in disdain and replied
sarcastically.
"Impossible. You are trying to drive a wedge between us." Octavia thought Jenna was trying to
manipte her and shook her head in denial. "That is absolutely impossible."
"Absolutely impossible?" Jenna taunted. "Seems like you are loyal. It''s a pity that you have wasted
your loyalty on the wrong person."
Octavia''s face was as pale as ash and cold sweat dripped from her forehead. She fell back and
sank into the couch as she lowered her head.
"I''ll tell you. Your dearest brother was actually locked up by Zoe. She made arrangements for your
mother and brother because she had something else nned. Clearly, she didn''t trust you. In fact,
she had her people following them closely, in case you ever made any unusual moves. She''d
threaten you with their lives if it ever happens. You know very well how she operates," Jenna
exined indifferently.
Octavia''s face twisted and she looked terrible.
"Why are you telling me this? If what you said was true, then I''d definitely remain loyal to her. I
wouldn''t betray her, at the very least, to keep my family safe,” Octavia uttered.
Octavia had been having vague suspicions about what Jenna had said but she shrugged it off
because she trusted her wholeheartedly.
"I am telling you because I want you to know what kind of person you are dealing with. You shall
judge for yourself what kind of person she is. Also, because I want to save your family." Jenna was
very frank and had no intention of hiding the truth from her.
"What in the world are you trying to say?" Octavia raised her head and sneered. Jenna saw the fear
in her eyes.
"Take them away somewhere far and safe as soon as possible. Get away from Zoe for the sake
of their safety," Jenna advised in a low voice. "Zoe had been poisoning your mother and brother
with chronic poison. If you leave now, then I can find a doctor abroad and they would still stand a
chance to be cured. Or else, I am afraid that the chronic toxicity would be too severe to be treated."
"What?" Octavia stood up in shock and disbelief. "Mrs. Richards, is that true?" "Of course. My men
have spent a lot of time following her to find out about this. I came to you as soon as I knew it."
Jenna appeared certain.
"Then, why are you doing this? What is your purpose?" she asked after a moment of silence.
Octavia perspired in fear. Her gaze was dull as she muttered.
Jennaughed.
"I do have my intentions. I am a businesswoman after all. I would like to make a deal with you."
She was frank, which persuaded Octavia to believe her. She knew there was no free lunch in the
world.
"I only did this for one purpose. That is the Richards Group. I care about profit in all the trades I deal
with. I''ve provided you with such valuable information because I want you to cooperate with me. I
believe you know how ourpany has been framed by Zoe. I hope that we''ll be able to benefit
from each other and achieve mutual benefits," Jenna expressed frankly.
Octavia''s face gradually lit up and she asked hesitantly.
"How can you be sure that I will fulfil your request? I''m just an unimportant character in the story."
Jenna raised her beautiful eyebrows and deepened her smile. "Octavia, Zoe has spent so much
effort on you. Why would she have given so much thought to your family if you are insignificant to
her? She would exchange your loyalty by threatening your mother and brother''s lives. She wanted
to make sure that you''d never leave her and would act at her disposal. Don''t you understand?"

Octavia''s eyes shed with grief and cold sweat began to drip down her forehead. She tried to wipe
it with a tissue to conceal her fear.
"Octavia, I am going to be very frank. Leave now and you can still protect your family. If not, then
you and your family will not end well simply because you know too much about Zoe. She is on
guard about you and will not let you go. For your family''s safety and health, they cannot wait any
longer. I am sure you understand the consequences."
Octavia bit her lip so hard that it turned white, and her hands were sped together.
She would definitely die if she betrayed Zoe now. Zoe wouldn''t let her go before she achieved
her goal.
However, her mother and brother...
She sped her fingers even tighter and she appeared to be in pain. She was in a dilemma and did
not know how to handle the situation.
"Octavia, Zoe''s conspiracy will soon be exposed. Once the authorities start their investigation on
her, she will push all the me to you. You have followed her for a long time, and you took part in
everything. If you refuse to cooperate with her, then she will threaten you with the toxins in your
mother''s and brother''s body. She might even promise you to cure them of their poison if you took
the me for her. However, I want to remind you that your mother''s and brother''s conditions have
already reached the point of no return, and treatment should not be dyed. Even if you take the
me, she might not be able to cure their illnesses. Think about it. I am trying to help you." Jenna
stopped for a while and then continued, "We can find a solution even if Zoe pushed the me of
framing Richards Group to you. If you tell everything now, then you will only be considered an
aplice. Your punishment would be much lighter. If you expose her now, then I promise you that
I will find help to cure your family''s illness," Jenna exined patiently again.
"I..." The anger and arrogance in Octavia''s eyes had all disappeared, leaving only despair, fear, and
helplessness.
"Octavia, the interrogation method has advanced a lot now. Zoe may be well-prepared but you
can''t rule out the possibility that the authorities will force her name out of you. She would do
everything to protect herself. You must be fully aware that she has trained a lot of killers." Jenna
analyzed further.
Octavia was getting more upset as she continued listening.
"Octavia, you are after all only her underling. These crimes are not terrible. You can still make
atonement as long as you expose her. You know my character. I only did this for my husband, as
well as the Richards Group. This is a fair trade." Jenna stood up and continued, "Of course, it is
also for you and your family."
The fear in Octavia''s eyes was getting more obvious and she appeared anxious. "Mrs. Richards, I
need some time to consider this."
