Chapter 533 Demi''s Past
Demi looked worked up. Before they could even ask, she already gave them her answer.
"I won''t tell you who my boss is. Now that I lost an eye, my boss won''t want me anymore. I am
useless now. Do what you want with me. I don''t care if you send me to prison."
Vicente opened her mouth slightly and thought about what Demi said.
"You are Jett''s mistress. How is it possible that you have no idea what he has been doing in secret?
He adores you very much. He even gave you a precious sapphire ne. And that perfume he
gave you, he made it himself, you know?"
"He''s just trying to make up for his sins, nothing more."
Demi closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She took a deep breath and continued, "You have investigated what happened six years ago. Did
you break into my house? You wanted to enforce thew, and yet, you yourself broke thew in
doing so. That''s ridiculous.
If you didn''t break into my house in Moon Bay, you wouldn''t have been able to learn about the truth
behind our past. Jett is been so generous to me because he wants to atone for his sins."
Vicente frowned. "What do you mean?"
Looking back into her past, Demi exined quietly, "Darleen, Daisy, and I were orphans. Since we
had no one else, we had to support each other. We were able to live a good life despite not having
enough money. Later on, Darleen met Jett, and they married in secret. Even Daisy and I didn''t know
about it. But one day, Jett''s mother came to find us and forced Darleen to divorce Jett. She wanted
Jett to marry Ruby.
However, Darleen refused. That weekend, Jett came to our home to talk to her. He told her that she
was the only woman he loved and that he wouldn''t marry any other woman."
Nina listened intently as Demi told her the story. Frowning, she interrupted, "Were you next to
them?"
"No, Daisy and I were in the kitchen. They were in Darleen''s room."
As soon as Demi finished her words, the look in Nina''s eyes changed. But Demi didn''t notice it and
continued,
"Daisy was still so young that she couldn''t help much in the kitchen. A gas leak happened and there
was an explosion afterwards." Demi raised her hands to cover her face. Remembering that day was
difficult for her.
That scene was deeply etched in her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she could never forget.
"Jett is a hypocrite. When the gas was about to explode, he just wanted to take Darleen out. But
Darleen shook off his hand and insisted on saving us. In the end, she died there,pletely
disfigured by the explosion. Daisy and I survived.
Back then, I always had nightmares. About Darleen, the explosion, it was horrible. Jett still had a
little conscience left. He arranged for Daisy and me to see a psychiatrist. When we recovered after
almost a year of treatment, he married Ruby. I hate him. Even if he tries to make it up to us, we still
hate him."
Demi opened her eyes and looked at them calmly. "I pretended to be obedient to him. But the truth
is, I was working for my boss."
After finishing her story, Demi opened her mouth slightly, revealing a narrow gap between her lips.
She breathed slowly, steadying herself.
Demi peeked at the people in front of her. Cali looked distressed, but it seemed that she believed
her.
She didn''t know whether the others believed her or not. Their eyes revealed no clue about their
thoughts.
Looking at them, she thought that it might be hard for them to believe her.
Seeing that they were silent, Demi smiled and said, "I''ve already said everything that I have to say.
When will you let me go?"
Nina smiled back. "Did I say that I would let you go?"
Demi''s face froze. "What do you want?"
"We''ll wait for Jett toe to us and negotiate," Nina answered coldly.
"You''re wrong. Even though he wants to atone for his sins, he won''t let his efforts go in vain for me."
Demi''s throat tightened. A trace of hatred shed through her eyes. Without dy, she forced
herself to calm down.
She was hiding her true emotions.
"Just wait and see." Nina looked at Demi. "You will have food from now on. Don''t worry."
They all then turned to leave, leaving Demi to herself.
Once they got out of the basement, Cali couldn''t wait to ask, "Do you believe Demi? Will Jette
to us? But she isn''t Darleen."
"You are so naive," Vicente said.
"Cali, don''t believe whatever others say." Nina said to her, knocking on Cali''s head. "Didn''t you hear
what Sean said? She has been psychologically trained."
When John heard Nina mention him,
he stopped and turned his head to nce at her.
He smiled at his little girl gently.
"So you mean Demi just made that story up? If that''s so, she''s very good at making things up. She
can be a scriptwriter," Cali said with a hint of surprise.
For a while, Vicente thought hard about it. "It''s made up of half-truths," she said.
"What do you mean half-truths? Which parts are true then? And which are fake?" Cali asked like a
curious baby.
While Vicente and Cali were talking, Nina turned her head and didn''t see John. She panicked.
"I''m behind you." John was a bodyguard now, so it was improper to walk beside them. He had to
y the part and walk behind.
When he saw Nina''s anxious expression, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. It pained him to see her
worried. He quickly whispered to her, "I''m here. Don''t be afraid."
Nina felt a wave of relief when she saw her familiar figure and heard his voice.
John didn''t talk much since he was a bodyguard. While he was in Lexingport City, Nina could hold
his hand whenever she wanted and he didn''t need to talk much.
But she couldn''t get close to him now.
She came up with an idea.
Clearing her throat, Nina said in a serious tone, "Sean, I hope you can say more. Please give me
your thoughts on the story Demi just told."
''Since I couldn''t get close to him, I should just listen to his voice more,'' she thought.
John gave her a serious look and said, "Okay."
"Sean, you are a smart person. Please analyze what Demi said to us." Turning around, Cali smiled
at him.

Suddenly ignored by Cali, Vicente was speechless.
"Hey, I''m still telling you my analysis, aren''t I?" he said crossly.
Facing him, Cali begged Vicente with her eyes. ''I just want to listen to Sean.''
Vicente seemed to have discovered something and was shocked. "Oh my God," he
muttered.
