Chapter 123: Perforated eardrum

Jeslyn's heart thumped louder and fiercer like it would fly out of her chest any minute. Maverick can't be that wicked, right? She opened and closed her mouth but no words came out of her throat. 

Yes, she sought vengeance, but it wasn't against the innocent. She was only after Ray and his sister, then her Chen family. 

"I'm… I'm sorry," that was all she could say. No wonder he drank so much. No wonder he sounded like a dying man.

Ray chuckled. "It's not your fault, Jeslyn. I know that you wouldn't have allowed it if you knew. You are a good person, so I'm pleading with you, do not turn evil. Do not let vengeance consume you. We will all pay for what we do. It might take a while but all evildoers will face retribution one way or the other. Just like I'm facing mine now.

The other two people, I don't know who they are but I suspect Frank is one of them." 

"Yo– your friend?" She asked.
