CHAPTER 193

"An eye for an eye is the aspect of life that people should learn not to follow. No good would come off from killing Xander and you know it."

"It would give me joy knowing that my parents' death wasn't in vain," Jade responded firmly with unwavering eyes.

"You and I know that is a very big lie. You can never get any joy from it. You would be left in anguish and always feeling empty for as long as you live."

"Then it is my cross to bear and not yours. Asia, come, let us leave." 

Holding her friend's hand, Jade made her way past every one of them and left the house.

She noticed that her car was brought to Xander's house. Without giving it much thought she walked towards it, took her key from the driver waiting by it, and ready to take her home. "Thanks, I'll drive."

"Yes, ma." He handed her the keys and stepped back, opening the door for her.
