Kapitel 654: Rage Washes Away Fear

"Ah…." Iris realized she had slipped up with her question towards Number One, as it had revealed that her story about John was not truthful. Her apologetic gaze shifted towards Adam, who stared at her intently, as if he would have no more lies regarding John.

Iris's lips opened and closed several times as if she was thinking about how to word her next statement. A sigh escaped those lips as she resigned herself to telling the truth. Her gaze hardened as she stared at Adam and hoped he could withstand the truth. If he were to blame himself for John's current predicament and regress mentally, she would feel only remorse and sorrow.

"I lied about John's whereabouts after he rescued you," Iris said. Adam's eyes narrowed as he heard this, but he remained silent as he allowed her to continue.
