Kapitel 268: Deal With the Devil

Alice took a deep breath and sighed as she crossed her arms and tilted her head, looking at Tomas with boredom.

“You are the third person to offer me my freedom as payment… and not one of you is trustworthy. In fact, I am starting to believe that my freedom has too high a price.”

Tomas licked his lips and looked away from her.

“Then what do you want?” he asked.

“First, tell me why you would even offer to help me betray Holden. There is no way you don’t understand the cost of that choice,” she said.

“We all gotta die someday,” Tomas smiled, taking a drink. “Now that Roman is back, my day is getting closer and closer.”

“That’s a healthy parent and child relationship you’ve got.”

“Is that the pot or the kettle?” Tomas smiled.

Alice raised her brow but didn’t comment.

Tomas sighed.

“The agreement I have had with Holden all these years… was not what I planned. I won’t lie and say I didn’t benefit from it. But the cost… ended up much higher than what I wanted to pay.”
