Bab 290: Misery

Vanessa, despite her often devious and cunning demeanor, had moments of genuine concern and self-doubt. The revelation of Shi Tian's past had left her somewhat bewildered and questioning her own actions.

As Mary sighed and turned in for rest, Vanessa remained seated, lost in thought. 

She couldn't help but reflect on her choices and the web of deception she had woven. Deceit was a tool she wielded with finesse, but it also came with consequences.

She pondered Shi Tian's potential reaction to her deceit and feigning innocence toward him. 

Would he seek retribution or vengeance for her actions? 

Or would he adopt a more pragmatic approach and prioritize their collective survival?

"Nah, I doubt it. That bastard still owed me it for using me as a gambling chip. So if he dared to seek vengeance, then I'll make sure he'll suffer." Vanessa murmured and clenched her fist.
