章 705: Chapter 705

"I thought I was safe because she was a woman." Francesca said with a frown. "And above all I thought I was safe because she was a friend."

Cedric watched as Ram held Francesca tighter, giving her physical support through a tough time.

"Sometimes people pretend to be someone that they are not, I had been sick and tired of suspecting everyone of harboring evil intentions against me" Francesca told them as she looked around the room.

"I had grown up in a family where you were taught not to trust lightly. Among the underworld you needed to see what a person's true intentions were, that's what I was brought up to believe." Francesca said. "Everyone wears masks, it's up to you to see through them. That's what my father always told me."

As she said this she looked Ray in the eyes and gave him a nod. Ray as the King of the Underworld and coming from the family that had held that position for generations knew this fact the best.
