Chapter 1495

Antoine was at a loss for words, but Yates was unfazed, “What I did to her wasn’t exactly honorable, even a bit cruel. I’d rather she hated me than forgave me.”

Yates seemed to read his thoughts and smiled at him. “Antoine, when you were a kid, you were my favorite. I know it’s hard for you to let me go, but such is life. We all have to face goodbyes.”

Yates exhaled a smoke ring, the curling tendrils framing his weathered face in a sort of detached serenity. It was as if the youthful Yates, who had been driven by a vengeance so strong it sustained him for years, no longer had a reason to hold on now that the scores were settled.
