Chapter 1068

Jeffery was a bundle of nerves, his emotion spilling over.

"All these years, even though I knew where he was, I never went to see him. I always thought he took the fall for me, carried the blame his whole life. Even after Crimson Moon was destroyed, he chose to stay on the run. He knew I'd made it— I have power, I have money-yet he never came to me for help. I thought it was because the Grevenberg family was a shadow we couldn't bear to face."

His laughter was laced with irony at first, but it soon faded into grief and regret.
