Never See You Again

Chapter 138

Lyra entered the room after Philip left. She had been listening at the door, and although it was said that blood is thicker than water, she had never heard of family trying to kill each other.

“Zee has always been firm, but this time he seems to have softened. Lyra added, “Usually Zion wouldn’t bother with evidence. He would’ve imprisoned your cousin in the chamber. James probably would be dead by now. Making him surrender himself to the police is mercy for him.”

After saying that, Lyra couldn’t help but express her frustration, “Why didn’t he visit you immediately after he found out what happened to you? He doesn’t understand women at all. He’s so clueless,”
