Elysia found Zoe’s words amusing. “Even if you were not poisoned, you would not be able to lay a finger on me.”

Though Elysia spoke in the most indifferent tone, her words sent a chill through Zoc.

Zoe believed her. Even without the poison, she would never be a match for Elysia.

She lowered her eyes, and the murderous intent radiating from her gradually faded.

Elysia stepped forward, untying the ropes that bound Zoe. Then she moved aside, leaning leisurely against the wooden cabinet in the storage room, watching her with a relaxed expression.

“You are really letting me go?” Zoe asked.

“I keep my word. Or did you think I was joking with you?” Elysia replied.

Ever since Phoebe learned that Elysia intended to release that woman, her expression had been grim.

Phoebe knew Elysia must have her reasons, but Zoe had nearly killed Elysia. It was a grudge Phoebe could not easily let go of.

Now, hearing Zoe question Elysia, Phoebe’s temper flared. She glared at Zoe and snapped, “If you do not want to leave, you can stay.

“One day, I will make sure you die in this tiny room, never to see the sunlight again.”

Zoe did not even lift her head. She had grown accustomed to hearing such words. Phoebe wished for her death every single day.

“I will leave,” Zoe said. With an escape route before her, she intended to take it.

Elysia nodded, unsurprised by the answer. “You had better disappear before I change my mind.”

Zoe glanced at Elysia, then used the last of her strength to straighten her body and walked toward the door, step by step.

Once she left this place, she would be free.
