Chapter 965

If not for the hatred he nursed toward Sharon and Julliard, Lex would never have lasted this long.

When Julliard stepped into the basement, his gaze fell on the man crumpled in the corner, broken and lifeless like a stray dog left to die. A flicker of regret passed through his eyes.

Not long ago, Xavier had told him that Damien and Cole had already confronted Sharon, demanding she release Lex. Xavier hadn’t spelled it out, but the meaning was clear-Damien and the others were looking for Lex.

No wall is airtight. Sooner or later, they would find this place.

That left Julliard with two choices: release Lex, or erase him from existence. 1

The moment he’d dragged Lex here, Julliard had already made up his mind. If he killed Lex and destroyed the body, suspicion might never fall on him. But if he let Lex go, the consequences would be endless.

His eyes glinted with reluctant pity. He still hadn’t had his fill of tormenting Lex.

But with the trip to Marcentine with Sharon just days away, his time was running short. Better to deal with the problem now.
