Chapter 592 Ulterior Motives

    Finished

    The file contained detailed information about her–family background, age, appearance, and various things that had happened to her over the past few years…

    The moment Jean saw it, her skin crawled.

    She knew, there were no secrets left between her and Dusk. Whatever method he’d used, he had dug up every detail of her life.

    But even so, Jean understood, there was no way out now.

    She had joined Abyssal Choir. No matter how much she feared Dusk, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and stay.

    Maybe he’d shown her the file just to intimidate her.

    Still, he didn’t do anything to her. In fact, he spoke gently, told her he would protect her.

    It all felt surreal to Jean, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and no one loved without a

    reason.

    Until today, she had never even met Dusk–not a single word had passed between them.

    And now, out of nowhere, he imed he wanted to protect her.

    Jean knew there had to be more to it. And she was right.

    Dusk did have an ulterior motive, he said he liked her…

    Jean waspletely stunned, shocked to her core. At imy /iiage/i? iSaying /iisomething /iilike /iithat /ito ime/i? iWas /iithis /iDusk’s particr tastei? /i

    It was in that moment that Jean realized, no matter what, she couldn’t stay in Abyssal Choir any longer.

    The consequences would be unimaginable.

    But of course, Dusk wasn’t about ito /ilet her igo /ithat easily. He acted like he had herpletely under control -locked her away in a lightless, windowless room.

    Jean spent days there she never wanted to remember.

    Dusk didn’ty a finger on her–he just kept her there, as if trying to wear her down and smooth out all her edges.

    Jean hated having her freedom stripped away. But she was stubborn. She refused to give in.

    Then one day, Jean did the boldest thing she had ever done in her life.

    That day, Dusk opened the door and appeared in front of her.

    She had been locked up for over twenty days, her mind had begun to blur.

    Dusk asked her, did she want to leave?

    He curved his thin lips into a smile, his voice gentle–almost coaxing–as he said he could take her out right

    Jean wasn’t stupid. She didn’t need to guess to know exactly what would happen once she left…

    But she didn’t want to stay in this hellhole anymore, either.

    Keeping up this standoff with Dusk couldn’tst forever.

    So, in that moment, she looked him in the eye and nodded. “I want to leave.”

    Dusk smiled, pleased, and gently took her hand. In a soft, affectionate voice, he praised, “Good girl.”

    It was in that instant–Jean suddenly raised her hand, revealing the slender strip of rusted iron in her palm.

    Clenching her teeth, she drove the de straight into Dusk’s neck without hesitation.

    Dusk died.

    Blood spilled everywhere. His eyes went wide in disbelief as he died–furious, stunned.

    He probably never imagined Jean’s obedience was just an act. That she’d already made up her mind to kill him.

    She had taken a life.

    Jean copsed to the ground, staring at Dusk’s lifeless body, frozen in ce.

    Her eyes were vacant. Her fingers wouldn’t stop trembling.

    It felt like she’d been forced to grow up… forced to do something she never wanted to do.

    Jean quietly disposed of Dusk’s body. Then, she took his ce.

    She became Dusk.

    After all, no one else had ever seen what Dusk looked like.
