As Eric's name resurfaced in my life, I found it increasingly difficult to remain calm. Finally, during an unexpected conversation, I uncovered the true identity of Adele. She was Eric's biological sister, a fact that left me stunned. Even more shocking was that her feelings for Eric were not purely familial; they were mixed with hatred and jealousy.
Adele had once been used by Eric and ultimately betrayed by him. She wanted to reclaim everything that belonged to her, including Dragon's Blood. Adele's expression was cold and resolute as she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, her back to me, speaking in a detached tone as if recounting someone else's story. I stood quietly beside her, my gaze complicated, my clenched fists filled with anger and pain.
"You knew all along that Eric was looking for Dragon's Blood, didn't you?" I asked, my voice tinged with anger.
"Yes, I knew long ago," Adele did not deny it.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" I pressed on.
Adele turned around, her purple eyes locking onto mine, a cold smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "What would telling you change? Isabelle, do you think you can escape the shadows of your past?" Her words dripped with provocation.
"Why are you doing this?" My voice revealed my helplessness.
"Why? Hahaha..." Adele suddenly laughed, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "Because I want to take back everything that is rightfully mine!"
I stared at her in shock, filled with confusion and unease. "What is your relationship with Eric?" I couldn't help but ask.
Adele's smile gradually faded as she gazed at me for a long time before finally saying slowly, "He is my brother, but he is also my enemy."
Her words plunged me into deep shock and pain. Adele's expression turned cold yet fragile as she stared out at the scenery outside and began to tell her story. "Eric and I are siblings, but our relationship has never been good. From a young age, he treated me as his tool; I used my intelligence to strategize for him, but he never truly regarded me as family."
Adele's voice carried a profound sorrow. "He used me, betrayed me, and reduced me to his slave."
"I once loved him, but he showed me no mercy."
"He took everything that belonged to me, including Dragon's Blood." Adele's eyes revealed deep hatred.
"So, you want to take revenge on him?" I asked.
"Yes, I want to reclaim everything that is mine." Adele's expression became resolute and cold.
"Then why did you choose me?" I voiced my confusion.
Adele turned to look at me, her gaze filled with an emotion I couldn't comprehend.
"Because you are the only one who survived after being betrayed by him." Her words carried a hint of sarcasm.
"What do you mean?" A sense of unease surged within me.
"Eric won't easily give up Dragon's Blood; he will definitely find you and seize the bloodline power within you." Adele's tone was calm and ruthless.
"So you chose me from the beginning; you want to use my hand to fight Eric?" I finally understood Adele's intentions.
"Yes, you need revenge, and I need to reclaim what is rightfully mine." Adele did not hide her true motives.
Her honesty filled me with anger and helplessness as I realized I was merely a tool in her revenge plan.
"Why didn't you just tell me your plan directly?" My voice revealed my frustration.
"Do you think you would believe a stranger who suddenly appeared?" A slight smile appeared on Adele's lips.
"What have you done to me?" A wave of unease washed over me again.
"I simply exploited your feelings and trust." Adele's tone remained calm and merciless.
Her words pierced my heart like a sharp knife, leaving me in unprecedented confusion and pain.
I realized that despite knowing everything, my feelings for Adele made it impossible for me to ignore her.
My mind was engulfed in an unprecedented turmoil.
