Things could go out of hand if Essie were just let free to do what she wanted.
Selina had to snatch the knife out of Essie's grasp.
But she had no energy whatsoever.
She couldn't even stand up, let alone snatch the knife from Essie.
She felt as if her whole body had been turned into a puddle of water.
Just as Essie was closing in onto Selina, Yesseca cried out at once, "Stop, Essie! You can't hurt Selina!"
Essie's gaze was fierce as she glared at Yesseca. "How dare you protect her even now? Didn't I say that she killed your brother? She's your brother's murderer!"
Yesseca's eyelashes trembled even more.
It was flittering and fluttering heavily like a butterfly patting its wings hardly when it was about to drown.
Yesseca looked at Essie and said, "Essie, I trust Selina."
Essie stared at Yesseca. "What did you say?"
Yesseca emphasized each word again, "I believe in Selina. My brother once told me that Selina was the best person in the world, so I believe her."
"Yesseca, you really are blind and an imbecile! She killed your brother, and yet you still trust her!" Essie was yelling madly, "Do you even know that everything she's doing and saying is all an act? She's faking everything. She's not the good person you think she is. She doesn't deserve your trust."
Yesseca's breathing was a little disordered, but she still tried to speak clearly, "Essie, I was a sick child since I was young. I stayed in the hospital for half my life. It was Selina that helped me find a doctor so that I could be saved. After my brother passed away, she continued to take care of me. She treats me like her sister. I don't believe that everything she did is fake because you can't fake such sincere kindness and care for someone. I believe she was sincere to me all along."
After hearing Yesseca's words, Essie's expression darkened. "Do you mean to say that I'm the one that is lying to you?"
Yesseca said nothing.
After a moment of silence, she gave Essie a deep look. "Essie, I trust Selina."
She did not answer Essie's question directly, but her lack of answer clearly stated her stance.
She believed Selina.
Essie sneered.
She knew that it was useless to say anything more.
Because Yesseca was simply an idiot.
An idiot like her brother.
For the sake of Selina, Lothar could sacrifice his own life, and Yesseca could disregard her brother.
Fine!
That was totally great!
Wasn't Yesseca going to disregard her brother?!
Then she would let Yesseca take a good look at her own brother.
Would she really remain unmoved seeing her brother standing in front of her?
Essie suddenly whistled.
That whistle was shrill and mysterious, making people feel goosebumps hearing it.
Essie then opened the door of the room.
A man walked in.
No, he wasn't walking.
He had jumped in.
Just like how zombies jumped in movies.
Both Selina and Yesseca were speechless seeing the man jumping in.
This was because even though the man's face was extremely pale and his eyes were as if they were fake, they could still recognize that he was Lothar.
"Lothar!"
"Brother!"
Both the women's voices rang out in the room.
