Josephine was dazed.
She was stunned while her mind was blank. She was too shocked to react for a very long while.
Zayne waved a hand in front of her, but Josephine did not seem to react to that either.
Zayne reached out to pinch hard at her earlobes. The pain from this pulled Josephine's consciousness back to the present.
She stared blankly at Zayne. "What about my brother?”
Jay Ares had always been the pillar of hope for the Ares family. In the face of such misfortune, it would make sense that he was the first person Josephine thought of.
Zayne replied, "He's back at Tourmaline Estate now that he has ensured Angeline and their three kids would be taken care of. He has resigned to sharing the Ares family's fate with Grand Old Master and everyone else."
Josephine's complexion paled. Jay must really be out of options to go so far as creating a path for Sis Angeline and the three children to escape.
"Then... when is this disaster due?" Josephine prayed and hoped that the day would come later.
Zayne was upset. "The Signal of Death D13 has already
appeared on one of Tourmaline Estate's towers. 13 represents the deadline, and it's four days from now."
Josephine’s eyes widened...
A heart-wrenching scream echoed in the room. "No!"
It was followed by a strong struggle against the shackles around her hands. She began to shout, "Let m e go, Zayne. I want to go home, I want to go home."
Not knowing what to do with Josephine's sudden emotional outburst, Zayne began to console Josephine with all he could. "It’ll be alright, Josephine. Stop, please."
There was no way Josephine could quiet down, not when her body seemed to be possessed by some prehistoric monstrous creature. She was struggling and yelling with everything within her.
"I have to apologize to my father, Zayne. I've misunderstood him. Please, let me at least see him one last time. Let me apologize."
