"I—"
Zoey's heart quivered and pounded under everyone's gaze; she whispered to Quincy, "I… I can't do it..."
Even though all the pieces of evidence were stacked against Darryl, Zoey still refused to believe that he would do such a despicable thing to her.
Quincy's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. "Zoey, do you still believe in this b*stard?"
"You've helped him so much, and yet he did such a despicable thing to you. Why would you show mercy to someone like him?"
Zoey snapped out of her flustered stupor; her eyes gradually became firmer.
That was right…
Initially, Darryl had changed his name to join the Jade Sect. After Zoey learned the truth, she did not blame Darryl. Instead, she defended him.
However, he…
A seed of resentment sprouted in Zoey's mind when she thought about how she was humiliated and sullied.
Everyone around her was goading her into killing Darryl.
"Zoey, just kill that b*stard."
"Yes, Darryl had the audacity to do that to you, so he should face the consequences."
"Kill him!"
After she heard the instigating crowd, Zoey made a valiant effort to hold the longsword tightly and walked toward Darryl, step by step.
Zoey was only a few feet away from Darryl, and she stopped in her tracks; her expression looked conflicted.
"Zoey."
When he saw Zoey's unsettled gaze, Darryl took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for what happened to you, but it wasn't me. Don't worry; I will find out who is the real culprit," Darryl spoke sincerely.
At the same time, he was very nervous.
Zoey heard Darryl's words, and she frowned. She sank into a muddled state again.
Weston could not hold his silence and yelled, "Zoey, don't listen to his nonsense. Darryl is good at rhetoric, so just do it quickly."
Weston's eyes flashed with excitement when he spoke.
