Nicole was very pleased with Lynde's wit.
She whispered, "Ysabel looks just like Fill's dead fiancée."
Hearing this, Lynde was stunned.
That was it!
No wonder Fill was so kind to Ysabel!
No wonder Fill would be stabbed by her!
That was the reason!
Lynde frowned tightly.
"I've heard from Samuel that Ysabel's face hasn't been altered, so it's very likely that she has some sort
of kinship with Whitney. Go find someone to check Ysabel's identity and background," Nicole sighed
softly.
After knowing Fill's experience, Lynde felt a little uncomfortable.
"Even if she looks like Fill's former fiancée, that can't erase the fact that she stabbed Fill and killed
Dennis."
"Fill would make the decision when he wakes up. Samuel and I both hope that Fill can let go of his
obsession with Whitney and start a new life. Don't you feel the same way? Go investigate Ysabel's true
identity first. As for the rest, wait for Fill to wake up."
Nicole's words made Lynde a little nervous.
"Nicole, could Fill wake up? He has lost so much blood and his face is so pale. We are all afraid..."
"Of course! With Samuel and Blair here, they could save him."
Nicole smiled gently at him. Lynde gradually calmed down.
"I will ask those guys not to do anything out of line to Ysabel during this period. Nicole, don't worry. I
also believe that if Fill wakes up, he will explain to us."
"Of course."
Nicole nodded and walked to the door of the room where Ysabel was being held.
There were four men guarding the door, and there were hounds crouching behind them. Ysabel
couldn't even get out even if she wanted to escape.
When they saw Nicole, they were stunned for a moment and respectfully greeted Nicole.
"Open the door. I'll go in and take a look."
Nicole nodded and walked into the room under their gazes.
When Ysabel heard the door open, she subconsciously turned around. However, when she saw Nicole,
Ysabel felt at a loss and became somewhat desperate.
"Who are you? Did you come here to kill me?"
Ysabel's voice was gentle.
Before seeing Ysabel, Nicole thought that Ysabel was a beautiful and sexy woman, but at the moment
she saw Ysabel, Nicole realized that she was wrong.
Ysabel had an oval face. Her facial features were very delicate. She didn't look alluring. However, she
was very gentle and amiable. It seemed that people would like her and get along with her.
Ysabel didn't have the temperament or coldness of a killer, but she looked the same as a little girl.
Nicole walked over and sat beside Ysabel.
Nicole noticed that Ysabel was tightly twisting the hem of her clothes, and her knuckles had turned
pale.
Ysabel was uneasy.
Was it because she didn't kill Fill?
Or was she worried that Fill would die?
"Fill may not be able to survive," Nicole couldn't figure it out and whispered.
"Is that so?"
Ysabel murmured.
Even though Ysabel quickly lowered her head, Nicole still saw a trace of unease and guilt.
Guilt?
Would Ysabel feel guilty towards Fill?
Nicole did not know, but asked in a low voice, "Do you have a grudge against Fill?"
"No, I didn't know him before."
Ysabel's words stunned Nicole again.
"Then why did you kill him?"
"Would you believe it's because I'm stupid?"
Ysabel smiled, but she the smile was bitter.
It had been several hours since Fill had been carried away and rescued. She had been thinking of
Jarrod's ruthless words to her.
From the beginning, Jarrod wanted to use her face, and his sweet words and promises to her were all
fake.
He was just using her.
What was ridiculous was that she did not understand this until today.
Ysabel told her story to Nicole.
Ysabel knew that she would undoubtedly die, but she was unwilling.
She loved the wrong person. She killed an innocent man for him and now she even had to lose her life.
Her sins might not even be washed away in the underworld. How could the man who used her not be
punished?
She hated him!
She hated Jarrod's scheming and training.
She hated Jarrod's hypocrisy and promises.
She found that she had never hated Fill from beginning to end.
Even if Fill had forced her, her hatred towards him was not as strong as that towards Jarrod.
When she injured Fill, she felt even guilty and sad.
Now that she knew that Fill would not survive, Ysabel would not hesitate to pay with her life.
However, she was unwilling!
Ysabel said hatefully, "I wish I could skin Jarrod alive. If he doesn't love me, he shouldn't use me."
"There aren't so many things in this world that were definite. Ysabel, he used you because you were
willing."
Nicole's words stunned her, and Ysabel felt a trace of embarrassment.
"Yes, I am. I know I don't deserve him, but I believe him when he says he likes me and that he will
marry me. Do I really believe it? Or do I want to give myself an excuse? I can't figure it out now. Forget
it. I've paid what I owe him. From now on, I will have nothing to do with Jarrod. I was taken back by him
and raised up. After this, I no longer owe him anything. The only person I owe is Fill. But if Fill really
dies, I'll pay with my life. There's nothing to regret."
Ysabel calmed down.
She looked out of the window. The sky was already covered by dark clouds.
When had the weather changed?
The sky was sullen, like her mood at this moment.
She was less than twenty years old and still had a long life, but now her life was coming to an end.
Ysabel smiled bitterly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I'm dying, but I don't even know who my parents are and where I came from. It's really sad."
Nicole did not say anything.
Ysabel definitely had something to do with Whitney. This was her intuition. However, what kind of
relationship was it? She had to investigate. It was useless to talk too much now.
She remembered what Ysabel said just now.
"The only thing you owe is Fill's life? Aren't you responsible for Dennis' death?"
Ysabel was slightly stunned. She shook her head and said, "Fill also mentioned Dennis, but I
remember very clearly that I didn't want to hurt anyone when I escaped, so I attacked them on their
shoulders or arms. Then, their strength would decrease, and I could seize the opportunity to rush out. I
avoided their key parts, so Dennis' death has nothing to do with me."
Nicole frowned.
"But Dennis died after being stabbed by you."
"I don't know why, but you have my word. If I did it, I would admit it. If I didn't do it, don't try to blame it
on me. Dennis' death has nothing to do with me. At that time, Fill raped me for Dennis. Fill didn't even
give me the chance to speak. Afterwards, I was immersed in sadness and anger, and didn't hear much
from Fill. Now that Fill is rescued, I can finally calm down and think about what happened these past
few days. Only then did I realize that I didn't kill Dennis. I didn't even think about killing people!"
Ysabel said anxiously.
"Believe me. I really didn't kill him! The only person I want to kill, and the only one I killed, is Fill. I don't
know who you are, but I swear that I'm telling the truth now, not a single word of lies. If I lie, I'll be struck
by lightning and die a terrible death."
Ysabel stared at Nicole.
Nicole felt that she saw the truth in Ysabel's eyes.
One's eyes cannot deceive.
Ysabel said that she didn't kill Dennis, so why would Dennis die?
Nicole frowned tightly.
"I will investigate this matter clearly. Stay here for the time being. As for how you will be dealt with, wait
until Fill wakes up."
After saying that, Nicole's arm was being grabbed by Ysabel.
"Didn't you say Fill would die? You said until he wakes up? Do you mean that he won't die now?"
Nicole looked at Ysabel and whispered, "Even if he isn't dead, do you think you can live? Even if you
can, with Fill's temper and those guys' ways of thinking, do you think living will be happier than death?
Ysabel, you are no longer a child. When you made the decision to kill Fill to please Jarrod, you should
know what kind of price you would pay for this action. No one's life should be used as capital to please
others, so I cannot help you. "
After saying that, Nicole immediately stood up and walked out.
Ysabel seemed to have been hit by Nicole's words and suddenly woke up.
Those wrong ideas of life and that desperate persistence for Jarrod all became so ridiculous and
vulnerable at this moment.
Nicole was right.
No one's life should be taken for granted as capital to please others.
Why did she not understand such a simple thing until today?
However, it was too late, wasn't it?
Ysabel shed tears of regret.
Nicole stood outside the door and heard her cry. Nicole shook her head and said, "Keep an eye on her.
You must keep her life before Fill wakes up."
"Yes, we will."
Nicole nodded and walked towards Samuel.
Nicole was very sympathetic to Ysabel, but sometimes compassion was the most useless thing. This
was something she learned after following Samuel.
Seeing Nicole walk over, Samuel immediately let his men leave and poured her a cup of warm water.
"How is it? Did you get any information?"
"She told me many things, but the most important thing is a man named Jarrod. Ysabel came to
assassinate Fill because of him. Samuel, speaking of Jarrod, I suddenly remembered someone. I
wonder if you still have any impression of him."
Nicole's words stunned Samuel.
"Who?"
