Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Yes, I am an ungrateful person, so...

Kirsty was taken aback by my preemptive move. After a moment's hesitation, she sneered, "Are you questioning me?"

What else?

I really want to throw up my hands and say, "Do whatever you want," but I don't dare.

Although the Jane family can no longer exchange interests with the Horry family because of my existence, they do not lack allies who can cooperate in this chaotic situation.

In other words, it's only a matter of time before Tiwen enters the Senate. Because of this relationship, I can't distance myself from Kirsty.

Now the question is, how can I portray myself as an innocent victim when I am caught cheating and there is solid evidence?

Should I just throw my hands up and say, "He seduced me, I'm innocent"?

Of course not! Xiaobai, the love expert, has evolved into a master after these days of life and death trials. It's really low to be so irresponsible as to simply blame your lover. After all, I know my own limitations. If I don't want to take action, no one can wield my pickaxe.

So how can I take the main responsibility and make Kirsty feel sorry for me at the same time?

That is of course avoiding the important issue.

Yes, I did initiate the affair, and I was indeed so bewildered by her beauty that I lost all sense of purpose.

But there is a reason for this!

Now please watch my performance.

The corners of my lips trembled slightly, and various emotions mixed together in my eyes, complicated and painful. Then a tear hung in the corner of my eye, creating a joint interpretation of the so-called "fragmented" and "cold moonlight forced to be stained by dust" atmospheres.

Don’t worry about how I did it, the point is that life-or-death situations can help people grow.

"Kirsty, I, I don't want to question you, I just can't control my emotions."

"Hey, what did you mean just now? Are you trying to get revenge on me? Weren't you the one who made the mistake in the first place?" Kirsty's rage intensified. She quickly walked over and grabbed my collar. "You've been very busy today. You just got involved with the Horry family at the hotel, and then tonight you got involved with the captain's adopted son. Now you finally remember me?"

"What qualifications do you have to question me and my fiancé? Didn't you know from the beginning that I had a fiancé who was about to get married?"

Whoa whoa! Are you starting to talk without thinking now?

If you are like this, I must pretend to be in pain and collapse.

"Kirsty!" I stared at him with my eyes wide open in disbelief, my face pale. "You, you are..."

Kirsty also realized what she had said in a fit of rage.

But in this situation, surrendering would make one inferior, so his eyes were even colder. "Don't you understand? You knew I had a fiancé, yet you still maintained a relationship with me. What kind of person are you? Do I need to tell you?"

"Kirsty, don't, I beg you, don't say it, the only thing I don't want to hear from your mouth is these words..." My voice was choked with sobs and my eyes were red.

This pitiful appearance further pushed Kirsty's mind and made him start talking without thinking.

"You just saw that I couldn't walk..." Kirsty stared into the eyes of the person in front of her, and said the last two words without making any sound, but made clear lip movements.

I was shocked, my face turned pale as paper, and I couldn't move.

Deathly silence filled the room, entangling the two people standing in the center.

Kirsty looked at the woman's face, and excitement and joy surged in her heart.

Just one sentence can make her emotions fluctuate drastically, which means it's love.

But what followed was even more violent anger.

So Kirsty loosened her grip and pushed the woman away, "Get out."

The woman remained motionless, her expression still dull.

"Get out!" Kirsten repeated.

Finally, the woman spoke.

Her voice was hoarse, as if something was pinching her throat, and every time she spoke, it was hoarse and painful.

"Kori Yalun from the Hori family hated me because of what happened last night, so he forcibly dragged me to the hotel this afternoon, regardless of my wishes."

"He asked me to give up my position in the Senate and hand it over to your Jane family."

"They also plan to take action against the Scott family tonight."

Kirsty paused abruptly, staring intently at the woman's talking mouth.

"My mind was in a mess at the time, and he suddenly entered a susceptible period. My mind was full of you, and when I woke up, I had already done everything."

"After leaving the room, I ran into Mr. Weisha again. His attitude towards me was strange, and I was very afraid of him. No, I was afraid of every member of the Horry family. Every one of them wanted me dead."

"And then, and then..." The woman was in great pain, as if she was being pulled repeatedly by something. However, she could not make any expression due to the excessive pain. She could only mechanically and numbly tell what happened today with a pale face.

"And then I killed Olvera... I didn't want to die, Kirsty. I didn't want to die, but it seemed like I really deserved to die. I thought I could save both of them, but I found out I couldn't, and I even killed one of them myself."

After the woman said this, she suddenly smiled without any emotion.

"I shouldn't question you. I have no right. You're right, Kirsty. I want to survive, by any means necessary. No matter how you scold me or accuse me, you're not wrong. It's just my problem."

She looks very miserable...

In fact, every time they met after arriving in Ascending City, she was in a state of disarray. It was as if she was the most miserable and suffering person in the world, but no one felt sorry for her. Instead, they thought she deserved it.

He was confusedly involved in the power struggle, confusedly killed Zeng Jin's lover and good friend, and finally confusedly was scolded by his lover.

I was so confused that I didn't even know how to defend myself. I just stated the facts and felt guilty about the questions I accidentally blurted out when I broke down.

Kirsty's mouth opened and closed as she watched the woman lose all expression as if all emotion had been removed from her after she finished speaking, then she turned and walked away.

"It's useless!" Kirsty's emotion caught in her throat.

She is still moving forward.

Kirsty eagerly held her back, looking at her with burning eyes, "Bai Wuyong, tell me first, why did the leader let you enter the Senate!"

The woman lowered her eyes, her face still pale. "She arranged for me to be engaged to his adopted son. I have some connections to the Scott family. The head of the jury wanted to seize the power of the jury, so he targeted the deputy head. The Horry family was the head of the jury's original partner, and they planned to use me and sacrifice me."

"But I wanted to survive, so last night I joined the captain in blocking the deputy captain who was trying to escape."

"She wanted to support someone who was completely under her control, so I became her target."

Kirsty's heart was beating wildly, and anger kept hitting his brain. "Why didn't you tell me! Bai Wuyong, what do you think of me?"

"..." She began to tremble again. "I'm afraid I'll never see you again, Kirsty. I'd rather live and see you get married than die and never see anything. I'm selfish. I don't want to die. I'll go to hell and you'll go to heaven, and then our souls won't be able to see each other."

Kirsty suddenly laughed.

He laughed heartily and joyfully, but soon his expression changed to one of pity, "How pitiful, so useless."

"You're pitiful and adorable. You'd do anything to be with me. You're not confused at all. You're smarter than everyone else."

The woman seemed to have been awakened by him. She could no longer hold back and buried her face in his neck, sobbing softly, "Kirsty, I'm sorry to Olvera, I'm sorry to Levin, I'm sorry to you. I shouldn't have done this, but I'm really selfish. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"I want to live, I want to continue looking at you, and now I don't even want you to get married. I hope you will wait for me, until I can really enter the Senate, until I can get rid of the head of the group..."

Cry and show weakness, and hand over the handle appropriately.

Although it is disgusting to call this behavior love, it is undeniably useful.

Kirsty picked up a strand of hair between breaths.

But soon his hand was held by another hand wet with liquid, which pushed him to even higher levels of pleasure.

"Wait a minute, I'll trim your hair," said Kirsty.

The woman didn't answer, but her wet eyes answered for her.

It's always like this, thought Kirsty.

In the entire Ascending City, she was the most pitiful. Helpless and confused, even kissing and sex were filled with pleading and dependence, as if she wanted to vent all her emotions into his bones.

Who else but herself could tolerate her and clear away so many troubles for her? If it weren't for herself, she would surely die.

"Hiss—" Kirsty raised her head and helplessly removed the hand that was pulling his hair. "Use less force. It's useless."

The woman lowered her eyes slightly, and an aggrieved and pitiful expression appeared on her pale face.

After a surge of passion, Kirsty found the scissors while the woman went to wash up.

As an omega, Kirsty learned a lot of caring skills from the academy.

Cooking, dressing, and taking care of her image. In order to be the good wife behind the alpha, she became a bottomless container, constantly accommodating and supporting those who fell.

The messy hair fell off, and the freely growing tail was trimmed into the shape of a young wolf.

I looked at the woman's face in the mirror and the focused face behind her, and my mind began to empty again.

What time is it? How's things going with Cutler? How's things going with the organization? Will Ali find my wallet and take $10,100?

These problems were soon replaced by more complex ones.

Horry and Jane's cooperation has been interrupted. Who will Jane cooperate with in order to enter the Senate?

Now that Dutalia has revealed her identity as a rebel, how will Carter take over the power she once held on the jury? Can I use Tiwen in the Senate? What questions will the reporters ask me tomorrow?

How should I canvass for votes? How should I properly deal with Sinluoya? Will the people of Keya District support me?

The most important point: how should I use my position as a senator to benefit myself.

Can I just kill Corey Lun and replace him with someone from the organization?

No, that's too direct, and Carter will be suspicious.

I have to think of other ways to make Coriaron step down on his own, or even better, let him nominate my people to take over.

Who is suitable to go up?

The last strand of hair fell to the ground, and I came to my senses and looked at myself in the mirror again.

The black hair was no longer messy, but fell down smoothly and neatly.

A strand of black hair was simply tied with a rubber band, like an ambitious wolf's tail, stretching its growing body.

I thought again of the words that Ansa had used to scold me.

Ungrateful person...Haha, isn't it?

Bai Wuyin is an ungrateful person. He puts on the skin of "Bai Wuyong" and accepts support from those who support him, but then turns around and kills those who support him.

What else could he be but an ungrateful person?

He is cold-hearted, curses everyone, and then continues to climb up by any means necessary. He deserves to be scolded.

"Ms. Bai, I heard that you were close friends with Olvera Scott and Levin Scott back in the slums, and with their help, you were able to come to Uptown and work in the court. But yesterday, you pulled the trigger and killed Olvera without hesitation. Don't you think that this is an act of repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Ms. Bai, your fingerprints were found on the box found during the inspection of Scott Manor yesterday. Do you have anything to explain?"

"There's been news that you and the leader's adopted son, Kanoka, have been intimate. What's your relationship?"

"Dutalia publicly stated that the order to bomb the slums, where hundreds of thousands of people were killed, came from the upper echelons of Ascend City, and you were the first to expose the case. Can we reasonably suspect that you played a significant role?"

"Ms. Bai—"

I stand in the spotlight, on a high platform.

People's eyes were focused on me and the sound of flash cameras kept ringing.

In the noisy scene, I raised my hand slightly and the people below stopped talking.

Is this what it feels like to be on top?

It's really interesting, I like it very much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to answer your questions." I adjusted the microphone and said to the people below.

A reporter raised her hand. "Ms. Bai, could you explain your act of repaying kindness with enmity?"

I nodded slightly at him. "I feel guilty, but if I had to do it again, I would still do it."

Everyone was in an uproar.

I remained unmoved, still standing on the podium, looking down at the reporter who asked the question, my face serious and my eyes determined. "I believe that all those present who are loyal to the government and Baideng Bay will make the same choice as me."

"It's undeniable that I did kill Olvera. He was a very good man. In the slums, he was an upright police inspector who stood up for the citizens. Even in the Uptown, he cared about me. But when it comes to true principles, I can't protect him."

"There are rumors that you are the third party that caused the breakdown of their marriage. How do you respond?" A gossip reporter stepped forward.

The question was too obscene, but enough to attract attention.

I remained expressionless. After looking him up and down, I said, "There's a rumor going around that you relied on illicit connections to get into the venue and interview me. How do you respond?"

The gossip reporter's face turned pale and blue.

I averted my gaze. "They are rebels, but that doesn't mean you can wantonly insult their character and dignity. They have already been punished by the law, and you, as an unrelated person, have no right to judge them from a high position. This not only fails to demonstrate your fairness and justice, but only exposes your vulgarity and shamelessness."

No one paid any attention to the gossip reporter, and soon someone else couldn't wait to ask questions.

Some questions are meaningless, some are sensitive and sharp, and some are tricky.

Slums, Dutalia, hundreds of thousands of lives, Kanoka, the leader...

In between answering, I actually had some free time to daydream.

So I've only been in the slums for less than two months? Why are there so many words? And why have I come into contact with so many people?

What did I think at first?

Become an intern in the court archives, just waiting to die, and play some harmless forced love script with Levin?

But what about me now? What should I do?

"Ms. Bai, could you please give an evaluation of the current jury system and Senate system?" someone asked.

I took a deep breath, clearly imprinted the reporter's face in my mind, and coldly spat out a few words: "Garbage."

"Only a jury of thirty people decides on most projects in Ascend City, while the people in the Senate are idle and only know how to raise taxes and control public opinion in the Keya District."

"They manipulate public opinion and school materials, fooling the people of Keya District into believing that accepting Upward City's garbage and paying taxes is their natural right. But the citizens of Keya District are human too, we are all human. Why should we sacrifice ourselves to support others?"

"Over a hundred thousand lives in the slums were lost at the hands of the people of White Light Bay and Uptown. What about the citizens of Keya District?"

The reporter stepped forward and asked a more pointed question, "Ms. Bai, do you think the military zone is unable to resist the rebels and will definitely abandon the citizens of the Keya District in the future?"

I said sarcastically, "Maybe?"

The noise, the shouting, the cursing, and the flashing lights.

I saw Cutler's stiff smile, which he couldn't maintain.

What's there to be angry about? Isn't this what you want?

Be a lone wolf with no one to rely on except yourself, get the votes of the citizens of the Keya District, and then willingly support Katsuna.

Now I have done so well that I have become the target of the entire Ascending City, and you can control me.

You shouldn't be angry.

I'm just dragging you into this, Captain. After all, no one has stipulated that if you forcefully bind me, I can't forcefully bind you as well.
