Chapter 90
She was more than happy to send Yeva to jail for what she had done to her. After all, it was Yeva and Julian who had schemed against her.
It was kind enough that Sage had allowed her to live and had not pressed charges against her.
Sage did not wish to air their family’s dirty laundry for others to see.
Hence, she had come up with her own way of teaching Yeva.
Listening to Yeva’s complaints, Leah looked baffled. “Did Sage really do all these things to you?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Yeva pointed at herself and went on, “Aside from her, who would dare to treat me this way? I’ve been locked up in this room, and I don’t even have anyone to talk to. I’m so glad that you’re here.”
Leah forced a smile. She did not think that she had anything to say to Yeva.
Studying Leah’s expression, Yeva wrapped her hands around Leah’s and asked, “Leah, are you still mad about what did to you when we were young?”
Leah bit down on her lip without saying anything.
“I was young back then, and I was clueless. Plus, I didn’t do it on purpose. In fact… there is something that I’ve been hiding from you. “Yeva hesitated.
Looking at her, Leah asked, “What is it?”
Yeva was burning with jealousy and resentment. “We are a part of the Norahs too. So, why is she treated differently? Do you think that she’s nice just because she gave you a dress or a piece of cake? She is simply satisfying her pride by doing so. Why don’t you get it? In her eyes, we are just dust, and she could get rid of us easily. We have to come together to get rid of her!”
Leah asked, “What’s your plan?”
“I’ve already gotten on her bad side, and she is wary of me now. But it’s a different case for you since you just got here. Let’s start by gaining her trust.”
Yeva continued, “As soon as she starts trusting you, it’ll be easy for us to deal with her. I’ll be waiting for the day she comes begging on her knees!”
Looking at Yeva’s twisted face, Sage’s eyes darkened.
Sage thought about what her mother had once said to her, “Some people are just born evil, and there is nothing you can do to save o r change them. But when they’re rotten to their core, that would be the time when you have to get rid of them.”
