Chapter 784
Above his head, the anguished cry of Lily tore through the silence.
Jareth’s trembling eyelids shot open, and his pupils which harbored an
impending storm were constricted further.
Atop the diving platform of the swimming complex, Lily, with her hands tightly
bound by coarse rope, and a gun pressed against her head by Jackson, perched
precariously on the edge of the platform.
Below her toes was a terrifying drop, for the pool beneath was bone dry.
“Lilyr
Jareth’s white shirt, stained with blood, was drenched in cold sweat. He took two
steps forward, but Jackson aimed the gun squarely at him to force him back!
“Master, I'm so sorry.” Lily's eyes were brimmed with tears, and her voice was
choked with emotion.
Jareth gazed deeply at her, unblinking, “No, you've never wronged-me, nor do
you owe anyone an apology. Lily, it's I who have brought this upon you. I am the
one who should be sorry.”
Lily's heart clenched painfully.
She had weathered the fiercest storms by her master’s side, so she feared
nothing—not demons nor monsters—except for her master’s apologies.
“Where's Marilla?” Jareth's voice was icy.
Gary leisurely picked up a remote from the table and pressed a button.
From a pitch—dark area on the left came a rumbling sound.
Jareth had his eyes swiftly turned, only to see a massive glass tank on a cart
slowly wheel before him.
With a loud clang, the cart's wheels retracted, and the intricately crafted tank
settled into its designated spot.
Through the clear glass, Marilla, who was unconscious, had her wrists shackled
in iron and was suspended inside. Her once—pure white dress was marred with
filth and bloodstains—she was like a broken doll, violated and trampled upon, now
cruelly displayed in a shop window for all to see.
“Madam!” Lily's tears burst forth.
“Marilla!”
Jareth's eyes reddened as he roared; the tension in his mind was nearly
breaking.
He sprinted forward, pounding the thick glass with clenched fists, kicking and
elbowing it, but the glass was so sturdy that not even a crack appeared.
Inside, the girl remained with her eyes closed.
“Quit yelling, the glass is soundproof, and she can’t hear a thing.”
Gary weighed the remote in his hand, “Your darling wife just fainted. After all the
beatings and torment, who knows when she'll come to senses? Don't you know
how to cherish someone? Jareth, you really should be thanking me. If it weren't
for me, would you have known about the dirty tricks your dear sister was pulling
behind your back? Would you have known that your precious wife has been
bullled by her since middle school?

And surely you didn’t know that Alston was under Edith’s orders when he decided
to marry this girl. That boy has been lusting after her since they were young. The
reason the Abernathy girl has been spiraling into madness over the years is all
thanks to them.
The sister you've cherished for years turned out to be the villain behind the
suffering of your beloved. Hahaha. Jareth, you must be regretting it now, right?
You must feel like vor
so—called affection is a joke,
and wish you could just end yourself, don’t you?”
A tsunami of agony nearly executed Jareth on the spot!
In an instant, every suspicious detail in his mind clicked together.
