Chapter 280: How did I not sense it?’
At the same time, Jackson sat behind the wheel while waiting for Fil. His expression was dark and solemn, deep in thought.
Just now, he already told her half of the story.
He already revealed details he never thought he would tell her in this lifetime. But alas, things happened.
’Is this simply a coincidence?’ he wondered. ’Or... was it divine intervention?’
As mentioned, Filomena, or what she was known as Latrice, was confirmed to be the daughter of evil. Her entire existence was a curse, even to the gods.
Despite living many lifetimes as humans, she would always have that curse in her.
Telling her, or rather, reminding her of who or what she was, might awaken the devil within her. Hence, Jackson was reconsidering whether this was a divine intervention or purely a coincidence.
Jackson clenched his teeth and sighed deeply. He pinched the bridge of his nose, telling himself even if it was divine intervention, he had to tell her. With Quentin lingering in their shadows, Jackson must tell her before Quentin does.

Even during their time, Quentin managed to keep an angelic image. He was renowned as the crown prince who returned grievances with virtue. A good man — a very good man who was so clean, it was unbelievably suspicious. But behind that good image, Jackson knew what kind of person Quentin could be if he wanted to.
