Chapter 373
Joel followed Carol into her room, looking visibly upset.
He said, "Have you forgotten what you promised me? Aren’t we supposed to focus on fighting Genome Society now? What’s the point of provoking Dexter and Sophia?"
She snorted as she sat on the couch. "I’m just playing with them."
Joel scoffed.
"Men are all the same to me." Carol narrowed her eyes in contempt. "But he’s just different. People are drawn to things that are different because they’re rare, aren’t they?*
She wanted Dexter because he was a rare gem-and she would destroy him if she couldn’t have him.
"You’re truly mad!" Joel found Carol crazy, but in reality, her madness had long shown its signs.
Back when they first arrived at the orphanage, she wasn’t ’crazy’ just yet. She was only introverted and preferred to keep to herself. As she was easy to push around, the children in the orphanage took her as an easy target and bullied her.
Simeon couldn’t protect Carol as he was still very young back then. As the older sibling, she had to do everything she could to protect him despite also being a child herself.
The wickedness of human nature was fully on display in that sinful orphanage.
Dexter hadn’t arrived in the orphanage yet that year. It was also the darkest year for both Carol and Simeon.
