Chapter 241: Breaking Barriers
Chapter: Breaking Barriers
Adam leaned back in his chair, his face a mask of frustration. Samuel’s cold, clipped response hung in the air, each word like a lock sealing off possibilities.
"No," Samuel repeated, his voice devoid of empathy. "I can’t release her."
Adam gets very upset and does not know what to do about Samuel because all the answers he has given so far are very infuriating, but he is trying to control himself.
Adam exhaled sharply, shaking his head. His thoughts raced, desperate to find a solution. There must be a way to free Christina. I can’t waste time here arguing with him. Who knows what condition she’s in?
He doesn’t see any way out for now, but he must find one soon, as he can’t allow his own creation to be shielded by Samul for much longer.
His gaze shifted, landing on Emily. She sat motionless, her head bowed and her face hidden behind a curtain of white hair.
Her hands clutched the armrests of her chair tightly, her knuckles white.
Every now and then, a faint shiver ran through her body as the residual effects of the interrogation and Samuel’s manipulations clung to her like a dark cloud.
Emily is extremely scared, especially thinking about how Adam will torture her. She is somehow managing to hold herself together, but she doesn’t know for how long she will be able to do so.
Adam studied her closely. There was fear in her every movement, but there was also something deeper—perhaps a sense of resignation. He wondered about her story, the path that had led her to this point.
