?Chapter 1065:


    Could there be any cruelty worse than this?


    Words eluded Anika.


    Eugenia had cautioned her, warning that Rhys was no ally.


    Anika thought she’d prepared for the worst, but she’d been blind. Rhys wasn’t just indifferent—he’d been scheming against them and aiming for their ruin from the start.


    After a prolonged silence, Anika finally raised her head, her gaze steady and unshaken. She said evenly, “Rhys, send Eugenia back to Uwhor, and I’ll create the antidote that will extend your life by another three years.” Anika assumed this was her strongest weapon. She not only held Rhys’ life in her hands but also controlled how many more years he would linger after she was gone.


    Her message was unmistakable—she didn’t trust Rhys’ ims that Anigenia had been destroyed. To her, the organization’s influence was far too extensive for Rhys to dismantlepletely, no matter how much time he’d spent preparing.


    As long as Eugenia drew breath, she would rebuild their empire and avenge Anika’s death.


    Erasing all emotion from her face, Anikaid her demands bare, forcing Rhys to the table. She had epted her own fate, but Eugenia’s suffering—caused by her foolish devotion—was something she could still prevent.


    All she wanted now was for Eugenia to survive.


    Rhys regarded Anika with an icy stare, his eyes devoid of any warmth.


    “The second you left that vi, Eugenia was as good as dead.


    Do you really think you and Eugenia couldn’t return to Uwhor solely because of Kareem’s intervention? Don’t kid yourself. If Anigenia still existed, Kareem wouldn’t have stood a chance.”

    These words crushed Anika’s final hope. Rhys anticipated her disbelief, so he had prepared proof. With a flick of his wrist, his men flung stacks of papers at her. The documents scattered,nding across her face and falling to the floor.


    Rhys sneered, “Want me to list them one by one?”


    Breaking free from her captors’ hold, Anika frantically gathered the papers, her hands trembling. Recognizing the names written on each sheet, herposure disintegrated.


    “No… This isn’t real… It can’t be!” she cried, shaking her head as tears poured freely.


    But deep inside, she knew. The empire she and Eugenia had sacrificed everything for was gone, crushedpletely by Rhys.


    Rhys regarded Anika coldly, contempt etched into every line of his face.


    “Eugenia foresaw this. You’re the only fool left clinging to hope. She was right about you—you’re all bark, no brain.


    And in case you’re still wondering, Eugenia was captured the moment you stepped out of that vi.”


    A deafening crack reverberated through Anika’s mind, her resolve shattering.


    Eyes bloodshot and features contorted with fury, she screamed, “What did you do to her? I’ll kill you!”


    Anika lunged at Rhys with every ounce of strength, but before she could reach him, his men pinned her down, their grip like iron chains.


    Breathing itself became a battle. Rhys chuckled darkly.


    “Rx, I simply killed her.” His words echoed relentlessly in Anika’s ears.


    Her mind wentpletely nk for a moment, and then her entire world came crashing down.
