    **Chapter 572 The Price of Greed**


    +10 Free Coins.


    So, the end of the line is prison? If that were the case, shouldn’t she be lying lifeless in some forgotten alley, heart shattered, and spirit crushed?


    Tess’s face was an icy mask, her demeanor bordering on mercilessness.


    Standing resolutely beside her, Raven held her chin high, embodying the essence of a guardian angel, fiercely protective of Tess.


    Tess had an intense aversion to emotional maniption; it was a tactic she loathed more than anything else in the world.


    Tears wouldn’t wash away the stains of your past misdeeds. And attempting to wriggle out of ountability by adopting the role of the victim was nothing short of disgraceful.


    She let out a derisive scoff. “Thew is unwavering. He can’t evade it.”


    Those simple yet powerful words drained the color from Rachel’s face, leaving her in a state of utter destion.


    Tess didn’t spare Rachel a second nce; her attention was firmly fixed on Nichs.


    “When you find yourself behind bars, I’ll ensure that your wife and child are taken care of. Of course, you could always opt to flee. I could have Steven send you straight back to that factory.”


    Tess’s voice was sharp and clear, slicing through the tension in the room.


    Nichs shuddered, his mind racing back to the agonizing days spent in that factory, a ce that haunted his memories.


    He bit down on his lip, desperation creeping into his tone. “What do you want from me?”


    “It’s straightforward. In fact, I’ve alreadyid it out for you.”


    With deliberate care, Tess poured a steaming cup of tea and slid it across the table towards Nichs.


    Nichs’s eyes followed the cup’s movement, his fingers twitching with the urge to grasp it, yet he refrained.


    Tess observed his hesitation and calmly averted her gaze, allowing him a moment of contemtion.


    “When the moment arrives, I’ll step in and help you rify everything. You simply need to exin how Henry coerced you into his schemes and kept both you and your wife imprisoned in that factory, cutting off all contact with the outside world.”


    Tess was direct,ying out her terms with unflinching rity.


    Nichs’s brow remained furrowed, his thoughts churning. He recognized that Tess’s demands were rooted in a sense of justice.


    After all, he was the one who had initially aided Henry in those heinous acts.


    “Once I agree to this, will I…”


    He couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence. Instead, he lifted his gaze, his eyes aze with a mixture of hope and dread as they locked onto Tess.


    His heart raced, fingers digging into his palms as if bracing for a final verdict.


    “When the timees, I will advocate for a reduced sentence on your behalf, but ultimately, the court will make the final call.”


    Tess held his gaze, keenly aware of the moment his emotions crumbled.


    “Back then, when Henry orchestrated Shannon’s fake death and subsequently kept her as his mistress abroad, he only engaged in morally dubious actions that society would frown upon. If we’re discussing criminal charges, there’s little that can be pursued.”


    Lyra chose that moment to interject, her voice steady and authoritative.


    Aside from Tess, she wielded considerable influence in the room, and as soon as she spoke, all eyes turned to her.


    “But he imprisoned you and your wife against your will, confining you both in that factory. If we truly investigate that, it’s far from a trivial matter.”


    Nichs’s eyes lit up at her words, excitement coursing through him, his fingertips trembling in anticipation.


    “Are you suggesting that while I might escape severe punishment, Henry will undoubtedly face substantial consequences?”


    The memories of that harrowing night flooded back to him.


    Henry’s men had stormed into his small, cozy home, shattering the tranquility of his life in an instant.


    “Didn’t I already assist you? What more do you desire from me?”


    Nichs’s eyes widened, disbelief etched across his features as betrayal washed over him.


    No matter how hard he fought, those men had dragged him out, tossing him into a vehicle like a ragdoll.


    Even his wife hadn’t been spared from their brutality.


    His anxiety had only intensified as they were transported to the factory in Aetheris, a ce that was blindingly bright even under the cover of night. It was then that his heart plummeted to its lowest point.


    That night, he had sustained injuries from his desperate attempts to escape, but Henry, fearing that he might divulge the n, had denied him medical care. Even now, he felt the lingering ache in his lower back on cold days.


    Inside the factory, he and his wife weren’t subjected to the same exhaustingbor as the other workers, forced toplete mind-numbing tasks.


    But it felt no different from imprisonment. All their phones and devices that could connect them to the outside world had been confiscated. The dormitory they inhabited was riddled with cameras, stripping them of any semnce of privacy. It was enough to drive his wife to tearste into the night.


    They were ensnared in a gilded cage, utterly isted in an age of digital connectivity, while their child remained out there,pletely out of reach.


    Living in such oppressive darkness, his heart had been consumed by hatred.


    “Theoretically speaking, yes, but your involvement in aiding and abetting did inflict significant harm. Therefore, you won’t walk away entirely unscathed.”


    Lyra chose her words with caution, aware of the delicate bnce of the situation.


    But Nichs, consumed by thoughts of Henry’s treachery, felt a surge of agitation.


    “I’m willing to help, but you must guarantee the safety of my wife and child.”


    Nichs clenched his jaw, frustration boiling beneath the surface.


    If only he had known that epting that meager sum would lead to such chaos and entangle his family in this nightmare, he would have grabbed a broom and chased Henry away the moment he darkened their doorstep.Conclusion
