?Chapter 993:


    Evelyn’s lips quivered for a fleeting moment, a shadow of fragility crossing her face before vanishing like a wisp. She lifted her chin, her voice resolute as iron. “I want you to hand Antoni over to me.”


    Hand Antoni over to her? I blinked, caught off guard by the unexpected twist. I had assumed she would plead for her own survival, given the dire straits she was in. But this…


    I studied her intently, catching a tangled gleam in her eyes—hatred and bitterness woven together like threads in a tapestry.


    She dipped her head, her tone low yet brimming with unshakable determination. “That’s all I ask. I’ll pledge myself to your cause,bor tirelessly to ensure your triumph.”


    “But there is one condition: when Cody falls, you spare Antoni’s life and use that potion you gave me on him too. I want him bound to me, utterly incapable of betrayal!”


    I narrowed my eyes, silently turning the proposal over in my mind. As long as Antoni drew breath, he would remain a lurking threat—a loose end I couldn’t afford.


    Evelyn, sensing my hesitation, inhaled deeply, her voice hardening with a ruthless edge. “Cripple him, strip him of all power, ensure he never climbs back up. Just let him live—that’s all I need.”


    Her steely conviction rattled me, sowing seeds of doubt about agreeing to such a merciless bargain.


    “Very well, we’ll honor your terms!” Before I could settle my thoughts, Bryan blurted his assent, decisive and unflinching.


    I gaped at him, stunned, but he met my wide-eyed look with a calm, steady reassurance.


    Evelyn’s face lit up with fierce delight as she thrust the box into my hands. “Everything you need is in there. I’ve already set the Harrison estate aze—I must slip back before anyone notices my absence, or I’m done for.”

    I epted the box, its weight settling in my grasp, yet a quiet unease gnawed at me. Evelyn’s fervor, her unhinged obsession, might prove a far deadlier force than we could ever reckon.


    Makenna’s POV:


    I arched a brow, a flicker of astonishment rippling through me.


    Evelyn’s boldness surpassed anything I could have anticipated.


    With unwavering resolve and a fiery spirit, she moved as though no obstacle could ever stand in her way.


    Right from the start, she’d stormed into the pce, masquerading as Anthea’s sibling, spinning a web of deception around the three princes with astonishing ease. Now, her audacity had reached new heights—she’d even set the Harrison family’s grand estate aze, all to snatch those hidden truths. Such reckless behavior could only be called sheer lunacy.


    With a casual flick of my wrist, I gestured for her to take her leave. Catching my signal, Evelyn pivoted sharply and strode out, her pace steady and unyielding, not a trace of doubt in her departure.


    The moment her silhouette vanished past the threshold, I spun toward Bryan, my forehead creasing as unease and bewilderment colored my voice. “Why on earth did you ept her terms? Sparing Antoni is like letting a venomous snake slither free—it’s far too dangerous.”


    A chilling smirk tugged at Bryan’s lips, his eyes glinting with a ruthless edge. “Ending his life would be too merciful. Shattering him, dragging him through torment—that’s a much more intriguing game, don’t you think?”
