Chapter 703 - Unpardonable Crime (2/2)
Destiny scoffed, ”Then what? You want to make my life a living hell like the typical villain?” She gave a self-abasing laugh as she added, ”You've already done that though. I've to live with the guilt of trying to kill my mother every day for the rest of my life now!”
”Trying? You've already killed her. I heard her condition isn't very optimistic.”
Destiny's heart sank even more, along with it dropped her d_e_s_i_r_e for anything else.
”Then do me a favor and please end this life of mine.”
Xin Suyin looked at Destiny and stayed quiet for a long moment before she opened her mouth to say, ”Do you know for the longest time I actually thought you're Zemin's illegitimate child?” Destiny's eyes widened. ”The idea of Zemin cheating on Zhao Huan sounded so natural that I never questioned it. Or I just didn't want to. Do you know why?”
Obviously, she wasn't getting an answer from Destiny.
”I've never believed in love. Even the strongest of love breaks in the tides of life. I always believed in possession, if you can't get it, snatch it. If it can't be yours, end it. Maybe this is why I felt really happy knowing that Zemin cheated on his wife. It made my belief stronger that no relationship can be perfect.” She closed her eyes and sat down at the windowsill. ”But only recently I got to know that he never cheated on his wife. He really had been a loyal person. It really made me angry. I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop my jealousy from burning into anger. You're just taking the burnt of it now.”
Destiny's eyes were complicated before it turned frosty, ”Your point is?”
Xin Suyin looked at Destiny's face. The girl before her had piercings, tattoos, disheveled hair that hid half of her face. It had always been like this. She really couldn't see the image of either Xin Zemin or Zhao Huan in her. All she saw was a rebellious brat trying to claw anything or everything.
She exhaled a long breath and said, ”You won't get it. You're really young.” Then she stood up and turned to leave before instructing her people, ”Drop her off wherever she wants to go.”
Destiny was taken aback, ”You're not gonna kill me?”
”I can't kill someone who is already dead,” started Xin Suyin. ”You died the moment you realized what you did to your own mother. I don't think there is another worse way to die.”
”Do you think if you let me go today, I won't come back to take my revenge?”
”You can try that little girl but I'd advise you against it. Your fight had never been with me. This time if you showed up, even I won't be able to save you.”
Destiny watched her leave with a very calm face. After tossing and turning she had come to one realization, she had already done an unpardonable crime. Whether she stayed alive or died, it didn't matter. Nothing could wash the blood off of her hands in this life. She'd be just a sinner.
