Chapter 716 Veronica's Punishment from Jane
Day Seventy-Six…
~~*****~~
[ At Towerville City Police Precinct… ]
Jane met Axel in the police station. She was expecting to see Nathan but he didn't come.
"Where is your Boss?" Jane asked Axel, her eyes roaming around and searching for Nathan.
"Apology, Miss Jane. He can't come today. But he told me to assist you," Axel responded with a sheepish smile.
He didn't have any idea why Nathan suddenly changed his mind. He was supposed to come to the precinct, accompanying Jane. However, he suddenly informed Axel that he couldn't make it today.
"Is he busy with work?" Jane was a little bit disappointed. She wanted to see Nathan and thank him for what he did for her. He punished the King Stallion Mafia for her sake.
"Probably, Miss Jane. He had an important company meeting today." Axel replied, clueless of Nathan's true intention.
Little did they know, Nathan didn't show up because of Jane's father. Mr. Hiroshi threatened Nathan to avoid Jane. Mr. Hiroshi made him feel guilty for what he did to Jane. Jane's father was so determined to keep them apart.
Mr. Hiroshi's words had a great effect on Nathan. For now, he needed to fix his relationship with Jane's father before he could see her. He would like to respect Mr. Hiroshi's decision. But at the same time, he would do his best to win Mr. Hiroshi's acknowledgment and get his forgiveness. This was the least he could do for Jane.
"Let's go, Miss Jane. I already arranged this with the Chief of Police. You can meet Veronica privately. No one will interfere," Axel informed her.
Jane just nodded her head with a smile before following Axel. He led her the way to the private room where Veronica was being detained.
The double doors flung open and Jane emerged from it. Veronica was shocked beyond belief the moment she saw her.
'What the hell is she doing here? The assassin can come and go in a police precinct?' Veronica's eyes widened as she gritted her teeth. She even became furious when she saw Axel with Jane.
"Both of you are working together. What a hypocrite! Your boss hated this woman to the core! How could you bring an assassin here?" Veronica snarled at them.
Axel and Jane just ignored her words. "Leave us alone, Axel. I'll deal with her myself."
Axel bobbed his head before turning around to leave. "I'll wait for you outside."
Jane shifted her gaze back to Veronica. She was sneering at her tauntingly. "We've given you one last chance. But you chose to join forces with Nathan's enemy. Where did your loyalty go, Veronica?"
"Shut up! Phantomflake! Loyalty? I made a lot of sacrifices for Nathan, but in the end, I was taken for granted! He chose to protect that bitch! And he even forgave you!" Veronica was referring to Abigail.
Jane raised her eyebrow and said, "Oh, that's why you created that lethal poison to kill my sister." She just revealed her connection with Abigail, adding more emotional stress to Veronica.
"What do you mean? Sister?" She asked her in confusion. 'What is she talking about? And how did she learn about the lethal poison?' she thought to herself.
"Abigail is my sister." Jane declared, her eyes staring at her sharply.
Veronica: "..."
Veronica was flabbergasted when she heard that. Both Monica and Veronica weren't aware that Jane and Abigail were siblings. In fact, Vincent chose to hide this information from Monica.
"How could that be possible?" She asked in disbelief. Soon, a realization had dawned on her. "Is that the reason why Nathan has forgiven you? He is madly in love with Abigail and because you are sisters, Nathan set aside his revenge!"
Jane let out a sarcastic laugh. "What revenge? There is no reason for him to continue his revenge. Monica is alive. And Monica stole my identity as Shining Star. Your sister is smarter than you, Veronica. She even played you. And you let her use you again for her own benefits." Jane was trying to stir a conflict between Monica and Veronica.
"You were wrong! I'm the one who is using her!" Veronica spat back at her, refusing to admit defeat.
Jane shook her head and clicked her tongue. "Is that so? Then why is it you are the one being imprisoned here, instead of her? She is enjoying her freedom while you are locked here." Jane kept provoking her. She even moved closer to Veronica, grabbing her jaws using her fingers.
Veronica could only glare at Jane, unable to refute her words. Jane was right. She was the one suffering, not Monica. She felt very unfortunate, having an unlucky fate.
"What do you want from me?" Veronica pulled her face out of Jane's grip.
"Hmm. Just simple. I came here to collect your debts. Are you willing to pay for them with your life?" Jane said to her meaningfully, gripping her shoulders tightly. Her nails dug into Veronica's flesh.
"Let go of me! This is the police station. You can't touch me here. You can't kill me!" Veronica tried to mask her fear by yelling at Jane. Deep inside, she was scared to death. Phantomflake could kill her there.
"Veronica… I'm Phantomflake, remember? I'm an assassin. I know many ways to kill my target. I'm using poison as well. And I brought one for you." Jane picked something inside her pocket. It was a serum with a green color.
Veronica could no longer hide the fear in her eyes. "You will be imprisoned if you kill me here! The police will know."
Jane let out another chuckle. "Trust me. They won't suspect me. Besides, this poison will not kill you immediately. Once I inject this into you, you have one week before you eventually die."
"Fuck you, Bitch!" Veronica wanted to struggle but she was handcuffed. She stood up, stepping away from Jane.
"Why getting mad? I'm just giving you the taste of your own medicine. You also want to poison me and my sister."
Veronica ran in the direction of the door. She began banging the door using her fists. She started screaming for help. "Someone! Help me!!! Is anyone there? Phantomflake is trying to kill me! Please let me out!"
Jane just watched Veronica leisurely as she prepared the syringe. "If you want to prolong your life, then you must do something for me. Drag your sister here. Ruin her. Then I'll give you the antidote. You only need to choose. Your life or Monica's life? It's an easy choice."
"You have to do it yourself. Destroy your sister with your own hands." Jane added.
After saying those words, Jane traced her steps toward Veronica. "No! Don't come closer! Stay away from me!" Veronica started to panic.
But Jane didn't waste any more time. She pushed her on the door and held her in place. Veronica couldn't fight back. Jane was more powerful than her. She managed to immobilize Veronica, administering the poison to the back of her neck.
"Aaahhh!" Veronica screamed, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety. "I don't want to die! Please I don't want to die."
The moment Jane released her Veronica dropped on her knees, begging her.
Jane was satisfied to see Veronica cower in fear. "Just do it. You will live after you destroy your evil sister."
