Upon hearing those words, Jewel was stunned. Memories flooded back to her like a rushing river, reminding her of what happened six years ago.

After Olivia and the others left, Joseph suddenly became nice to her.

He would frequently seek her out, being concerned and caring for her, and even going so far as to bring a doctor and provide her with medicine. In his words and actions, he clarified that he wanted her to be with him.

She understood his intentions.

Although Joseph's appearance was not pleasing to the eye, his position as the second-in-command of the Double Dragon Court made him an influential figure. Who wouldn't want to be associated with him?

Countless women would hover around him every day, even to the point of fighting over him.

But she didn't care. With her strength, she didn't need to rely on her looks to gain anything. Moreover, she wouldn't stoop so low as to crowd around him like the other women.

Furthermore, his attitude toward women was always fickle.

Why would she degrade herself?

That was why she would pretend not to understand every time he hinted at something.

Of course, in Joseph's words, her disdain was seen as an inability to adapt and appreciate his kindness.

Now, he was repeating the same old tune, trying to convince her how great it would be to stay by his side.

She chuckled coldly.

But that only angered Joseph. "What are you laughing at?"

Jewel replied, "I'm laughing at myself for not agreeing with you. It was the right decision."

Joseph was furious. He grabbed Jewel by the collar and said, "Jewel, don't you know how to appreciate someone? It's a shame that I still have some sympathy for you."

Knowing she was no match for him, Jewel didn't struggle, but a sinister smile appeared on her face as she said, "Even though I'm not by your side, you still have so many women surrounding you. Not all women are willing to share a man with others, Joseph. Also, shared... shared things are never valued."

His face turned pale with anger as he tightened his grip on her collar.

As Joseph's strength increased, Jewel's face turned from pale to blue, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she even felt a sense of relief. After living for so many years and experiencing a deeply memorable, loving relationship, she felt it was worth it even if she died.

It was just a pity that she hadn't rescued Olivia and the other little ones yet, and she hadn't told Alex

that she loved him, even though they already understood each other without words.

But not saying it aloud felt like something was missing.

If only she could meet him a little earlier in her next lifetime and never leave him or come to this cursed place again.

Perhaps there were too many regrets, or being strangled was uncomfortable. A tear suddenly rolled down her cheek without warning.

It fell directly on Joseph's hand, causing a sudden burning sensation that made him instinctively let go.

Jewel could breathe again, but then she started coughing violently.

Joseph was also puzzled by his own actions. Why did I let go of the woman who seemed to be seeking death? No, she can't die yet. She still has value.

After finding a reasonable excuse for himself, he cruelly smiled at her. "Do you know why I treated you so well during that time? I even wanted you to be my girlfriend."

She continued coughing, ignoring his words.

He didn't need her response and continued, "It's because I mistook you for the person I was looking for. She is now by my side, and I will cherish her for the rest of my life. As for you, you will become an experiment."
