Chapter 223
"...Master, I'm so sad."
Xiaobai, clutching her phone, scrambled off the sofa to the coffee table. She grabbed a tissue, dabbed it on her face, then flopped back onto the sofa.
The tissue was soaked in an instant as she recalled what had just happened.
'All my little nest egg is gone...'
That was the private stash she had worked so hard to save up.
'I was going to manipulate things from behind the scenes, turn the tables against the odds, and achieve financial freedom right then and there.'
'But I never expected...'
'You were supposed to self-destruct! You didn't play by the rules!'
"What's there to be sad about? It was just a Clone,"
Qin Yang said consolingly, spreading his arms and leaning back comfortably on the sofa, completely missing Xiaobai's hidden meaning.
"So, what do you think? Wasn't your Master's self-destruction a beautiful sight? I always keep my promises."
"No... that's not..."
