Chapter 26

I became speechless again for the second time. I became too appalled to know what other ways Von has suffered in the hands of that evil man.

With trembling hands, I picked up the glass of wine to take a drink but I almost spill it up due to my unstable grip. Fortunately, Von was quick to help me.

"T-thank you." I took a sip to calm my nerves. Hearing all these horrible things from the victim himself is even more disturbing. My admiration for Von just went to the sky because of how he had overcome the difficult situation. If I were in his shoes, I could have been crazy now.

"I'm sorry. This is supposed to be a light dinner to keep you off from the pressure in your office but look what it turned out to be."

"No, no. No need to say sorry. I'm even touched right now because you told me all of these. It means you are trusting me. It's hard to open things like this to anyone, let alone with someone like me. You know, we haven't know each other that much."
