YM778.TV Chapter 1275 - Not A Saint Nor A Saviour
However, her desire to survive was stronger. She had already long forgotten about her image. She didn\'t care about anything anymore and began crawling on the floor back to Iris Long.
"Stay away," Lu Zihao growled.
Jenny Tseng\'s teeth chattered but she did her best to grit them and continue her slow, pathetic crawl to what she believed was her salvation.
"Big Brother, please stop," Iris said.
Lu Zihao snarled at the crawling woman, "Don\'t touch."
Jenny nodded and stopped when she was a few steps away from them. Only then did the scary man step aside. She lifted her head and saw Jin Liwei hugging Iris Long in a protective manner.
Unlike the two men\'s disgust, she could only see calmness and maybe even pity in Iris\' expression.
Jenny\'s surgically-enhanced body parts looked grotesque with her current emaciated appearance. Her hair was dry, frizzy, with her original black roots growing out of her coloured hair.

She knelt down in front of Iris and sobbed.
"Please, I beg you. Wuwuwu! Iris Long, I have wronged you because of Rose! I now know everything, that she used me and her maternal cousins to harm you and Jin Liwei! Rose Young has been my best friend for the longest time but she…she…wuwuwu—she just abandoned me to save herself from the consequences of her crime! I was so loyal to her! Even if I didn\'t agree with her plans, I still supported her! But she just used me! Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!! I have always known her true colours but this is the first time I personally feel victimized because of her!!! Waaaaaaah!!!!!"
Iris didn\'t say anything and continued watching her.
Jin Liwei monitored his wife\'s condition, intending to carry her out the first sign that she showed any discomfort at the current situation.
Lu Zihao continued to glare at the wailing Jenny Tseng, ready to keep her away from her sister if the woman dared to grab Iris again.
"I\'m so sorry, Iris Looooooooong! Waaaaaaaaaah!!! I regret everything I did with Rosie to harm you! I really do!!!!! Please save me!!!!! I can\'t take it anymore!!!!! I don\'t want to die here!!!!! Wuwuwu!!!! I\'ll do everything and anything you want me to!!!! Just, please, have mercy on me. Please, Iris Long!!!! Please!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!"
Iris stepped forward but Jin Liwei held her back while Lu Zihao blocked her with his arm.
"You two, stop this," she told them.
"No." Jin Liwei was firm.
So was Lu Zihao.
She shook their arms away. They were reluctant but finally allowed her to approach Jenny Tseng.
Iris crouched down in front of the sobbing woman. Then she caressed Jenny\'s wet cheek.
"Do you really regret your role in Rose Young\'s crime?" she asked, her voice a soft, gentle whisper.
Jenny nodded quickly, as if afraid that doing it too slowly would cause her head to fly away from her neck.
"You say that you\'ll do everything and anything."
"Y-yes!!!!!"
"Even if that means betraying your best friend?"
Jenny\'s expression showed pure heartbreak. Iris pitied the woman but she couldn\'t afford to be too soft right now. Although Jenny Tseng was pitiful especially since she only followed Rose Young\'s evil plans due to her loyalty to their friendship, it was still a fact that Jenny was an accomplice.
The unnaturally plump lips of Jenny trembled. "R-rosie…no, Rose Young betrayed me first…wuwuwu!!!"
Iris waited.
Finally, Jenny\'s wet, swollen eyes flashed with a firm resolve. "I-I will do it! If you want me to become enemies with my best friend—no, with my ex-best friend, then so be it! Wuwuwu… Anything, Iris Long! I\'ll be your d-dog if you w-want, just please take me away from this hellish place! Please!!! Waaaaah!!!!!"
Iris\' pupils shook but she quickly hardened herself. She could only imagine the kind of torture the poor woman experienced under her brother\'s subordinates. This kind of situation was against her moral values but it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she could never completely escape from the shadows of this kind of life.
"Alright," she said.
Hope filled Jenny\'s face. "R-really?!"
Iris stood up. Jenny panicked and immediately moved to follow her but the scary Lu Zihao blocked her.
"W-wait!!!" Jenny was scared that they would leave her here.
Iris looked back at her. "I am not a saint, Jenny Tseng, nor am I your saviour."
Jenny\'s mouth trembled and hopelessness filled her.
"But I have the power to give you a second chance."
Jenny looked up, feeling hopeful once again.
"I will use you to crush Rose Young and the power supporting her and the Young family."
Jenny swallowed but continued listening to Iris with rapt attention.
"Jenny Tseng, will you shed your old self and follow me?"
"Yes!" Jenny didn\'t hesitate to shout with all her might. She couldn\'t afford not to do so.
"But I demand your complete obedience. If you ever betray me like you have betrayed Rose Young today…."
Jenny saw the coldness in Iris Long\'s eyes and her heart froze before quaking. At that moment, Iris Long was even more frightening than the big hulk of a man Lu Zihao in Jenny Tseng\'s eyes. Iris didn\'t need to continue her sentence. Jenny understood the rest of the warning that was left unsaid.
She nodded with chattering teeth and prostrated herself to the ground to demonstrate her obedience.
Iris\' cold eyes shook once again upon seeing the other woman\'s pathetic state. She turned away.
"Big Brother, make the arrangements," she said before leaving the room without waiting for Lu Zihao\'s response.
Iris walked with quick steps but slowed down in the hallway. She tried to grab the concrete wall to support herself.
Jin Liwei\'s pulled her in his arms and soothed her with reassuring murmurs. "You\'re okay, love. You\'re fine.. I\'m here."
