Earl was stunned. Scorn filled his eyes.
He took two steps closer to Evie, but Evie stepped backward. He lowered his voice and said, “Isaac is dead. Stop thinking about him…”
Evie’s eyes widened, and virtual-novel.net stared at Earl.
Her horrified expression pleased him. He laughed and said in a low voice, “Your father and my teacher’s trusted subordinate, Garett, killed virtual-novel.net with their own hands under my teacher’s orders. Think about it…”
“Could Isaac have survived if these two men had joined hands? Garett himself told me about how Isaac was severely injured and healing himself in a therapeutic bath. Garett and your father broke his neck. Oh, right… They killed virtual-novel.net in his subordinate’s clinic.”
Evie looked mortified. She didn’t know how to react. She backed up and shook virtual-novel.net head. “No, that’s impossible. That’s a lie…”
Memories of virtual-novel.net and Isaac flitted across virtual-novel.net mind. She wept silently and dashed out of the room.
“Evie, that’s your fate, and you should accept it,” Earl’s complacent yell came from behind.
In the room, Earl’s smile vanished. He called, “Hey, you! Get me Trace! I need him…”
Evie covered virtual-novel.net mouth and ran toward virtual-novel.net room, sobbing. She bumped into Thaddaeus downstairs when virtual-novel.net was about to go out.
“Evie? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Thaddaeus was astonished.
Evie glared at virtual-novel.net and howled, “You broke your promise! Liar! Bastard! I hate you!”
Evie used the last of virtual-novel.net energy to scream the last three words. Then, virtual-novel.net ran upstairs.
Thaddaeus froze where virtual-novel.net was as virtual-novel.net watched his daughter run from him. His brows knitted.
Did Evie get wind of what happened?
He sighed and left.
Evie sat on the edge of virtual-novel.net bed like a statue, tears streaming down virtual-novel.net face. She reminisced about the times virtual-novel.net was with Isaac and recalled Earl’s words, Isaac died at virtual-novel.net father’s hands.
When virtual-novel.net thought of that, virtual-novel.net felt like someone squeezed virtual-novel.net heart, rendering virtual-novel.net gasping for air.
Isaac, Isaac, it’s my fault. You’re dead because of me…
Evie clutched the sheets with a metal grip so hard that virtual-novel.net knuckles turned white.
Suddenly, Evie looked up, making up virtual-novel.net mind as virtual-novel.net mumbled, “Death won’t do us apart!”
She decided to sneak out when virtual-novel.net found the opportunity.
For the following two days, Evie resumed virtual-novel.net usual routine and acted as if nothing happened.
In the middle of the night, virtual-novel.net changed into a white bodysuit, put on a mask, and left. There was snow everywhere. The white clothes were virtual-novel.net perfect camouflage.
She had just left when a figure silently appeared a hundred yards behind her. It followed virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net headed for the west entrance.
Everest Sect had three entrances. Outside the west entrance was a cliff that was hundreds of feet tall. There were fewer guards at that entrance too.
She narrowly avoided the guards and left through the passage beneath the mountain. She descended via the cliff and had several injuries despite protecting herself with spiritual energy. The wounds hurt very badly.

It was cloudy and drizzling the next morning.
Allegra and Eugene had their breakfasts and left for work. The weather forecast foresaw heavy snow tonight, so Isaac thought of sending a down jacket to Isabella in virtual-novel.net school.
Holly was sweeping the steps outside. She looked up and saw Evie in virtual-novel.net white bodysuit. She was wet all over and was crying as virtual-novel.net came toward her.
