Chapter 1385: Chapter 1385: A Desperate Struggle

Xaviera’s blood seemed to freeze in her veins!

At this moment, she finally understood that it was all a conspiracy since Jacob Powell acknowledged their relationship. Back then, she thought she had found family, but now, after hearing Jacob’s words, everything became clear.

Her role in Jacob’s eyes was to provide a blood transfusion for Quinn Powell, and once Quinn was healthy again, she would no longer have any reason to exist. But this matter couldn’t be revealed, or both Jacob and Quinn would have to pay the price. So, Jacob wanted to kill her.

However, since she was his sister by blood, Jacob still had a bit of conscience left, so he chose another method - making her lose her memory. That way, she would keep the secret, leave Yittaland forever, and Quinn could continue her life as the Powell family’s daughter.

Xaviera grinned bitterly – what a fucking fake family relationship! It was a conspiracy from the very beginning!

Back then, she was a naive young girl who naturally couldn’t escape Jacob’s carefully planned deception.

Once again, the dream returned to the cliff. Jacob reached out his hand, speaking gently like coaxing a child: "Xaviera, be good, come back with me. Sleep, and when you wake up, you’ll have forgotten everything."

In the dream, Xaviera’s eyes gradually lost focus, her petite body swayed unsteadily, her feet barely touched the ground. Still, she retained a shred of reason, refusing to approach Jacob.

Jacob’s voice trembled slightly, "Xaviera, I’m sorry. I truly can’t live without Quinn. Treat all of this as a dream, and forget everything."

Xaviera’s body went limp, collapsing to the ground. At the same time, she suddenly heard a gunshot ring in her ears, splitting the sky as if exploding beside her.

Bang!

The intense noise instantly jolted Xaviera awake. She could see no wounds on her body, but where had the gunshot come from?

She struggled to stand, her expression exhausted but her eyes increasingly determined. As she continually backed away, with the cliff right behind her, Xaviera didn’t hesitate to shoot at Jacob before leaping into the ocean. The icy water instantly swallowed her.

Xaviera’s reason for jumping was because she knew that once she fell into Jacob’s hands, she would be better off dead. Rather than giving up, she gambled everything, and even if she died, she had no regrets. At least in her final moments, she was free.

The gunshot hit Jacob’s shoulder. He frowned, his eyes full of sorrow, and tears streamed down his face. Finally, he said: "It’s good if you’re dead, then you’ll be free."

"Xaviera, I’m sorry for what I did to you in this life. I’ll make it up to you in the next one."

In the dream, after jumping into the ocean, with her last bit of consciousness, she desperately swam towards the shore.

Bang!

Another gunshot sounded, accompanied by something splashing into the water. Xaviera didn’t feel pain, but the sound of the bullet piercing flesh was crystal clear. Her vision blurred, only the scent of blood remained, and soon the red stained the blue ocean water.

By now, she had gradually lost consciousness, barely able to keep her eyes open, but she could still hear voices not far away.

’Who is this?’

’Stay out of it, or you’ll bring trouble upon yourself.’

’Isn’t that guy up there Jacob Powell? Did she offend him? If that’s the case, let’s just kill them both, so there won’t be any loose ends...’

Later, she lost consciousness in the ocean. She vaguely remembered waking up after what felt like a very long dream. Albert had said that when he found her, she was lying on the beach, barely alive. They quickly took her away.

When she woke up, Albert realized that someone must have saved her, but Xaviera couldn’t remember who that person was.

Fortunately, she had gambled and won, escaping Jacob’s clutches. If she had stayed with Jacob, what would her future life be like? Perhaps she would have been a blood bank for Quinn forever!

Xaviera suddenly woke up from the dream. Her temples throbbed, and the fragmented memories in her mind were still a bit chaotic. She realized that another person had jumped into the sea with her at the end, but she couldn’t see who it was or whether that person was dead or alive.

However, after this dream, Xaviera was certain of one thing – her memory loss had been caused by Jacob Powell, and the secret must have been uncovered using... hypnotism.

After she had been saved and resuscitated, she was hypnotized again, losing the painful memories. Now that she saw Jacob again, her hatred surged, and the hypnotism completely failed, restoring her memory.
