Cole was speechless momentarily at Athena's question.
What was her crime? Her crime was disrupting their plans at every turn! Wasn't that obvious?!
"Are you speechless now? Tell me, Cole…" Athena continued, stepping closer to the male, who glared at her hatefully. "What is my crime?"
Cole bit his lips. If he dared mention what was on his mind, he might be electrocuted to death like Heronica had been!
Athena, as if reading his thoughts, smirked devilishly. "Oh, don't worry, Cole. Your dear Heronica is still alive. Just a bit… burnt on the inside."
As if on cue, Heronica's head began to rise from its earlier droopy state.
Cole's eyes widened as he watched Heronica struggle to keep her head erect and steady.
"What…what… happened?" She muttered, her voice barely audible.
Cole swallowed and looked at Athena.
"You see, she is alive. Now answer my question."
