"Why did I let that thief go? Or why am I doing these things?" Perfikot merely glanced at Claudia and understood what she wanted to ask.
Facing Perfikot's rhetorical question, Claudia thought for a moment before replying: "What is your purpose for doing these things? Considering your current position, you are bringing trouble upon yourself. Miss Kallen will continue to oppose you."
"You might as well say I'm overthrowing myself." Perfikot pointedly articulated Claudia's true meaning.
