    “Don’t look at me like that. When I was leaving with Jayleen, I saw someone capturing Yerick’s men.


    That’s why I waited for you here,” Nadia exined, quickly discerning that Cynthia was doubting her


    story.


    “What if I hadn’t returned?” Cynthia asked.


    In that final moment, without Joshua’s preparedness, she was not sure she could have made it back.


    “That’s not possible. You’re my mentor, after all,” Nadia confidently stated.


    Cynthia remained silent


    She got up and fetched two sses of water, one for Nadia and one for herself.


    “Um..” Nadia hesitated.


    Cynthia arched an eyebrow. “If there’s something you want to say, say it. ”


    “What are you nning to do with the child you’re carrying?” Nadia scratched her head. Ever since she


    discovered that the stunning Cynthia was her mentor, she had felt an unconscious need to care for her.


    “You and Joshua are divorced. If you have the baby, he won’t try to take it, will he?”


    Cynthia was taken aback. “What child?”


    “This one.” Nadia gestured naturally toward Cynthia’s stomach

    Cynthia said nothing.


    Having no need to lie anymore, she let her guard down.


    Seeing Cynthia’s silence, Nadia assumed she was considering the matter, “Do you want to keep it?”


    “I’m not pregnant. There’s no question of wanting or not,” Cynthia admitted frankly. Since Yerick had


    been apprehended, there was no need to be cautious about such matters.


    “That’s impossible! Jayleen told me herself. I even checked,” Nadia immediately contradicted.


    That was the only way to let Yerick believe that she had a child.


    “What you discovered was only what I wanted you to know. As for Jayleen, she’s been working with me


    ever since Verick sent her to kill Joshua”


    Nadia was left dumbfounded.


    She began to question everything she thought she knew. “Yerick said that Jayleen was the least likely


    to betray him.”


    That was why Yerick was so infuriated when he found out Jayleen’s phone system had been locked.


    He could not ept Jayleen’s betrayal.


    “He was mistaken, Jayleen is the one most likely to betray him. She didn’t because she didn’t have the


    resources, and she was also threatened,” Cynthia began, her voice steady.


    “What happened between them?“ Nadia was somewhat curious,


    She did not know much about Yerick’s personal affairs and dared not pry. At most, she woulde


    across some information when Yerick asked for her help in searching for information.


    “I don’t know,” Cynthia responded curtly.


    “That doesn’t sound right. Given Yerick’s nature, if he knew Jayleen had betrayed him, there’s no way


    he would have let her go. When you magnanimously let Jayleen go, shouldn’t he have suspected


    something?” Nalia realized a key point she’d overlooked.


    “He couldn’t have guessed,” was all Cynthia sald.


    “Why not?” Nadia asked.


    Cynthia did not respond


    In Yerick’s view, Cynthia was K, still working under the Captain. As members of the organization, their


    main duty was to follow orders, and they had a responsibility to protect people, so he had no suspicions


    “Thanks for helping Jayleen. Given that you didn’tmit any substantial mistakes and saved people


    at thest moment, I won’t have you arrested. However, if you create trouble again, I won’t show


    mercy,” Cynthia said, her mind upied with issues between Joshua and Sean.


    “Mentor, how can you be so heartless? I’m still your mentee, after all.”


    Nadia kept grumbling


    Cynthia went to her study, nning to research something on herputer. Before starting, she told


    Nadia, “Don’t let your desires get the better of you.”
