<h4>Chapter 398 - The Last Hope?</h4>


    The envelope given by Adriana Holsy contained photos of Roger Dous and Cassandra Lim making love. Seeing the photos, Nichs got very angry. He still clearly remembered how Cassandra Lim begged her master not to be abandoned.


    "That woman is really something, sir. Please, don''t remember it anymore. After all, you are currently married to Madam, so this is not important, sir," Nichs said in a rising voice. He was very annoyed and angry at this time.


    "I wasn''t thinking about that, Nick, I was thinking about Roger. You do remember what Cassandra said when she came to me a few months ago, right?" n asked tly.


    Nichs was silent. He tried to remember what Cassandra Lim had done a few months ago, but Nichs couldn''t remember, because of the many things Cassandra had done so far.


    "Cassandra came to me with the same information that Adriana gave. Cassandra said that Adriana was already in a rtionship with Roger Dous. Even though at that time Cassandra didn''t give as many photos as Adriana did, I believe her words, because I know Roger very well. He will not possibly give up on getting his targeted woman before he manages to sleep with her," n said slowly in answer to his own question, breaking the silence, because Nichs had been silent for a long time.


    "So you mean Roger Dous actually..."


    "Yes, Roger Dous was the one who actually targeted me. That man deliberately approached the women who were once close to me to show me that he has sessfully get those women just like me. Although this is just a guess but somehow I really believe that Roger was never really a sincere friend to me. He is a man who doesn''t want to give in. He always wants to be number one. Although I''m not using him, but I believe that Roger had something to do with the ident at that time, but I don''t know how. I don''t have evidence of Roger''s direct involvement. If the car didn''t explode and fall apart like that maybe the police could find evidence that the car I was driving actually had a problem," said n quietly, expressing what was in his mind.


    "So-so you managed to remember the ident 2 years ago, sir?" asked Nichs quickly.


    n shook his head slowly while throwing the vulgar photos of Cassandra Lim and Roger Dous on the table. Roger Dous was one of his best friends who used to go with him to go to the club with Brandon Rex and the others.


    "Right now I haven''t been able to remember, Nick. There have been a lot of events that I can''t fully remember. I only remember a few things, when I said goodbye to Grandpa when I was going to the area and when I shook hands with the others. After that I don''t remember anything else. The memories that I have after that are when I was treated in the hospital," n answered tly.


    Nichs was seriously listening to the master''s words. He did not know that the n he was currently serving was not the same n. Mr. David rke didn''t tell Nichs the truth, that''s why Nichs knew nothing about the secret. Mr. David rke really kept his meetings secret. He didn''t want anyone else to know about Jack being n. Even the doctor who had helped Jack the first time when Luis was found in Portsmouth was now hidden from his family. He was not allowed to leave a government-owned military hospital. Luis deliberately put the doctor into the military hospital so he couldn''t go anywhere, so that the important information about Jack who became n wouldn''t be leaked. Therefore, the doctor was still working at the military hospital. And the doctor didn''t even know Luis'' real purpose of cing him in the military hospital.


    And although all this time Jack had gotten memories from n, but Jack couldn''t remember thest incident before n died. That was why Mr. David rke and the doctors were confused about how all the other memories managed to enter Jack''s brain, but thest memory of the fateful incident did not. They all didn''t know that Jack wouldn''t be able to remember it because he wasn''t the one who experienced the incident. Memory after memory that entered Jack''s brain right now was n''s memory when he had not had an ident.


    "Never mind. Don''t mind this. There are more important things for me to do, Nick," n said quietly, looking at the ring on his ring finger.


    Nichs, who understood what his master meant, just smiled. He then grabbed the tightly locked suitcase and prepared to leave. Since his business at the office was done, n decided to leave his room, after saving the intimate pictures of Cassandra Lim and Roger Dous.? When n passed Gloria, he smiled meaningfully, which made Gloria scared. Actually, the reason Gloria still worked at n''spany was because she was very afraid that her family would be destroyed by n, even though she was threatened not to be able to work anywhere else, Gloria was not afraid. However, when n Knight rke had mentioned her family, she had no other choice but to obey n''s orders.

    Anne looked desperate after talking to Doctor Caitlyn on the phone, even though she had high hopes for the doctor, who had promised to help her get out of n''s clutches. Anne''s hopes were dashed when she found out that Doctor Caitlyn had not been able to find what Anne asked for. The kind doctor said that all of her personal belongings and documents had been stored by Nichs at n''s orders. So now the whereabouts of all her personal belongings were unknown to anyone, including her cell phone, which she really needed right now. The reason was that the cell phone was her only hope at the moment. Anne did not memorize anyone''s number, including Linda''s, Paul''s or Erick''s who were in Switzend. That was why she was so confused right now and didn''t know who to ask for help to escape from n.


    "Do I really have to surrender to the situation this time, Lord? Why did you give me this extraordinary trial, Lord? I really don''t know what to do right now. I don''t want to spend the rest of my life with that monster, God, sob... I don''t want to. Please help me, God, I beg you, please save me," said Anne quietly, burying her face in the sofa, so that no one would know that she was currently crying.
