Ste Grace didn’t want to drag him down.


    She could not see them around, so she searched the house alone.


    There was nothing else that was odd in the house.


    She went back to the bedroom.


    She looked around.


    She bent down and looked under the bed.


    It was dark under the bed, so she couldn’t see anything clearly.


    She then looked under the bed with a shlight.


    She found that there was a floorboard under the bed.


    Thump, thump, thump. She knocked on it.


    A sh of excitement shed through Ste’s heart.


    Unexpectedly, there was a tunnel. Perhaps this was some new discovery.


    She lifted the floorboard and found that there was a flight of stairs going down.


    She didn’t dare go down because she was worried that there would be something down there that would hurt her.


    She wanted to stay here and wait for Jasper Milton and Jimmy Fellow toe back, then they could explore this new discovery together.


    She waited for more than ten minutes, and suddenly a figure jumped into the room.


    Ste saw that it was a woman.


    The woman frowned, nced at Ste, nced at the hole in the ground, and ordered her, “Go in.”


    Ste did not budge.


    The woman took out a pistol. “I don’t want to hurt you, but if the pistol misfires, you can’t me me.”


    Ste nced at the pistol.


    She could only do as the woman said.


    The woman snatched Ste’s mobile phone from her and put it into her pocket.


    She then tied Ste to the wooden pir in the underground cer and sealed her mouth with a with some tape.


    She then began to pack up her things.


    Ste saw that she had stuffed hundreds of thousands in cash, a few guns, and some simple clothes in her backpack.


    She then picked up her backpack and looked at Ste.


    “Judging from your clothes, and character, you are not a soldier.” The woman spoke.


    Ste looked at her but she could not say anything.


    The woman raised the corners of her mouth. “I came here four years ago and met Timmy Nine. Timmy was the son of the vige chief. He is the only one who survived in Tavers Vige. Coincidentally, on the day of the ident, a little girl from another vige came to visit her grandfather here. Therefore, the people who murdered them at that time didn’t know that there were witnesses who lived to tell the truth.”


    Murder?


    Ste was shocked and frowned.


    But because her mouth was covered with tape, she couldn’t speak.


    “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything I know. The people in this vige are very simple. One day, they dug the earth and discovered a hidden chest, and there were a thousand gold bars in it.”


    A thousand?


    She heard Jasper say that there were a hundred of them!


    “There are photos of State Mayor Cher’s house, showing 100 gold bars, on the Inte. In fact, he didn’t take all of them. He should have given some away, but he didn’t keep more than 200 of them.” The woman went on.


    Ste stared at the woman in disbelief.


    The woman smiled faintly and seemed to understand. “You must want to ask, where did the other gold bars go?”


    Ste nodded.


    “I don’t know, either. Timmy’s father went to look for State Mayor Cher, who was still the mayor here at that time. State Mayor Cher must have brought some people here.


    I can tell you clearly that this big massacre couldn’t have been done by State Mayor Cher alone.


    In other words, the people who were involved in the massacre were not State Mayor Cher’s alone. ording to the ratio of gold, there were at least five parties involved.


    What’s more, there must be some officials who were even more powerful than State Mayor Cher at that time.


    By the way, there was a treasure map that was discovered with the gold. It’s said that the gold bars were just a drop in the bucket. There is much more treasure to be discovered.”


    Ste was even more shocked.


    But thinking about it, it was possible.


    Travers Vige was surrounded by mountains,munication to the outside world was close to zero.


    When State Mayor Cher saw the gold, he wanted to steal it for himself. After all, there were more than 100 million dors in just that treasure chest. How much the actual treasure was, no one knew!


    “At first, Timmy knew nothing about the massacre of the vige. Once the matter was exposed, he then knew that State Mayor Cher was one of the murderers.” The woman sighed with hurt in her eyes.


    Ste noticed her pained expression.


    As a person who could pity others, Ste didn’t think that she would be too evil.


    “Well, Jasper is chasing me now. I can’t waste any more time. When Jasper finds you, remember to tell him that I have been wronged. I will find evidence to prove my innocence and get him to let me go.” The woman was done speaking, and she went out of the cer.


    She closed the wooden board, and everything around her fell into pitch-ck darkness.


    “Oh oh oh.” Ste tried to make a sound.


    She believed that Jasper would definitely be able to find her.


    As soon as the woman climbed out of the cer, she bumped into Jasper who had juste in from the door.


    “Hale, go back with me,” Jasper said harshly to the woman.


    Hale Summer smiled and said sarcastically, “If I go back with you, I’m sure I’ll die. With your current status as Chief Milton, if you charge me with treason, I’ll be dead.”


    “Everyone should be responsible for their mistakes. I am no exception, and you are no exception.” Jasper said coldly, his tone was mean and ruthless.


    “You won’t believe me no matter what I say, will you?” Hale gritted her teeth, and some of her anger was emanating from her eyes.


    “I only believe what I see with my eyes and hear with my ears,” Jasper said determinedly.


    “Really?” Hale sneered, and a hint of malice shed in her long and narrow eyes. “Jasper, let me ask you, did you only fancy Bettany and not me?”


    “Yes, and I never gave you false hope,” Jasper said firmly.


    “You told me before that you would not love anyone apart from Bettany, is that still true?” Hale asked sharply, then she threw Ste’s phone at him.


    Jasper looked at the mobile phone and his heart tightened. “What did you do to Ste?”


    “That girl is quite beautiful, pure, and innocent. She is really simr to Bettany. Do you fancy her?” Hale asked, raising the corners of her mouth with mockery.


    Ste stared into the darkness, she couldn’t see anything.


    She was also waiting for Jasper’s answer.


    She could tell from their conversation that Jasper loved the girl named Bettany very much.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jasper was about five years older than she was. He was in histe twenties. It was normal for him to have fallen in love with girls before Ste.


    Just like Ste, she had really loved Frederick Addington previously too.


    However, she decided to stop loving Frederick. But that was not the case for Jasper. He didn’t stop loving the girl, it was all because she had died.


    Ste didn’t care about that.


    After all, it was already over.


    Her past was even more wed and unbearable.


    She was not a perfect person, so she could not ask for others to be perfect.


    No matter what Jasper’s past was and how he treated other women, Ste didn’t care.


    She just wanted him to be nice to her, and that she was his only one now.


    “Hale, you have already caused Bettany’s death. Why do you still want to hurt other innocent people?” Jasper snapped. He red at Hale sharply, as if he was going to cut her into pieces.


    Ste’s heart skipped a beat.


    Did he not want to admit his feelings for Ste to this woman?


    Or, he was worried that the woman would hurt Ste, so he didn’t say anything on purpose?


    She shouldn’t be thinking too much.
