“What did she say?” Mina Hadley asked worriedly.


    “She said there are different top secret offices. Except the person in charge, no one knows where yours is, not even Jasper’s father. She will give each of you 1 million yuan aspensation,” Ste Grace said.


    “Does this mean that we can’t go back to the team for the rest of our lives?” Mina frowned.


    “Jasper may regain his memory one day. Otherwise, you may apply for the military again. You’ll have to start from the ground up, but I’m sure you’ll do well considering your talents,” Ste tried persuading her.


    Mina stared at the ground. She was capable and strong but this was too much. “I need to discuss this with the rest of the team.”


    “All the best,” Ste said apologetically.


    They were in this situation because of her. She felt sorry for them, but there was nothing she could do.


    For a soldier, glory was the most important thing.


    All their past achievement were wiped out.


    Putting herself in their shoes, she felt devastated.


    Ste closed the door and slumped on her bed. She could not fall asleep again.


    In the morning, she got up, brushed her teeth and washed her teeth. She opened the door and ran into


    Mina and six other soldiers.


    Ste was startled. “What’s wrong?” she asked.


    “We had a meetingst night and have made a decision.


    Our previous task was to find the murderer of Tavers Vige. The task has not beenpleted yet, so we will continue with it.


    Now that the Chief has temporarily forgotten us, we will take orders from you now,” Mina said on behalf of everyone.


    Ste’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces.


    They looked at her with no expressionlessly, but at the same time, they looked majestic.


    It was horrible to lose your purpose in life.


    She could not refuse them.


    “Let’s work together,” Ste said encouragingly.


    “We have no fear of hard work, no fear of suffering, no fear of blood, no fear of sweating. We work toward the same goal, moving forward steadily.” the seven soldiers recited in unison.


    Ste felt inspired.


    She finally found a reason to move forward.


    She realized she was a dead woman walking these past few months..


    Perhaps Jasper had forgotten about her and hisrades forever, but they would not forget their duties.


    And she should be responsible for them.


    Life went on in an orderly manner.


    Jasperpletely disappeared from her life.


    There was no chance for them to meet again.


    Due to the nature of his job, she rarely heard anything about him.


    At the end of the year.


    After months of monitoring, tracking, and stalking, they finally found Lionel Lausanne’s lover.


    She was also the sister of the director of Ecocity Building Company and the older sister of the manager of thepany.


    “Inspector Grace, we have conclusive evidence that the manager of Ecocity Building Company has dealt with antiques smugglers. Also, we have undeniable evidence of the elicit rtionship between Lionel Lausanne and Cindi Yales. Do we take action now?” Mina asked cautiously.


    “Lionel sold thend to thepany at a normal price. Thepany which excavated the cultural relics and sold them for smuggling has nothing to do with him.”


    His ount doesn’t show anything incriminating, and it was hard to prove that they had done anything wrong just because he stayed over at Cindi’s ce.


    If weunched a sneak attack and fail to find the antiques, we would only alert the enemy.


    Send the photos of Lionel and Cindi to his wife and continue to monitor them,” Ste ordered.


    “Yes. Inspector Grace. Are you going home for the New Year?” Mina asked worriedly.


    Ste paused and shook her head. “Tell the guys to go home and have a good time with their families.”


    “Okay, Mina replied and went on with her work.


    Ste walked to the sky garden and looked up at the sky.


    The moon was very bright, and her skin was swept by the cold wind. It brought a sense of loneliness.


    Her face was so cold that it was almost numb.


    What was Jasper doing now?


    Working?


    Having reunion with his family?


    There was a sudden knock on the door.


    Ste went back to the room and tidied up her clothes. She looked out from the peephole. It was a waiter holding a bunch of roses in his hand.


    She opened the door in confusion.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Frederick Addington slid into view and said with a smile, “It’s been a while, Ste.”


    “I’ll rather not see you.” She tried to m the door in his face


    but Frederick stopped her said, “I bring news of Jasper Milton. Do you want to know?”


    “No. I’m going to rest, and my roommates will be back soon. Pardon me for not being able to wee you,” Ste said adamantly.


    “His memory has been restored,” Frederick said casually.


    Ste was stunned.


    “His memory has been restored to the day when Bettany Hadley got into the ident about 5 years ago.” he continued. “You know what it means, don’t you?” Frederick smirked.


    His smile was very cold, like a harsh ice de.


    Ste didn’t want to listen more and wanted to m the door. But she couldn’t.


    She turned around, and Frederick walked in.


    “This means that the most painful part for him is not being separated from you, but Bettany,” he jabbed.


    “Are you done with what you want to say?” Ste asked impatiently.


    “Look, aren’t you lucky? He was not willing to marry Katty Davis, and was still hung up over Bettany,” Frederick said sarcastically.


    “Frederick, as you said before, there is no future between me and Jasper. I can ept reality. I’m not interested in what happens to him, no matter what it is,” Ste looked away from him and sat in the sofa.


    His eyes started to soften. He sat next to her and asked, “Are you going home for the New Year celebration this year?”


    “That isn’t my home. I’m just worried about my work if I left.”


    “You don’t have to rely on Wilson Chuck to support your career. You can be my wife. I promise, you can get anything you desire. Why do you have to waste your talent in this remote ce?”


    After listening to him, she just felt ridiculous.


    “Frederick, have you fallen in love with me?” Ste asked.


    Frederick’s gaze dimmed. “I haven’t touched any other women since our divorce. I’ll make it up to you. I swear I mean it.”


    Ste said calmly, “Frederick, marry another woman, have your own baby and live a good life. I’m not suitable for you. I don’t believe in love anymore. I just want to be single forever.”


    “What if I told you that I found your child?” Frederick said, watching for he reaction.


    Ste jumped to her feet. “You found my child? Where is my child? How is he now?” she asked breathlessly.


    “That’s Jasper Milton’s child too. Would you bring the child to Jasper?” Frederick asked.
