“G XXX, go to No. 12. I’m there.”
Ste kept lingering on that sentence the entire bus ride.
Did Jasper Milton know that she was going to Riverside City?
Benjamin Levis’ assistant nudged Ste. “Miss. Grace, Miss. Grace.”
Ste perked up and looked at him. “Yes?”
“My boss is talking to you,” Benjamin’s assistant reminded her.
Ste looked at Benjamin again.
He was in a bad mood. He was long-faced and his eyes were cold. He said in a strange tone, “You’re more arrogant than I’ve heard.”
“I’m just thinking about something,” Ste exined.
It was none of her business whether he chose to believe her or not.
Benjamin turned away, ending their conversation.
‘Who’s the arrogant one now?’ Ste thought to herself.
Benjamin’s assistant gave her an embarrassed smile. “My boss said that both Zion Chyl and Jae Chyl have never been to Riverside City. They don’t seem to have interacted much. The only thing they seem to have inmon is an adult website. What do you think about that?”
“I have no idea yet. I just took over the case,” Ste said as she looked down.
She didn’t want toment on this because it involved the special forces from the military base.She didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“You don’t deserve your reputation,” Benjamin scorned.
Ste red at Benjamin.
He didn’t even look at her.
Ste smiled and said, “In psychology, the more a person criticizes others, the more they are trying to hide their inferiority or guilt. Which one is it, Mr Levis?”
Benjamin stared daggers at Ste.“What do you think? DoI feel inferior or guilty?”
“Since I got onto the bus, you kept judging me and tried to pick a fight with me. I think you are also worried that I am better than you. That’s why you’re doing all these petty things. Aren’t these signs of an inferiorityplex?” Ste said.
“What nonsense!” Benjamin huffed.
“Youare indeed talented, your ability to analyze is unquestionable. Although you rarely show up,you enjoy worldwide acim. However, you value your reputation too much,” Ste said with a smile.
“Looks like you’ve done a lot of research on me. I won’t argue with you.” He closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Ste had never researched him.But she didn’t want to continue arguing with him either.
She took the case only to repay Greg Miles for his help.
The ride to the train station took more than half an hour..
They got their train tickets, all for train GXXX.
They were given priority boarding.
Ste nced at the number on the train ticket. It read carriageNo. 6.
She didn’t want anyone else to know about her rtionship with Jasper Milton, so she followed everyone to carriage No. 6.
It was a first ss seat.
She received a text on her phone just as she took her designated seat.
It was Jasper.
“Do you want me to send someone to invite you?”
Ste replied. “I just got on the train, I wille over in a while.”
She put her phone away and turned to the train staff, “How long will it take to get to Riverside?”
“Six hours and twenty minutes. We’ll arrive at 9:30 p. m.,” the staff said with a smile.
Ste nodded, picked up her bag, and walked to the back carriage.
“Where are you going?” Benjamin asked.
“I have something to deal with. I’ll be back at 9 o’clock,” Ste said.
Benjamin scoffed.
She arrived at carriage No. 12.
It was being guarded by four soldiers.
They recognized herand knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
The soldier pushed the door open and Ste walked in.
Jasper was intently browsing on hisptop. He frowned slightly, looking as cool as ever.
“Are you going to Riverside as well?” Ste asked.
Jasper picked up the document next to him and tossed it to her,his eyes still fixed on theptop screen.
Ste sat on the couch and started reading the document.
It was Zion Chyl’s file.There was also information on Zackery Chyl,including all previous interactions between them.
Ste read the entire document. On thest page, it mentioned that both of them logged into the same adult website.
“Jae Chyl also visited the same adult website.” Ste had found something inmon between the three people. She turned her head and looked at Jasper.
He looked at her.“Were you nning to inform me about your work trip to Riverside?”
Ste didn’t expect him to question her about unnecessary things like this at such critical time. “Before I could, you sent me a message.”
“Oh did I?” Jasper raised his eyebrows sarcastically. “There was more than an hour between you receiving this assignment and me sending the message. Don’t tell me you didn’t have a minute to inform me.”
Ste knew that she couldn’t hide it from Jasper, so she lowered her head and said, “I thought you were busy at work?”
“So busy that I had no time to respond to your text about seeing a doctor”?” Jasper was having none of it.
Ste found that Jasper had very weird logic. “This is my job. Do I have to report every single thing to you? Well, you have never told me about your work either.”
Jasper stood up and Ste instinctively followed.
As he approached her, Ste tensed.
He held her waist and pulled her close to him. “Whether you’re trying to escape or not, only you know. But I need to make this clear to you, as long as I don’t give up, you will never get rid of me. Let this trip be a reminder of that. ”
“Are you going to Riverside just for me?” Ste was surprised and her heart was pounding.
“You seemed to have thought too much. Zion Chyl and Zackery Chyl are part of the military special forces. It’s very serious. I need to find out the truth,” Jasper said, his poker face on.
“Do you have to handle this personally as the Chief?” Ste whispered.
“It’s good that you know.” Jasper’s words calmed Ste a bit.
Did hee along because he knew she was going or was he nning for..
“I’m here to work.” Jasper did not give her time to think much. He held her in his arms and sat her down while continuing to work on hisptop.
Ste stole a nce at theputer.
Jasper typed in a web address, and an adult website appeared.
There were videos with overt titles…
