Ste finally understood. Eli had fallen in love with Sean.


    This ending was also what she wanted to see.Ste had always hoped that Eli would live happily ever after with Sean.


    “Eli, you have to remember that you can’t control men. What you have to do is to be better, instead of spending your effort on pleasing others. When a woman begins to lose herself for their men, they would enter a realm of jealousy. They eventually lose their sense of security and begin to lowertheir self-worth. Do youunderstand?” Ste said meaningfully.


    “Oh, okay, I got it. I think thatYvonnehas already lost her self-worth, but I haven’t,” Eli chuckled with a grin.


    Ste was speechless upon hearing Eli’sment.


    “Well, think about it yourself. My ce is always open for youand you’ll always have me,” Ste said seriously.


    “Haha, it’s a good thing that you’re not a man. Otherwise, I would’ve fallen in love with you. By the way, are you going to B Country with Bemy this time?” Eli asked curiously.


    “What country B?” Ste was confused.


    “Oh, do you not know about it yet?” Eli asked in surprise.


    She thought that Ste had known about it.


    “Well, here’s the thing. Our country has five spies in B Country, and two of them were exposed. Bemy, as theSecretary of External Affairs, will haveto negotiate with them.


    Sean said that you are a negotiation expert and he wanted you to go together with him. They’re probably still in a meetingand the news hasn’t been announced yet,” Eli exined.


    Ste finally understood why Bemy had suddenly left the night before.


    “Eli, I have some matters to attend to right now. I’ll call youter,” Ste said.


    “Alright. Talk to youter then,” Eli responded.


    “Will do,” Ste said as she hung up the phone.


    She then immediately calledBemy.


    Bemy, who was in a meeting, saw that it was Ste calling and immediately motioned to Sean. He excused himself and went to a secluded area to answer the phone. “What’s wrong, Ste? Did something happen?”


    “No, I’m still on my way to the police station. Are you going to B Country?” Ste directly asked.


    “Sean rmended you to go, and we’re currently discussing it now.The votes are split at the moment. However, would it be alright for you to head over to B Countryter in the evening if we doe to a decision? Are you able to make it?” Bemy asked.


    Ste remained silent.Her chest heaved up and down due to her unstable breathing.


    Bemy waited for her responsepatiently.


    “Did this happen because of me?” Ste asked.


    “I don’t know who’s behind this. I’m not even sure of the exact reason,” Bemy said solemnly.


    “You’re lying to yourself, Jasper. As you can see, once you’ve be their target, they’ll attack youyer byyer. We’ll eventually harm innocent people. They’re crazy and they’ll do anything for their own benefit,” Ste said. She was a little anxious.


    “But I can’t let anything happen to you. You’re my priority,”Bemy said.


    “What if you die in B Country? Do you think that their purpose is to expose you? The exposure is just the beginning. As long as you go to B Country, they will try their best to kill you. Once you die in B Country, they’ll use this reason to suppress B Country and appease the contradiction,” Ste said.


    Bemy suddenly came to a realization upon hearing Ste’s reminder. “In that case, I vote against you going. Have a good rest at home. I’ll go there alone.”


    He immediately hung up the phone.


    Ste sighed and took a deep breath.


    She knew that she was too anxious. Her tone was not pleasant and it sounded as though she was ming him.


    However, Bemy did all that just so that he could protect her.


    She shouldn’t have been angry with him.


    Bemy had done everything for her, yet she scolded him.He would’ve felt wronged.


    Ste tried to call him again to apologize, butBemydidn’t pick up the phone.On the other side, Bemy had voted against the proposal, “I don’t agree to let Ste go. No matter how powerful she is, she’s just a civilian. I will solve this issue myself.”


    Upon hearing Bemy’s words, Sean was stunned for a moment. Samuel had initially opposed to it as well. However,he was stunned when he heard Bemy’s objection. At that moment, Sean and Quinn were the only ones who hadn’t expressed their opinions.


    Sean remained silent. His eyes were focused yet indiscernible as he stared at Quinn.


    “I think that everyone here knows about Ste’s ability. She is a famous psychologist and her reputation thrives internationally. Her eloquence is even more remarkable. I believe many people have witnessed it in person. Now, this is a national matter. Although she’s not a member of the government, as a citizen of our country, I think that she has the power and obligation to negotiate with B country,” Quinn said.


    After hearing Quinn’s words, Bemy was even more determined to not let Ste go.


    There was one thing that he had not thought about until Ste brought it up. If he and Ste died in B Country, it would be hard for B Country to absolve themselves of the me. Quinn would then intervene and deal with the issue in a short amount of time. Not only would Quinn be crowned as a national hero then, but he would also be able to get rid of his two major threats at the same time.


    He only thought about contributing to the country with Ste. He was negligent and he had forgotten about the plot within the n.


    Everyone’s eyes were on Sean as they waited for his decision.


    “I’ll call Ste and see what she thinks,” Sean said. He then called Ste and put it on speaker.


    “Hello, Ste, it’s Sean. We currently have an issue here.B Country has caught two of our men and used them of being spies. We need someone to assist theSecretary of External Affairsto negotiate with the other party. Would you be willing to do so?” Sean asked politely.


    “You should find awyer to negotiate with them. If you were to send me instead, it will show that there are no talents in our country. Additionally, I don’t think that I have the rights or necessity to participate in this negotiation,” Ste refused immediately.


    “Everyone, including civilians, should take upon the responsibility readily when ites to a national matter. Do you not care if the country is in trouble?” Quinn interjected.


    “It’s because of this responsibility that I feel that I mustn’t go. I specialize in medicine and I know a little about psychology. However, you should find professional and powerfulwyersin terms of diplomatic negotiations. Well, I’m going to the police station now. Just to let you know, I’m only cooperating with you. Please forgive me. I’m a pregnant woman. I’m not in a good mood and I tend to vent my anger on others,” Ste directly hung up the phone as soon as she had finished speaking.


    Sean was surprised when Ste refused him.He turned to Quinn and said, “Since you said that everyone bears the responsibility of ensuring the country well being, I’ll let Bemy go to B Country. Mr. Zellweger, I shall leave F Country to you then.”


    Quinn was shocked and he asked,“Why me?”


    “You’re the best candidate in the Department of Legal Affairs. No one is as professional as you are when ites to negotiation and thew. I believe that there is no one more suitable you, Mr. Zellweger,” Sean said with a smile.


    Quinn was stunned. He wondered if Ste and Sean had just performed a two-man show.


    At that moment, he had no way to back down from the offer. Instead,he could only agree and promised, “I’ll do my best.”N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    “Alright, let’s call it a day then. Bemy, please send out a letter from the Department of External Affairs as soon as possible. This matter cannot be dyed any longer,” Sean demanded.


    Bemy immediately stood up. However, Samuel had stopped him before he could leave…
