Under the pressure of A Country, it did not take long for B Country to finally release the people that they had arrested.Their Secretary of External Affairs, Habib Othman,had also fled abroad.


    Larry was of great help with the soldier’s burials.


    Bemy and Ste invited Larry over for a meal before returning to A Country.


    Ste busied herself in the kitchen whileLarry and Bemy chatted in the living room.


    “Don’t mention anything about my past when shees outter,” Bemy ordered.


    Larry was puzzled. “Why? You used to be a hero. She will love you more when she hears about it.”


    “It’s fine. Let’s just not talk about it. If she asks how we met, you could just say that we knew each other in a mission,” Bemy said. He did not want to say anything more.


    “Sure,” Larry raised his ss and clinked it with Bemy’s. He took a sip of wine and asked seriously, “How are you nning to deal with Sean? He’s not easy to deal with.”


    Bemy smiled, “We still have you, don’t we?”


    Larry’s face suddenly darkened. “He killed my sister. I must make him pay.”


    Ste came out of the kitchen with some grilled chicken shortly after. When she heard thatst sentence from Larry, a strange light shed in her eyes. She lowered her eyes, her long eyshes blocking the conflicting emotions in her eyes.


    After cing the grilled chicken on the table, Bemy clutched her handand said, “Thank you.”


    “No problem. There are still two dishes left. It will be done in a while,” Ste said softly.


    Bemy released Ste’s handreluctantly.


    “When are you two going to get married?” Larry asked coyly.


    “I want to give her a grand wedding once everything is settled. You know the current situation. There are people who want us dead. I couldn’t possibly let her be in danger,” Bemy said cautiously.


    Larryughed and said,“I wanted to introduce my sister to you a long time ago.She would have been the happiest woman in the world ifshe had been with you. Unfortunately, she fell in love with that heartless Sean.”


    “Sean is not heartless. I only found out recently that he has always had a woman whom he fancied. He has loved her for at least fifteen years.” Bemy spoke the truth./


    However, Sean had somehow be his enemy.


    There was a murderous look in Larry’s eyes. “Who is it?”


    “Eli Wayne.I heard that they were ssmates back in school.”


    “Eli Wayne?” Larry repeated. It seemed to strike a thought within him. He took out his phone, opened a photo, and showed it to Bemy. “Take a look, is this her?”


    It was a photo of Eli eating. Surprised,Bemy asked, “Why do you have her photo?”


    “She is the woman whom my uncle likes. My uncle even wanted to retire from office for her,” Larry said irritably as he withdrew his phone.


    “That’s really an ill-fated rtionship. Your sister likes Sean, Sean likes Eli, and if Eli likes your uncle, then things would be very interesting,” Bemy sneered.


    “It all makes sense now.My men did inform me that my uncle had gone to A Country.Itmust have beenfor Eli. I don’t know if Eli prefers Sean or my uncle more. But,if she likes my uncle, that would be a big blow to Sean,” Larry coyed.


    “Who knows? Maybe she prefers your uncle. When I had a meal with Sean,Yvonne was acting to be all lovey-dovey with him, but Eli showed no signs of jealousy at all.She even ate happily. If she really does like Sean, she should have been jealous or angry,” Bemy recalled.


    “Indeed, I should let Sean experience what it is like to be unable to get something he wants. I will talk to my uncleter to know more about the situation.”


    “Alright,cheers,” Bemy raised his ss and clinked it with Larry’s again. He finished the rest of the wine in one gulp.


    Ste came out of the kitchen with some soup and roast potato bacon.


    She sat down next to Bemy after serving the dishes on the table. She could smell the strong scent of alcohol.


    “We’re heading back today, so you shouldn’t drink too much. If you get a headache, you’ll be the one who suffers,” Ste reminded gently.


    “Alright, this will be myst ss.I won’t drink anymore,” Bemy listened to Ste’s words.


    He poured a ss for Larry, and another for himself.


    Ste raised a ss of water and told Larry, “Thank you for saving us this time. I will use tea as a toast for you.”


    “It’s fate,” Larry picked up his wine ss and took a big sip.


    “Mr. James, just out of curiosity, do you know Samuel Chuck?” Ste asked nonchntly.


    Larry paused for a moment before ncing at Bemy. “Yes, we know each other, but we’re not close. We rarely talk. Why?”


    “Earlier, we were too busy with the burial of the soldiers. I have something to ask you. You fought with the people who had been trying to kill us for the longest time. Did they retreat without any casualties?” Ste asked suspiciously. Her eyes were focused on him,scouring for the slightest change of his expression.


    “They were wearing helmets and bulletproof vests, so a lot of them should be injured,” Larry said vaguely.


    “What about your men? Did they die from the injuries?” Ste asked.


    Larry was a little displeased. “A lot of them are hurt. They aren’t dead, since we came prepared.”


    “Which path did they use to retreat? Mr. James, do you still remember that?”


    Larry frowned. “What are you insinuating, Miss Grace? Do you think that I’m colluding with others to try and frame Sean?”Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste was calm. She put down the ss and said straightforwardly, “After all, you have the motive, right?”


    “What motive do I have? Wasn’t I the one who saved you two?”


    “You hate Sean. What if you and Samuel had worked together on purpose? You two are putting on a show to deliberately use Darren to frame Sean,” Ste said ruthlessly. Seeing the panic in Larry’s eyes, she became even more certain of her own judgment.


    “I did see Darren amid the gunfight, andhe is Sean’s man. When you go back, you could arrest him and question him ordingly. What’s the use of questioning me now?” Larry said coldly.


    Ste tapped the table lightly as she observed him with her eyes fixated on him.“I suspect that you have killed Darren earlier on and got someone to impersonate him. Besides, Bemy didn’t even see Darren. You are using Sean with just your words. You must be thinking that even if we realize that Darren is dead, we would still think that Sean was the one who killed him to keep his mouth shut.”


    Larry’s face instantly turned pale.


    Everything she said was spot on.


    Samuel had sought him out the previous day and made a n with him. Darren had already been killed by Samuel’s menst night.


    Samuel’s grand n was to kill Ste and frame Sean for it.


    However, Bemy had protected Ste so well that his men had no chance of attacking her at all.


    “If you insist on being so suspicious of my intentions, then I have nothing else to say. Besides, these are all just spections that you made. I’ll simply treat you as an ungrateful person. My apologies, I still have some matters to attend to. I will take my leave first,” Larry said as he stood up.


    Ste leaned back on the chaircalmly. She had already casther judgments.“If I were you, I would exin in detail why I am not an aplice, instead of leaving just like that.”
