Larry cast a sidelong nce at Ste.
She had always seemed weak to him. However, at that moment, he finally understood why Bemy liked her, and why Samuel wanted her dead.
Her intelligence was far beyond his imagination.
“I just dislike being suspected by others. There are too many people who hate me and suspect me. You are not the only one,” Larry said before leaving immediately.
Bemy frowned slightly, but he did not go after Larry. “Ste, it’s insensible to offend Larry in his own country.”
“He is our closest bet to obtain the truth. I had to ask him. Besides, I have gained a lot,” Ste said confidently.
Bemy asked, “What did you learn?”
“His story does not make sense. Apart from the blood of your people, there were no traces of blood anywhere else. A gunfight without blood is simply not possible,” Ste said. When she paused, her eyes were filled with determination.
“He avoided my question,”Ste continued.“When he lied,his pupils narrowed. Althoughhe seemed calm, he was actually trying to see through me. He was considering whether his words were persuasive enough.”
“So,are you saying that Larry is trying to frame Sean?” Bemy asked as he slowly lowered his eyes.
“Our departure falls in Sean’s favor. Besides,he does not know our secret address. The only person who knows our location is Samuel. Also, would Larry put in so much effort to save someone whom he didn’t know?” Ste asked.
Bemy remained silent.A myriad ofplex scenarios shed through his mind.
Ste held his hands.
She knew how much it hurt to be betrayed. It hurt more than being cut by the enemy.
However,things had already turned out this way. They had to ept the reality even though it was upsetting.
“Let’s go. Let’s leave A Country to somewhere no one could find us,” Ste said gently.
Bemy’s eyes turned red. He held Ste’s hand and asked, “Which country do you think is safe from them? Quinn is finished. Christian is dead. Who else? Who else would oppose me?”
Ste looked at Bemy in confusion.His eyes were brewing with murderous hatred, like a dark cloud waiting to swallow the universe.
She had never seen Jasper like that. Even in the face of death, he was righteous. He was like the Sun,always emitting warmth. “What do you want to do?”
“I don’t care if it is Sean or Samuel, I have to find out the truth. I can’t let my men die in vain. I can’t let you be in danger,” Bemysaidadamantly.
Emotions flowed through Ste’s hearts. However, she was not as conflicted as she was before.
Quinn and Christian were done for. In Ste’s mind, Samuel was not that strong. He fell short of Quinn’s and Christian’s astuteness.
If Jasper wanted to fight, she would be by his side.It should not be a difficult problem to solve.
“We could be together openly.There is nothing to fear,” Ste said firmly.
Bemy smiled. He held her hand tightly and kissed her on the face.
After Ste packed up everything, they returned through a private jet.
Ste did not sleep well on the ne. She woke up in the middle of the night and looked outside.
She could see a sky full of stars through the windowand it was gorgeous.
The sky gradually turned white.
The sun hade out from behind the clouds. Rays of sunlight shone through the window,ndingon her face. She felt a sense of warmth, as though her world was shining brightly.
Soon, they were approaching A Country, and their ne began to descend.
Bemy turned to look at Ste when he woke up.
Ste smiledgentlyat him, “There is still half an hour more before wend. My men are already at the airport. Are you going toe home with me, or are you going to find Samuel?”
“I’m going to find Samuel,” Bemy sat up and said.
Ste was not at ease. “I am almost certain that he is the one that wants to kill us. If you show any killing intent towards him, I am afraid it will be very difficult for you to escape his territory. Why don’t you just return as Jasper?”
“Samuel is different from Christian and Quinn. The biggest difference is that those two are evndthey have done many evil things, butSamuel,on the other hand, has never done a bad thing before.”
“What about his n to assassinate us this time?” Ste asked in reply.
“Larry works for him. It would be easy for him to kill the two of us, but he didn’t. He used this ploy to me Seanso that I could be the next President,” Bemy exined.
“So,are you telling mehe is still a good man? What about your dead men? Are their deaths really that insignificant?Is Samuel not responsible for their deaths?” Ste looked at Bemy in disbelief.
Bemy realized that he said misspoken. “I still can’t believe that he did it. I must return toinvestigate.”
Ste fixed her gaze on him.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
She knew that Bemy had his own opinions. No matter how much she tried to convince him, he still would not believe her judgment.
Since that was the case,there was no need for her to say anything else. She chewed on a piece of gum and passed one to him.
Ste got in the car when they arrived at the airport.
Elvis looked at Bemy, who was outside the car, and asked Ste, “Is the Chief noting back? Christian is already dead, and Quinn’s deeds have been exposed. All that’s left is to wait for thew to punish him.”
Ste looked out of the windowslowly. She waved at the smiling Bemy.
“Let’s go,” Ste told Elvis. She closed her eyes and leaned against the car seat.
“I think that it’s really amazing that the both of you went on a mission together. Not only did you two solve the crisis of B Country, but you also found evidence of Quinn selling out the country,” Elvis praised.
“Elvis, how many years have you been with Jasper?” Ste asked without opening her eyes.
“Five years.”
“What do you think of Samuel?” Ste continued.
Elvis thought for a moment and said, “Actually,the soldiers in our country are assigned into different divisions. Samuel is responsible for foreign intelligence. He reports ordingly if he makes a discovery,and then the Chief will take action if necessary. The Chief often talks to him. We did not interact much with Samuel, so I don’t know much about him.However, he has a good reputation.”
“Okay,” Ste responded, and that was all she said.
Elvis noticed that Ste wanted to rest, so he kept quiet throughout the whole journey.
She took a nap and was soon awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone. She looked at the caller ID. It was from Samuel.
She was confused.
Samuel, why… why was he calling her?
When Ste picked up the phone, her mind was in a mess.
“You must be Ste, right?” Samuel asked directly.
“Yes.”
“There is something that I think you should know. Bemy is not Jasper, he is Jasper’s twin brother, and he is my granddaughter’s husband,” Samuel immediately said.
Ste was silent.
