Ste was shocked. Countless thoughts and scenes shed through her mind, as though a flood was about to pour out of her mind.
It was a feeling of repulsion and conflict,but faintly, it felt as though a hidden truth was about to be revealed.
“How could Jasper have a twin? His rtives are all dead,and they died in the hands of Christian,” Ste asked suspiciously.
“Mr. Shine, or Jasper’s father, was a popr candidate for the Presidency at that time. He conceived a pair of twins with the woman he loved. He was afraid that someone would kill his children, that was why he let me take Bemy away after he was born. Apart from me and Mr. Shine, no one else knew that he had two sons,” Samuel exined.
Ste listened quietly. His ount made sense.
Jasper had always been cold and indifferent, who was not good at speaking and was mostly silent. However, he would show his care and lovethrough his actions. He was a man filled with warmth. He would rather harm himself than harm innocent people. He was a man of true iron-will.
Bemy was lively. He had a clever tongue and he was good atmunicating with others. He had an iprehensible smile. Sometimes, he had a harsh side. There were too many mysteries to him, too many lies, too many disguises, and his ambitions were much bigger.
She often felt that Bemy was not Jasper.All along she had doubted him, suspected him, distrusted him, and rejected him.
It turned out that her intuition was right all along.
But, if he was not Jasper, then where did the real Jasper go?
Ste’s hands were trembling and she could not suppress her emotions. Her eyes were red, her breathing was shaky. “Where is he? Where is Jasper?”
She realized that her voice was choking,and tears wereing out of her left eye.
She dared not hear the answer. Her eyes shed and she wanted to hang up the phone.
“He died during that assassination attempt. The bullet went through his head, he couldn’t have survived that,” Samuel spoke first.
Ste was stunned. As she stared into space, her eyes got hollower, and they were filled with tears.
The image of a bullet piercing through the back of Jasper’s head shed through her mind.
The sound of the gunshot hit her heart.
She watched him die in front of her, just like that.
No matter how she cried or shouted, he would never open his eyes to see her again.
She liked calling his name the most, for he would alwayse to her whenever he heard her calling for him. He was cold, but he would say that he was there for her.
Now, he would never appear in front of her again.
It was no wonder that she always had dreams of Jasper standing in the middle of the sea alone, looking at her yet not saying a word.
Was he waiting for her?
Her heart was in so much pain, it felt as though her heart was being cut into pieces. It hurt so much when she tried to breathe.
“Was Quinn the one behind the assassination?” Ste guessed.
This was Jasper’s secret. Jasper was assassinated by Quinn.
“That’s right, Bemy has been investigating this matter all this while. He has been trying to take revenge for his brother. He only lied to you because he was afraid that you wouldmit suicide,” Samuel said cruelly.
Ste closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Sadness erupted in her, like a broken dam,flowing out of her heart and into her blood. She could not bear the sadness and her tears couldn’t stop flowing.
Her cell phone fell to the ground.She sobbed miserably, engulfed inhurt, loneliness, and disappointment.
Elvis stopped the car. It seemed that he had heard bits of the conversation.
When he heard Ste’s sad cries, his eyes turned red too.
Just like that, Ste sat in the carand cried.She cried for an hour, then two, then three hours…
It seemed as though she wanted to dry out all her tears. Sadness was leaking out of her like a broken tap, it just could not stop.
“Mrs. Milton, please don’t cry. The Chief would be sad if hesees you like this,” Elvis advised.
Ste was still crying. When she cried, her voice was hoarse, the pain in her throat was so great that she could not make a sound. She just kept crying.
Elvis panicked. He was afraid that something bad would happen to Ste if she were to continue crying like this. He said, “The Chief is still alive. Please don’t be so sad.”
Ste suddenly stopped crying. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked at Elvis with hope.
She wanted to say something, but her throat hurt too much for her to make a sound. She tried her best to blurt out three words, “Where… is… he?”
“Chief Levis knows,” Elvis said.
The hope inside her that was just ignited faded away in an instant.
Anthony did not know. He still thought that Bemy was Jasper.
Therefore, none of them would’ve known even if Jasper had really died.
He was a peerless hero. He was so vigorous when he was alive, but he died without anyone knowing. Even his closest and most trustedpanion did not know where his body was even when he was already dead.
Wait, where was his body?
“Where is his body?” Ste asked with difficulty.
Elvis passed a bottle of water to Ste, and she epted it.
She needed to speak. There were still things she needed to do. She drank half a bottle of the water.
“I will ask Chief Levis now. Please give me a moment,” Elvis got out of the car and called Anthony.
“Chief, there’s something I wish to inquire. Bemy might not be Chief Milton. He seems to be Chief Milton’s twin brother. Where is our Chief Milton right now? Do you know?” Elvis asked.
Anthony was silent for a while, as though he was digesting Elvis’s information. “Is this message urate?”
“I am not sure. I heard it from a conversation that Mrs. Milton had on the phone.”
“The surveince footage captured the Chief leaving. If that person really is the Chief’s twin brother, then, the Chief’s twin brother must have taken him away,” Anthony said in a low voice.
“Are you talking about Bemy?”
“That’s right.”
“I understand. I will report this to Mrs. Milton first. I will contact youter,” Elvis said and hung up the phone.
When he turned around, Ste was no longer in the car.
His heart tightened, a look of panic shed across his eyes. He looked around and found Stestanding by theke.
“Mrs. Milton!” Elvis shouted as he ran towards Ste.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Ste did not respond. She looked at the glistening frozen surface under the sunlight.
At this moment, his heart was colder than the ice in theke, and she could not feel the coldness of the air, as though all her senses were already numbed.
Elvis ran to Ste and persuaded her, “Mrs. Milton, you must take care of yourself.The Young Master is still in your belly. I am sure that the Chief wants to see you happy.”
“Bemy was the one who took Jasper away, wasn’t it?” Ste’s voice was hoarse. She had thought about it when her mind was clear just now. Only by taking Jasper away could he pretend to be Jasper.
“From what I understand, the Chief was still alive when Bemy took him away. Since he is the Chief’s brother, he might still be alive,” Elvis said with hope.
Ste was not as anxious as before. Perhaps she had no strength left in her, or maybe she had figured it all out. She was calm and cold.
“Mrs. Milton, what should we do now?” Elvis asked hercarefully.
