could smell the distinct scent on his body.
He smelled like oranges.
“You do make a fair point. Although you are just a fake, Matthew does seem to care about you a
lot.”
The man had bluntly exposed her falsified background. Hesper flinched and her heart skipped a beat, yet she maintained her calm composure, “So, what good would it do if you killed me? Why not use the opportunity to make bank instead?”
Watching Hesper struggle, 013 responded sarcastically, “Ah. How much money are willing to give? All your money belongs to the Lanes after all. Do you really have the pride to offer a ransom for your own life? Haven’t you always felt indebted to Rachael Lane?”
Hesper was taken aback.
She knew that this man had dirt on her, but how could he possibly know how she felt inside? She had never talked about this to anyone, and it was not like there were many people she could confide in anyway.
Seeing as how Hesper’s perfect disguise was starting to crack under pressure, 013 felt cocky. “I know everything, Ms. Lane. There is no need for you to act calm in front of me. Even if you’re trying to stall for time, it doesn’t matter. No one knows where we are, so nobody is coming to coming to your rescue.
“Despite your son having some sort of connection to that little traitor…” Thinking of Myriade, and recalling how she used to call him a psycho, his patience was running thin. “She may be a traitor, but she would never have the guts to betray her savior.”
unique string of codes he had learned from her in the past. And because he had been studying these codes for a very long time, he knew them like the back of his hand.
After parsing the codes, they turned out to be a GPS locator.
“Uncle Matt, stop the car.”
Renfrew who was sitting on the child seat at the back climbed his way to the front and tugged on Matthew’s sleeve who was riding shotgun. “My friend sent me a location. This is probably where Mommy is now.”
The driver kept his foot on the pedal. Although Renfrew had demonstrated exceptional abilities, it was still Matthew who called the shots.
Matthew took Renfrew’s phone and saw that they were heading in a completely opposite.
direction to what was shown on the screen. He hesitated before saying, “Ren, I believe you, but… your friend? Why would someone suddenly send you this location? Are you sure that she’s actually trying to help you?”
Renfrew paused briefly before saying, “I trust her.”
Matthew, assumed that the “friend” Renfrew mentioned was most certainly not a friend from his kindergarten, but rather an existence far more mysterious than they could possibly imagine- someone who had way more knowledge.
But what was their intent?
“Alright, then. Renfrew and I will lead a team to this new location. Isaac, you and the others are to continue searching in the same direction.
Although the accuracy of the intel was unconfirmed, since Renfrew said he trusted this “friend”, Matthew did not want to risk giving up on the new lead they had.
“Thank you, Uncle Matt.”
Renfrew was starting to like this uncle whom he had never met before that day. Anyhow, his top priority now was to find Mommy.
Why did Ms. Myriade send him this location with an encrypted password, and how did Ms. Myriade even have this information? Renfrew looked back down at his phone. He sent a bunch of messages to Ms. Myriade, but none of them went through.
Renfrew sighed deeply and got into another car with Matthew. Clutching his phone with a heavy heart, hoping that Ms. Myriade-the friend who had been by his side since he could remember would not lie to him.
The moment Hesper saw the mole, she knew.
She had no enemies, nor was she worth any real value to be kidnapped. Thus, this person who targeted her out of nowhere could only be none other than the assassin hired by Juniper.
The man was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. Even with the lack of vision in the dark, the man still made sure to keep his face concealed. At first, Hesper only guessed that the man did not want anyone to recognize his face, but now she was sure that was the case.
