"If I were you, I'd stop wasting my energy." The dashboard lowered, and Juniper looked at Carter in surprise.
Carter typically wore suits that made him look charming, which was one of the reasons why Juniper was initially attracted to him. However, he was now dressed entirely in black, causing him to almost disappear into the darkness. Juniper couldn't help but feel that this change in appearance had somehow altered Carter's personality, making him seem like a completely different person despite having the same appearance.
"Carter?" Juniper could not remember what she was doing before she passed out. It took her a while before she came to her senses. "Where is Renfrew? I just caught him before I passed out. Where did you take him?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Carter's lips. "I thought I had no more use for you, but unexpectedly, you got Renfrew in your hands before your time to die. You really helped us a lot."
"Before my time to die?" Juniper's heart trembled. Only now did she realized she was a bit weak. There was a faint rolling sound coming from the trunk; she knew that Renfrew must be in there.
Carter hummed in pleasure. "I thought Big T would punish me severely since I failed to acquire the Duval Group. I didn't expect you to bring Renfrew with you, giving me the opportunity to redeem myself."
"Big T? What are you talking about, Carter? I don't understand a word." Juniper struggled desperately, but she couldn't use any strength. "What did you feed me?"
Carter was in a good mood, so he explained to Juniper patiently. "Do you still remember the software you used to contact 013? That's our organization's website."
