Hesper's heart sank hearing what 013 said, but she still let out a chuckle.
"I admire your confidence, but this isn't the first time you've tried to kill me."
013 was not provoked by her. He offered Hesper a smile and said, "Don't worry, no one will save you this time. I've even arranged for someone else to witness your death. She probably wants you dead more than I do."
'Someone else?'
Hesper frowned and understanding soon dawned upon her.
"Juniper."
Hesper's heart sank to the pit of her stomach as soon as the name spilled out of her lips.
She did not have the confidence to escape from 013 alone, and now with Juniper in the mix, her escape was even less likely.
"When the time comes, all I need to do is kill you first, then I'll kill Juniper. After that, I'll make it look like she killed you before committing suicide. Then I can retire in peace," 013 said, his voice thick with delight. As he was humming, he muttered, "Seth cannot kill someone… He's in college and has a bright future."
Hesper furrowed her brow, not wanting to say anything else to 013. She wanted to open the car door, but the car was still speeding and the door was completely locked.
She was still a step behind them. Never in her wildest dream did she imagine that she would fall into 013's hands after outsmarting Nathaniel.
It was not a long journey, so they soon arrived in front of a chemical plant.
