Chapter 335 Now Kiss
Me Luna couldn't be lying because she was driven into a corner now.
But the truth was so ugly that even a tough guy like Leo felt deeply hurt.
He stared grimly at Nadine.
It wasn't that he didn’t trust her.
Nadine had worked for him for five years, and he had no doubt as to her loyalty, but the fact that Nadine had held out on him cut him deep.
The organization press-ganged new members from every corner of the world each year, and it had a strict hierarchical structure, each team named after its executive officer...
Undoubtedly, Luna was talking about "Phantom’.
However, Leo still couldn't believe that Nadine was actually from Phantom.
Five years ago, Leo helped Nadine off the hook and set her free.
He thought that was the end of it, but it turned out there was another boss controlling the organization Nadine had belonged to.
At this moment, Leo found it difficult to breathe, feeling as if he was trapped in an invisible web.
Her face pale, her eyes bloodshot, Nadine said to Leo agitatedly, "I’m so sorry, my lord.
This is the only thing | hide from you.
I've been worried that you'd ditch me because of my origin.
| don’t want to be ditched again!”
"Ditch you? Why would | do that?”
Leo stared earnestly at Nadine.
"If | had cared about your origin, | wouldn't have let you go or saved you when you were assassinating me.
| trust you as a person, not your origin!”
Depression and gloom hung over the two of them like a shadow.
Only those who Leo trusted and was close to could make him emotional like this.
As for Luna, who was sitting on the back seat, she was totally stupefied.
All she did was tell the truth, but she accidentally revealed the secret Nadine had been keeping.
"| was wrong, my lord!”
Nadine had always been a ruthless killer, but now tears gushed out of her eyes.
“It’s true that Phantom trained me as a killer, but ever since | decided to work for you, I’ve been loyal to you, and I’ve had no relation with Phantom ever!”
“L know that.”
Leo's features softened a little.
He had been watching Nadine’s every move during the past five years.
If she had been an undercover agent for Phantom, she wouldn't have risked her life protecting him.
Leo felt bitter about being betrayed, especially by his closest friend.
"Leave me alone,’ Leo said bleakly and opened the car door, standing by the road, smoking.
Watching him, Nadine felt guilty, but more distressed.
It was the first time she had ever hated her own origin so much.
She regretted it.
She regretted having kept the truth from him.
Especially after Homer had disappeared and Phantom had become Leo's sworn enemy, Nadine had feared to tell him the truth.
"Well, did | say something | shouldn't have said?”
Luna asked carefully, confused.
Nadine looked back at Luna with tearful eyes.
"If Mr.
Cohen begins suspecting me, I'll kill you!”
Luna felt aggrieved.
She just told the truth, and that was all.
Some time later, Leo finished his cigarette and got back into the car.
"My lord, I..." Just as Nadine wanted to say something, Leo waved his hand and gave a little smile.
"No more of that.
Now that we’ve cleared the air, let’s forget about it.
Don’t take it to heart." Nadine nodded.
Leo softened his tone a little, but she could tell they weren’‘t as close as they had used to be.
Thinking of that, Nadine was thrown into the depths of despair.
After that, Leo told Luna to go back to Emerdale with them before he rested his eyes.
“T'll get off here." Leo smiled at Nadine at the entrance of the Henderson residence.
