He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1095

Hearing the commotion above, Scarlett immediately looked up at the night sky.

The deafening roar of the rotors grew louder as a civilian rescue helicopter slowly hovered over the mountaintop clearing before touching down steadily.

The cabin door slid open. A woman dressed in tactical combat gear, wearing a tactical cap and face paint, leaped out with a riot gun in hand, her posture impeccably straight.

Even though the camouflage obscured her features, the clear, sharp voice was enough for both Scarlett and Julian to recognize her instantly.

It was none other than Juno Croft.

Julian was entirely unfazed by his younger cousin's appearance.

The Croft family had deep roots, filled with hidden talents and formidable individuals.

To the outside world, Juno was known merely as a special lecturer at a university and a professor of public safety—low-key, academic, and dedicated to education.

But very few people knew that she had undergone professional security and tactical training since childhood. She held both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the country's top university for public security and law, specializing in emergency response, wilderness rescue, and crisis risk management.

After graduation, she stayed on to teach while also serving as a contracted expert for specialized national emergency rescue agencies. She frequently participated in mountain rescues, crisis stabilization, and wilderness support operations. Holding elite emergency response credentials, she was a highly respected, albeit incredibly low-profile, combat-ready expert in her field.

This operation was the mission she had just been assigned.

However, she never expected that upon arriving, she would discover the targets of the ambush were none other than her own brother and sister-in-law.

Seeing the sheer shock in Scarlett's eyes, a flicker of surprise crossed Juno's face as well.

But she quickly regained her composure. She pointed the muzzle of her gun directly at Veronica, who was already pale with terror, and spoke with icy authority.
