?Chapter 2207


    Tears filled Be''s eyes as she clutched at Jace''s clothing, sobbing uncontrobly. "I miss my father, my brothers, and Justin. Please, let me go home... Please..."


    Jace listened in silence, his steps steady and resolute.


    "Return Be to me!" Christopher screamed desperately, dropping all pretense as he frantically blocked Jace''s path.


    "She''s not legally your wife yet, so she isn''t yours," Jace replied nkly. He looked at Christopher with a hint of derision. "Even if I gave her to you, can your body even handle it?"


    Christopher''s weakened body trembled as he retracted his shaking hand.


    Although exhausted and terrified, Be remained clear-headed. Jace''s words carried a hidden meaning. Was Christopher''s body truly at its limit?


    The sea breeze only grew stronger in the night, howling relentlessly.


    Jace held Be tightly, moving forward steadily. As her sobs subsided, he spoke calmly. "There will be a typhoon tonight."


    Be looked up at the man''s jawline. "If there were no typhoon, would you still have stopped me from leaving?"


    Jace''s gaze darkened as he continued to walk. "I''ll let you in on a secret. I came here to ensure you don''t end up with Christopher."


    Be''s eyes widened with a mixture of hope and dismay. This man felt like her older brother, or perhaps she had unconsciously ced him in that role.


    Despite everything, she clung to the hope that within him, there might still be a trace of the kind and bright person she once knew.


    "This is an order from my boss," Jace said, looking down at her. "Don''t be mistaken. Even if the night were clear, I would still have stopped you."


    Be''s heart sank, feeling profound hopelessness.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Everything that Christopher has was given to him by our boss. Now that he is no longer useful, everything he has will be reimed." Jace''s tone was matter-of-fact. "The Boss never makes a losing deal."


    "Who is this boss?" Be''s voice was hoarse as she asked. "Is he someone Justin and I know? He had calcted everything so precisely, manipting everyone, including Christopher and me, ying with everything at his whim. Does he know me or even understand me? How did youe to be involved with him?"


    After a long hesitation, Be felt she had never been so close to the truth.


    "I am not your older brother," Jace said solemnly. He fell silent. "I advise you to stay away from the truth. The truth can only lead to utter ruin."


    The next morning, a convoy from the Presidential House escorted Asher to the pce to meet King George. The group anxiously awaited news.


    In the afternoon, Asher returned, handing over the King''s signed special authorization document to


    Edward.


    "We can mobilize the troops now." Everyone felt renewed hope as they prepared.


    Only Justin noticed the shadow of mncholy in Asher''s eyes upon his return from the pce.
