    Chapter 328 Found the Mastermind


    Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door,


    Carter''s voice echoed through, "Chloe, are you in there


    My pulse quickened, and I answered quickly, "Yes, I''m here,"


    "I need to talk to you about something."


    "Come in," I replied.


    I nced nervously at the pregnancy test pack in my hand, noticing there was only one stick.


    Carter was right. I wasn''t pregnant after all.


    At that moment, instead of feeling relief, I was filled with a sense of letdown.


    The truth was, part of me had hoped to be pregnant.

    As he opened the door, his gaze immediately caught the look of disappointment on my face. "What''s the matter?" he asked.


    "I just took the pregnancy test, and it came back negative."


    He didn''t seem at all shocked. Gently, he patted my head. "It''s okay, you''re still young. You''ll have children one day."


    He said "you" instead of "we


    The way he phrased it made me uneasy, so I quickly corrected him, ''It''s us."


    He hesitated for a moment before responding. "Yes, it''s us."


    I shifted my attention to a small pot of green nts on the table. It was a small Bodhi tree, with plump, rounded leaves, and the small fruit it bore was charming, a mix of green with a hint of red. What was especially intriguing about the nt was that this nt doesn''t bloom. It goes straight to fruit.


    I nced at him and asked, "It''s so cute. By the way, what did you want to tell me?


    Carter gently pulled me down to sit. "I went to the police station this morning"


    "What did you find out?" I asked.


    "Well, something pretty big.


    The moment I heard those words, I felt a surge of energy, my eyes widening with excitement. "Really? What did you find?"


    "That secret underground base is linked to a notorious international criminal organization, Bloodshade."


    The name was somewhat unfamiliar to me. "Is this organization involved in selling human organs?"

    Carter exined, "It''s much more than that. They engage in nearly every illegal activity to make a profit- organ trade, human trafficking, fraud, the sex trade, drug smuggling, arms dealing, and more."N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    My heart raced as I listened intently. "So, they''re only driven by money, without any regard for lives?"


    "You could say that. This organization is heartless, profiting off human suffering, yet they have some of the world''s top high-tech and medical experts."


    "Do they also get involved in these activities?" I asked.


    "Silly girl, do you think their organ trade and other twisted dealings are just for pleasure? The people at the top have wealth and power, and their biggest fear is aging and death. That leads them to create services designed just for them, with no morals, only the pursuit of indulgence and pleasure."


    I was also aware of some of these facts. The Sanders are just a minor yer among the rich and doesn''t have the standing to interact with the elite. Because of this, I don''t know all the details.


    "So, what about you?"


    Carter didn''t hold anything back. "Yes, someone did invite me, but I turned it down. I''m not even interested in women, so I wouldn''t be caught dead in such a strange ce. What surprised me was that this organization reached out to us. This underground base in the country is just one of their numerous locations around the world."


    The thought of these ces existing, where darkness thrives beneath the surface, and innocent people are trafficked and ughtered like livestock, fills me with deep sorrow.


    Not everyone is granted a second chance in this life. How many lives vanish without anyone ever knowing?


    "Have they figured out who runs this base?"


    Carter replied, "Some refer to her as Dark Rose."


    "Is that just an alias?"


    Carter remarked. "Yes, no one knows her real age or looks, only that she''s a woman and a cruel one at that. This person probably has a vendetta against both the Boltons and Sanders, which is why she set up this trap. Anna and Ss are nothing more than her tools." "If they know who she is, why haven''t they arrested her yet? She couldn''t have escaped, could she?".


    "When the underground base was raided, someone tipped her off right away. By the time the authorities. arrived, it was already empty."


    "What about Anna? Surely the nearby security cameras would have caught her leaving."


    Carter shook his head. "They managed to slip away. She used a fake license te car and vanished. Thetest reports say they''ve already left Snowville. The consequences of this incident are huge, and the higher-ups are furious. Dark Rose had to abandon her operations and flee in haste."


    Hearing this, let out a soft sigh. "They''ve taken so many lives, and yet they just walk away? The dead can''t


    return.


    "She will return. The Sanders and Boltons are her obsession. Once the storm settles, she''ll be back, and

    then


    Carter''s voice turned icy. "I want her to return and never leave."


    No matter who the person behind this truly is, at least we''ve found some leads now, and we won''t be so defenseless next time.


    Although I felt reluctant, there was nothing I could do.


    Carter reassured, "Chloe, don''t worry. I''ll get justice for you!"


    "I believe in you."


    After Ss body was examined, it was sent back to the Bolton Residence. Due to his unique status, the family didn''t make a spectacle of it but instead arranged a modest and private funeral for both him and She


    There were no photos, no records, just his code name.


    I watched as the man who had once killed me wasid to rest in the burial grounds carefully chosen by the Boltons. Adam knelt there, crying without control, but I felt nothing Purchase thend next to his


    Adam stared at me with bloodshot eyes, and I spoke coldly. "He loved Anna so deeply. He must want to be buried beside her, with Anna,"


    Adam''s face turned red with anger as he shouted, "Zocy, how can you be so cold-hearted! He was a life, and now he''s gone. Can''t you feel any sympathy?"


    Sympathy?


    I let out a bitterugh. When Ss plunged that knife into me, he didn''t show me a shred of sympathy.


    I didn''t scatter his remains or desecrate his body, it was already a great mercy on my part.


    "Adam, there''s no love without reason in this world, and there''s no hatred without reason either."


    Adam grumbled angrily to himself, "You''re out of your mind!"


    I paid no attention to him. Eventually, he''d realize what his son had done to me.


    I approached Ss'' grave and spoke softly, enunciating each word, "Don''t worry, Anna will be with you


    soon."


    Despite Adam''s ongoing muttering and insults, I pushed Carter forward before turning and walking away, not sparing a nce.


    "Carter, let''s set up a few hidden cameras


    around here."


    Carter quickly caught on, "You think Anna hasn''t really gone?"


    "Ss'' death must have shattered her. Even if she did leave, she''ll return, at least to light a candle for him."

    I tried to imagine Anna''s feelings. Losing someone she loved so deeply, she must be having a hard timeing to terms with it.


    "When shees back, we''ll catch her by surprisel After that, everything will change."


    Carter gazed at the setting sun. "It''s time for us to seize control of everything."
