Chapter 85 Gone
Rebecca remained silent, even though she had been asking for permission not to go to the office for several days. She didn't care at all about the work that might be neglected due to the questions her boss had raised. The reality she had just learned from her best friend was far more terrifying than she had imagined, and it was incredibly depressing.
She had no idea that Mr. Michelle, whom she had admired so much and had placed so much hope and love on, was the man she had always loved, even though he didn't care at all. But what hurt her was how things could turn out like this. This was so terrifying, even terrifying.
Until finally, a message came in. Stephen contacted her, explaining that he didn't care about the man anymore; he didn't matter at all. This had a profound impact on Rebecca.
\[There's so much I want to talk to you about. Uncle seemed so strange when I brought up the death of a couple of businessmen a few years ago. I'm sure he knew something, but from his anger, I know something must have happened and he was involved. Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know, but I have to meet with you to discuss the symbol again.\]
Damn, this is so bad. If Steven keeps bringing up the symbol and eventually finds out about the thirteenth person, this man will do so many terrible things. He's even likely already suspicious of Kay, the boy who escaped all sorts of trouble some time ago.
The woman suddenly felt incredibly guilty, but she made this decision for everyone. And it was a consideration that no one could ever compare to. Nothing could truly be wrong, and nothing would provide such terrible support than this.
\[For this matter, I beg you to stop doing something quite annoying, because I have already told all this to the person concerned, and they are really very angry and feel that this is one of the things that is very difficult. Therefore, I do not want to be blamed by the person concerned for spreading information to you, and it would be much better if you do not interfere in this matter because it is none of your business. As your uncle said, shouldn't you be aware of the warning? The issue of whether or not your uncle is visible about this matter should also not be your concern. And I hope that you also stop always interfering in other people's affairs and focus on your own work. You must gather all the final data for me, and I don't want any data to be missed.\]
That was all the woman could do until finally she contacted her friend again to inform something because of course this is one of the things that is quite difficult to do alone. Of course, once again, this is not the woman's problem, but the problem of her friend's husband, and she should not interfere to this extent. “July, are you okay? When do you think we can meet to talk about some very important things? Steven seems to have made a mistake, that man keeps trying to force Mr. Michelle to confess something, and that is something I can’t imagine at all. I’m afraid that if Mr. Michelle continues to be pressured, he will eventually become suspicious and find out about the boy who has actually been hidden all this time, and that’s what makes me feel like I don’t know what to do. Because when he finds out where the boy is, he will easily report it to his group, and your husband’s life will definitely be in danger after that.”
"Didn't I tell you from the start, never trust Steven, he is a man who always interferes in other people's problems and he is a very annoying man who even seems to interfere with other people's plans all his life. I hate that man understands anything and even now I will never forgive anything Steven has done, therefore once again I want to emphasize to you to never say anything no matter how important to that man. And make sure that if the symbol you have told the man you withdraw so that at least Steven does not take over the symbol because if it gets out then everyone will be threatened including Mr. Michelle, at least until now I am still trying to protect him because after all he is my superior and I hope you will do the same because after all all of this is still unconfirmed."
" Okay then, I will do something immediately."
Rebecca contacted Steven again and confirmed that the symbol was completely gone from his phone, computer, and everything else he owned. Then, Rebecca pretended to ask Steven again.
\[Do you have a copy of yesterday's symbol? Mine's gone, and I'll have to do a thorough search for it.\]
\[Just a moment.\]
Rebecca waited a short time for Steven to reply, and he quickly contacted me.
"Did you take the symbol? I never thought you'd delete it after all this trouble, did you?" Steven asked, annoyed. Rebecca smiled, this was certainly proof. All the symbols had been erased, and Rebecca felt relieved.
"Damn, then what should we do?" Rebecca asked, lying.
Not long after, Rebecca contacted Julia again. There were actually many other factors that could have contributed to this.
"How are you? How's your husband?"
Julia was silent for a moment, unsure of what to say. She lowered her head and smiled wryly at the situation, of course.
"He left last night. I don't know where he went. He just came home in the middle of the night, looking so distraught. I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't know what to think about this anymore. I don't even dare ask him, afraid he'll be hurt even more."
"Your husband definitely needs time. I think this fact is not only surprising to me but to many people. Especially since your husband was a victim from the start, wasn't he?"
