“Undercover?” Stanley asked, somewhat surprised, furrowing his brows. “Do you know his badge
number?”
I paused for a moment, shook my head slightly, and said, “All I know is that his name is Michael, I don’t
know anything else.”
Hearing this, he nodded slightly and said, “Alright, I’ll figure out a way to take him away as soon as
possible. You also be careful.”
I grunted in agreement, noticing Marguerite not far away. Worried that staying here too long would
arouse suspicion, I looked at Stanley and said, “Ezra is very vigilant, don’t stay around here for too
long. Go back quickly and take care of yourself.”
He nodded, hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Ms. Conner, you…”
Seeing him hesitate to speak, I asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
He looked at me and said, “Your mother and the others are all well.”
I paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and said with a faint smile, “As long as it’s good, thank you for
telling me all this.”
After speaking, I was about to leave with Marguerite when he called out to stop me, “Ms. Conner, don’t
you want to ask how the others are doing?”
I slightly furrowed my brow, other people?
Looking at him, still with that hesitant expression, I pursed my lips
slightly, knowing who he was referring to-Walter
Was he okay?
What’s the use of asking? By now, he and I have parted ways and moved on with our lives. He has his
own path to follow, and I have my own journey to embark on. Why bother dwelling on it?
I took a slight breath, looked at him, and smiled, “That’s all, take care of yourself, I’m leaving first.”
“Ms. Conner, he has arrived at the border.” I had barely taken a few steps when Stanley’s urgent voice
reached me.
I stood frozen in place, my hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Walter came to the border too?
What did he come to do?
Looking back at Stanley, I furrowed my brows, not yet speaking.
Stanley said, “After that day at sea, he never returned to his country. He has been searching for you at
the border, knowing that you don’t want to see him. So, he sent me here today, Ms. Conner. Why must
we cause pain to others? Clearly, if you just told him that you came to the border out of necessity, that
you wanted Ezra dead more than anyone else, that you’re here just to bring the bad guys to justice,
why would you choose to face it alone by hurting the one you love?”
Stanley hit a nerve, and I felt a lump in my throat. Thinking about Marjorie’s pregnancy, I took a deep
breath and looked at him, “Officer Stanley, I didn’t come to the border out of desperation, I came
willingly. Also, the person you mentioned, the one you think I love, I don’t. If he really comes to the
border, please tell him for me that I don’t need him to do anything for me. I chose to do what I want to
do, he doesn’t need to take risks for me. As for him, I’ve already let go. Just let him cherish the people
around him.”

Before Stanley could say anything else, Marguerite and I returned to the yard.
Upon hearing that Walter had come to the border, I was surprised, but soon I was relieved. Five years
ago, he had come to the border in search of his close relatives. Now, with Captain Lucas dead at the
hands of Ezra, his ex-wife taken away by Ezra, and the person he wanted to find still missing without a
trace, his coming was not unexpected at all.
Instead, it was his absence that truly surprised me.
With these thoughts, I gradually came to terms with a lot of things.
The harvest time for Venom Rose had quickly arrived. Perhaps due to being busy, Ezra had not been Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
to the mountains. The Venom Roses all over the mountains were harvested by machines, so they were
basically all harvested within a few days.
I learned from Marguerite that these Venom Roses were to be transported to Rustic Mount, a hundred
kilometers away from here, for processing. Due to the large amount of goods, Ezra was to follow.
The people who were guarding the mountain would also follow, not many people remained in the
mountain.
Upon receiving this news, the first thing that came to my mind was that I could take advantage of this
opportunity to try to get Michael out. If Stanley were to assist me, perhaps it wouldn’t be such a difficult
task.
Thus, I contacted the vendor through Marguerite, asking him to help me meet with Stanley. Stanley
also saw this as an opportunity and agreed.
He planned with me that after the Venom Rose was transported out of the mountain, I would find a way
to get Michael out of the dark cell.

They had been wandering outside the mountain for a long time and found a place where the electric
grid was weak. When the time came, as long as we found a way to destroy part of the electric grid, we
could get the person out.
