Chapter 456 Her First Task



Day Fifty-Three...

~~*****~~

Jane had the urge to object. She didn't want to avoid Ethan. However, she could understand Nathan's motive. He was just thinking about Ethan.

In his eyes, Phantomflake was still his enemy. Though she revealed to him that she was Shining Star, she could feel that Nathan was still reluctant to accept the fact.

He would investigate further. He wanted to figure out and find the truth behind the two Shining Stars. Of course, Jane was willing to help him in this investigation and solve the mystery.

"Don't worry. I will never hurt your son. I will ask his forgiveness when the right time comes." Jane gazed at him intently.

Nathan just stayed silent. He didn't want to comment further. But deep inside, the idea of apologizing to Ethan was valid. He deserved to get an apology from the murderer of his mother.

Jane signed the contract. She accepted all the conditions given by Nathan. She had to start all over again. Now, she needed to gain his trust before she could win his heart.

'Sigh. I'm back to zero. And I am running out of time. Aside from making him fall in love, I must investigate things related to Monica and the people who are after Abigail's life.'

"I'll give you time to tidy yourself. I'll bring you to someone." After saying those words, Nathan turned around and left the white room.

Chantha went back to guide Jane. She requested to take a shower before leaving the Syphiruz Headquarters. She felt relieved because Nathan spared her life, giving her a chance to accomplish her mission.

"Chantha, I signed a deal with your Supreme Leader. It seems that... I won our bet. I'm not going to die just yet." Jane let out a soft giggle as she teased Chantha.

Chantha pouted her lips. "Yeah. I know. You won! Do you have a request? If you want me to do things that might harm my Supreme Leader, I won't obey your command." Chantha made it clear to her.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt your Leader. I owe him already."

Chantha nodded her head. "Good. I think we are clear about this condition. I won't do anything that might danger our organization and our Supreme Leader. That's the limitation of our deal."

"Chantha, Axel... you may leave first. Go and buy supplies." Nathan dismissed them.

When Chantha and Axel left, Nathan and Jane entered the house.

"I'll give you my first command that you must obey and fulfill." Nathan started the conversation with her.

"Okay. Just tell me." Jane was willing to do anything for him.

"You have to pretend to be the missing daughter of Mr. Hiroshi. I already prepared everything. Even the fake paternity test. Convince him to form an alliance with me." Nathan put down some files related to Mr. Hiroshi.

Jane was rendered speechless. 'What? He wants me to deceive the old man... I thought he was searching for Mr. Hiroshi's missing daughter?'

But little did she know, she was indeed the real daughter of Mr. Hiroshi. Nathan didn't want Phantomflake to know yet. He wanted her to believe that she was only doing her task of pretending to be Mr. Hiroshi's daughter.

Nathan already made some preparations. Furthermore, he calculated that Mr. Hiroshi would conduct another DNA test to make sure that Nathan found his real daughter. This was just a game of wits for Nathan. He would also test Jane through this. Would she really cooperate with him without making trouble for him?

"Okay. I will do it. But... aren't you worried that Mr. Hiroshi might find out we are deceiving him? You must find his daughter as soon as possible!" Jane urged him. She couldn't bear to lie to the old man for so long. She knew how much this old man was yearning to see his daughter. She hated the thought of deceiving the old man and giving him false hope.

"Just do as I say. Don't question me." Nathan coldly said.

"Okay."

"I will bring you to him... tomorrow. So be ready. You should keep your identity as Phantomflake from him." Nathan reminded her.

Jane just bobbed her head. They were still talking when Nathan received a call from the Sparks Residence.

"Dad! Where are you? You promised me yesterday that I would see Miss Jane today! Bring me to her, Now!" Ethan's voice resounded from the other line.

Nathan glanced at Phantomflake with conflicting thoughts. "Alright. I will give you the address."

"Yey! Thanks, Dad! Send the address now!" Ethan was so happy because his Dad would fulfill his promise.

Ethan immediately hung up the phone. When the call ended, Nathan exhaled deeply, rubbing his temples.

"My son wants to see you. You have to act coldly and indifferently in front of him. Don't be friendly toward him. Make him hate you so that he won't try to interact with you again."

Jane was greatly affected by Nathan's words. How could she do that to Ethan?
