Chapter 538 Working Together Again In One Mission



Day Sixty-Two...

~~*****~~

[ At Jane's Secret Hideout... ]

Jane and Cherry arrived at the place almost at the same time. Jane opened the door and invited her in. Cherry's eyes roamed around the house, feeling amused.

"Sis, when did you build this hideout? This is my first time coming here. Syphiruz destroyed all our hideouts. I didn't know that you owned another one."

'I just build it just recently... when my soul was still in Abigail's body,' Jane thought to herself, smiling inwardly.

"This is a property of our Mother," Jane lied. She even used Miss Frost so that Cherry would no longer ask so many questions. Cherry believed her words right away.

"So, what are we going to do next, sis? Hunting the Syphiruz and avenging our fallen comrades?" Cherry asked her expectantly. She couldn't wait to be in action again.

"No. We have a different mission, Black Rose," Jane responded with a serious face.

"What mission?" Cherry looked at her, puzzled.

Jane exhaled deeply before holding her shoulders. She made her sit first as she had something to reveal to her. She couldn't leave her in the dark for so long. Cherry should know the truth before she could ask for her help.

"Cherry, listen to everything I will say. But you have to brace yourself and keep calm. You have to know the truth," Jane started.

Cherry glanced at her, confused. But she could sense that this was something urgent and a very serious matter.

"I'm willing to listen," she said, feeling a little bit tense. 'What kind of truth is she talking about? Is it hard to accept?' Cherry mused to herself.

"Who?" Cherry asked her quizzically.

"Monica and her man named Vincent. I guess they faked her death. Someone else died on her behalf. There was no way to verify Monica's corpse since Nathan cremated her body." Jane shared her thoughts and speculation with Cherry.

"Who is cunning and powerful enough to do that, deceiving the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia?" Cherry asked in disbelief.

"Vincent..." Jane mumbled. "Everything that revolves around Monica is suspicious. Even the Raven who called the hit doesn't exist. They totally played us all in their palms," Jane said through her gritted teeth.

"I believe Vincent is the missing link in this puzzle. Monica was suspected to be having an affair behind Nathan's back. And it might be him." Jane spoke with certainty in her voice.

Cherry just kept quiet. It was hard to digest everything. She needed a moment to breathe and think.

"I'm going to get close to Vincent and find out more clues about Monica's whereabouts. I'm going to meet him today." Jane informed Cherry of her plan.

"Sis, are you sure about that? If they could scheme against the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz, then these people are truly dangerous. Getting close to this man is too risky." Cherry was worried about her safety.

"I have no choice. I need to interact with him to get to know him better. I tried to gather information about his background. But I only got limited intel about him." Jane massaged her temples. Her head was aching just thinking about it. Vincent managed to keep his identity confidential.

"Sis... I'll help you." Cherry blurted out with determination.

Jane smiled at her. "That's it. We should focus on our real target. Nathan is not our enemy. Understand?"

Cherry hesitated for a moment before nodding her head in response.

"I will corner them no matter what. They played their cards so well. Now, it's my turn to launch a counterattack," Jane declared confidently. She was hyped up.

"Okay, Sis. Just be careful. I will always back you up. Do you want me to accompany you this afternoon?" Cherry volunteered.

"No need. I want you to do something for me. You can use my computer here. Dig more information about Monica." Jane gave Cherry her task.

"Got it, Sis! I will work hard!" Cherry responded with enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Black Rose. You are the only comrade I have left. Let's do this together."Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m
