Everyone couldn't believe what they were witnessing. The infamous assassin was kissing their ruthless Supreme Leader!
But among the crowd, Axel also thought the same as Black Rose. 'Damn! What if she is feeding him some poison? She is going to kill our Boss and commit suicide after that!'
Axel panicked at that thought. He was going to pull Jane away from their Supreme Leader but he stopped the moment he saw Nathan raise his hands as if he was going to hold her.
Axel blinked in puzzlement. 'Is he kissing her back?'
Just when he thought he misunderstood his Boss, Nathan recovered from his trance. He captured Jane's wrists, gripping them tightly. Then in one swift motion, he pushed her away from his body while turning her around.
Nathan twisted her arm and pulled her close, her back pressed against his body. To other people, their current position looked like he was hugging her from behind, but in reality, he restrained her with a strong grip. His gun was aimed directly at her head.
"What do you think you are doing, Phantomflake?" He asked through gritted teeth. He used the back of his palm to wipe his lips.
"Someone! Get us a bottle of water." Axel suddenly shouted. He hastily turned to face Nathan. "Sir, do you feel sick? Dizzy? Did she feed you with something?" Axel's face was painted with worries and concerns, assuming Nathan got poisoned by her.
Jane squinted her eyes on Axel. "I just kissed him. I didn't feed him with some weird things." She paused for a moment, smiling playfully. Then she added, "Well... except for my saliva."
"Cough! Cough!" Axel choked at Phantomflake's last remarks.
Nathan's ears turned red from both anger and embarrassment. He didn't expect that Phantomflake would act shamelessly like this. She was not taking her situation seriously as if she was just playing around with them.
"Leave us alone!" Nathan ordered his men. His authoritative voice gave Jane a chill.
'Just like before... he commanded his men the same thing. He wants to deal with me alone.' Jane recalled her confrontation with Nathan in her previous life.
Axel looked at him worriedly. He was reluctant to leave them. But Nathan's dark gaze intimidated him. He had no choice but to obey his command.
"Listen to me first. Set aside your hatred and anger. There are lots of things I want to tell you right now. I am running out of time. So please... hear me out." Jane requested him with her pleading eyes.
"Stop. Calling. Me. By. My. Name." Nathan couldn't understand why Phantomflake was calling him affectionately. He didn't know her at all.
"I don't care about any of that! All I want to know is, why did you kill Monica?! Why? If I was your target, you should've killed me instead—not her!" Nathan burst out! His body trembled in anger. He just lost his woman he loved.
Jane's expression had become serious. She hated seeing Nathan act like this over Monica. Deep down, she was jealous... insanely jealous. He cared about the wrong woman.
"Don't be a fool, Nathan Sparks! Don't be blinded by your anger! I didn't kill Monica. Or should I say, I haven't killed her yet!"
Nathan clenched his jaw as he watched her in confusion. "Stop playing mind games with me. You shot her right in front of me... You killed her. Monica is dead!"
"She's not Monica! And I can prove it to you. Go and check her DNA if it matches Veronica's DNA. Monica and Veronica are sisters. That woman is not Monica. I am hundred percent certain!" Jane revealed the first deception of Monica.
Nathan was rendered speechless again. It looked like Phantomflake knew a lot about Monica, including Veronica.
"The real Monica is still alive. You can even compare if the dead woman's DNA matches your son's DNA. I can assure you. That woman is not Ethan's biological mother. Not even the real Monica..."
Jane paused for a moment, staring intently into his eyes. "I'm Ethan's biological mother!" She revealed the most important truth.
However, Nathan couldn't discern if she was telling the truth or a lie. Her words didn't make sense at all. And Jane understood if Nathan wouldn't believe her words easily. It was natural for Nathan to doubt her.
Nathan remained silent as he tried to absorb all the information she just disclosed to him.
"I'll give you time to confirm my words. I'm coming with you. I won't run away from you. If you find out that I've lied, you can kill me anytime."
After saying that, Jane grabbed Nathan's hand, intertwining her fingers with his. "Let's go. You can take me home tonight. I won't resist. I will stick with you until you believe my words!"
Nathan: "..."
