“He got away.” The answer made the voice on the other end of the phone breathe a sigh of relief.

The sound of police sirens was blaring outside the gate of the old residence. The gate opened, andpolice cars slowly drove in, their urgent sirens creating an atmosphere of panic.

The person on the phone, hiding behind the curtain, pecked outside and saw the police carsapproaching. It was the police chief, Dwayne, whom Lea had mentioned

“They want to settle old and new scores together, including the poisoning incident. Their goal is lifeimprisonment, and they plan to make things even worse for me in prison. I need you to hire the bestlawyer, no matter the cost or connections needed. Get my sentence reduced and replace a way to getme out. Otherwise, I’ll spill everything. You know the consequences!” Desperate and cornered, themole was ready to take everyone down with him. If he couldn’t live easy, no one else would either.

Bang! The door was kicked open, and the entryway was immediately blocked, Christian stood in themiddle, with Lea supporting his arm beside him. Victor and Jason followed closely behind.

The room was dark, but the light from the hallway illuminated the scene. In the backlight, Christian’sface was ashen, his eyes red with fury. “Jeffrey. it’s you… His voice was hoarse, filled with sorrow,his eyes brimming with tears.

The person in the room was indeed the builer, Jeffrey

Jeffrey immediately ended the call, staring at the people at the door in shock and despair. Thelight from the doorway fell on his face. His expression gradually shifted, becoming cold, ruthless,

and defiant. The way he looked at Christian was filled with disdain and hostility, with no trace ofrespect. His entire demeanor changed. This was his true face.

Lea was also taken aback. “Jeffrey, I didn’t expect it to be you” Her tone was filled withdisappointment and complexity. She had always believed that in her previous life, Jeffrey wasChristian’s confidant and had met a tragic end because of his loyalty. His aloof personality, shapedby harsh experiences in his youth at war alongside Christian, made him a man of few words.

During the time Lea escaped from the Berry residence to the old residence, Jeffrey treated her withrespect. He didn’t say much, but his words were always filled with care and advice. There waseven that time in the heavy rain when Helen tried to harm her, and he stepped in to protect her. Leaalways hoped Jeffrey wasn’t the mole. But now it seemed, in her previous Life, Jeffrey wasn’t killedfor protecting her grandfather. He was likely silenced

Jeffrey sensed something off “What do you mean! Didn’t you already know?”

At that moment, a servant hurried upstairs. “Mr. Berry, Miss Lea. Mr. Brown has arrived. Should Iinvite him up?“–

Christian’s face was a mix of grief and complexity, unsure of what to do,

“Victor, Lea said, turning to Victor, “Please go down and tell Mr. Brown that I contacted himimpulsively last night because I was kidnapped and shocked. There’s nothing suspicious in our oldresidence. I apologize for making him come all the way here”

Just moments ago, Lea had been so forceful in the hall, pushing Christian to agree to her handlingof the situation. Now she was doing the opposite.

Jeffrey was equally shocked and relieved, Jason was stunned. Victor looked at Christian inconfusion, doubting what he had heard. Christian, still in shock, looked at his granddaughter and

hadn’t yet reacted

“Go ahead,” Lea said again. Victor realized he hadn’t misheard,

“Mr. Berry, Miss Lea. I’ll go then,” said Victor.

Christian glanced at Lea and nodded.

Victor went downstairs, met Dwayne, who was already in the living room, and politely explained thesituation. Dwayne had met Lea once and he admired her courage and understood her situation. Heeven offered to help investigate the kidnapping. Victor declined on behalf of his masters and warmlysaw them out.

Upstairs, they watched through the window as Dwayne and his subordinates left in several policecars, driving out the main

Jeffrey watched the police cars disappear from view, let out a long sigh of relief, and pointed hisphone at Lea. “You tricked me?”

Jason stepped forward, snatched the phone, and tried to see who Jeffrey had called “The phonehas software on it. The information has been destroyed,” Jason said to Lea in disappointment.

Jeffrey had strong instincts and good counter–surveillance. After all, he was ex–military, withpowerful backing. Even Alfred couldn’t fully uncover

Jason checked the SIM card. The card is also destroyed, Miss Lea This….”

Lea glanced at it, uninterested, then looked at Jeffrey, “Yes, I don’t know who kidnapped me. Ididn’t contact any lawyers or judges. I just asked Mr. Brown to come over through connections.

Jeffrey felt unsteady and took a few steps back, wondering why would Lea’s tricks expose him.“How did you know I would expose myself through this way!!

“Everyone in the old residence has a simple background. There’s nothing special. Anyone whowould do this must have received great benefits from the mastermind. I blocked the mole’s way out,so he had to ask the mastermind for help. It was the only chance. Having been in the old residencefor so long without being noticed for poisoning Grandpa, the mole must have great wit and he coulddefinitely make a call,” said Lea. “Before I came back from my exam, 1 had Jason install bugs inevery room Jeffrey, at this point, we need an explanation.” Lea looked up with a sharp gaze. “Andwho told you to do it?”

Christian had accepted the truth, filled with grief and anger, but he could only accept it. He closedhis eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his face was stern and imposing. Withoutsaying a word, his mere presence demanded an answer.

“Miss Lea, you said it yourself, I received a great benefit. Why bother asking! Jeffrey, fully exposed,had nothing left to lose. “As for the mastermind. whether I say it or not.” His eyes gleamed coldly atthem. “Il die either way

“So,” Lea asked, stern and cold, “you won’t tell?”
