Chapter 508

Seeing Sid’s actions, Janet’s entire body stiffened and she could barely speak.

Sid picked up the sketch paper on the ground. After confirming that he could still recognize the portrait, he looked at Janet coldly.

Janet’s back stiffened under that gaze and she subconsciously took two steps back. “Sid, you…”

Janet couldn’t help but think, ‘His gaze is like looking at a stranger. No! He won’t look at strangers so coldly.

Sid closed his eyes in disappointment. “Janet, is this what you meant by ‘waiting for your good news’?”

Janet quickly shook her head and said with trembling lips,” No, Sid, it’s not what you see.”

“Huh…” Sid laughed and asked, “It’s not what I think. Do you think I’m blind, or do you think I’m not smart? Janet, don’t forget that my results were better than yours when studying.”

No color could be seen on Janet’s face. Even her lips were pale.

She wanted to explain but didn’t know how because Sid had seen everything.

Seeing that she was silent, Sid said expressionlessly, “Let me guess what the ‘good news’ you brought back is. It should be that the portrait was burned by Ulric’s people, right? I think you might deliberately injure yourself to gain our trust.” As Sid spoke, he glanced at Janet’s pocket. Janet subconsciously looked down and saw that the extendable dagger was half-exposed from her pocket. She quickly stuffed the retractable dagger back, but this action was meaningless: And her explanation made no sense.

Janet gritted her teeth and asked, “When did you find out…” Her voice was trembling.

Janet’s words were equivalent to admitting that she had betrayed them.

However, the two of them had been good friends for many years. In the end, Sid could not bear to see it. He decided to let her “die” in peace, so he answered patiently, “On the day the youth center caught fire.”

Janet’s eyelids twitched. “You heard what I said when I called in the alley?”

“Only a few words. I didn’t hear them very well. At that time, it was just suspicion, but I’m sure today in the bathroom.”

“You heard everything?”

Sid frowned and said, “That’s right. Also, James didn’t call you at all. I was the one who called you. You’re smart and cautious. You even knew to change your card when you called so we wouldn’t find out. But Janet, have you heard the saying that God watches what you do? As long as you have a guilty conscience, you can’t keep a secret forever.” Janet’s eyes were filled with despair. She smiled sadly and asked, “If you know, Ken should know it too, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me for today’s mission.” “You’re wrong.” Sid shook his head and said, “Ken doesn’t know anything. I didn’t tell him. Firstly, I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake and misunderstand you. Secondly, I want to give you one last chance.”

He lifted the sketch and said, “Unfortunately, you didn’t take this last chance.”

Janet’s eyes lit up. She automatically ignored everything else and only heard the words “Ken doesn’t know anything.”

She lowered her eyes slowly, and a cold light filled with hostility was hidden deep in her eyes.

However, her long and thick eyelashes covered the change in her expression. When she looked up, she already had a self-reproaching and aggrieved expression.

Janet’s expression was usually cold and aloof, like a high and mighty goddess. Now, her expression made her look a little more lively.

She swallowed her saliva and her throat moved up and down with her actions. She smiled bitterly and said, “Sid, if I had a choice, would I choose to betray you? You know me. For Ken, I can become enemies with the entire world. If I wasn’t forced, why would I do such a thing? Just take it that I’m begging you. Just pretend that you didn’t see anything, okay?”

When Sid saw tears flowing from Janet’s eyes, he closed his eyes with mixed feelings. But his tone was resolute.” Janet, it’s too late for you to say this now. Since you chose to work for Ulric, you should have known from the beginning that you are already our enemy. I can’t pretend that I didn’t see anything. Come back with me now and tell Ken everything.”

After Sid finished speaking, he grabbed the painting with one hand and Janet’s wrist with the other. He was about to pull her out.

“No, Sid! Just take it that I’m begging you. I’m begging you, alright? This is the first time I’ve helped him. I swear there won’t be a next time.” As Janet spoke, she bent her legs and knelt before Sid.

“I’m begging you, Sid. We’ve been friends for so many years. Are you going to leave me in the lurch? If you take me to see Ken, he won’t forgive me. From now on, we’ll be strangers when we meet again. Are you going to let things develop like this?” Janet asked.

Sid frowned and said coldly, “Did I let things develop like this? If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. This time, you’ve disappointed all of us. Don’t kneel anymore. Come with me. Otherwise, I’ll directly inform them to come here and take you away in public.”

Janet’s expression was dark. “Sid, I didn’t expect you to be so cruel to me when we grew up together.”

–

Sid wanted to say something, but Janet interrupted him. “It’s all because of Melody, right? Ever since she came, you don’t care about me anymore. Whether it’s you, James, or Ken himself, all of you are biased toward that useless ugly freak. I don’t understand why. Why? What exactly did she attract you to be so biased toward her?”

Sid’s frown deepened. “Janet, what nonsense are you talking about? You did something wrong yourself. What does it have to do with Melody? If she were the one who betrayed us today, I would expose her without hesitation and bring her to Ken.”

“You make it sound so nice. But if she makes a mistake, you’ll side with her,” Janet said furiously.

Sid shook his head and said weakly, “Janet, you’re completely possessed. But I advise you to calm down before you see Ken. Otherwise… he’ll only punish you more severely.” After saying that, Sid did not want to waste his breath on Janet. After all, one couldn’t wake someone who was pretending to be asleep no matter what.

He exerted force and easily pulled Janet up from the ground. “Come with me.

“Let go!” Janet broke free from Sid’s grip. “I can walk on my own. I don’t need you to pull me.”

Sid looked at her indifferently. “You’d better follow me obediently. The airport is filled with our people. You won’t be able to escape.”

“Huh.” Janet laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Run? Don’t worry, I won’t run. I will ask Ken for an explanation. Let’s ask clearly who is more important to him. Me or Melody.”

“You’re so hopeless…” Sid shook his head but did not say anything else. He walked ahead.

However, he had only taken two steps when a dagger suddenly pierced his back and pierced through his entire chest.
