Jessica was lying in the cafe on the first floor of the shopping mall outside Heigang International very listlessly.
Her short, dark blue shoulder-length hair fell softly on the dining table, and the cute cat ears on both sides, which were similar in color to her hair, lay on her head as if deflated, looking listless.
"What should I do, Franka-senpai, I will take the test with you tomorrow, hmm~ How can I be your opponent?! If I fail the test, I may not be able to become a regular again!!"
Think of this.
Jessica couldn't help but blush, her cute little face looked like she was about to cry. Her face was round and round, and she looked so cute that people couldn't help but want to take a big bite.
Opposite Jessica.
Franka was sitting leisurely on the small sofa in the cafe, crossing her legs and slowly shaking the Frappuccino in her hand. The translucent black silk wrapped her slender and round legs, and her almost perfect little feet were light. Lifting it slightly, the high heels hooked on her toes.
After listening to Jessica's words, Franka also felt a little embarrassed. On her extremely delicate and mature face, one cheek bulged out like a hamster.
"Well~~ I can't help it, Jessica. Your strength has already reached the level of a regular operator tomorrow morning. Every time you take the promotion assessment, your results are always unsatisfactory. You are too nervous. This needs to be overcome. ."
As the 'elder' of Black Steel International, the organization where they work, Jessica went out with Franka to perform simple tasks as an intern. Franka's evaluation of this junior was that her overall quality and strength Fully qualified, and even in terms of skill and combat literacy alone, he can even serve as a backbone in some small organizations, but the only drawback...
She is too unconfident, timid, prone to panic, and doesn't have many opinions. This is why her performance in the full-time examination is always less than ideal.
And so it is again this time.
The previous rounds of assessments were not ideal, and now only the last one, the 1V1 practical assessment, is left. Other interns only need to be on a 50-50 basis with ordinary regular employees to become regular employees. However, Jessica's previous scores are really good. It was too low. If she wanted to pass, she would have to hold it under her hand for at least five minutes.
Razer, who had been sitting silently next to her, pinched the soft flesh on Franka's waist hard, then raised her head and said.
"You can release the water."
"You think those guys in charge of assessment are blind."
Franka was also a little helpless, and then the conversation changed and she became serious.
"Besides, I won't give in. We are mercenaries from Black Steel International. Now during the internship, Jessica, you can follow me. This way you can take care of me. After becoming a full-time employee, you won't be able to follow me all the time. It's necessary after all. If you complete the mission alone, the enemy will not let you go. If I let you go and let you pass the regular examination, it will harm you."
"Woo~~"
Jessica whined twice in frustration like a kitten and lay motionless on the table.
"By the way, Senior Franka, Senior Razer, I have one more thing, about my personal..."
"kindness?"
Jessica was a little embarrassed to say it. She scratched her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her little hands.
"I've been feeling a weird feeling lately when I'm home from get off work."
"strangeness?"
Franka and Razer poked their heads curiously at the same time.
"Well...like a kind of being..."
The last word was really hard to say. Jessica held it in for a long time and her face turned red from holding it in before she said it.
"The feeling of being spied on>﹏<!!"
"???"
"???"
Ten thousand question marks flashed over Franka and Razer's heads.
Jessica quickly explained that, after all, as an intern at Black Steel International, it wouldn't be embarrassing if she was spied on.
"I spent a whole day checking my room. There were no cameras, and there were no other houses within one kilometer of my house. As for thieves, the security guards in our community are veterans and patrol the community basically 24 hours a day, so there is no possibility of a thief. Not very sexual."
"?"
"?"
Franka turned her head and looked at Razer beside her.
"Aren't the community security guards all uncles?"
Razer: "The community where I live has five security guards and 20 teeth."
"And I....."
Jessica spoke softly.
"When I go to bed every night, this feeling is very strong, but my bedroom is only 100 square meters. I have checked it, and there can be no problem..."
"Senior Franka, senior Razer, do you think I will meet..."
Jessica's face changed slightly, and she was a little scared.
"There's a ghost..."
However, Franca and Razer did not answer immediately this time. Their attention was entirely focused on the word 100 square meters. In Mobile City, the capital of Colombia, where land is at a premium, a small apartment of 100 square meters was already available. It can almost wipe out Franka's savings from life and death over the years. A bedroom of 100 square meters? What rich man?
"Um... I think maybe Jessica, you are a little nervous because you are about to take the full-time assessment, so you are a little mentally sensitive."
Razer held his chin and analyzed.
"Maybe..."
Jessica was also suspicious, but the feeling of being peeked from behind was so real that she slept with the door locked and the gun under her pillow these days.
"Otherwise, Jessica, if you still feel that way tonight, we'll go home with you tomorrow."
"Really?!"
Jessica was delighted.
"Thank you, Franka-senpai!"
night.
After completing the extra training before the assessment, Jessica returned to the villa where she lived. When she opened the door, she hesitated a little. Because the sense of peeping in the past few days was so real that it made her shudder. As a result, she now has some I don't dare to go home.
Bang...
Swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Jessica opened the door nervously. The home was still the same home, and it still felt familiar, without any trace of unfamiliarity. She checked every room, even the corners of the roof. When she was sure that there was no problem, and that the sense of prying eyes did not appear, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was because she was too nervous these days.
Turn around and go to the bathroom to put the water in, preparing to take a bath and relax after a while, so as to be in the best mental state to face tomorrow's assessment.
While pouring water, he held up the sink and looked at his haggard face in the mirror due to nervousness and worry.
A shadow suddenly rushed up to the ceiling from behind her.
"ah!!"
Jessica yelled, and the hairs all over her body suddenly stood up, and her cute cat ears and tail stood up suddenly as if they were frightened. In the huge villa, Jessica looked very beautiful. He felt so helpless, his eyes were red again, and his tears were rolling crazily.
What a ghost! !
She was right! !
Woohoo! ! Miss Franka! Help! !
Jessica kept wailing in her heart.
She slowly raised her head toward the ceiling.
Looking up like this.
A ghost-like, handsome figure with only an upper body but no lower body, and a translucent body was floating above, and met her eyes.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Chapter 70 Ring the BellSix months later, the hospital corridor was filled with a sound that meant life.Hope.Mary stood at the center of it all, her fingers wrapped tightly around the golden rope attached to the bell. Her body was thinner than before, her head wrapped in a soft scarf, but her eyes—her eyes were alive. Strong. Victorious.“Go on,” one of the nurses said gently, smiling through teary eyes. “Ring it.”Mary looked around her.Sarah stood closest to her, holding her hand, trembling with emotion. Beside Sarah was James, his arm protectively around her shoulders. Their son stood proudly in front, grinning widely. Mary’s husband stood tall, his chest filled with gratitude. Her stepchildren, Mr. Salvador, relatives, friends—everyone who had prayed, cried, waited, and hoped—were all there.Mary inhaled deeply.Then she rang the bell.The sound echoed down the hallway—clear, loud, victorious.Cheers erupted instantly.Clapping. Whistles. Laughter mixed with tears. Nurses hugg
Chapter 69 The Question That Changed EverythingThe question came quietly, but it shattered the room.Sarah had been listening to her mother’s story in silence, her chest tight, her heart bruised from everything she had already heard. Her mind was struggling to keep up—with abandonment, with suffering, with loss that stretched back before she was even born.She swallowed hard.“Mom…” Sarah said, her voice barely steady.“Then who is my father?”The room froze.Mary stiffened, her hands trembling in her lap. She lowered her head, staring at the white hospital sheets as though they could somehow hide the truth she had carried for decades.No one spoke.Sarah’s heart began to pound. “Mom?” she pressed gently.Mary inhaled sharply, as if pulling air into a chest that had been empty for years. When she finally spoke, her voice was broken, stripped of all strength.“Your father…” she whispered. “Your father is my father.”Sarah blinked.“What?” she asked.Mary lifted her tear-filled eyes to
CHAPTER 68 — If I Can’t Have YouJanice knew it was over.The news had been on every channel.The assassin had been arrested.Her name was already circling—slowly, dangerously—through police reports and whispered investigations.There was no escaping anymore.She stood alone in her bedroom, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were wild, bloodshot, hollow. The woman staring back at her was no longer the polished, admired Janice the world once knew.She was desperate.And desperation stripped her of reason.“If I can’t have you,” she whispered shakily, “then no one will.”Her lips trembled into a broken smile.James.If James was gone, then Sarah would lose everything too.That thought hardened her resolve.Within minutes, Janice changed her appearance—plain nurse’s uniform, hair tucked neatly under a cap, face masked just enough to avoid recognition. She moved with purpose, her heart pounding violently against her chest.She didn’t think about prison.She didn’t think abo
CHAPTER 67 — When the Net Closed InJames lay quietly in his hospital bed, staring at the ceiling.The room was silent except for the faint rhythm of the heart monitor beside him. Sarah had stepped out briefly to speak with a nurse, leaving James alone with his thoughts. His body ached, but it was nothing compared to the storm raging in his mind.The assassin had been exposed.The face caught on CCTV.The footage circulating.The police search tightening.James swallowed hard.He had lived long enough to know one thing—when criminals are cornered, they become dangerous.His phone buzzed suddenly.James flinched.Unknown number.A chill crawled up his spine.He hesitated, then answered.“Hello?”A distorted voice came through the line, low and tense.“You ruined everything.”James’s heart skipped.It was him.“The police are after me,” the man hissed. “My face is everywhere. I need money—now.”James’s fingers tightened around the phone.“I didn’t hire you,” James said coldly. “You’re c

CHAPTER 59 — The Truth She CarriedMary woke up slowly.At first, everything felt distant—the steady beep of machines, the smell of antiseptic, the soft hum of hospital activity around her. Her eyelids fluttered open, heavy and weak, and the first thing she saw was the familiar face of her husband,

CHAPTER 6 — A Detour of Fate. Sarah woke up early the next morning with one thing on her mind — the bracelet.The thin silver band with the initials J.S. lay in her palm, cold and heavy, as if it carried every memory she desperately wished she could erase.
