Chapter 447
“No?” Several men walked up to the bus. “Last night, he asked you to take him away, but you refused. Nolan Spencer killed him.‘
Jeremy’s eyes widened at the words.
“That can’t be!” He shook his head. How could Nolan have killed someone? He was the mayor. He was a good person!
“Why didn’t you save my brother?” The girl stood by the side. “If you had just nodded back then, he could’ve left safely. Was everything he did for Hill City not even worth a nod from you?”
In order to take down the Spencer Group, Fabian had infiltrated the company by himself and thought of ways to find information every day. He even saved Jeremy once at the archive. Later, he risked his life to lead Jeremy to Nolan’s house to steal the document.
Someone else said, “He told us about you before, saying that he felt that you two were similar. You both wanted Hill City to become better.”
Jeremy opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Memories of his actions with Fabian flashed in his mind. Finally, the image froze at the scene of Fabian staring at him in despair as he left with Stephen.
The body covered by the white sheet in front of him was superimposed with the image of his mother’s corpse, and Jeremy could not hold back anymore.
“I… I didn’t know.” His eyes reddened, his expression filled with pain.
When the South Regent insisted that something was wrong with the Spencers, Stephen had said that the South Regent was lying. Now, someone else was telling him that Fabian had always been helping him and that Nolan had tricked him.
“I can’t tell. I don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong. I can’t do anything. I can’t do anything.”
The girl took out her phone and slowly played Fabian’s recording.
“Ginny, I’m doing well in Hill City, so don’t worry about me. I met someone interesting today. We share the same goals, so he reminds me a bit of myself. I used to fear that I’d be killed if I were discovered, but I’m not as scared now. That’s because I know that even if I die, he’ll still be around, so our efforts won’t be in vain. I just wonder if we’ll have the chance to meet Lord Rivers if we really manage to stop the Spencers‘ scheme. If we do get the chance, I’ll be sure to get you an autograph. Haha!”
As soon as the recording ended…
Bang!

+25 BORUS
Jeremy heard a gunshot.
His heart ached. At that moment, he sensed the despair that Fabian felt in his final moments. Fabian had trusted him, but in the end, he was not even willing to nod to save him.
Jeremy felt like every word Fabian said was a bullet piercing his heart, some even hitting his soul.
When his mother died, he was powerless and could not do anything.
What about when Fabian died? He had the power! If he had nodded, Stephen would have taken Fabian with them.
Jeremy knelt on the ground. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I never thought it’d end up like this.”
The onlookers all fell silent. They all knew that Jeremy did not mean for this to happen. Furthermore, Fabian had already been prepared to sacrifice himself. They simply sighed helplessly.
“Get out,” the girl said. “I’ll pretend my brother never met you.”
Jeremy felt even more pain hearing this.
Letting him get off the bus meant that they did not blame him. However, even if they did not blame him, how could he forgive himself?
How did Fabian die? It was because of him! Fabian would not have died if he had trusted him from the start.
“Please beat me up.” Jeremy choked.
The girl did not look at him again. “Get out.”
Someone stepped forward and pulled him out of the bus.
