Chapter 457
Nolan debated if he should kill Jeremy now. However, he had come in a rush, so he did not bring any weapons. Moreover, he had no way to explain himself if he were to kill Jeremy. Others would only think that he was committing murder on purpose. Nolan watched as Jeremy took out a small camera, panic rising inside him. What should he do now?
Jeremy held his arms high while holding the camera, slowly walking until he was only five meters away from Stephen. Then, he set it down to the ground, stepped back, and squatted with his hands on his head.
Once they confirmed Jeremy was no longer a threat, several people went to restrain him. One of them then stepped forward to bring the camera to Stephen.
“Evidence of your transaction with Nolan?” Stephen said with a cold smile.
Nolan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The threatening evidence was right in Stephen’s hands, but how could he destroy it? It was over! Just as he was considering just driving away and escaping…
“Do you think that I’ll believe you?”
Crack!
Stephen destroyed the camera and threw it into the rushing river. At that moment, Nolan, who was ready to flee, stopped in his tracks while Jeremy looked at Stephen in disbelief.
“Do you
think I’m a fool?” Stephen’s tone was chilling cold. Jeremy had betrayed him and was still trying to frame Nolan even when he had been caught. Fortunately, his father was farsighted enough to warn him to not believe Jeremy’s words.
Nolan fell into silence. He thought he was doomed, so he did not expect Stephen to help him to turn the situation around. He managed to escape disaster!
Jeremy was rendered speechless. He was utterly disappointed in Stephen. Fabian had died for Hill City, but Jeremy decided to sacrifice himself and help Stephen one last time. He had spent great effort to obtain the evidence and even handed it over to Stephen, but in the end, Stephen chose to destroy it. At that moment, Jeremy felt utterly drained.
Stephen stared at Jeremy. He really wanted to kill Jeremy, but since he had taken the initiative to surrender, he could not bear to make the move. Stephen had no choice but to order his men to take Jeremy back for interrogation, hoping he would reveal
the person who received the goods.
During the interrogation, Jeremy only had one response. “Nolan was the one who made the deal with me.” No matter what they asked, Jeremy kept saying the same thing
Stephen did not believe him at all, so Jeremy finally gave up and said, “I don’t know who received the goods.” He no longer said anything else. He had done what he could, so what else could he do if Stephen did not believe him?
Stephen saw that Jeremy refused to speak. The reporters outside kept rushing for an interview with Jeremy while Simon and Nolan both suggested he kill Jeremy, so Stephen finally approved Jeremy’s death sentence in the evening. Due to the severity of his crimes, the execution would be carried out that same day.
Stephen could not let the reporters interview Jeremy. If Jeremy revealed that Stephen was the one who brought him to Hill City, Stephen would be in great trouble. Jeremy had to be dead as soon as possible!
At 9 p.m., Jeremy was pushed into the room for a lethal injection. He was then brought out with a white cloth covering him half an hour later.
Stephen had stood aside to watch the whole process closely. He was worried that Jeremy would suddenly shout and cause a scene. However, Jeremy had stayed silent the entire time. Stephen watched as he trembled violently on the bed, but his movements eventually ceased until he was finally dead.
Once Jeremy’s body was taken away, Stephen took out his phone to report the news to Simon.
“Jeremy is dead, and he did not say anything before his death.”
Simon nodded. “You’ve done well this time. Get ready for the interview. You’ve stopped a deal with a foreign force, so you’re a hero now.”
“Mm–hmm.” Stephen finally relaxed, the tension he had been carrying easing away. He then called Blake, their previous class representative. “Inform Jeremy’s mother to collect his body.”
When Blake went to find Jeremy’s mother, only to receive news that her surgery had failed and she had already passed away. Upon hearing this, Blake was stunned for a
moment.
After a moment, Blake picked up his phone and informed Stephen about the news. Jeremy’s mother… died on the operating table that day. He rushed to meet you after

As the words fell, Stephen stood frozen in pl
