The surgery failed, and Jeremy’s mother had died? Jeremy went to Stephen that very day? It had not even been a week since his mother died.
Stephen was stunned. The fact that Jeremy rushed to find him that day meant that Stephen was just as important to Jeremy. “Then, why did he betray me?” Stephen tried his best to recall if he had done anything wrong. However, he could not think of anything even after thinking through it carefully.
The scene of Jeremy giving him the camera and surrendering flashed through his mind, and a terrifying thought suddenly appeared. Jeremy had never betrayed him! He had just been helping Stephen gather evidence!
“That’s impossible. He must have betrayed me.” Stephen shook his head, pushing the thought aside.
At that moment, Nolan called. “Boss, you did well this time. Everyone’s gushing about you online.”
Stephen looked at the news online. He had only spent a few hours handling the matter and executed Jeremy immediately that day, so the netizens were all impressed by his efficiency.
“I can’t deny that Stephen did well this time.”
“Such efficiency! Let’s see if those foreign forces dare to mess with us again.”
“That’s satisfying. I bet Jeremy was absolutely desperate and crushed, regretting everything.”
“Jeremy got what he deserved!”
The entire internet erupted with cheers. Stephen could not help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He had made all the right moves.
Nolan said with a smile, “Boss, congratulations. Your sharp judgment, fair law enforcement, and swift actions have defended Riveria’s dignity and sent a clear warning to foreign forces. Now, everyone is on your side.”
Stephen was in a good mood. The unease he had felt earlier, suspecting that Jeremy might have been an undercover agent, was completely swept away. He was right! He had done everything right!
However, before he could enjoy his satisfaction, new information appeared online.

Chapter 458
This video was being shared by many people at once.
The video started with Jeremy sitting in front of the camera, then he slowly started to tell his story.
“Hello, I’m Jeremy Davis. By the time you see this video, I’ll probably be dead. The reason why I’m recording this is to apologize to everyone and explain why I’m doing all this.
“There is currently an organization in Hill City colluding with foreign forces. They’re involved in the trafficking of various illicit goods, threatening the stability of Hill City. In order to gather evidence of this organization’s criminal activities, one of my companions has already been killed.
“This organization has powerful backers, and since my superiors don’t trust me and can’t offer support, I had no choice but to join the foreign forces. I personally got involved in the transactions to gather evidence of the organization’s dealings with them.
“I couldn’t afford to provoke the backers of this organization, so once I got the evidence, I planned on spreading provocative messages online to draw attention and stir public focus.”
“If everyone is paying attention to this matter, no matter how powerful the organization’s backers are, they won’t be able to protect the ones involved.
“I know that doing this will lead to insults and even death, but I’m not afraid. What I fear is my companion’s death being in vain, and what scares me most is that justice won’t be served.
“Finally, I would like to apologize to everyone once again. I’m sorry for using you all. Please forgive me.” Once Jeremy finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply.
The next part of the video cut to another scene. It was Jeremy’s first time participating in a transaction. He completed a deal with Rory, one of Jeremy’s trusted subordinates.
Everyone was stunned as they watched the entire transaction unfold.
“Jeremy was a spy? He’s not the bad guy?”
“Ah? Everything was part of Jeremy’s plan?
“His superiors didn’t trust him, and his companion was killed, so Jeremy was left to face a mountain of enemies alone. How hopeless must that have felt?”
