Chapter 459
“Jeremy knew he wasn’t a match for the organization, so he decided to join them and use his own life to fight against the organization?”
“Who’s Jeremy’s superior? Are they just coasting along?”
Jeremy’s case was currently trending online. As soon as the video appeared, it quickly went viral across the internet. Those cheering for Jeremy’s death were left speechless after watching the video. At that moment, they felt chills running down their spine.
Nolan and Stephen had also watched the newly uploaded video. They were both stunned.
Nolan did not expect Jeremy to still have a backup plan. He had already anticipated his own death, or rather, he had been walking toward it from the very beginning. He wanted to take them both down together!
Jeremy’s video had captured Rory, and if people investigated and followed the clues, they would surely discover that Nolan was Rory’s backer! Nolan trembled in fear, his hair standing on end, and cold sweat ran down his face. This trump card completely caught Nolan off guard. Moreover, there was no way to guard against it!
Stephen looked utterly confused. The video was not long, but it revealed too much information. First, Jeremy was not the bad guy, and he did not betray Stephen. He was just trying to gather evidence. Second, the real enemy was in Hill City, and they had an even stronger backer. Third, the identity of the other party in the transaction had been exposed, so Stephen could now capture and interrogate him.
“How can this be?” Stephen could not believe the truth. Jeremy did not betray him. Moreover, for the sake of Stephen’s reputation, Jeremy did not mention him at all. He only referred to Stephen as his superior.
Stephen thought about how Jeremy had rushed to meet him that day even though his mother had just passed away. Moreover, he did not even say anything about it, as if nothing had happened.
Then, Stephen thought of how Jeremy died. Jeremy had been tied to a bed, and after being injected with the drug, his body had trembled violently. Throughout the whole process, he did not make a sound and kept staring at Stephen.
Stephen thought his eyes were filled with anger and hatred, but now that he thought about it, they were actually filled with regret, sadness, and disappointment.

Chapter 450
Jeremy had sacrificed himself to get the evidence, but Stephen had just tossed it into the river and even sentenced him to death.
Stephen stumbled backward and collapsed onto the couch in despair. “That’s impossible.”
Because of his distrust, Jeremy was dead. Previously, Snow had also been hurt by his lack of trust, and the former mayor had died in his arms for the same reason. This time, Jeremy died right in front of him, and Stephen was the one who sent him to his death!
Stephen’s whole body trembled, and his face was as pale as a sheet.
On the other hand, Nolan quickly contacted Rory, urging him to escape beyond the borders. If he could not escape, he had to commit suicide. No one must catch Rory! This was the only idea Nolan could think of now.
Stephen’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Simon calling.
“Did you really kill Jeremy?” Simon asked anxiously.
“Yes, I personally watched him die,” Stephen answered, once again recalling how Jeremy had looked at him before he died.
“What a pity.” Simon sighed. “If he hadn’t died, you bringing Jeremy into Hill City would’ve been a brilliant move, not a mistake. It’s really a pity! But you can still get some credit for this. Find out who is the superior who did not trust him back then. People who are just coasting along like that don’t deserve to stay.”
Stephen remained silent for a while. Even though they were only on a phone call, Simon could tell something was wrong.
“That couldn’t have been you, right?”
“It was me,” Stephen said, his voice trembling.
Simon also fell into silence, his head spinning. Since it turned out to be Stephen, things were much more complicated.
Stephen had brought Jeremy into Hill City, but his distrust led to the death of“ Jeremy’s companion. Left with no other choice, Jeremy had sacrificed himself and went undercover.
