Chapter 384

"Miss, I wouldn't dare lie anymore! I truly don't know anything else. The person who contacted me was Mr. Falas. He said someone asked him to have me do something and offered a high price, so I agreed," Baldy spoke honestly. "After that, I received information from Mr. Falas, came to Khogend, and prepared to assassinate you…"

Felicia lightly tapped her fingers, remaining silent.

The female mercenary kicked Baldy and coldly said, "You're still hiding something. Speak up!" They needed to resolve this quickly to claim the five-billion-dollar reward. But he truly didn't know anything else. "That's all I know! I swear I'm not lying. I wouldn't dare hide anything!"

Felicia believed him. Since Mr. Falas contacted him, this was a solid lead. This clue would simplify the investigation.

She turned, pulled back the curtain, and looked at Maurice, who was also lying in the bed, coldly saying, "Stop pretending. I know you're awake."

He chuckled and opened his eyes. His dark eyes were full of life, showing no sign of having just woken. "You found me out. How boring."

He shifted, gasping in pain. Damn it! Under the influence of the twin venomous creatures, he was far more injured than Felicia.

She immediately asked, "Who is this Mr. Falas, and who is he working for? Tell me." Although her facial expression didn't change, the suppressed killing intent in her voice was heavy and intense. She sought revenge for her friend. It would be wise not to provoke her or play games; if she lost control, she was terrifying. But Maurice wasn't an average person.

He clicked his tongue. "Is this how you ask for my help?"

Felicia gave him two punches, one from each side! "This is how I ask!" She grabbed him by the collar, her eyes bloodshot. She might have dragged him down with her if not for a shred of remaining self-control. If not for him, she wouldn't have needed the twin venomous creatures for protection! If not for the twin venomous creatures, she wouldn't have faced such an assassination attempt, an attempt that cost Carmen her life.

Seeing this, the four loyal Glover family subordinates moved to pull her away, but she shouted, "Get lost!" Her body was filled with murderous intent. No one dared approach.

She gripped Maurice's collar and spoke slowly. "You leaked the information about the twin venomous creatures, didn't you? You know who your enemies are, and you're happy to see me become your scapegoat. You think this is fun, don't you?"

Maurice remained silent. Even with two punches landed and blood dripping from his mouth, he didn't get angry. He even ordered his subordinates not to intervene. He sensed her intense emotional turmoil—sorrow, a suppressed emotion, a confusion of blame and hate, culminating in her shouldering all the guilt. Beneath her calm exterior, her broken soul repeatedly asked, "How do I pay back Carmen's sacrifice?"

Maurice sighed, reached up, and gently wiped the coldness from the corner of Felicia's eye with his clean fingertip. "I'll give you an answer."
