Nathans expression remained icy cold as he spoke each word deliberately.
Lucinda is not like Nanette.
What sets them apart? Corys voice boomed.
Its because you love Lucinda that you cherish her.
Youd be sorry for her even with a minor injury.
But you didnt love Nanette; thats why you destroyed her love for you.
You murdered her! Nathan remained silent, meeting Corys gaze evenly.
Cory erupted in anger, shouting, I want you to kneel and apologize to Nanette! Will you kneel and bow or not? Nathan simply snorted and calmly spoke the truth.
I withheld the truth from you to spare you pain. I never anticipated you would sacrifice yourself in subsequent missions.
As for Nanette, Ive buried the truth for years.
Now, it seems theres no need to conceal it any longer⦠Nanette Anderson was a girl they had rescued from the border during a mission by chance.
She had been abducted, trafficked, and brought to the border.
Being an orphan with nowhere else to go, Nanette had tagged along with them after being rescued, despite the dangerous conditions at the border with its heat, snakes, and insects.
Nanette, five years younger than them, was lively and charming.
As a single man with no experience in love, Cory quickly fell in love with her outgoing personality.
However, at that time, Nanette didnt reciprocate Corys feelings.
Instead, she often displayed affection toward Nathan, even attempting to seduce him, which did not go unnoticed by Cory.
Despite Nanette not rejecting Corys kindness toward her, she still pursued Nathan.
Later, when Nathan rejected her advances, Nanette turned to Cory, speaking ill of Nathan and complaining about his indifference toward her.
As time passed, tensions grew between Cory and Nathan because of Nanette, gradually straining their relationship.
When Cory and Nathan had almost become strangers, Nanette finally accepted Corys love.
However, just as their first formal date was about to begin, Nathan made a shocking discovery: Nanette was a spy, sent by the leader of a notorious drug cartel.
All the stories about the abduction, the trafficking, and the orphan were fabricated.
Nanette was merely a spy and an undercover agent.
Her mission was to extract valuable information from the National Security Bureau and relay it to the drug dealer, ensuring the success of their illicit transactions.
After discovering Nanettes true identity, Nathan chose not to inform Cory. Fearing that Cory couldnt handle the truth, he decided to apprehend Nanette himself first.
However, the drug lord got wind of Nathans discovery even faster.
By the time Nathan uncovered Nanettes true identity, the drug lord had already dispatched someone to deal with her.
For a gang like theirs, Losing one or two members was inconsequential.
The paramount concern was ensuring that no information was leaked.
When Nathan arrived at the scene, he saw a gun aimed at Nanettes chest.
Before he could intervene, she was shot and killed right in front of him.
Initially, Nathan was ready to chase down the shooter, but at that moment, Cory arrived and saw Nanette lying in a pool of blood.
As she took her final breaths, her eyes remained locked on Nathan, filled with horror.
