Chapter 1062



.

However, Solo stayed where he was.

Suddenly, he said, “Is the device broken? I’m going to take a look at it.”

He glanced around the room before looking in the direction the sound was coming from. There he saw a black box. He walked over, opened the box and began to study the electrical wiring inside.

As he did so, he commented, “This is an old-fashioned version. They don’t install new ones like this anymore, so I’m sure it’s been tricked. Here, I’m going to upgrade the system.”

As he spoke, he set to work.

Brenda opened and then closed her mouth as she looked at him, hesitating whether or not to speak. As she was about to say something, Solo said, “To be honest, you don’t have to feel so guilty about it. It was me who caused his death. If someone has to make up for it, I should be the one to do it, not you. You really don’t have to… make up for it with the rest of your life.”

Brenda closed her mouth.

To be honest, she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. But when she’d gotten engaged to Solo, Marcus’s mother had walked up to her, looked her straight in the eye and asked, “Are you going to get engaged when my son has died for you?”

Because of that, she dared not say those words ever again.

He felt terribly guilty and horrible, which made him stop thinking about the matter altogether. He devoted himself to his work and used it to lull himself to sleep.

In reality, all of his missions had been very dangerous in recent years, and he had suffered serious injuries as a result. Sometimes, he even wondered if it would all end if he gave Marcus his life back.

But that was impossible…

She took a deep breath. At that moment, Nora grabbed her arm.

She said, “Come with me.”

Her words took Brenda by surprise.

She just paid no attention to them, but continued fixing the black box.

Brenda then left the villa with Nora.

This time, Justin did not follow them.

After getting Brenda into the passenger seat, Nora pulled out her phone and dialed Morris’ number.

Morris was quick to take the call.

His voice was calm and steady as he asked, “Is something wrong, Nora?”

“Can I go to the special department?”

Morris’ voice became a little deeper as he answered, “You’re always welcome here.”

Nora hung up.

Beside her, Brenda, who wanted to lighten the mood, commented, “Are you sure you should be flirting with another man in front of me, Nora? Aren’t you afraid Justin will get jealous?”

Nora didn’t answer him.

Her stern demeanor caused Brenda to abandon levity and she dared not joke any longer.

Soon they arrived at the special apartment.

Nora stopped the car, got out with Brenda and they entered through the main entrance.

Morris, who was in his office, stood by the window and watched them.

His secretary came in and asked, “It’s time to go, Captain Ford, aren’t you leaving?”

“No, I still have something to do,” Morris replied.

Surprised, the secretary asked, “Is there a case that requires our attention? Do you need my help? We…”

“No, that’s fine. You may go.”

“… Okay, then.”

The secretary didn’t know why Morris, who usually left on the dot, was working overtime today, but she was very relieved that she didn’t have to work overtime along with him.

Thus, they all left the office.

Nora went into the special department with Brenda. The latter had worked there for a while, so she knew everyone and got along well with them. After greeting them all, she finally asked, “Where are we going, Nora?”

As soon as he asked the question, Nora stopped in front of a door with Brenda. She looked at the door and then replied, “We’re here.”

She pushed the door open.

When Brenda could see the room clearly, she was stunned.
