Chapter 946



.

Queenie had a tragic and heroic look about her.

She had led a turbulent life, and life in the mysterious organization had been no better than death.

If she hadn’t been taken away by Yvette, she would still be struggling in that hellhole.

She thought about how Yvette had introduced her to everyone at NTT after releasing her from the mysterious organization. How he had given her a new identity and treated her so well.

He had taken her wine making and cooking….

Yvette had even laughed once and said, “In the future, you can make this pasta dish for my daughter and tell her that this is what mommy’s love tastes like.”

At the time she had been joking.

Queenie replied, “Can’t you make it yourself?”.

“I’d still be recovering after giving birth, how am I supposed to cook?” replied Yvette confidently.

Yvette was like the sun, always exerting a positive influence on the people around her and putting everyone at ease.

But such a Yvette was gradually making Queenie uneasy.

After all, she was a spy for the mysterious organization!

Yvette had clearly taken her out of the mysterious organization. She was not to treat her so well.

The young woman felt terribly uneasy for a long time. At last, she could not help but come to her and confess her identity.

What Queenie thought at that moment was, ‘When he realizes that I am not a good person, will he throw me out?’

She mentally prepared herself to be taken back to the mysterious organization.

But, unexpectedly, Yvette smiled and replied, ‘I’m aware of that!’

Queenie was stunned.

Yvette patted her on the head. “I’ve known it for a long time. But why are you putting so much thought into it? It wasn’t easy for you to escape from that place. Do what makes you happy.”

Queenie asked in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you? Even now, I still don’t know what mission the mysterious organization has planned for me. All I know is that they want me to stay by your side.”

Yvette laughed even harder. “That’s why I say the mysterious organization doesn’t understand anything. People develop feelings for each other based on spending time. Besides, if you weren’t threatened by them, would you have been able to escape? It’s okay; if there comes a day when you decide to betray me, at least our many years of friendship would still be real.”

It was a pity that, at the time, Yvette thought he still had many years to spend with her.

Until one day, a troubled Yvette approached her to say goodbye. “I wanted to spend another few years with you to bring us even closer, but that is no longer possible. I’m going back to the States.”

At that point, Queenie had replied without hesitation, “I’ll come back to America with you.”

“No, you stay here. NTT needs you more.”

Yvette smiled and added, “It’s too dangerous in America.”

At that moment, she didn’t know that Yvette was going back to America to hide from the mysterious organization… only if Yvette returned to America, set everything up successfully, and prevented the mysterious organization from getting what it wanted, would Queenie and Nora have a chance to survive.

Only then would it give NTT a chance to grow and develop.

And only then would they be able to grow safely.

Yvette had used her life to save everyone.

Queenie only spent half a year with her.

A year later, she finally got a call from Yvette. “Hey, girl, I’ve given birth to a daughter.”

Queenie was stunned.

Yvette then told her, “I told her that she has an aunt who lives overseas. You have to help me take care of her, okay?”.

Yvette had spoken in a very relaxed tone, so it hadn’t occurred to Queenie at all that she might die soon. She merely smiled sweetly and said, “Sure, Yvette. When are you coming back?”

“Come back?”

Yvette laughed softly and said, “Child, I can’t go back anymore. I’m leaving you my daughter.”

Queenie had been stunned then. At last she understood that Yvette was calling her to confide in her soon-to-be orphaned daughter. She cried, “Come back here, Yvette! Come back here at once! We can face everything together! If… if you dare to let anything happen to you, I’ll hand your daughter over to the mysterious organization!”

“So you’ve learned how to threaten people, huh? It’s a pity you can’t threaten me anymore. Child, I’ve never regretted meeting you. Go your own way from now on.”

After saying that, before hanging up the phone, Yvette added softly, “Be happy!” She had led a very happy life. Every single day she had spent alive for the past twenty-some years had been a bonus.

She should have died in the mysterious organization a long time ago…. It was Yvette who had pointed her out when they were in the mysterious organization back then and said, “I like this girl very much. She is very much to my taste. Give her to me, I’ll make her my little sister.”

Only then did the mysterious organization let her go. So how could he betray Yvette?

‘Yvette, I’ll come to see you soon’ Queenie said to herself. She closed her eyes and waited quietly for the bomb to explode. But…

There was total silence in the air.

There was only the sound of Barbarian and Trueman hitting the ground after they both fled. Queenie was confused.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and saw that everyone around her had scattered and fled in all directions. Some even dropped to the ground and held their heads.

But… the bombs above her didn’t go off.

Queenie: “?????”

All: “!!!!”

Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. No one knew what was going on and everyone was looking at Queenie.

Queenie touched the bombs on her body again.

She frowned, why didn’t they explode?

Were they useless?

Surely she wasn’t that unlucky, was she?

He’d even bought the most advanced bombs on the market, so how could they be fakes?

Queenie hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered that when she had taken Nora to the pasta restaurant earlier that day, Nora kept circling around her while she was making the pasta.

She had said she was helping her cook, but she hadn’t actually done anything.

Suddenly, Queenie turned to look at Nora. Her voice trembled as she asked, “Was that you?”

“Yes.”

Five minutes had passed.

Nora was able to move again. She moved her numb arms and legs and then looked at Queenie. Her eyes were a little red as she said, “I disassembled all the bombs.”

Queenie: “…”

No wonder!

No wonder he had gone after her and said he wanted to join her in the final stretch of her life even after he knew he had betrayed her!

Turns out he had figured out her plans.

He asked her, “When did you realize?”.

Nora replied, “You’ve always been vain and liked to wear red. When I saw you in an all-black outfit this time, it struck me as odd right away. Since you were about to die, I’m sure you would dress very nicely. Also, you looked like you had… gained weight.”

Queenie: “?”

She had been wearing loose red clothes all the time before just to keep people from seeing what her figure looked like. She had also been drinking only a little wine each day and had skipped meals just to shave a few more inches off her waist.

This time, with the pumps strapped to her body and the black clothes, her figure had stood out even more. Not only did she not look bloated, but her figure even looked correct.

Nora only suspected that she had attached the pumps to herself because she felt she had gained weight….

The corners of Queenie’s lips spasmed.

Nora was about to speak again when Trueman and Barbarian, off to the side, realized they had been tricked. The two immediately stood up in fury.

Trueman pointed at them. “Nora Smith, you two must be wishing to die!”

“Wishing to die?” Nora rushed over to Queenie to keep the people around her, who had thrown themselves to the ground, from rushing over to hit her.

She looked at Trueman. “This is all you had as a trump card?”

Trueman was taken aback. “What?”

Nora lowered her eyes and the corners of her lips curved slightly upward. Her smile was cocky and cheeky as she declared, “Since you’ve shown me your trump card, it’s time for me to show you mine too. None of you are getting off the hook today.”
