Chapter 1096 Clearing Her Name

Artemis's analysis was accurate, but for Sylvester, it felt like a death sentence.

Have I unknowingly hurt her so much because my involvement in the situation has clouded my

judgment?

When Artemis compared him to Micah and Justin, it only made him feel more hopeless.

In truth, Micah injured Shannon to save her life and protect her from punishment by the higher-ups of

Tarragon.

Similarly, Justin hurt Veronique to protect her from the revenge of the legitimate daughter of the

Fletcher family.

But what about me? What was my reason for hurting Rainie?

Upon careful reflection, he realized that it was simply because she had betrayed him. He had sent her

to the nightclub to vent his anger.

He hurt her solely as a means of releasing his frustrations, nothing more.

“Am I truly unforgivable?”

Artemis listened to Sylvester's murmurs, sensing deep pain and helplessness in his tone.

After a few moments of silence, Sylvester composed himself and explained, “What you've done is not

yet unforgivable. However, if it turns out that someone with ill intentions orchestrated everything that

happened to Rainie, then your actions towards her would truly be irredeemable.”

Sylvester caught his breath, his voice trembling as he asked, “What... What do you mean by that?”

“It means exactly what you think. Any sane woman would choose you over Mason, especially Rainie,

who already has feelings for you. Sylvester, do you really think Rainie would abandon you, the heir of

the Hollett family, for someone from a branch family? If she were a gold digger, wouldn't marrying you

be a better choice? You might not be able to see the full picture because you're in the middle of the

situation, but that's no excuse for being blind. Think carefully. Perhaps this has been a conspiracy from

the very beginning. Regardless of whether you can win back Rainie's heart in the end, you should

uncover the truth and seek justice for her. This is what you should do as a man, understand?”

Sylvester remained silent for a long time.

No one knew what he was thinking or what emotional changes he was going through.

Once he had completely calmed down, he no longer blindly trusted Karina.

“Alright, I trust your judgment. I'm not the type of person who's afraid to admit a mistake. If it turns out

that I've falsely accused Rainie because of the Hollett family, I will make it right by her.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately ended the call.

Artemis listened to the dial tone in the handset, a faint smile curling his thin lips.

Sylvester has moved past his stage of frustration, gradually emerging from disappointment. A man with

a high IQ usually won't mess up that badly. Hopefully, he can uncover the truth. If he can't figure it out

and ultimately blames Rainie, it only proves that he and Rainie are not meant to be. At that point, no

one will be able to help him.

“Mr. Luther, everything is ready. Shall we depart now?”

The sound of Ken reporting from the entrance snapped Artemis back from his wandering thoughts.

He slowly rose to his feet and strolled out of the study.

As soon as he descended the stairs, he saw Rebecca, fully suited up and ready, standing in the living

room.

She was dressed in custom-made military fatigues and wearing a military cap, looking dashing and

exuding confidence.

She and Bailey were two completely different types of women. Bailey had multiple identities and was

pursued by countless people, yet remained aloof and indifferent, as if she didn't care about any of it.

In contrast, Rebecca was charming, flamboyant, and full of vitality. Her cheerful personality and vibrant

charisma made it impossible to ignore her.

“What are you doing here? Didn't I arrange a place for you to stay? It's dark now, you should return to

your mansion.”

Rebecca curled her red lips, casting a flirtatious glance his way.

If it were any other man, he would be enchanted by her and eager to take her right then and there.

However, Artemis was the recipient of her advances, which resulted in a different outcome.

He had experienced her passionate and unrestrained advances three years ago. If he were truly

captivated by her, he would have fallen for her long ago. There was no reason for him to wait until now.

“Artemis, you're planning to sneak out, aren't you? That's not cool, you know. We agreed to act

together. It would be wrong for you to leave me behind.”

Artemis' face darkened, his features tensing up.

He wished to stay as far away from her as possible, fearing that rumors might arise and lead to

misunderstandings with Bailey.

Even though he wasn't a saint, he was unwaveringly loyal when it came to love. He would never do

anything to betray Bailey.

“Rebecca, you've already entrusted this task to me, so don't interfere with my mission. Take your

people and leave Zaewora to carry out other tasks. Do not involve yourself in the dispute between me

and Black Puma any further.”

Rebecca shook her head with a smile. “I'm afraid not. You're a common citizen now, and it's my duty to

ensure your safety. Don't worry, I won't interfere with your mission. I'll just stay by your side, ready to

support you whenever necessary.”

Faced with her firm attitude, Artemis no longer wasted his words and strode outside.

Rebecca followed along with a giggly smile.

“According to the intelligence from Interpol, Faceless isn't here to meet Black Puma, but to exchange

the hostage in his hands. I know that your primary objective in coming here is to rescue the hostage, so

tonight's operation is crucial. Although I may not be of much help, I can still provide cover when it

matters most. If you want to successfully rescue the hostage, don't underestimate me.”

Artemis snorted coldly, mocking, “I can see that Interpol is well-informed, they even managed to find

out about this. Fine then, after all, eliminating Black Puma's organization is a top priority for Interpol. If

you want to send reinforcements to assist me, why should I refuse?”

Rebecca blinked her eyes and gave a charming smile. “That's more like it. Men and women working

together make the job less tiring. I actually miss those days when we pretended to be a couple. We

worked perfectly together, the best fit for each other.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Artemis was dumbfounded.

Rebecca observed as he walked away, the light in her eyes shining with increasing intensity.

Even after three years had passed and he was no longer her boss, she still held a deep admiration for

him.

This man is much more remarkable and influential than the world realizes.

During his time in office, she didn't dare entertain any inappropriate thoughts, believing that desiring

him would be sacrilegious.

The fact that he was no longer in his former position only emboldened her. She vowed to herself that

she would do everything in her power to win his affection, even if it was only for a fleeting moment.

That alone would be enough to satisfy her.

Meanwhile, at Xemrich, Faceless had arranged for a significant number of people to block the main

road, intending to divert Artemis' men.

When Artemis and Rebecca arrived at the winery, most of the subordinates they had brought with them

had scattered.

In the cover of night, the two of them stood side by side amidst the shrubbery lining the boulevard.

Artemis held a pair of binoculars, gazing at the entrance of a nearby winery.

Rebecca spoke up. "Our movements were too conspicuous. We have already alerted Black Puma. He

has sent many people to intercept us along the way. Doesn't this prove that he and the Faceless are at

the winery?"

Artemis narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly analyzing the situation.

Rebecca asked again, "Should we go in and find out?"
