Chapter 1573 Rejection
‘‘I refuse to take on this mission,’‘ Lorraine said grimly.
She knew her own life would be at risk if she continued to take the job. After all, it had not been easy for her to leave the godforsaken place in the first place. Hence, she refused to fall down the same path because of a mission.
‘‘You refuse to take the mission?’‘ A cold cackle rang from the other end of the phone. ‘‘You’d better think this through. I don’t think you have what it takes to compensate for breaching the contract, Lorraine. Ah, I suppose I should call you Lorraine Steinar now.’‘
Lorraine’s face darkened. She had forgotten the fact that she signed a contract.
The man was right. She could not bear the consequences of breaching the contract.
Her name, Lorraine, meant ‘‘famous army.’‘ This meant that her parents had wished for her to have the strength to weather through her journey in life, and they were spot on. Lorraine had experienced a multitude of hardships in her life since young as she was abducted by human traffickers to the organization. She had only made a name for herself by being ruthless in her ways.
‘‘So, are you going to take the job or not?’‘ the man asked nonchalantly.
Lorraine gritted her teeth. Breaching the contract will cost me one billion. How am I going to raise that amount of money?
‘‘Yes!’‘ Lorraine almost spat the word out of her mouth and hung up the call immediately.
She felt indignant about having to head back to Turlen when she tried so hard to escape that hellhole. However, she had to walk her talk and fulfill her contract. After all, it was what she should do as a mercenary. Most importantly, she did not have the money to breach the contract.
She stared at the view outside the window for a full minute before she started packing her clothes. This time, she planned to go alone. If the partner assigned to her was a newbie, that person would be a huge liability to her instead.
She called a cab to the port and exchanged a few words with the person in charge. Then, she passed an ATM card to the man before walking onto the ship. It was her second time stealing into the country. Hence, she was already familiar with the procedure.
Lorraine picked out a seat and sat down as she waited quietly for the ship to set sail for Turlen.
She gritted her teeth as she looked around the dark surrounding, and she swore that it would be her last mission in Turlen. After all, she had just abducted a general’s daughter. She could be convicted with a death sentence.
Lorraine wondered if the general had issued a worldwide arrest order for her. If that were the case, it would make her mission all the more difficult.
Not only am I going to end up penniless, but my life is at stake as well!
Nonetheless, she had no other choice since she did not have the money to pay for the compensation for the breach of contract.
Meanwhile, Lawrence was looking at the surveillance camera footage. At the sight of a woman brazenly walking into their house and entering Sonia’s bedroom, he fumed with fury.
He immediately fired the person on duty that day as that person had let the woman enter their house without asking for more details. If I let the man off the hook just like that, he’ll probably let a murderer in next time.
After Lawrence was done dealing with everything, he made a copy of the footage and sent it to Harvey’s phone.
After watching the video, Harvey cast a glance at Sonia, speechless.
Sonia had not expected that the woman simply walked right into her house.
‘‘The security person on duty is going to get fired.’‘ Sonia’s decision coincided with Lawrence’s.
Even though she was innocent and kind, she was no fool.
It was an undeniable fact that the security personnel on duty was negligent. Luckily, the woman was only after her bag. Sonia shuddered to think if the intruder had wanted more. What if she wanted to take my life?
A chill ran down her spine right then. There’s no way I’m keeping such irresponsible security personnel around.
Harvey sent the screenshot of the woman who barged into the Wynter residence to the Jupiters’ residence. He then ordered to issue a worldwide search order for the woman.
Harrison eyed the picture that his grandson sent him with a puzzled look on his face. A moment later, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes glinted.
