Jordan didn't answer. After a long period of silence, he abruptly said in a low voice, "Sawyer is dead."

My hand that was holding the remote paused. My heart felt as though it was gripped by something and violently squeezed.

Then, it began to beat fast, so fast that I felt dizzy for a moment.

Was I hallucinating?

I stood stock- still for more than ten seconds. Then, I turned hesitantly to look at his calm face and said, "This joke is not funny at all."

He said that as long as I didn't cry, Sawyer's life would be spared.

Although Jordan was not a good person, he had always kept his promises to me.

I guessed that this was just his way of forcing me to speak with him to break the ice.

However, Jordan frowned and there was an apologetic look in his eyes. He looked at me with self-blame and did not refute.

But he should refute.

He should tell me that this was just a prank to

scare me.

I began to panic. I swallowed my saliva nervously, and my expression was grave, "You killed him?"

"It wasn't me," Jordan answered quickly as if he was trying his best to prove his innocence, "He killed himself. He jumped down from the building where his mother committed suicide without hesitation."

I stopped breathing, my chest hurt so much that I almost couldn't open my eyes.

I distinctly felt a gush of blood rushing to my head. The scent of blood filled my entire nasal cavity.

Without warning, I began to vomit violently while holding the sofa for support. I was a total mess.

I didn't stop until there was nothing left in my stomach.

Jordan tried to comfort me several times, but I pushed him away. At this point, he was like a child who had done something wrong as he stood aside helplessly, stuck in a dilemma. Sawyer had said that he would live for the sake of his child.

I determined that Jordan was the instigator. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hands, pointed a finger at him, and said lifelessly, "It's you! Your men pushed him down! You murderer! I'll never forgive you! I won't let you go even if I'm dead! I'll chop you into pieces and kill you myself! For Sawyer and Raiya's sakes!"

With that, I threw all caution to the wind and rushed towards him.

I choked him with all my strength.

Jordan didn't even dodge. He allowed me to choke him until his face turned red and his neck went stiff. His body showed signs of resistance, and yet he didn't move. There was even a smile on his lips, as though he had been looking forward to this for a long time.

He wanted to die in my hands.

But I knew that I shouldn't. Hendrix was still in that organization. As long as we haven't destroyed it, there would be another person to replace Jordan if he died. If that's the case, neither Hendrix who was a spy nor I who killed Jordan would be at

peace.

I gritted my teeth and tried my best to suppress my urge to kill him. After a long while, I finally released him and fell onto the sofa.

"You can't bear to see me die?"

Jordan kept coughing for a bit. He

had just recovered, but he was persistent in replaceing out my thoughts. He smiled bitterly and said, "You finally feel sorry for me..."
