The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1786

“Boss, Griffon is the leader of S. After Nick found out, instead of killing him, he sent people to hunt me down, which means he betrayed Erebus. Did you kill the traitor Nick?” nodded calmly. “I killed him.”

Hearing that 1-1 killed Nick, Tara was in a great mood. “You are indeed the boss.” After praising him, she stood up and walked to 1-1, placing her hands on his shoulders. “Boss, I have made such a big contribution to Erebus. Shouldn’t I be rewarded?” looked down and saw her hands resting on his shoulders. “What reward do you want?”

Completely unaware of the murderous intent in 1-1’s eyes, Tara leaned in close to 1-1’s ear. “Since 1-2 is dead, why not let me take his place and manage Erebus in his stead?”

“Alright, but…”

Seeing him agree, but with additional conditions, Tara became anxious. “But what?” 1-1 did not rush to answer, but grabbed Tara’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand. “Ms. Thorin, didn’t I say that operatives should not interfere with the life and death of players?”

Tara realized that 1-1 was blaming her for killing Taya without his consent and quickly explained, “Boss, I didn’t follow the rules. After the player left, I sent someone to kill her because Griffon manipulated the situation.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“He let Taya cheat and then let her leave. I thought that she was someone who should have died in Erebus, so I went after her.”

“Is that so?” Faced with Tara’s sophistry, 1-1 just chuckled.

This eerie smile, seen by Tara, was terrifying.

However, she thought that since she had exposed the leader of S, her achievements outweighed her mistakes, and 1-1 wouldn’t do anything to her, right?

Little did she know that as soon as this thought crossed her mind, 1-1 suddenly grabbed her by the neck and pressed her head firmly against the conference table.

“Without my consent, you indiscriminately killed innocent people. You are simply seeking death!”

1-1’s grip was strong, and within three seconds, Tara, who was pressed against the table, had turned purple and was convulsing.

Brooks, who was standing nearby, thought that 1-1 would praise them for doing well, but who would have thought that this would be the result.

He was so scared that he rushed over to try to save Tara from 1-1, but was pinned to the ground by the black–clothed men behind 1-1.

Unable to fight back, Brooks could only beg 1-1 for mercy. “Sir, please spare my daughter’s life, considering the contributions we have made to Erebus!”

They had indeed helped Erebus using the list of S members, but this was not a reason to boast.

So, without even looking at Brooks, 1-1 threatened to kill Tara.

“She’s not dead!” Brooks, who was forced to do so, suddenly shouted.

“Taya isn’t dead! I saved her! Spare my daughter!”

Brooks’s desperate cries reached 1-1’s ears, causing him to slowly release his grip. “Not dead?” Breaking free from the black–clothed men’s restraint, Brooks rushed over to hold Tara, who was barely breathing, pinching her philtrum while trembling as he spoke.

“She shouldn’t be dead. When I saved her, she was still breathing.

I just don’t know if someone came to save her after I left.”

In the end, Brooks couldn’t overcome his guilt and returned halfway through swimming.

He had no choice but to manipulate the video. He didn’t want Tara to be disappointed, and he didn’t want Taya to die, so he had to do it.

“Where is she now?”

“If she wasn’t saved, she should still be on the deserted island.” gave a look to the person beside him, and the black–clothed man immediately went to find someone. Tara, who was slowly regaining her strength on the ground, raised her bloodshot eyes and stared at Brooks. “Why didn’t you kill her?”

“I…”

Brooks didn’t know how to face Tara and was hesitant in his speech.

Seeing him like this, Tara grabbed Brooks’s collar and, in a fit of rage, shouted at him. “You know that Taya is the person I hate the most. Why didn’t you help me kill her? Why?”

“Because…”

“Because Taya is his daughter.”

Brooks’s unspoken words were answered by Carson, who was standing nearby. Brooks looked at Carson in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion, as if asking Carson how he knew.
