Persephone's expression changed. She refrained from pressing for details, confident that Seamus would handle
everything. What puzzled her was the supposed loyalty of the individuals meticulously chosen by the Hamertons
and Thompsons.
Yet, there was a traitor among them, targeting her life!
Seamus said, gripping her arm, "Sephy, don't worry. I'll always protect you."

'a mole'?"
"This is our business." Seamus avoided disclosing too much. "Mr. Orton, it's better not to ask. But... Sephy might
need to trouble you for a while longer."
"Continue staying with me?"
"Yes." Seamus held his gaze.
At this point, he no longer harbored the initial distrust toward Morpheus. He sensed Morpheus genuinely cared for
Persephone, providing reassurance.
For now, he couldn't stay by Persephone's side. With the traitor identified, he had to handle it. This person had no
vendetta against the Hamertons—everything was orchestrated by someone else. He had to expose the mastermind
behind it.
Seamus looked at Morpheus again and said, "Apologies for the intrusion."
"Not an intrusion." After a long silence, Morpheus' tone turned cold. "But are you still not planning to tell me the
truth?"

Morpheus' chilly gaze locked onto Persephone's face as he asked, "Who are you, exactly?"
Persephone felt like she was stumbling into an abyss, her heart in turmoil.
Both were suspecting and probing each other, slapping labels based on their suspicions. Despite that, she could
clearly see a glimmer of something in his eyes that was meant only for her.
Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fists and then slowly released them. After a moment, she looked into his
eyes and asked in return, "And what about you?"
Morpheus was taken aback.
She continued. "Will you tell me the truth? Why can you freely enter and leave the police station, even exchange
words with the cops, and have them release Seamus and me?"
