With everyone watching, Ewan said, “We suspect that this man, Mick Jensen, has accepted bribes.

It was clear that Mick was the only one who'd gotten paid that much to riot. But whatever it was, their little alliance was done with.

| thought | was smart enough to think of something like this, but something felt off to me. Was | really protecting and helping Steven?

If truth be told, his flattery... made a chill run down my spine.
“Uh... you didn’t tell Steve about this, did you? | don’t want him to worry. I'm fine, after all.” “Mr. Lincoln doesn’t know about this.

He looked happy and excited, and he acted like he was totally dependent on me. You were the one who thought of the idea to get rid of those people. You're so smart! | felt diffident, but | didn’t know exactly why. “From now on, remember to letknow beforehand if you're facing any trouble.” The sense of protectiveness that surged inboosted my confidence.
