NovelEnglishChapter 262 In the mountains, the two special forces assigned to watch over Eric and the other three kidnappers had just received their orders and hadn't even started their interrogation.
However, Brian cracked when he heard that they were being taken deep into the mountains.
"I'll cclean! I'll tell you everything. Amelia from the Gaskell family hired us. I was just doing it for money "I know I was wrong, and I'll never do it again. Please, don't takeinto the mountains. I have a family to look after." "Mtoo! Ms. Gaskell was the one who ordered us. She even had us imprison a mother and daughter for over a month before.

After all, Amelia did seem to have a deep hatred for Hera.
Recalling Queenie's previous instructions, Eric saw that his men had already implicated Amelia, so he followed the lead and confirmed her guilt.
He angrily kicked each of them.
"Cowards! How dare you guys betray our employer? Don't expect to get a single cent of the money!" "Eric, I was wrong. I don't want the money. I just want to go home." The four kidnappers started arguing among themselves while the two special forces exchanged glances, finding their story believable.
After gathering enough information, the special forces swiftly knocked each of the kidnappers out with a quick chop to the neck.

The moment she saw him, all the pain and fear she had bottled up flopglbreakingburst out like a flop breaking out through a dam. Tears tilled her eyes, and she sat up abruptly, throwing herself into his arms. Bernard was caught off guard but soon felt the warm witness soaking through where her face was buried against him. His heart softened instantly.
It struck him then that despite Hera's cool, aloof demeanor, she was just and was i 17. Her independence and decisiveness often made people forget how young she was.
Usually, young people her age still sought comfort in their parents' arms. Yet, she had performed m high-risk surgeries, outbid him for the Eclipse Stone at an auction, received alfers from top international universities, and created life-saving medicines. Her ability was impressive but heartbreaking.
