Chapter 1762: Good work, and goodbye.
Shawn’s original mission was simple: create a new identity in Anteca. And when the time came, he was to infiltrate the Pierson Corporation.
His initial target was Dean Pierson’s department. Close to Zoren Pierson, but far enough not to get his attention.
Until then, Shawn was instructed to live independently and support himself. This way, even if someone checked, they wouldn’t track any anomaly. At least, not on the first try. That’s why he worked a normal job in the big city, always sticking to the same cover story about having a family in the province—a complete lie.
And just like that, he lived in Anteca without raising any suspicion.
But then, the plan changed.
Instead of applying to the Pierson Corporation, Shawn was ordered to infiltrate the Prime Group. And just like when he was told to move to Anteca and start fresh, he followed the order without question.
And then... he saw her.
Penelope Bennet.
She was leaning against the wall in that interview room. Her presence wasn’t loud, but it was impossible to ignore. It didn’t seem like she wanted to be there—more like she was forced into it.
She didn’t say a word, but something about her made Shawn’s gut twist. He had been in Anteca long enough to trust his instincts, and his gut told him to fail this.
He didn’t know why at the time... but he tried to fail.
Unfortunately, Patricia Miller had other plans. She dragged him right back into the spotlight, bragging about things she absolutely shouldn’t have.
