Chapter 460: Alone
The world was taken by surprise by Carla’s end.
"She really became infamous, even in death," Sanya said quietly, letting out a deep sigh.
No one had expected it to unfold the way it did. But Clifford made sure that Carla’s final moments were seen by everyone. The videos, captured in real time from the hidden cameras implanted on the decoys who impersonated Rain and Sanya, were broadcasted across every platform around the world.
Rain sat in silence, her fingers curled tightly around a cup of untouched tea. "I feel bad for those two women," she murmured. "They took our."
"Don’t be," Sanya replied gently. "William told me he warned them clearly about how dangerous the mission was. He said they knew the risks. They volunteered anyway."
She paused, her voice lowering. "Still... no one thought Carla would snap that fast, just kill them like that before the rescue team even got in."
Rain’s chest tightened, the weight of it all sitting heavily on her shoulders. "They died to protect us."
Sanya nodded solemnly. "They were brave."
A long silence followed before Sanya finally spoke again. "It was Alexander’s plan all along, wasn’t it?"
"Yes," Rain confirmed. "Feeding Tim information, letting them think they had the upper hand, it was all part of the plan. Lure them into making a move, expose Carla for who she really was, and capture Tim in the process. Hitting two birds with one stone."
Rain stared out the window, her reflection blurred against the glass. "That’s why everything was recorded. Every word she said. Every violent act. They wanted the truth out there. No more hiding behind lies."
