Chapter 560Carter and 013 simultaneously directed their gazes towards the man, displaying a hint of surprise. Yet,
the man’s countenance remained devoid of any emotion as he advanced a step, with the turbulent river
right beneath Renfrew’s feet.
Renfrew was completely unconscious; even if he was aware, he wouldn’t have a chance of survival in
the swift water.
“Perhaps this isn’t a wise idea,” Carter said, hesitation laced thick in his voice. “Renfrew is the child of
Rickard and Hesper. If he dies, it would be challenging to justify to both the Duvals and the Lanes.”
“What have I got to do with it?” the man responded casually, lifting his head. “Explaining is your
responsibility…” His voice trailed off.
“Big T?” 013 and Carter looked towards the man, who had suddenly stopped moving. They both had a
premonition of impending doom. As they turned around, they saw Hesper standing nearby, observing
them intently from across the riverbank.
Both sides were carrying lights, and the distance between them was close enough to make everything

Nathaniel gave a helpless smile as he cradled Renfrew in his arms. Carter and 013 retreated a few
steps, astounded by the spectacle that was unfolding before them—a conflict that rivaled the
magnitude of a century-long war.
“You’re quicker than I anticipated,” Nathaniel remarked.
The sound of the wind grew so loud that it was almost deafening. From shock to numbness, the
process for Hesper was much faster than she had imagined. She looked at Nathaniel on the other side
of the river, feeling like she had never truly known him before.Was he a friend who always looked out for her, a fiance she was forced to be with, or a liar?
“My people will arrive soon. You can’t do anything to me. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave either.”
Hesper took a few steps forward with a calm expression. “We can peacefully part ways tonight. Just
give Renfrew back to me.”
There was no need for them to say too much to each other. From this moment on, all the previous
emotions and trust would collapse in an instant. Including Nathaniel himself, from the moment Hesper
met him, she had been trapped in this massive deception.

stepped forward and carelessly tossed Renfrew to Carter, who held onto him tightly and nervously
watched the confrontation between Nathaniel and Hesper.
Nathaniel had kept his true identity hidden for years, never expecting to be exposed this way.
“But I still don’t understand why you came down so early.” Nathaniel pushed his glasses up. Gone was
the kind and gentle friend who Hesper used to know. “I want to know why. You’ve suspected me for a
long time… When did it start?”
Hesper’s laughter revealed a sense of amusement.
“Suspect you?” she repeated, realizing she should have seen the signs that pointed to Nathaniel’s
involvement all along.
Every incident that occurred seemed to be linked to Nathaniel’s presence. Why did he always happen
to show up in Genecity whenever she was in trouble? Why did Julian warn her to be cautious “around
her”? And Seth…Despite all the suspicion, Hesper never once suspected Nathaniel, the most suspicious of them all. She
had even worried about his safety just moments ago.
“I was just afraid you’d die,” Hesper admitted with a hint of vulnerability in her tone. “But I’ve told you
everything you wanted to know. It’s my fault for not seeing through your true intentions earlier. From
now on, I won’t allow you to harm the people I care about.”
