My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 2266 It was nighttime in Gorgeous Country.

Sterling, Mallory, Avery, and Lillia exchanged uneasy glances. Just a day after Helio's disappearance, Puelo also went missing. Now, it was just the four of them, and it was becoming increasingly clear that their mission had failed.

Even though they noticed that the watchers had disappeared, it had nonetheless attracted the attention of the higher-ups. BrightState Enterprise was now conducting mass identity checks, with more martial artists being brought in to maintain order.

Avery turned back to look at Sterling and said, "We're going to continue the mission, of course. I haven't contacted Mica and the others yet, so I'll keep trying. What about you? What's your choice?"

Sterling stood up and watched the three of them. "If we all go missing, it'll be a total defeat! At least, we should wait..."

Avery turned away from him and looked at the others' backs as he said softly, "Terry, we don't blame you. You should go back. We... The group gave us our lives. We'll carry out theirs and Mr. Hughes' orders without hesitation.

"So, I'm sorry, but you should leave with your head held high. You're not like us; you still have people who care about you. We... only have each other."
