According to Joe, Martha didnât seem to be protected. Instead, she seemed more like a prisoner.
Joe stared at Martha, âWhat? Donât you want to live here?â
Martha clenched her fists slightly. She was caught between a rock and a hard place, so she had no reason or confidence to refuse.
Martha forced a smile, âOf course, I want. Itâs great to be with you.â
At this time, Martha, who was smiling brightly, didnât know that the scene of her conversation with Joe had been photographed and sent to Hope.
In Halcyonland.
Hope was in the midst of a discussion with his subordinates when he saw the message from Joe. His brows furrowed tightly.
âF**kâ¦â
Hope had been with Martha for so many years, so he naturally knew that she said those words to protect herself.
However, Martha betrayed him without hesitation, which made Hope feel a chill in his heart.
âYou want to dump me after finding your son? Itâs not that easy.â Hope looked terrible. His men knew his character, so they all shut up and didnât dare to say anything.
Hope walked to the desk, took out a silver flash drive from the drawer, and casually threw it in front of one of his men. âSend it to Martha.â
Unless he was willing, she would never be able to leave him.
âWe are attacked by the Black Bear Gang!â A man stumbled open the door and looked at Hope in a panic.
Hope frowned.
Hope and the Black Bear Gang had always minded their own business, and they were neck and neck with each other. What was wrong with the Black Bear Gang?
But before Hope could figure it out, the Black Bear Gang had already come in.
Their boss, Dean, barged in unceremoniously with weapons.
Hope looked sullen. âDean, we have nothing to do with each other. What are you doing?â
Dean sneered, âNothing. I just think that the pattern of Halcyonland has been maintained for too many years. Itâs time to play some new tricks.â
âHow dare you!â Hope looked at Dean angrily. âDo you think Iâm a pushover?â
Dean shook his head with a smile. âWeâve been enemies for so many years.
Of course, I know youâre not a pushover. Itâs a pity that youâve offended someone you shouldnât have.
He is willing to support us to attack you. If I donât seize the opportunity, wonât I be too stupid?â
Hope picked up on some clues from his words. âYou mean that someone wants to deal with me?â
Hope felt that something was about to go wrong.
Just as Dean knew him, he also knew Dean very well.
Dean was not a reckless person. Otherwise, he would not have maintained a delicate balance with him for so many years.
If the person behind him hadnât promised him enough, he wouldnât have attacked him so easily.
The crux of the matter was who was supporting Dean behind the scenes.
Hope had offended so many people in his life that he couldnât even count them. But recentlyâ¦
Hope looked at his phone and thought of the video just now.
Could it be Joe?
