Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329: You’re Actually Still Alive!

"Alright."

In the past, Junia Simpson would ignore Aurelia, whether she was refusing or not, and continue with the check-up.

Aurelia Shaw understood Junia Simpson’s attitude towards her.

She and Grayson Quinn were both victims of the events of that year. They couldn’t blame themselves but couldn’t pretend it never happened.

"You can go back, and if Mason Nightshade asks, just say I’m fine."

"Okay."

Junia Simpson nodded and was about to leave.

At that moment, she noticed Vespera Bennett on the opposite bed.

Vespera kept her head down, her face cold and hard like a man’s, with distinct features. She sensed someone’s gaze and looked up, meeting Junia Simpson’s eyes.

Junia Simpson felt her blood run cold, her body trembling; she would never forget that face.

Aurelia Shaw noticed Junia Simpson’s odd behavior, glancing between Junia Simpson and Vespera Bennett.

Did Junia Simpson recognize Vespera Bennett?

Vespera had been imprisoned four years ago; did they know each other from then?

Why did Junia Simpson’s gaze towards Vespera Bennett seem filled with hatred?

Suddenly, Junia Simpson raised her fist, rushed over, grabbed Vespera Bennett’s collar with one hand, and punched her in the face with the other, "You’re still alive!"

Vespera Bennett chuckled, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

She too didn’t expect to encounter Junia Simpson here.

Just what they mean by "enemies meet on a narrow road," isn’t it?

Five years ago, she escaped from their grasp after being pursued for a year. At one point, she was severely injured and killed someone on the roadside, trying to leave by car but got caught by a police officer who happened upon her.

Junia Simpson realized something and turned to glare at Aurelia Shaw.

Aurelia was stunned.

"Don’t look at her, she doesn’t know," Vespera Bennett spoke up.

Vespera’s defense of her made it clear she wasn’t naive; could there really be no connection between them?

Aurelia Shaw furrowed her brow slightly; Junia Simpson’s gaze... what hatred was there between her and Vespera Bennett?

"She was one of the Mafia in that mission. Do you know this?" Junia Simpson questioned Aurelia Shaw.

Aurelia Shaw suddenly froze!

Vespera was... one of the Mafia involved in that mission five years ago, causing Mason Nightshade’s failure and significant military losses?

Aurelia Shaw’s shock gave Junia Simpson some relief, yet she wasn’t sure if her expression was genuine surprise or acting.

"I want to take this person away." Junia Simpson gripped Vespera Bennett.

Vespera Bennett pushed her away, retreating to maintain distance.

If Junia Simpson took her away, she’d be doomed. With deep-seated hatred, Junia Simpson wouldn’t kill her but would torment her worse than death.

Vespera Bennett looked at Aurelia Shaw, pressing her lips together.

Aurelia Shaw could see Vespera Bennett seeking her help, but this was unrelated to her.

She was affected by events from five years ago, and now had to leave with Mason Nightshade.

Aurelia Shaw’s disgust and murderous intent toward the Mafia from five years ago were no less than Junia Simpson’s.

Vespera Bennett had been an assassin for years, unusually sensitive to killing intent, immediately sensing Aurelia Shaw’s murderous intent.

She was not surprised.

Because of her betrayal, Balthazar Shaw had caused an uproar online; it was no wonder she hated herself.

However, she had her reasons for assisting her.

Vespera Bennett leaned close to Aurelia Shaw’s ear and whispered a few words.

Aurelia Shaw’s expression subtly changed.

Junia Simpson noticed something strange, "You want to help her?"

Aurelia Shaw pressed her lips without answering.

Indeed, she had a reason she couldn’t ignore.

Junia Simpson couldn’t believe it, "Aurelia, you know what kind of person she is, you know how many lives she’s taken, yet you want to help her?"

"I have reasons I can’t ignore," Aurelia Shaw said, pressing her lips, "I’ll settle the debts she owes later, but not this time."

"Aurelia, Mason trusted you wrongly."

Junia Simpson glared at Vespera Bennett; she had come today to check Aurelia Shaw’s physical condition but knew she couldn’t take Vespera Bennett away if she encountered resistance.
