Billionaire Assassin

Chapter 12: Teddie Berry's death

"I do not know anything. I do nothing!" Aurora Ward was frightened, bursting into sobs. She closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She fell silent, her ears ringing immediately.

"Liar, look at yourself." Jake Hunt stood back, trying not to get his body into the nearby frame. He fixed his hair and sleeves, straightening his suit.

Jake Hunt's cold gaze watched Aurora Ward collapse to the side, her hair disheveled. Jake Hunt shot Aurora a scornful look, slamming the door shut.

“Listen! Whoever dares to touch my money, the result will be like this. Don't think that you work for the CIA's cyber security force and can escape the clutches of Thunder Electronics Corporation? This is just the beginning. She rests assured. Things will only get worse.” Jake Hunt smiled at Aurora Ward and walked out, leaving her alone in the hotel room. Jake Hunt walked out of the hotel room in utter glee.

The elevator had just closed. Jake Hunt slowly pulled out a stack of money and handed it to Noah, a mischievous smile full of joy. Jake Hunt entered the elevator glass wall and admired his face and body. A feeling of satisfaction rose in his heart.

Noah whispered to Jake: "Is it too much for her? After all, she's a girl. It makes me feel bad to be treated like that.”

Jake Hunt looked at Noah Barker and smiled: "For a thief like her, you have to be strong to threaten her."

Inroom 908, Aurora Ward broke into pieces, short and long tears. Aurora tried to sit up. Her face was red and swollen, looking around with wet eyes.

On the bed, traces of s*x remained, the sheets crumpled like a trampled painting. Aurora Ward vaguely perceives her situation. She tossed the blanket aside, dark red blood soaking the center of the bed.

Aurora Ward stood unsteadily, staggered to the ground. She screamed again what Aurora Ward feared had happened the most. She had no hope of living anymore.

Aurora Ward cried inside the room until her throat was hoarse, her dehydrated lips cracked and dry, and her eyes puffy with water retention. Aurora Ward rushed into the bathroom, standing naked in front of the mirror, kiss marks scattered all over her body.

Tears streamed down each red kiss mark on her pink and white skin, and she dragged her feet into the bathtub, flushing from the shower. Aurora Ward thought that the water would wash away the filth she was carrying. She tried to remember everything before.

Everything was like an illusion slowly returning to Aurora Ward's brain. She only remembered three hours ago, after the troublesome incident at the CIA's cybersecurity agency, she and Teddie Berry went out for a drink to comfort themselves.

Because today is Aurora Ward's birthday, and she doesn't know if it is because she is an orphan, the day she was admitted to the orphanage is also her birthday.

Aurora thinks she will have moments of relaxation after the frontal attack on the headquarters of an unknown hacker using her alias Secret Heart.

While Aurora Ward and Teddie Berry were sitting inside the VIP table, a strange, trendy-looking man came to offer her a drink. She couldn't even remember his face. She only replaced his charming thin lips.

He spoke so politely that neither she nor Teddie Berry took any precautions. Aurora drank and felt the drunkenness come quickly. She was dizzy and now realizes that she is here.

Aurora Ward smiled faintly at her stupidity. She began to piece together the clumsy, faltering memories. Though uncertain, she felt trapped.

Who caused this, Aurora, has not yet been identified. But that guy's hand is too cruel for a girl like her. Aurora Ward is both angry at herself and terrified of what she will face when this spreads.

What more pain? But Aurora Ward's mind wasn't too worried, anyway. Who cares about an orphan like her? At best, everything will float on the news for a week and quickly sink.

The phone rang continuously. Aurora Ward was bored and didn't look. She was tired, sinking in the water, closing her eyes. As soon as the phone rang, there was a knock on the door.

Aurora quickly dressed and went to open the door. Her arm faltered as it touched the doorknob. The knock on the door prompted Aurora Ward to look through the magic eye. Outside was Rosie Hart.

Aurora quickly opened the door. Rosie Hart just went inside, and then Aurora Ward hugged her tightly.

"Rosie, I've been ensnared." Tears began to flow again.

"I know, but something happened at the office." Rosie stroked Aurora Ward's hair to reassure her.

"What happened?" Aurora Ward reached out and grabbed Rosie Hart tightly.

“Teddie Berry has been killed.” Rosie Hart frowned, looking sad at Aurora Ward.

"It can not be that way." Aurora felt everything was so vague that she couldn't believe it.

Rosie Hart grabbed Aurora Ward's shoulders. Aurora Ward was confused by Ms. Thanh's words. The world around her seemed to be turned upside down.

Aurora Ward collapses in Rosie Hart's arms, and everything fades into the dark: “Now it's up to you to be strong. It is certainly all about Thunder Electronics Corporation.”

Three days later, Aurora Ward was still sitting by Teddie Berry's grave after everyone had left. Since Aurora returned to the CIA's cybersecurity agency with Rosie Hart, no one at the headquarters has given her any sympathy or sharing. Aurora seems to have begun to prepare to live as a ghost again.

“Are you also qualified to sit here?” A cold voice spoke up. A figure obscured the view, preventing the sunlight from reaching Aurora Ward. It was an employee of the CIA's cybersecurity agency. She was tired of not responding to his words.

“Didn't you know that that night, it was because of you that Teddie Berry died? From the moment you appeared, the CIA's cyber security agency was smeared, hacked, and now Teddie Berry - our Captain is dead." He added, lips curled in anger.

Aurora Ward clenched her fists, her eyes watering. His words made Aurora Ward's heart clench.

“You should pack your bags.” It seemed that Aurora Ward's silence made him angry.

"Package?" Aurora Ward's cold gaze looked into the distance without even bothering to look at the employee's name.

"Right! This afternoon Rosie Hart will take her abroad to the new headquarters. How can she live with the man who killed her lover?" The withered smile on the employee's lips made Aurora Ward shiver.

Aurora Ward knew this would happen early on but didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Most importantly, she didn't realize that Teddie Berry was Rosie Hart's lover.

“Something like you is disgraceful. I don't even know that I'm drugged." The employee left quietly.

Despite knowing the painful truths, at least some of the questions, Aurora Ward has answered. Aurora stood by the grave of Teddie Berry - her respected brother and colleague.

Aurora Ward lay limp, her mind falling into a never-ending circle of chaos.

Soon after, a series of attacks began again. This made Rosie Hart nervous because she saw more and more arrows starting to point towards Aurora Ward.

She became worried and decided to get Aurora Ward out of the US immediately. Because only when Aurora leaves here will her life be safe. Besides, Aurora is the only clue for Rosie Hart to investigate the mysterious death of Teddie Berry.

That afternoon, Aurora Ward was at the New York airport.

Aurora Ward was arranged by Rosie Hart for a completely new identity and forced her to try to get used to it. Aurora Ward limped briskly in red Christian Louboutin heels. The airport was packed with people. Aurora stroked her lengthy hair and looked around, drawing in her chest.

She left New York in tears, and Rosie Hart's trusting gaze on her. "I'll definitely find out who killed Teddie Berry."

Aurora Ward thought to herself.

Rosie Hart sighed in worry. She felt she did not know whether it was right or wrong to decide to take Aurora Ward out of the US at this time.

There's a part of Rosie Hart's personal feelings, though. She is jealous, depressed, and cowardly. Rosia Hart does not dare to face Aurora Ward even though she knows Aurora Ward is entirely pure.

The story goes back to three days ago, the room of the Chairman of Thunder Electronics Corporation, located on the top floor of the Thunder Electronics building, located in the heart of Manhattan.

Thunder Electronics Corporation is considered a gathering place for many seniors in the American business world. This corporation is always considered one of the US's four most significant economic monuments. Thunder Electronics Group Chairman - Jake Hunt is one of the outstanding talents with extreme business strategy and highly harsh management.

Jake Hunt is considered a perfect copy of his father - Mr. Ethan Hunt - Former Chairman of Thunder Electronics Corporation.
