BXBX NOVEL Chapter 568 The Mole

Ring! Ring!
Nathan checked Jane\'s phone only to see Vincent\'s caller ID. A deep crease appeared on his forehead as he watched Jane\'s phone screen.
"Why is he calling her?" Nathan murmured to himself.
In the end, Nathan decided to ignore the call. But Vincent dialed her number again. Nathan\'s expression turned colder because of Vincent\'s persistence. It looked like he really wanted to talk to Jane.
Nathan pressed the canceled button and turned off Jane\'s phone. He hated the idea that this man was keeping in touch with Jane. He had the urge to unlock her phone and find out what the two were talking about. But this was against Jane\'s privacy. He couldn\'t do that to her, especially now that her health condition was unknown.
Nathan was following the ambulance that was carrying Jane. He had conflicting thoughts in mind as he thought of her. \'Why is she not waking up? Is she sick… again?\'
People would start looking for her– Abigail, Mr. Hiroshi, Cherry, Stephen, and the Yan Family. Nathan didn\'t know how he would deal with this. But his priority was to find out the reason why Jane remained unconscious.
Nathan subconsciously tightened his grip on his steering wheel. He couldn\'t believe that this happened to her.
\'What if kidnapping the general\'s daughter strained her body too much? Is she hurt somewhere? Was she poisoned?\' Nathan began to speculate, getting a little bit paranoid.
A few minutes later, Nathan reached the medical facility. The medical staff took care of Jane\'s transfer. A private ward was prepared for her. They were surprised to see their patient again. Jane stayed in this facility for two years while in a coma state. Now she was back again. They thought she already recovered.
The medical staff moved accordingly and examined her thoroughly. Nathan kept pacing back and forth outside the CT Scan Room, waiting for Jane\'s examination to finish.
When the doctor-in-charge came out, Nathan hastily approached him. "How is she? Did you find out anything?"
The doctor didn\'t know whether to laugh or not. But since it was his Big Boss, he couldn\'t laugh at him. Jane had just finished undergoing the CT Scan. They needed time to read and analyze the result.
"Sir, we will update you as soon as we are done analyzing all her examination results."
Nathan remained in his grumpy mood. He couldn\'t wait to know Jane\'s condition. But he had no choice. He needed to wait for the doctors to read and analyze her results.
"Fine. Once I come back, I need you to explain to me why she is not waking up! And for goodness\'s sake, don\'t ever say to me that she is back to a coma state!" Nathan stormed out, feeling impatient. Nathan\'s attitude put so much pressure on the medical staff. They just hoped they could figure out the root cause of her illness. Or perhaps, they wished she would regain consciousness soon.
Meanwhile, Nathan left the medical facility, heading to Syphiruz Headquarters. He had to meet Veronica and Marco and do some interrogation.
Chantha and Axel had been waiting for him. Upon his arrival, the two guided him to the interrogation room. Veronica and Marco were separated from each other. Nathan went to see Veronica first.
Veronica was locked in one room. They didn\'t tie her down. She was free to walk and move around the room but she was not allowed to leave. She was just sitting in the room and a guard was standing outside. Marco, on the other hand, was put in an underground prison cell. His hands and feet were bound on a steel chair.
When the room was slid open and Nathan came into her view, Veronica stood up and ran into him. "Nate, what is going on here? Why are they holding me captive here? I can\'t believe that Chantha did this to me. What I have done wrong?" She bombarded him with so many questions.
Nathan shot her a cold sharp glare, not hiding his displeasure. "For Monica\'s sake, I\'ll give you one chance. Tell me the truth now and I\'ll spare your life. Were you the one who instigated our accident in Caceres Hills? Did you order Marco to kill Abigail?"
Veronica\'s face turned pale when she heard that. So this was about Abigail and her accident.
"You know that I have ways to find out even if you will deny the truth from me. If I can\'t get the answer from you, I can take Marco\'s answer. So it\'s best for you not to lie to me. This is your last chance," Nathan warned her.
Veronica was aware of the Truth Serum. She was part of this research and helped the team to develop this drug. Though the supplies were limited, she could tell that Nathan wouldn\'t hesitate to use them if he needed to find the truth.
Veronica felt like crying. "I\'m sorry, Nate. I just did it because I love you. I want you for myself." She dropped to her knees and began begging him. "Please, Nate. Forgive me. It\'s my fault. I can\'t stop loving you. I have always loved you. But you never take notice of me once." Veronica grabbed his hands as she continued begging for his forgiveness.
Veronica had no choice but to confess her crime. She knew what Nathan was capable of. She needed to survive. And now, she was thinking about Marco\'s offer. \'I should have accepted his proposal of siding with the King Stallion Mafia.\' Veronica thought to herself.
Nathan, on the other hand, felt disgusted by Veronica. "I\'ll never forgive you." He pushed her away as he turned around to leave. He already got her confession and he didn\'t want to stay there longer.
"Supreme Leader, what should we do to her?" Chantha asked Nathan as soon as he stepped out of Veronica\'s room.
"Continue to lock her up. Take away all the privileges and benefits Syphiruz Mafia has provided her. I have so many things to deal with. I can\'t be bothered by her. It will just be a waste of time." Nathan hadn\'t thought of the punishment he would give Veronica. His mind was still occupied by Jane.
"Okay, Supreme Leader. How about her accomplice?" Chantha was referring to Marco.
"Torture him until he begs you to kill him. But keep him alive for now." Nathan promptly responded.
Both Axel and Chantha nodded their heads. They observed that Nathan was in a hurry to leave the headquarters. Did something come up again?
"I have to go now. Axel, I\'ll be absent tomorrow. Just take charge of the company on my behalf." Nathan instructed Axel without explaining the situation to him. After saying that, he left the Syphiruz Headquarters, going back to the Medical Facility.

[ At Vincen\'ts Villa… ]
Vincent hadn\'t fixed his problem yet when he received another piece of bad news.
"Sir, Marco has been captured by the Syphiruz Mafia. What are we going to do? What if he will divulge information about you and our organizations?" His underling reported to him.
But Vincent didn\'t feel anxious at all. He was calm when he heard the news.
"Don\'t worry too much about Marco. He won\'t mention our organization. But you are right. I can\'t let him stay in the Syphiruz. I guess I have to use my card again."
After saying that, Vincent contacted someone who could help him solve this issue. "Hello, Joker. It\'s me. I heard your fellow members captured my subordinate. Now, it\'s time for you to return the favor. Help Marco escape."
