A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1317
“It was 1-2 who told me to put the chip in his head. The one who turned him into a pawn was also 1-2, because 1-2 saw potential
in his skills and abilities, so he let him play his dark games, even hacking into 1-1’s purview instead of having him killed. This
shows that 1-2 still needs him.”
Sophie explained, then stood up and embraced Mr. Ben’s waist, pleading gently, “Ben, 1-2 gave me half an hour of control, not
for us to act on our own. We shouldn’t challenge his authority. Let’s send him to the brig and let 1-2 punish him as he sees fit.”
His hand, already hovering over the detonation switch, retreated slowly at her words, moving to hold Sophie’s waist instead, “But
what if we don’t kill him now, and one day 1-2 decides to use him again? What if he uses 1-2’s authority to turn on us?
“Remember, we have his biggest secret. If 1-2 decides to trust him again, we’ll expose him. We’ll leave him with nowhere to
hide!”
Seeing the murderous intent in Sophie’s eyes, Mr. Ben nodded in satisfaction.
He and Bernard had joined Siren Organization together, but Mr. Penrod had always favored Bernard. He personally taught and
nurtured him, and when he came of age, he even made him the leader.
All he could be was a subordinate to Bernard, not even a right-hand man like Caleb or Scott.
He had long despised Bernard, and was tired of his arrogant demeanor. Luckily, fate had shown him the existence of the Area
Opaca.
At the same time, he had met Sophie, who he loved. Seeing Sophie discarded and tormented by Bernard, Mr. Ben despised him
even more. That’s why he took Sophie and together, they joined the Area Opaca.
Sophie hated Bernard more than he did, so he let Sophie take revenge. He allowed her to hold the list of the members of Siren
Organization and negotiate with 1-2 to become an operator for the Area Opaca.
He was content to be second in command, assisting her. They became influential figures in Area Opaca. Even the feared 1-4
didn’t dare to challenge them.
Mr. Ben had never been valued so much as in Area Opaca. It was something Siren Organization couldn’t or wouldn’t give him.
He decided if Siren Organization wouldn’t value him, he would destroy them.

As for the brotherhood in Siren Organization, it was nothing compared to his current status, or the satisfaction of seeing Bernard
miserable.
Thinking about Bernard forced to separate from his wife and watching Caleb being swallowed by a snake, Mr. Ben couldn’t help
but laugh. Bernard probably never thought he’d be played and controlled by him!...
As he looked at the unconscious Bernard, Mr. Ben smirked. Just then, Sophie asked, “Ben, has my dad left yet?”
Mr. Ben glanced back at Sophie, nodding, “Uncle Vernon left a while ago. As soon as the black-clad men guarding Eleanor
leave, he’ll take care of her... permanently.”
Sophie had a greater hatred for Eleanor than Mr. Ben had for Bernard. She believed that Eleanor had stolen Bernard from her,
so she could never let Eleanor go.
She had a plan. As soon as the players reached their destination, her father would take Eleanor away. This way, she could
uphold the rules of Area Opaca and easily kill Eleanor.
So, Bernard should have listened to Eleanor and faced it with her together. At least they could die together. Now, he was
heartbroken and separated from her. It was quite a show.
Thinking about how she had played them both, Sophie felt elated.
Of course, it helped that Eleanor couldn’t let go of Bernard. That’s why she was lured into Area Opaca. Otherwise, Sophie would
have had to go out and kill her, which would have been quite a hassle.
Sophie scoffed at Bernard in her mind. Since he loved and cherished Eleanor so much, let him suffer the pain of losing her once
again!
Sophie turned her malicious gaze away and tightened her grip on Mr. Ben’s arm, “Ben, let’s go back to our room and celebrate.
We can pop open a bottle of champagne and then...”
Sophie tiptoed to whisper in Mr. Ben’s ear, “I’ll make it worth your while... for as long as you want...”
Mr. Ben grinned, pulling her chin up for a hard kiss, “Sounds good. But first, let’s take care of that wound on your neck...”
Sophie brushed off his concern, cleaning the blood from her neck, “This wound is a testament to our successful revenge. Let it
bleed as we celebrate!”
