Emery whispered, "Why are you callingnow? Didn't we agree not to contact each other recently?"

Emery's voice sounded anxious because of Benjamin's test the previous day.

Frank was unable to discern the tremors of fear in Emery's voice. Nor did he know how Emery was truly feeling in

that moment. Frank asked, "Are you alright? Are you still at the construction site? | brought you sfood. Can

you cout for a bit?" "You're outside?"

"es."

"Why would you chere again? Don't you realize | nearly got caught because of our last meeting? This is an

extraordinary time. Don't ctoagain. Otherwise, it'll reveal that we were responsible for the landslide."

As the sponsor, Frank was Emery's superior. But the fear of losing his job and facing legal consequences made

Emery furiously warn Frank.

Frank, however, was focused on the key points. "Just stay calm. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will

know. But what do you mean you were almost caught?"

"What else could it mean? | was suspected. Fortunately, my answers didn't have any flaws, so my boss believed

me. Otherwise, | might be in a cell right now."

Thinking back to Benjamin's interrogation, Emery couldn't help but shudder. He'd managed to escape Charlie's

questioning, but the experience had left him deeply shaken.

Frank was about to probe further about who suspected Emery when a sudden noise crackled through the line.

"Emery? Emery?"

"Do you want to ask who suspected Emery?" A deep voice slowly cfrom the phone. Frank felt his blood run

cold.

He held his breath and stared in disbelief at the phone. The number displayed was Emery's, but the voice was

undoubtedly Benjamin's.

Frank remained silent, the urge to hang up the phone rising within him. But Benjamin's voice cut through the line

once more. "You don't even dare to speak when you hear my voice? Frank, if you don't have the courage for this,

how do you fight me?"

The provocation was the spark to Frank's smoldering anger.

Frank snorted and said calmly, "Why wouldn't | dare? What can you do to me? If you really had the power,

wouldn't you have acted by now? Your threats over the phone show

how little you can actually do

Benjamin smiled, his tone unhurried. "Frank, what do you think | need to do to deal with you? Isn't your own

Frank thought, "Benjamin had known everything for a while. Because there was no direct proof linkingto the

incident, he had held off on taking action. Instead, he had deliberately allowed my weaknesses to be exposed,

trappingin this precarious position.

If I had remained calm and done nothing, Benjamin would have had no evidence."

Frank turned cold and cursed, "You are so despicable."

"Thank you for the compliment. To deal with someone as despicable as you, | must indeed adopt a certain

flexibility in tactics," Benjamin replied, his voice oozing sarcasm. Benjamin had backed Frank into a corner.

Gritting teeth, Frank yelled, "Benjamin, even if you gather evidence, do you think you can catch me? | have the

final say!"

Frank abruptly hung up the phone, yanking out the SIM card, and powered off the device.
