"Dayton is not the president of Crowdstar Group,’ I mumbled, reaching out to ruffle Yara’s hair.
"Take good care of the younger ones. From now on, don’t get involved in anything that’s happening with the Rebels. Just live your life as an ordinary young woman. Do well in your studies and enjoy life.
Yara looked at , surprised. "Why, Ms. Sofia? Back when you rescued from Geno Society, you told to consider carefully if I wanted to follow you out. You said that if I chose so, I might live a life of fear forever and would fight Geno Society to the end."
Yara also ca from the laboratory. She was brought back to Geno Society before I lost my mories. There was a laboratory under Peter’s asylum, and that was where I brought her out.
I lost my mories after that, and Yara had been with the Rebels since then. Her appearance on the cruise was also part of the Rebels’ plan for her to get close to -it was to test out to see if I was really Sophia.
She knew that the reincarnation project had succeeded when Ashton and Xan, who both had "Sophia’s" genes, recognized as their "mother".
Most of the Rebels had chosen to follow Carol now. Fortunately, Yara remained loyal to .
"You’re still young and have a bright future ahead of you. All of you will have a better future ahead." I looked down at her.
Suddenly, I understood why Dexter had gone to such lengths to erase my mories. Despite not being smart, I could live as an ordinary person.
Sotis, leading a simple life was a sort of happiness too.
Yara remained silent. She probably couldn’t understand what I was saying now-just like how I was astonished by my own thoughts.
I found myself feeling a mixture of emotions. It was a complicated feeling.
I looked down at my hands and smiled bitterly.
What exactly had Dexter been doing during the ti I lost my mories? Why would I turn out this way now?
"Xandra? Where are you?’ Xandra had disappeared from Dayton’s residence.
It seed like the entire Huma was thrown into chaos with Dexter’s death.
Geno Society was in disarray, with their laboratories coming to light one after another. The Rebels had also started their flurry of attacks.
Dayton choked a sob as he looked at Xandra’s na. He had partnered with Dexter because he didn’t want to live an ordinary life, but he did not expect that Xandra would be dragged into it.
"She was taken away, but not by Geno Society." I climbed in through the window and looked at Dayton.
I continued, "Geno Society is in disarray now. As their benefactor, you’re their hope for a coback after they recover. That’s why it’s definitely not Geno Society who took Xandra away."
Dayton looked at warily. "Are you.... Una?"
I smiled and asked, "Who do you think I am based on your first impression?"
Dayton backed off in fear. He was afraid of . ’I’ve asked Dexter about the reincarnation project, and he said that it does exist. Who exactly are you-Una or Sophia?"
I ignored his question and said, "I know who took Xandra away. I can also help you to get her back safely." "You can help get her back?" He looked at nervously. His feelings for Xandra were truly genuine.
"The Rebels were the ones who took Xandra away. Everyone’s saying that you’ve t the mastermind behind Geno Society," I said, looking at Dayton. ’Tell , who exactly is this mysterious mastermind behind Geno Society?"
We all knew that soone who had hidden themselves so deeply had to be soone close to us or soone we knew well. But until now, no one had been able to figure out their identity.
Dayton was taken aback. A hint of panic flashed through his gaze before he lowered his head and started shaking it. "No... I didn’t. I’ve not t them."
"It seems like Xandra isn’t that important to you," I said, looking at him.
Dayton choked on his sobs as his eyes reddened. ’I’m sorry, I’ve let Dexter down."
I frowned, asking, "What do you an?"
Dayton said, "I regretted my choice and didn’t go to et Geno Society’s mastermind. I told Dexter that I wanted to stop working together. I just wanted to live in peace and stay out of his affairs.
"I no longer want to attract those lunatics as the president of Crowdstar Group. I don’t want to expose Xandra to more danger, which is why I turned down Dexter’s offer."
My hands turned cold and numb. No wonder Dexter had to die all of a sudden.
Dayton got cold feet at the last minute and turned against them as the ’president" of Crowdstar Group. Dexter had no other options with his plans already at this stage.
He couldn’t find a substitute for Dayton’s position on short notice, nor could he gain Geno Society’s trust in such a short period of ti.
That was why Dexter exposed his identity and personally went to et Geno Society’s mastermind.
That also ant that Dexter was the only person who knew the identity of the mastermind, yet he died in the laboratory’s explosion.
I stepped back listlessly, looking at Dayton. His head was hung low, and his eyes were red from crying. "I’m sorry... I didn’t know this would cost him his life. I’m sorry."
His apologies ant he had probably heard of the news of Dexter’s death from the explosion.
I stared at Dayton for the longest ti. Before this, I would’ve thought that a betrayer like him deserved to die.
I could just kill him or ignore him and let Xandra and him fend for themselves.
But why was I still frozen in place, stiffly staring at Dayton? I could hear another voice in my head. I was actually trying to convince myself to think from the perspective of others.
Dayton was just an ordinary person. He was timid, and while he was despicable for the way he acted in order to protect himself and his loved one, his action didn’t warrant death.
I backed away in shock. Why was I starting to consider things from others’ perspective?
"You need to learn to think from the perspective of others, Ashton. Try to consider the problem from their point of view." I recalled the words Dexter once used to educate Ashton.
He said, "The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that humans have emotions."
Overwheld with emotions, I turned around and ran away.
Dayton cried out for , "Please help , Sophia! Xandra is innocent! I could die if you want to, but please help save her."
I went to the asylum after leaving Dayton’s place.
The asylum was relocated here after Andy and my parents passed away from the car accident. It continued to operate even after Peter’s incident.
The world would continue to move even just fine without soone.
"Are you Sophia?" A young woman walked out from the corner by the entrance of the asylum. It was Peter’s autistic daughter, Linda.
She seed to be waiting for .
"Were you waiting for ?’ I glanced at her warily.
"Dexter said that you’d definitely co here if you recovered all your mories," Linda said in a hoarse voice. I strode over to grab her wrist. "You know Dexter."
"I like Dexter. I’ve liked him since he was locked up in the asylum. He’s different from the others-he’s a
genius and a star left by God among humankind," Linda said seriously.
She continued, "He asked to bring you to the things he had left for you once you’ve recovered all your mories’
