Chapter 807
The other party's cars immediately surrounded them from all directions, but due to Jamie's excellent
driving skills, they were able to take the lead. After driving into the city, he skillfully used the traffic lights
at the intersection to successfully lose the other party who were at their tail. After he made sure that
there were no cars chasing them anymore by looking in the rearview mirror, he reduced the speed and
drove into an empty alley before stopping the car.
After going through a near-death experience, Narissa heaved a sigh of relief and joked as she smiled
bitterly, "Since I'm lucky enough to survive this, I think I'll be lucky enough to survive anything in the
future."
"Luckily, the cameras aren't damaged. We've hit the jackpot this time!" Jayden exclaimed as he
checked the camera equipment.
Jamie, however, looked grim as he placed both hands on the steering wheel. He wasn't pleased about
what had happened.
"You haven't told me what pictures you managed to get," Narissa leaned to the back and asked.
"Powder." Jayden looked nervous yet excited at the same time.
"Really?" She was surprised about it since the initial plan was just to collect evidence of illegal trading
of beef. They weren't expecting to get something that exclusive.
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Jamie's shoulder. "President Keller, thank you for your help today.
If not for your help, the whole thing would have gone unnoticed by the authorities."
"Take your hand off me," Jamie responded coldly.
Jayden's smile froze upon hearing that, but after realizing that he wasn't joking, Jayden immediately
took his hands off him.
"What's wrong?" Narissa sensed that something wasn't right by looking at his expression.
Hearing that, Jamie glared at her, but he couldn't bring himself to reprimand her in the end. He then
looked to the front and said, "How could you not do some investigation on it before attempting such a
dangerous act?"
The atmosphere was tense.
"I'm sorry, it's my mistake," Jayden apologized earnestly.
"Huh." Jamie scoffed. "And you call yourself a professional reporter? You put your partner in danger by
not doing a proper investigation before going."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJamie's sarcastic remarks made Jayden look down shamefully.
To stop things from getting out of hand, Narissa tried to explain, "He shouldn't take all the blame since
I'm the one who asked to tag along at the last minute. On top of that, no one wished for the incident to
happen."
"You're still taking his side?" Jamie turned over and looked at her in disbelief. "If I hadn't turned up
today, both of you would have been dead!" He was so infuriated that he didn't notice he'd raised his
voice.
"Why are you raising your voice at me? Who am I to you? Why would it matter if I were dead?" Narissa
raised her voice as well.
Both of them were as stubborn as a mule and refused to give in.
Jamie suddenly felt bad for scolding her and said, "It's all because of Boss. Do you think I like to
meddle in your matters?"
"Don't meddle in my business, then. I don't need you to care for me just because of Elise. Since I'm an
adult, I'll take full responsibility for my actions, so you don't have to be worried about me in the future."
She had been holding back these words for the longest time and was finally able to get it off her chest
today. She had always felt that in his eyes, she was just Elise's stand-in. Now, she could finally be
herself.
Jamie was speechless after hearing what she said and realized that he had said something wrong. He
immediately tried to explain, "That's not what I mean. Boss is indeed an important person to me, but
you're also my good friend too. I can't just sit back if anything happened to the both of you."
"Good friend?" Narissa uttered as she let out a bitter smile before looking at him coldly, "Thank you for
thinking that highly of me, but relationships are a two-way street. Right now, I don't want to be your
good friend."
"Narissa, I'm supposed to be the one that's furious right now, but why do you seem more worked up
than me?" He furrowed his brows as he was frustrated that Narissa couldn't understand what he was
trying to say.
"Am I getting worked up? I don't think so." She glanced at him disappointedly. "Jamie, do you know that
you're a hypocrite? You've always said that El is significant to you, but she hasn't been back for more
than a month. Meanwhile, have you ever planned on going to look for her?"
"How would I not, I.."
"You don't have to explain it to me. The answer doesn't matter now as it has nothing to do with me
anymore."
Before Jamie could respond, she immediately turned over at Jayden and said, "Let's go." She opened
the car door and got out of the car before slamming the door shut. Jamie was left alone inside the
vehicle.

"Narissa? Hey!" he called out to her twice, but she ignored him and walked away with Jayden before
disappearing into the alley. Jamie mumbled helplessly, "I was just trying to reason with you…"
After they visited the police station, Jayden brought Narissa to his base—a farmyard in the suburbs. As
they walked in, Jayden introduced to her, "Aspiring journalists from all over the country are all gathered
here. These people are under enormous pressure to maintain social justice, so I consider them heroes.
"
Hearing that, she was deeply inspired and looked up to Jayden even more. "You are a hero too, you
know."
Unable to deny her words, he shrugged while putting his palms out and said, "We have a heroine now."
"Where is she?" She looked around.
"Stop looking. She's standing right in front of me." He looked at her gently.
Hearing that made her shy. Just then, a man walked in and handed over a file to him. "Jayden, you're
here. Let me tell you some good news—we finally have news from Smith Co., dude."
Smith Co.? Narissa started paying attention to their conversation.
"Really?!" Jayden flipped through the files excitedly. After briefly looking through it, he grabbed the
man's hand and exclaimed, "We must get it this time round!"
"Don't worry, this news is from a reliable source. Alexander will never get away this time." The man
then patted the back of his hand and said, "Alright, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, be careful."
The man looked over at Narissa and nodded at her before leaving.
Without waiting for Narissa to ask him any questions, Jayden revealed everything to her. "I'm sure that
you should have heard of Smith Co., haven't you? It is the largest financial company in Cittadel, and
they have monopolized many industries. We have been following them for two years, and we have
finally made progress."
Suddenly, he paused and patted her shoulder. "When that time comes, both of us will be the nation's
hero."
Unlike other girls, Narissa had a boyish personality and a strong sense of justice. "Sure." She felt
inspired by it and decided to join Jayden's organization to uphold justice.
