Faced with overwhelming evidence, Jason's face turned ghostly pale, and his legs gave out beneath him. He tried to throw away the check and appointment letter to distance himself, but two tactical officers immediately pinned him down.

"Take them away! You're charged with money laundering, falsifying national data, and being an accessory to attempted murder. Your company is finished today!" the officer said coldly.

Hearing those words, Summer completely broke down. She dragged her paralyzed low

  • Deep Sea Betrayal   Chapter 10

    Faced with overwhelming evidence, Jason's face turned ghostly pale, and his legs gave out beneath him. He tried to throw away the check and appointment letter to distance himself, but two tactical officers immediately pinned him down."Take them away! You're charged with money laundering, falsifying national data, and being an accessory to attempted murder. Your company is finished today!" the officer said coldly.Hearing those words, Summer completely broke down. She dragged her paralyzed lower body across the floor like a worm, crawling toward my feet and desperately clutching my military boots as she sobbed and begged."Honey! Carter! I was wrong! I know that now! Zachary forced me into it! He wanted your hazard pay; he wanted to be a director! For the sake of our marriage, please forgive me! I don't want to go to prison!"I looked down at this woman who had once made me give her everything before pushing me into the abyss, and there was not a shred of sympathy in my eyes. I rai

    Just as Summer's fingers were about to touch that 80-million-dollar check, the ballroom doors were violently kicked open from the outside.The massive crash drowned out all the applause, and everyone's attention instantly snapped toward the entrance.Two squads of fully armed tactical officers in riot gear stormed into the ballroom like black lightning, moving with flawless precision as they instantly sealed every exit, hallway, and media broadcast van."Police! Everyone, stay where you are and don't move!" the lead officer barked, his command silencing the entire room.In that deathly stillness and under the shocked gaze of fifty million livestream viewers, I strode down the red carpet wearing a crisp dark blue uniform that represented the nation's highest-ranking oceanic command authority.A brilliant medal of the highest honor shone on my chest.My left hand was covered by a black tactical glove, and the scars on my face looked cold and lethal under the ballroom's brilliant li

    Three days later, the ballroom of the city's most luxurious five-star hotel had been rented out by the sponsor company and decorated in extravagant black and white.This large-scale press conference and funeral service attracted over 100 mainstream media outlets from across the country, and online viewership across all streaming platforms exceeded 50 million.The large screens displayed my work photos on a loop, but they were accompanied by harsh labels like 'impulsive,' 'psychotic,' and 'cautionary tale.'At the center of the ballroom, Summer wore an expensive designer black dress and an elegant black veil, sitting in a custom electric wheelchair. She held a pristine white handkerchief, periodically dabbing at nonexistent tears in the corners of her eyes as she choked out her story to the cameras."Even though Carter committed an unforgivable crime and nearly killed us, he was still my husband once. I'm a disabled single mother now, but I'll stay strong and raise Kendra..."That

    While the entire internet was celebrating this despicable pair's touching love story and miraculous survival, I sat aboard an unmarked military transport plane, secretly flying back home under the highest-level classified escort from the National Research Institute.My left hand had lost the tip of my pinky finger to deep-sea frostbite, and my face bore a few shallow scars from the reef rocks, but none of that mattered.What mattered was that I had not only brought back the core energy sample that would help our nation's deep-sea technology break through a decade-long bottleneck, but I had also brought back the independent black box loaded with ironclad evidence.The plane landed at a military airfield, where the top leadership of the NOA and the head of military intelligence personally met me on the runway."Carter, you've been through hell. The sample you brought back is priceless," Aaron Parker, the senior director, said, gripping my hand tightly with tears welling in his eyes.

    Two weeks later, a carefully orchestrated press conference was underway in the luxury VIP suite of one of the country's top private hospitals.Summer sat in a wheelchair wearing a hospital gown, her legs covered with a thick cashmere blanket. Her makeup had been done to create a fragile, sickly look, with tears clinging to the corners of her eyes.Zachary stood behind her in a sharp, tailored suit, wearing the latest invisible hearing aids, looking devoted and resolute.Dozens of media outlets crowded the hospital room, with their cameras flashing nonstop."Ms. Yates, can you tell us what exactly happened down there? Why did Carter cut the cable?" one reporter eagerly asked.Summer immediately covered her face and let out a piercing sob, as if she had been deeply traumatized. "It was Carter... He went crazy! He'd been working in the deep sea for years and had developed severe deep-sea psychosis!"She continued her tearful accusation. "When the pipeline repair failed, not only did

    Time inside the probe seemed to stand still, with only my racing heartbeat and the faint hiss of the oxygen generator echoing in my ears.After what felt like an eternity, a deep metallic clang rang out from outside the chamber, followed by the blinding beam of a powerful searchlight cutting through the deep-sea darkness and illuminating the probe's porthole.I forced myself to crawl up and peered through the scratched glass.A massive, state-of-the-art deep-sea submersible was slowly approaching me.It was a neighboring country's research vessel! They had clearly picked up my highest-level SOS signal and were the closest responders.The submersible extended its mechanical arm and began cutting through the probe's exterior. The moment the hatch was forced open, several crew members in heavy dive suits quickly pulled me into their decompression chamber."Goodness, there's actually someone down here!" one crew member exclaimed as he quickly fitted me with a high-pressure oxygen mas
