Chapter 511 - 511: More Truth and Revelation

General Jason was surprised when Aliyah Ross brought up Cedrick Falcon. The incident 18 years ago crossed his mind like a flashback. 

For some unknown reason, he admitted everything to Erick and Elle. He kept that incident for so long. Whenever he would remember it, the guilt for betraying his good friend was still bothering him. 

He didn't want to admit that he could still feel the guilt deep inside his heart and his conscience kept haunting him whenever he would think of Cedrick's daughter who went missing after that incident. 

That was also the main reason why he hated Alfonso to the core. They even hurt an innocent child. But blaming and hating Alfonso for everything was just his excuse so that he would feel better.

He kept reminding himself that he was not the one who hurt them. He was not the one who killed them just to make him feel better. 

However, he couldn't bury the truth that he was still the accomplice. It was undeniably a fact that he betrayed his friend and it resulted in the death of Cedrick and his family.

General Jason had no idea that Erick's team had already connected the dots and they already knew that Elle also known as Catseye was the missing daughter of Agent Cedrick Falcon.

Meanwhile, When Elle heard that confession from General Jason, it was as if she was thrown back to that day where she experienced and witnessed that frightening scene when Alfonso and his gang attacked her family.

A boiling fury swelled within her like a blazing inferno that wanted to burn her from inside out. Her pulse sped up and she was breathing very shallow. She clenched her fists so hard that her nails cut into her skin.

She looked at General Jason with hatred, her eyes smoldering with anger. She was losing herself again as Elle was at her wit's end.

She was so mad knowing that her father trusted the wrong person. He was betrayed by his own friend. All the pain and her suffering were suddenly resurfacing one after another. She wanted to kill someone just to satisfy her rage.

Erick was so angry as well. He didn't expect that General Jason was this kind of man. But his anger was overpowered by his concern for Elle. If he was angry right now then how much more Elle?

He immediately shifted his gaze to her only to find out that Elle's expression already changed. Her eyes were red with rage. He could tell by the way her body was shaking. She stood still, fist clenched at her sides as the two men behind her were still holding her in place.

'Elle… wifey please be strong. Don't let your anger consume you,' Erick was silently praying in his mind while looking at Elle worriedly.

However, Elle could no longer hide her fury, not after knowing all of this. This revelation came from the person who did the crime. Elle's laughter bubbled up. It was a burst of humorless laughter.

Everyone including General Jason looked at her in confusion. They didn't know why she suddenly laughed.

"Is there anything funny, Miss Aliyah Rose?" General Jason asked her, his eyebrow arched in amus.e.m.e.nt.

'Wifey…' Erick had a bad feeling about this. Elle looked different right now. It was frightening him. What if she would do something she shouldn't have. He had to protect her and their baby.

Elle, on the other hand, stopped laughing upon hearing General Jason's query.

"Gen. Jason, do you know that you are fated to make the life of Cedrick's daughter miserable?" Elle said sternly, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" General Jason couldn't help but frown.

"Wow, I think you still have no idea that you already met the missing daughter of your good friend whom you betrayed," Elle said, being sarcastic.

General Jason wondered why Aliyah Ross suddenly changed her attitude. She became bold and fierce right now. He could no longer see the fear in her eyes. All he could see was anger and hatred. But why?

"Stop beating around the bush, Aliyah. If you have something to tell then state it directly."

Elle let out another mocking laugh.

"Oh, your spying skills seem to diminish its effectiveness. You didn't learn the truth about his daughter. In return for your confession, let me tell you this truth."

Elle paused for a moment. She was eyeing General Jason with a wicked smile on her face. Erick felt uneasy. He didn't know what Elle was planning to do. He wanted to warn her but Elle was not looking in his direction.

'Elle... what are you trying to do here?' Erick peered at his surroundings, wishing that Phantom and his team were watching this. He was counting on them. No matter what happened, Erick and Phantom should do their best to secure Elle's safety and protect her.

Elle continued speaking to General Jason.

"Ma. Belle Elleise Falcon, that's her name. She went missing, right? You didn't see her body. That poor child… she survived 18 years ago after you betrayed her family." The hatred was reflected in her voice.

General Jason just remained silent, allowing Elle to tell him what she wanted. He had to admit he was also wondering what happened to Cedrick's daughter. He thought she died already but her missing body became a mystery 18 years ago.

"And that child… she came back to City Z and started to plan her revenge when she became ready. The funny thing was… you caused her family's death 18 years ago… and just two years ago, with your own hands, you tried to kill her once again."

General Jason's frown deepened after hearing that. He darted his gaze back and forth between Elle and Erick. Judging from their expression alone, it seemed that Aliyah Ross was not bluffing. She knew something about Cedrick's daughter.

"The Catseye whom you tried to kill two years ago… was also the missing daughter of Agent Cedrick Falcon."
