Chapter 452 I frowned, wary as I eyed him.
He just flasheda grin. "Melody must've shared ssecrets with you, huh? That's just the tip of the iceberg." He knew. He knew that Melody had spilled the beans about those so-called cloning experiments.
"The cops are already on it. Melody's turnedin. It won't be long before they trace it back to me. And you guessed it... I'm just another pawn in their game. When push comes to shove, they'll sacrificewithout a second thought," Damian said, his voice tinged with sadness as he opened the car door. "Want to know more? Then ctake a ride with me." I eyed Damian skeptically. Was he really going to spill the beans just like that? "Think we were born yesterday?" Colin's voice was deep and grounded, standing by my side.

Anyone could be a spy planted by 'The Organization' to monitor you, even pushing the experimental data forward, including... a dog." Damian's words sent a chill down my spine. Although he mentioned only a dog, it was a clear metaphor for everyone involved.
"Ever seen 'The Truman Show'?" Damian spoke again. "Art imitates life, but life always surpasses art." I clenched my fists, looking at Colin.
Everyone... Were they all just pawns placed around me? Was Colin one of them too? In my memory, there was this scene... Colin, in agony, holdingas I was covered in blood, stoppingfrom hurting myself. He said, "Phoebe... I have nothing. I'm just a piece used to play their games. I can live without the whole world, but not without you..." Belief is the drive and courage for a person to keep living.
And Phoebe was Colin's belief and courage.
"Phoebe, stop hurting yourself, please." "My tis running out," Damian remindedagain.
The 'Rebellion Syndicate's' protest ghad evidently caused a significant butterfly effect. The higher-ups were taking seriously, meaning the capital behind Gene-Forge Collective was about to start cleaning house.
I had thought Melody would be the one they'd eliminate, but Damian was on the list too.
I guessed that before the cops could get to Damian, the capital behind the scenes would ensure he was silenced forever.

Damian didn't have much tleft, and there was still so much we needed to know.
"About your parents' death, I'm sorry," Damian said as we got into the car.
He was talking about Phoebe's parents.
"As for your father..." Damian's gaze fell on Colin. "His death was purely his own doing. Openly opposing 'The Organization' was like a moth to a flame." Colin frowned.
