"By using George to threaten Jeanne." Alex explained, "Jeanne is the mastermind behind all this, and the only way I can think of to keep her in check is George."

"For the country, many people will have to be sacrificed. Edward will understand."
"I don't think we have to use George to achieve that," Finn expressed his opinion. "Moreover, we might not be able to achieve what we want."

Perhaps even Edward did not know.
