Yvonne raised her head and looked at 'Natasha' with tears in her eyes. "I couldn't possibly let Hodge expose me. He must die before Sean gets to interrogate him." "I'll get to it right now. You should calm your emotions and make sure that Sean doesn't find out about this. He's too smart and intuitive," 'Natasha' instructed. "Please be careful, Natasha. I won't be able to live too if you ever get caught," Yvonne exclaimed. 'Natasha' nodded and quickly left the President's Mansion. ...... Eli was full after having her meal. She returned to her room and wondered if she could visit Stella. However, she was troubled at the thought of her mother and how Stella had betrayed her. The more one cared about another person, the harder it would be for them to be forgiven. This was the irony of life. Eli pondered upon the thought and became annoyed when she couldn't come to a decision. She decided to play a few games to ease her tension but her guilt r
"However, I could certainly say that he has feelings for you," Yvonne's eyes flashed in an instant. The glint quickly disappeared as she spoke with a smile. Eli pointed towards her head and spoke with disdain, "It's either there's something wrong with his brain, or he simply doesn't have good taste." Yvonne was amused by Eli's response, "You are very funny. I believe that that's your biggest advantage." "If humor counts as an advantage, then I guess it would be my second advantage," Eli said thoughtfully. "What's the first then?" Yvonne asked curiously as she placed the flowers onto the table gingerly. Eli relaxed her shoulders and said, "I'm lazy." Yvonne laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face. She held her stomach and said, "You're so funny." Eli sighed. Could she say that she wasn't joking at all? "Please go ahead with your work. I'll take a stroll and won't disturb you anymore," Eli said as she excused herself politely. El
Sean was overwhelmed with excitement. He leaned towards Eli, lifted her chin, and kissed her on her lips. Eli regretted her decision instantly. She was far too reckless and she had simply promised Sean another child before even thinking about it through. However, she could feel a sense of softness in her heart when she saw how excited Sean was. She felt as though her heart was melting. Eli knew nothing apart from bearing another child for him. After all, she had gotten pregnant after having had a one-night-stand with Sean. She had been in good shape when she got pregnant, so their son had inherited a good immunity system and he rarely got sick. It seemed that the only thing she could do was to give Sean another child. However, she was unwilling to be used as a tool that was only meant for giving birth. Hence, she took a step back, faced Sean's bright smile, and gulped back the words that she was about to say. "Eli, I'm very happy right now. You have finall
A trace of jealousy flashed across Yvonne's eyes instantaneously. Sean was always concerned about Eli's welfare. He was even considerate enough to take note of her meal timings. The better he was treating Eli, the more Yvonne wanted Sean for herself. If only she had gotten Sean's heart, then he would've treated her the same way he had treated Eli. She would definitely be able to win his heart since she was much better than Eli in every aspect. Moreover, she was already Sean's wife. As long as she didn't agree to a divorce, no one could force it on her. Time was on her side and she still stood a chance. The jealousy in her eyes disappeared in a flash. She mustn't let Sean find out. "Alright, what about our schedule then? When are we going to the orphanage?" Yvonne's voice sounded stiff when she asked Sean about business-related matters. Sean replied with a slight frown as suspicion flashed across his eyes, "You'll be able to get th
"Sean, something has happened to Trenton from the Department of Education," Yvonne spoke nervously. "Trenton? What happened to him?" Sean said calmly as he looked at Yvonne. Two days ago, reports were claiming that Trenton had embezzled 670 million dollars to support his two mistresses. According to the standard of procedures, Trenton would have to leave the political party and go to prison within the following week. "Trenton was just found dead in his room. It didn't seem like suicide as his head was decapitated. There are also 18 stabs on his face, and his eyes had been gauged out. There are even signs of him being suffocated as there was a piece of paper in his mouth. It wrote: This secret will disappear with him. His hands were tied and he was on the floor, so it was unlikely that he had written it. The problem is, it was a secret room, so no one could have entered," Yvonne felt a little terrified as she explained the situation. "I think we could turn to Ste
"Trenton is Quinn's subordinate. There will be a lot of problems in consequence of his death," Sean simply said in reply. "What about it?" "A three-way relationship is definitely the most stable. Each element will depend on one another for a balance of power. Jasper, Christian, and Quinn are the big three. Zoah, Travis, and Chuck are next in line. After Jasper's death, Anthony's powers were greatly affected as he didn't have the strength. After all, he wasn't like Jasper, who was born with complicated relations that came alongside Steven, so he could not take the position of the three giants. Christian had been severely suppressed by Stella to the point of resignation. Although he still has some connections, he has suffered the most among the three. The only big shot left is Quinn. If he wasn't suppressed and given room to continue growing, he will definitely be the next President," Sean said seriously as a cold light flashed in his eyes. Eli's heart skipp
"The Director of the Department of Education was murdered." "That's expected. After all, he knows too much. Quinn wouldn't let him go to court like that," Bellamy shared the same sentiments with Sean. "He died in a special way. I might be able to find some clues if I go over," Stella pondered the clues that Sean had just explained. "You don't have to do this. There are professionals there. Sean is just using you as a tool. He wants a scapegoat, and you are the perfect candidate," Bellamy snorted as he spoke. "Sean wants to test his luck, while Quinn and Christian are in the same boat. Sean staying as the President is the safest choice for us. Even if I have to be a scapegoat, I will have to take that responsibility to ensure our future," Stella made a decision. Bellamy stared at Stella. He had gotten to know her better after having spent all this time with her. Truth be told, he had already known her for at least five years ever since he dreamed of h
"Were there signs of the room being searched?" Stella asked Benjamin. "No. This I am sure," Benjamin replied. "Wasn't the murderer worried about the evidence? If he was, he would have been looking for it everywhere, wouldn't he?" Stella asked in suspicion. "There are two possibilities. It's either that the murderer was confident about getting the evidence, or Trenton's testimony itself is the evidence. Since he is dead now, so no one knows about the secret anymore," Benjamin guessed. "If that's the case, then those around Trenton should be in danger as well. Since he has killed Trenton, then why didn't he kill Mrs. Zane too?" Stella felt surprised as she glanced at the room once more. She had a bad feeling. "Perhaps he murdered Trenton not to destroy the evidence, but because he held a grudge against him," Benjamin guessed again. "If it was a grudge, then killing Trenton right before he is going to jail is too big of a coincidence. Besides, it is als
