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
"Of course, otherwise, I would not have asked you to help with the investigation," Sean agreed. "We will not be able to continue with the interrogation. The murderer is hiding not far from here, and there are cameras placed all over the room. Investigating the scene itself will take a long time. There might even be a bomb planted there too. It is getting late, which will be bad for our energy and state of mind too. I suggest we continue our interrogation tomorrow, Mr. President. What do you think?" Stella asked seriously. "Sure. The most important thing now is to deal with the situation online. As for everything else, we will find another time tomorrow. Mr. Zellweger, what do you think?" Sean asked Quinn. Quinn looked very awkward, he then said with a smile, "On one hand, Miss Grace is not a government official; on the other hand, she is not a police official. Mrs. Zane is the most important witness right now. It won't be appropriate to take her back."
"However, if he does not die today, then my son and I will. When I was washing dishes in the kitchen, I received a message from Quinn. He told me that if anyone asked about what secrets I knew, I had to say that the President has an illegitimate son," Mrs. Zane told her everything she knew. A light flashed through Stella's eyes. What a close call. If the public knew that Sean had an illegitimate child, not only would he be in trouble and irredeemable from the public, but Eli would get in trouble too. She must not let anything happen to Eli. "Are you willing to testify against Quinn?" Stella asked. "Will you be able to ensure me and my son's safety?" Mrs. Zane pleaded. Stella thought about it seriously. She was not someone who simply made promises. If she made a promise, she would definitely fulfill it. Otherwise, she would not be able to feel at peace. She thought of ways to protect Mrs. Zane and her child, "Yes, I will try my best. But,
"You should be more careful from now on. Quinn told Mrs. Zane that you have an illegitimate son. Although he might not have the evidence, he might still have other tricks up his sleeve. I don't want Eli to be in danger. We have already got her parents killed. We can't allow her to get hurt again," Stella said seriously. Sean said, "Alright." "The only people who know about you and Eli's relationship are me, Frederick, and Christian. If Frederick wanted to, he would have exposed you early on. But Christian, he is a ticking time bomb," Stella was worried. "He is in hiding right now. He won't come to me unless he has absolutely no choice. As of now, Quinn is the real threat. He is too ambitious now. Losing Trenton is not a big deal to him. Unlike Christian, who has since left the court." Stella understood what he meant. He did not want Christian to be involved for the time being. She was a little annoyed, but she noticed that they were nearing the hospital, so she
