"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
"What about the food? Were there any problems with it?" Stella wondered. "I have sent a plane to pick him up. The forensic experts will examine the corpse. However, I think that the probability of anything being wrong with his food is very low. I have investigated the soldiers around him. There has not been a problem." "So, it is highly likely that he had committed suicide. It is indeed strange to encounter such an impossible crime like this, where there is no murderer, no communication records, and no final letters. Send me the surveillance footage. I will have a look at it once I go back. You have to protect Eli. If anything happens to her, Sean, I won't let you go," Stella warned him, her heart dripping with worry. "Don't worry. If something happens to her, I won't even forgive myself. As long as I am alive, I will protect her with my life. If I have to die, I will die in front of her," Sean promised. Stella believed in Sean, as much as she believed that Sean
"Isn't this because of your special circumstances? We distribute our workload and cooperate with each other, isn't that good?" Stella asked. "Do you think that this is a small matter? You are directly offending Quinn and confronting him head-on. His power and influence is something beyond your imagination. He could even..." Bellamy paused for a second. He was going to talk about Jasper, but he stopped and turned away. He was angry and his chest was heaving violently. "I have many people around me who will protect me. Nothing will happen to me. Don't be angry anymore," Stella held Bellamy's hand. Bellamy shoved her hand away, "It is easier to dodge an open bullet than one in the dark. If he insists on killing you, you may be able to escape it once or twice, but you can't hide from it forever. You know the strength of his subordinates. One cut and your head will fall to the ground. You are not alone anymore. You have a child inside you." "But, I will go crazy if y
Bellamy had told her that the assassination attempt was only part of his plan. There were times where she had suspected that Bellamy was not Jasper. However, she did not want to think about that anymore. If he was not Jasper, then where did the real Jasper go? She dared not think about it. As a psychologist, she had troubles that other people did not have, for she understood the nature of people too well. She knew that people would subconsciously reject pain and suffering. When faced with the truth, people would often choose to believe in the truth that they want to believe in. After all, everyone in this world had a subjective prejudice. She was no exception. "Elvis, Jasper is by my side now. I believe in him more than anyone. There are things that cannot be proven, and we must not think too much. It is not good for our judgment, and it will only get us in deeper waters. We should make a long-term plan about the secret which Mrs. Zane had plan
"However, that scientific research team is not an official group and they don't generally accept appointments. The reason why they had decided to rescue that agent was that the agent was the only one who knew the password, and the President had also approved the operation personally. They may not necessarily agree to help Mr. Milton this time around." "We need to engage their services no matter how much money it costs. If it doesn't work, bring everyone from the scientific research team here," Bellamy ordered. "The problem is, we don't know where they are right now, and we don't know how to reach them either. They are a very secret organization," the man said. "Well, you'd better find it fast then. Didn't you say that the President had supported it? The President should know something about it then. No matter what method you use, find them for me," Bellamy ordered. When Eli woke up the next morning, she found that Sean was no longer beside her. He didn't
If there was something between them, Yvonne would've deeply hated her instead of protecting her. Moreover, Hodge Turner had just committed suicide. Eli had intended to leave as soon as she discovered the murderer who had killed her mother and brought him to justice. However, if it weren't for Sean's investigation, Hodge wouldn't have been quickly exposed. In the end, it was Sean who had helped her. He had treated her so well. It wouldn't seem fair or kind if she had left once more. Should she stay instead? Eli's phone rang as she drank the milk in her glass. She quickly answered the phone when she realized that Sean had called. "Are you awake?" Sean asked with a smile on his face. "Of course I am. If I'm not awake, how could I answer your phone then? What's the matter? If there's something you want to tell me, just say it. I'm a little busy right now," Eli said as she prepared the dog food and was ready to feed it. "I'm going
"I threw my phone on the bed and decided to go for a walk. It's a good day today. I sat on the bench and slept for a while. Don't overthink. It's fine if you overthink but don't lose your temper with me. I didn't do anything wrong," Eli explained. Sean pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly for a brief moment. Eli's anger came quickly but it had dissipated rapidly as well. She was no longer angry. "You are not allowed to not pick up my calls in the future," Sean demanded. "What if I call you and you don't pick up?" Eli asked in return. "Then you could also lose your temper with me," Sean responded dotingly. "Why should I lose my temper just because of a small incident? I would've been dead by now if I were to make a big fuss whenever you did not pick up my calls." Sean preferred if she made a big fuss over it. At the very least, it meant that she cared about him. Sometimes, she was too easy-going and too open-minded. Eli
