His eyes suddenly turned cold and deep. He locked his gaze on Eli tightly as he suppressed the anger within him. He asked in a cold voice, "You and Haward's?" "No, I found her," After replying, Eli suddenly realized that she was not in a dream. She looked at Sean in shock. "You-you, how- how did you come here?" Sean narrowed his eyes. "Do you not want me here?" Eli immediately turned around, and Sean held onto her arm. He was much stronger than her and she couldn't shrug him off. She shouted anxiously, "Haward, Haward!" Sean had an extremely frigid look on his face. She was screaming for her husband as if she was being molested. He covered Eli's mouth and pulled her to a tree nearby. "Calling for Haward to catch me, huh?" Eli fell silent and scanned him. His gaze was like that of a bunny. He was apprehensive, scared yet helpless. Even though he had come with good intentions, she was still intimidated by him. "I just want
"I'm sorry. I need to let the Chief know. Please wait a moment." "Let me call Jasper," Sean said. He took out the phone that Jasper had given him before and dialed a number. "Jasper, it's me, Sean. Do you know what happened?" Sean asked in a deep voice. "Yes," Jasper replied. He had the God's Eyes and his men had been following Sean 24 hours a day, so naturally, he was very clear about what had happened. "I appreciate your help, but this is enough. You don't have to arrange the rest for me. I'll go by myself," Sean said firmly. "It's too dangerous for you to be in D Country." "The most dangerous place is the place they'll least expect me to be. I have plenty of my men hidden in D Country." Jasper was silent for three seconds and said in a low voice, "I will instruct someone to give you ten million dollars. If you run into any danger, contact me. My men will stay in D Country for the time being." "Okay," Sean smiled. "Thank you. Money is n
"As for the environmental factor, so far all our data shows that we have met the appropriate standard of air quality control. We'll build protective walls and plant trees so that we can have more greenery. Our clean water movement has also been pretty efficient so we will keep that up. Additionally, we plan to build a garden on the sixth floor to effectively absorb dust and promote a healthy oxygen cycle." Stella nodded and said, "After the meeting, have a discussion with the Planning Department. We should get our greenery projects done before we begin construction. We don't want to cause pollution." "Alright," the Leader of Environmental Protection replied. "For livelihood, after our last discussion, we decided to increase the funds for education as well as family planning. We won't make any changes to the pensions. Ninety-nine percent of our produce will be coming from an organic farm. Apart from that, at present, we outsource our clothing and medicine. I suggest w
Stella smiled slightly. "It seems that working at the hospital has put a lot of pressure on you. I understand you feel ashamed and that you have no standing in the workforce there. You don't have any other skillsets, yet you would feel bored just staying at home taking care of your child. The best thing to do is to come back to my place. Plus, you will get to see Elvis more. If everything goes well, you can also bring Starry over during the day right?" Having been exposed by Stella, Anthea felt even more humiliated. However, when she thought about it again, she recalled that Stella was an expert psychologist. It was only natural that she couldn't conceal her true intentions from Stella's observations, so she might as well just come clean. "That's what I think. Madam Shine often goes on business trips, and you are busy with work. Needless to say, the Chief is even busier. At least I could do some cooking and cleaning around here." "Okay, just stay then. Bring Starry over. On
Eli walked in absent-mindedly and looked at Sean, who was sitting in his chair. After three years, he had gone from having nothing to being on top of his game again. His strategies were stronger than before when he had been President. With the blink of an eye, he could destroy a person's life. In the past, no matter how evil Sean had been, Eli wasn't afraid. But, in front of Alastair, her hair stood on end. His methods, abilities, power, and decisiveness made others shudder. Eli took a deep breath and said, "They said you caught Haward." The corners of Sean's mouth curled up, and there was no warmth in his eyes. With ridicule, he said, "Correction, it was the police who caught Haward, not me. Your husband has done many bad things. As his wife, shouldn't you know? He deserves it." "He didn't do any of those things," Eli's eyes were bloodshot. "Trading firearms and dealing drugs are both very serious crimes. Yet you're saying that isn't him
Sean smiled insidiously. "Haward is guilty. He deserves to be punished by the law. I'm just a businessman. I can't save him even if I want to. As for my son, Haward has already been captured, so do you think you could still keep him from me?" "So, why did you bring me here?" Eli narrowed her eyes and looked him up and down. The man looked extremely cold and indifferent. "Was I the one that brought you here? Didn't you come here on your own? Or did you think that I would let Haward go as long as you were willing to be with me? Sorry to disappoint, but in my eyes, you're worth less than trash. I have no interest in you whatsoever," Sean said sarcastically. He was arrogant, cocky, and full of swagger. Eli smiled. She didn't have anything else to say. She took a deep breath and said, "I'll leave the child to you then. You don't have to snatch him away from me. I hope that you can let me see Haward." Sean's gaze was ice cold. "Sorry, I can't do that." Eli
Hodge was solemn. He glanced at Eli warily. "Are you being serious?" "I'm kinda proud that such a bigshot like yourself is so scared of me. Of course, I'm being serious. It's bad enough that you're a simpleton. So, why would I lie to you?" Eli looked out of the window with a smile. "Do you see Century Tower over there? It's the tallest building in D Country. If I jump down from that height, I'll die for sure." Hodge examined Eli's face. Eli looked at him flatly. "Give me a chance to see Haward, and you'll have no more worries. It's probably better if you don't tell Sean about it though, in case he questions you. With your power, I have faith that you'll be able to do it." "Are you really planning to jump down from the Century Tower?" Hodge asked suspiciously. "A life worse than death right? Why not die instead? I'll say it for the last time, I'm ready," Eli said calmly. "Then I'll arrange for you to meet Haward tonight. When do you plan to jump?"
Haward felt that her last sentence was a little strange. Was she not planning to see him off when he died? He thought about it more, but it made sense. After all, there was no way Sean would allow her to be there. He didn't want Eli to be upset when she noticed the disappointment in his face. Instead, he smiled widely and finished the wine in his glass. There was a knock on the door. Hodge pushed the door open and came in. He looked at Eli and said, "It's time for you to go." "His blanket is too thin. Could you change it to a thicker one tonight?" Eli asked. Hodge looked at Eli's pleading face and agreed. "I'll get someone to send a thicker one over later." Eli smiled and looked back at Haward, waving her hand. "See you again, Haward." He liked the meaning behind that phrase. "Yes, see you again." Eli turned her back against him and immediately, her tears flowed down like a river. She didn't want Haward to hear her sob, so she quickly wen
