Early the next morning, the bodyguards gave Kyle a call. Kyle then relayed the message to Chandler that Blood Red had left the city. But the mastermind behind the plot never made an appearance. It was as if they had already known that Blood Red was being tracked.The case was temporarily put on hold.As for the assassination attempts, Ian and Noah were still prime suspects.There was still no news about Noah. The Interpol had not provided any information either. Erin and the others were still high-strung, while the man remained nowhere to be found.Thus, the family went about their lives in disguises.Quentin, to elude Evelyn, left for Seaside City to look for his younger brother, Andrew. The authorities overseas had begun working on deporting Evelyn.Evelyn's surviving husband, Walter Gabelman, learned the news. He then told her about the deportation. It was tense in the home she shared with her two children. All three of them sat gloomily in the living room."Mom, Elina, and I
Three days later, Simon disguised himself and drove to a farmhouse in Jakovia. He was there to meet Erin's family.Erin and Chandler had been living at the farmhouse for the past two days, enjoying their mornings and tucking into delicious food. Asa was the happiest he had ever been!When Simon arrived, Asa was feeding a carrot to the baby animals. Simon was subjected to a thorough check by the surrounding "villagers" when he entered the farmhouse compound. It wasn't until Chandler talked to Kyle that Simon was released. To be fair, he looked like a brutish man.The "farmhouse" was a base and a vacation home for Chandler and his family.Asa was currently dressed as a village kid. He turned around to see a completely unrecognizable Simon walking into the compound.It was a perfect time for Simon to play a prank. He pretended to speak in a heavy accent that Asa couldn't understand. The child, who was confused, asked, "Who are you looking for, sir? I don't understand what you're sa
Chandler's tall and ruthless figure returned to roast the lambs. Sean said with a sigh, "How pitiful. I could have eaten all the finest food in the city, yet I was stupid enough to follow you guys and do hard labor. I don't even get packed lunch …" A voice sounded in front of him. "Okay. You can skip eating later.""Don't! I'm just kidding…"After secretly eating a large prawn, Sean walked over and asked, "Did you guys really let Blood Red go? Aren't you letting an assassin like him off too easily? He doesn't need to die and can still get the bounty! What a bargain!"Chandler replied nonchalantly, "Blood Red will still return to the city. According to the informant, Blood Red must find out who's behind all of us and return the money to that person. He's indeed a man of integrity."Sean furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "Are you saying that Ian is the person that sent Blood Red to kill you and your father? I don't think it's Noah. He seems swamped with things. Plus, the worldwide wa
The threatening letter caused Erin to break out in a cold sweat. She instinctively glanced in Chandler's direction. Alas, she was reminded of the letter's contents.There was a possibility that the kidnapper's informants were just around her. She could not let her guard down if that was the case.Firstly, she could not confirm the authenticity of the letter's content. Although Holly was missing and could not be contacted, there was a chance she was not kidnapped.Perhaps the other party was trying to deceive her.Erin pondered about the possibility of that happening.She could only say that there was a fifty percent chance of that happening. No matter if it was true or false, she could not tell Chandler. The informant could be anywhere, after all.At that moment, Chandler seemed to have finished talking and was heading toward her.Erin immediately kept the letter in her bag.When Chandler stood before her, he noticed her pale expression and the beads of sweat on her forehead.
Chandler suddenly said, "We can start from Barney. Since he refused to tell us who he was meeting, we can investigate it ourselves. Fresco Hotel's directly opposite Wyvern Hotel; the latter is known for being a great place to bring one's secret lovers there. All the employees there, from the manager to the janitor, are great at keeping their lips sealed.""You seem to know a lot about Wyvern Hotel's secret operations …" Erin's tone was cool and calm, but Chandler could hear the jealousy in it.He couldn't help feeling amused. "In the past, I wanted nothing more than for you to get jealous. Now that you really are, I find that I don't really enjoy it. So, this is what it's like when someone doesn't trust you …""Man, could you be any more suspicious? You twist everything I say! Fine, then. I won't say anything else!" Erin broke free of his embrace. She couldn't be bothered to speak to him anymore.Chandler smiled helplessly. "Oh, you … I only know about this because of my work. I ha
Judging from Ryder's current condition, Erin knew he couldn't hold out for much longer. She steeled herself and said, "It looks like … we don't have any other choice."Calla had a poker face on. "It's fine. It's a small issue." The sisters went into the room and considerately shut the door. That didn't do anything to block out the sound of Ryder's protests. Erin stood outside, feeling awkward. After some thought, she moved to stand a little further away.Sweat beaded over her forehead. What the hell was this situation? Could it be any more ridiculous? Ryder probably did think of her as a man if he could ask for her help in such a situation. But wait—if he thought of her as a man, could she help him? Couldn't he do it himself? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.Less than five minutes later, the door to the private room suddenly slammed open. Erin turned to see Ryder standing there. He stared at her with an ugly look on his face. She couldn't help blurting ou
Erin watched as the mountain torrent engulfed Chandler's Jeep. The other Jeep in front quickly accelerated and moved ahead; it stopped at a relatively safe place. All the Jeeps behind came to a screeching halt!After a while, rocks of various sizes rolled down the cliff due to the explosion. Things didn't look good for the Jeep submerged under the large boulders.Erin was stunned to see this. When she snapped back to her senses, she wished she could jump down the mountain and rush to Chandler's side immediately. She prayed fervently that he was okay."He will be fine ... He must be fine!" Erin muttered to herself, shaking like a leaf. She turned around to head down the mountain. She wanted to see Chandler and make sure he was alright.Yet, before she could reach the path leading down the mountain, her phone vibrated and rang aloud.Erin was shocked. She held the phone numbly and didn't speak to the criminals. Thus, they could only hang up and call again. A tingling sensation sprea
When Noah mentioned Chandler's name, Erin's heart sank as if it had fallen into an icy abyss. She had no idea whether Chandler was alive or dead.She couldn't afford to dwell on that question since her head was already throbbing. Erin knew that she couldn't slack off or panic. They were in a dangerous situation, and Holly was in a weak condition."You were a member of a prestigious family of jewelers with a net worth of over a hundred billion dollars. But you became an internationally wanted criminal for plotting against us. Was it all worth it?" Erin questioned him coldly, her eyes filled with contempt.Noah fell silent for a moment, but his eyes were still full of hatred.Erin then mocked him, "What kind of hatred drove you to commit such wicked deeds? Is it vengeance for the death of your father? Or was your wife snatched away from you?"Noah remained silent.Standing beside him, Whitney felt a bit curious. She didn't know how Noah's intense hatred for Chandler came to be.
