Chapter 517 Facade


    Wi’s heart trembled and she subconsciously bent her fingers.


    "You didn''t examine it?" The old man squinted his eyes.


    "Yes. I examined it already," Wi replied hesitantly.


    The old man stared at the huge diamond. “ What about inside the diamond?"


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Wi suddenly became flustered as she replied, "Don''t worry, master. Julian won’t figure us out.


    This ring is perfectly fine.”


    She would have to disassemble the diamond if she wanted to examine the


    inner part. It would be a waste to do that.


    "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," the old man said apathetically. "


    We have to check through the diamond.


    Wi''s hands drew up into tight fists. After a long while, as if she remembered something, she


    hastily said, “In my opinion, master, this ring is different from other presents. If we destroy the


    diamond, the ring can''t be worn anymore. Wouldn''t it be even more suspicious if Julian asked and I


    couldn''t take the ring out?"


    The old man was stunned for a moment before nodding. "You have a point.”


    Wi''s eyes glowed up in joy as she continued, "Besides, so long as the virus in her body remains


    dormant, her condition should be better and better. I guess Julian is here to thank us."


    "Thank us?" The old man looked at Wi with a half-smile tugging at the tips of his lips. "I guess he


    is here for you. He seems to like you a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn''t give you a ring either.”


    Wi’s cheeks flushed pink as she said," Please don''t make fun of me, master."


    "I''m not making fun of you. Anyway, it doesn''t matter." The old man said, "It''ll be good news to our


    organization if you can make Julian Shaw fall for you. This is an excellent opportunity and you


    should work hard on it. If you ever seed, I’ll give you a reward."


    Wi’s eyes lit up as she nodded profusely. "I''ll do my best."


    The hard lines on the old man’s face melted away when he chuckled deep.


    Then, his gaze became gentle as he said," Watch out for yourself. Julian Shaw is not an easy


    opponent. He is callous and cruel. I guess you still remember what he did to you in the past, right?”


    Wi''s face turned ashen pale at the mention of her past. Nevertheless, she soon recollected


    herself and said, "Things are different now, master. In the past, I was nothing but an ordinary


    woman. Then, there was Susan who kept sowing discord between us, and most importantly Julian


    didn''t like me at all. So it went without saying that he wouldn''t go easy on me. However, I am not the


    same as I used to be. The fact that he came all the way here and gave me a ring means that he has


    already fallen for me. I''ve lost once, I’ll never lose again."


    "Well, just keep that in mind and don''t do anything overboard." The old man nodded.


    "I''m sure I''ll seed," Wi said solemnly." Sooner orter, Julian Shaw will be mine."


    In the room.


    "I''m sure I’ll seed." Wi''s voice wafted out from Julian''s phone at the same time, and he could


    not help but squint his eyes.


    He had installed a bug in the diamond of the ring.


    Truth be told, Julian was pretty certain that Wi had a thing for him. He was betting on whether or


    not she would destroy the diamond, and now, it seemed to him that he had hit the jackpot.


    Surges of disgust welled up from his heart whenever he thought about the feelings Wi had for


    him. Despite that, he felt it was still worth it to hold back the nauseating sensation and send the ring.


    At the very least, he had sessfully obtained quite some information by eavesdropping on their


    conversation.


    Wi and her master belonged to a certain organization in which the objective remained unknown.


    However, it did not perturb Julian much since he was certain that he would figure it out soon through


    the bugging device.


    What bothered him the most was the next thing. From the conversation, he knew that Wi had a


    feud with him in the past. He probably had done something to her, and apparently, the reason for


    him to do so was due to rtionship issues.


    The name of the woman who carried a torch for him and got targeted by him went without saying.


    The light swayed against the darkness. A hint of coldness shed across Julian''s eyes as the


    woman''s name spilled from his lips. "Isabelle Shelby."


    Only Isabelle fit all the criteria. After connecting all the dots, Julian finally knew


    Wi''s true identity.


    Apparently, Wi was the one behind the drug incident and Miss Lincoln''s death.


    Isabelle had the ability to get her hand on Miss Lincoln''spromising photos.


    Since she was still alive and she had changed her identity into Wi, it was both natural and right


    that she would take revenge against her.


    His mother''s body had been permanently damaged by the drug. Unfortunately, it was Chesney who


    put the drug in, and Susan was pulled into the mess.


    If the rtionship between him and Susan was not stronger than what Wi had expected, her n


    would have seeded and his family would''ve been destroyed.


    Julian soon figured out the entire incident regarding Miss Lincoln''s suicide as well.


    If it were Wi alone, she would not be able to kill Miss Lincoln since she was not at the


    kindergarten at that time. However, since she belonged to an organization, it went without saying


    that other people would be there to cooperate with her.


    The entire incident was clear as a bright sky now. After Julian figured the entire thing out, the dark


    glint in his eyes deepened.


    Isabelle''s tactic was the same as before. Casting a bone between them and creating some


    nonsense misunderstandings were Isabelle’s specialty.


    If everybody hadn''t thought that Isabelle was dead, he would have listed the woman as one of his


    top suspects.


    Be that as it may, even if he knew about Wi’s true identity, several mysteries still


    remained unsolved.


    For example, what was the organization that Wi and her master belonged to, and what was their


    objective?


    When he mulled over everything, he was the one who pushed Isabelle over the edge, andter on,


    she was nearly burned to death by Joseph. Both of them were Isabelle''s object of reprisal.


    On his side, Isabelle directed all her wrath at Susan. Joseph nearly killed her, so he assumed that


    she would not help him cure his brothers willingly. Therefore, the so-called antidote must be the


    object she used to exact her revenge n.


    Julian had never wanted to fight this war alone. After he saved the recording on his phone, he went


    straight to Joseph and told him all his conjectures.


    Joseph was bewildered after he listened to what Julian said.


    After a long while, only then did he reply in a hazy trance, "Wi... Is Isabelle?"


    "Only Isabelle fits the criteria," Julian said calmly. "I think that''s enough to prove that there''s


    something wrong with them."


    "Hold on, hold on."


    Rubbing his temples, Joseph paced back and forth in the room for a long time before gritting his


    teeth and said, "If Isabelle is still alive, it means that the man who I asked to stay behind lied to me.


    There is a chance that he is also a member of the organization."


    "I think so too.” Julian nodded, but he made no furtherments.


    The man meant nothing to him, but it was a different case for Joseph. Joseph treated all his


    brothers wholeheartedly, so he certainly would not feel good betrayed by one of his trusted


    confidants.
