    Chapter 781


    Jewel waved her hand casually and pointed to the signature on the page before saying, “Mr. Amos


    White.”


    Ellen was shocked once again as she asked excitedly, “Is this a portrait done by Old Mr. White? How


    did you manage tomission a portrait of me from him?”


    Yet, Jewel merely revealed a smile.


    The happiest thing on earth was having one’s efforts recognized by the other party.


    It was not much about the price of the portrait nor the sentiment behind it, but the fact that the drawing


    was done by Amos White; in other words, it was a priceless possession. Moreover, this was his final


    production before retirement.


    Ellen was very excited about the gift and she could not help checking out the portrait repeatedly. “I


    heard of this master in calligraphy and drawing before, and he’s very famous. Jewel, I can’t believe you


    managed tomission a portrait of me from Old Mr. White. This is such a nice surprise!”


    Jewel shot a look at Olivia, indicating to her to exin the situation as it would take Jewel too long to


    exin.


    As such, Olivia smiled and said, “Jewel did Old Mr.


    White a huge favor before, so he promised that he would grant her a single wish. That’s why she


    requested for him to draw you a portrait.”


    Ellen responded, “Gosh, you’ve used up such a precious request on me. I love it so much. It’s such a


    great painting and I look stunning.”


    On the morning of the third day, Kyle brought Theodore over.


    As soon as Theodore saw Eugene, he was dumbfounded and clearly did not expect that Eugene would


    have figured out he was involved within such a short timeframe.


    Although he did not receive any update regarding the assassin that night, he did hear through the


    grapevine that Eugene had set off to Promise Ind.


    As such, Theodore had assumed that it was a sessful attempt and Eugene had gone to the ind


    to pay his final respect.


    Besides, if worse came to worst, even if the attempt was a failure, Theodore was sure that Eugene


    would not be able to link this matter to him. He knew that the assassin syndicate had their own


    unspoken rules and they would never ever reveal the identity of the person who employed them.


    As such, even when Kyle hade for him, he maintained some shred of confidence that perhaps


    Lara was the suspect, so Kyle hade after him to probe for some information.


    Presently, Theodore was trussed up and left on the ground. Meanwhile, Eugene sat on the chair


    opposite him and maintained azy stance before speaking casually, “You’re quite loyal, huh? Lara has


    already been taken into custody and yet you’re still out here taking risks for her. What exactly did she


    promise you?”


    Theodore had a n in mind and he intended to deny it vehemently, so he replied indifferently, “I don’t


    even know what you’re on about.”


    Eugene responded, “You posted on the Will-o’-Wisp HQ website seeking to hire an assassin. Do you


    really think that I would not find that out?”


    Lifting his head in surprise, Theodore wore a stunned expression on his face. He actually managed to


    find out the identity of the person who posted on the website? How can that be possible? Their official


    website maintains the highest level of confidentiality so an ordinary person would not be able to hack


    into the system. How did he do that?


    Eugene bent forward and moved closer to him. “Are you going to reveal everything willingly, or should I


    force it out of you?”


    Apprehended, Theodore felt for a moment there that he was doomed. He knew that the matter would


    be exposed sooner orter, but he did not expect that it would ur so soon. However, there was


    nothing much that he could say about it since Lara had treated him very well and he would never


    betray her.


    “What do you want me to say?”

    Eugene replied, “Who instructed you to do this?”


    Theodore answered defiantly, “No one. I didn’t like you and your mom suffered thanks to you.”


    As soon as he said that, Kyle instantly grabbed him by the hair and mmed his head on the ground


    several times. “Mr. Nn is asking you a question, so you’d better answer that properly if you don’t


    wanna crack open your skull.”


    After the bashing, Theodore saw stars while he bled on the forehead as blood trickled down from his


    face.


    Despite that, he revealed a smile. “Just kill me if you’re so great.”


    Yet, there was a sinister, cold smile that appeared on Eugene’s lips. “I can do that, but let me think


    about who I should start from. How about your son, first? Next, it will be your wife and finally, you’d be


    thest. By then, your family of three would be reunited…”
