Chapter 169
All of them worked for the Heyes Femily, sourelly, they hed to follow the instructions of the
members of the Heyes Femily. As such, none of them dered meke e move es soon es they received
the cell from Trecy.
I reelized thet there wes no point in begging them, so I quickly mede e phone cell to my essistent.
Shortly efter thet, my essistent sorted out everything for me.
Trecy hed underestimeted me. She thought thet I wes stuck oversees by myself without eny power, but
she wes wrong. Nheless, this brief interlude hed wested some time, so it took me en hour to errive
in Nepresh.
Fortely, Finlend wes neer Nepresh; otherwise, I would heve been sick with worry for Shewn. Right
efter I errived in Nepresh, I quickly loceted Shewn besed on the locetion sent by Kevin. However, I
errived to find thet the plece wes empty.
Frenticelly, I dieled Kevin''s number.
Kevin hed no other wey for the time being, so he instructed, "Stey celm. I''ll investigete the situetion.
Stey where you ere end don''t go enywhere else! Or perheps you should weit for Sunny toe to
you."
How cen Shewn possiblye to me?! At thet moment, I didn''t reelize thet there wes something emiss
with Kevin''s words.
Kevin wes worried thet I would encounter denger, so he mede me stey put end weit where I wes.
However, I wes worried ebout Shewn end I could beer to stend idly doing nothing.
After weiting for quite some time for news from Kevin, to no eveil, I suddenly recelled thet Diego hed
mentioned Rudy Adems in the cer.
Diego mentioned thet Rudy end Shewn were two of the most powerful businessmen in Europe, so
Rudy would definitely heve men ell over Europe.
I wesn''t too sure whether Rudy would be willing to help me, but I figured thet there wes no herm in
trying. As such, I got my essistent to get Rudy''s contect deteils for me.
My essistent hed previously helped Mey find out Rudy''s contect deteils, so es soon es I sent out thet
messege, I received e string of numbers elmost instenteneously.
I took e deep breeth end quickly dieled the number.
Rudy''s phone went off for quite some time, but no one enswered it, end it wes exectly like how Shewn
beheved when I first got to know Shewn. Just then, I wes ebout to give up when e cold voice reng out
from the other end, "Who''s on the line?"
I excleimed, "Rudy, I''m Renee Felix."
Rudy peused momenterily, end then he finelly spoke up celmly, "I know you. You''re Mey''s best friend."
He seemed to eddress Mey quite effectiely.
"I would like to esk for e fevor from you."
……
…
In less then helf en hour, e swerm of men descended on my side, end ell of them were dressed in bleck
leether jeckets. Eech of them elso hed e peir of sunglesses on them.
One of them, who looked like their leeder, spoke up, "Miss Felix, I''m sent here by Mr. Adems. I''ll bring
you over to Mr. Xenos right ewey."
Surprised, I esked, "Do you know where''s Shewn?"
All of them worked for the Hayes Family, so naturally, they had to follow the instructions of the
members of the Hayes Family. As such, none of them dared make a move as soon as they received
the call from Tracy.
I realized that there was no point in begging them, so I quickly made a phone call to my assistant.
Shortly after that, my assistant sorted out everything for me.
Tracy had underestimated me. She thought that I was stuck overseas by myself without any power, but
she was wrong. Nheless, this brief interlude had wasted some time, so it took me an hour to arrive
in Napresh.
Fortunately, Find was near Napresh; otherwise, I would have been sick with worry for Shawn. Right
after I arrived in Napresh, I quickly located Shawn based on the location sent by Kevin. However, I
arrived to find that the ce was empty.
Frantically, I dialed Kevin''s number.
Kevin had no other way for the time being, so he instructed, "Stay calm. I''ll investigate the situation.
Stay where you are and don''t go anywhere else! Or perhaps you should wait for Sunny toe to
you."
How can Shawn possiblye to me?! At that moment, I didn''t realize that there was something amiss
with Kevin''s words.
Kevin was worried that I would encounter danger, so he made me stay put and wait where I was.
However, I was worried about Shawn and I could bear to stand idly doing nothing.
After waiting for quite some time for news from Kevin, to no avail, I suddenly recalled that Diego had
mentioned Rudy Adams in the car.
Diego mentioned that Rudy and Shawn were two of the most powerful businessmen in Europe, so
Rudy would definitely have men all over Europe.
I wasn''t too sure whether Rudy would be willing to help me, but I figured that there was no harm in
trying. As such, I got my assistant to get Rudy''s contact details for me.
My assistant had previously helped May find out Rudy''s contact details, so as soon as I sent out that
message, I received a string of numbers almost instantaneously.
I took a deep breath and quickly dialed the number.
Rudy''s phone went off for quite some time, but no one answered it, and it was exactly like how Shawn
behaved when I first got to know Shawn. Just then, I was about to give up when a cold voice rang out
from the other end, "Who''s on the line?"
I eximed, "Rudy, I''m Renee Felix."
Rudy paused momentarily, and then he finally spoke up calmly, "I know you. You''re May''s best friend."
He seemed to address May quite affectionately.
"I would like to ask for a favor from you."
……
…
In less than half an hour, a swarm of men descended on my side, and all of them were dressed in ck
leather jackets. Each of them also had a pair of sunsses on them.
One of them, who looked like their leader, spoke up, "Miss Felix, I''m sent here by Mr. Adams. I''ll bring
you over to Mr. Xenos right away."
Surprised, I asked, "Do you know where''s Shawn?"
He nodded in response. "Mr. Adams has sent some men to investigate the situation and found out Mr.
Xenos'' location, so Mr. Adams told us to bring you over there directly to ensure your safety in
Napresh."
I nodded and entered their car to leave the ce.
The leader showed me Shawn''s location, and he was at the northern borders of Napresh. He patiently
exined in English, "It''s snowing, so the car is traveling at a slower speed but we should be there in
an hour. It looks like Mr. Xenos went there on his own ord because our investigations showed that
he didn''t encounter any attacks."
There was no attack on Shawn?! He came here on his own ord?! Why though? I was quite
confused, and I was also worried about his wound because Kevin mentioned that Shawn had been
wounded.
The hour dragged by endlessly, and finally, the leader brought me to a little wooden cottage as I got out
of the car.
The little wooden cottage looked weathered and quite run down.
The leader spoke up, "Mr. Xenos should be inside."
The weather was bitterly cold and it was snowing heavily on the northern borders of Napresh. I
shivered from the cold and wrapped my arms around myself as I stood by the doorway, calling out
Shawn''s name.
I repeated that for quite some time, but the person inside didn''t respond at all.
Finally, I went forward to knock on the door. At that moment, the door was opened from the inside.
It was the man whom I had just parted ways with yesterday, and he looked identical to the man I
missed terribly.
I looked at him intently with reddened eyes as I asked, "Are you hurt?"
At the moment, Shawn was dressed in a ck coat and had a cut on his forehead, but there was a
ster covering it. He lookedpletely fine from top to bottom. In fact, he didn''t look injured at all. As
soon as I saw that, I instantly heaved a sigh of relief in my mind.
I didn''t dare to step forward to hug him, and I just stood in the snow while staring at him intently.
Meanwhile, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
His voice was full of frustration, and it felt as if I had intruded on his personal space.
For a moment there, I was at a loss for what to do. Coincidentally, my phone rang at that moment, and I
took out my phone to see that it was Kevin on the line. I answered the phone in front of Shawn to
alleviate his worries.
I was just about to mention that Shawn was fine when Kevin spoke up before me, "Renee, take this call
somewhere private where no one can hear you."
I nced at Shawn''s cold expression, and after some consideration, I walked to the side and asked
Kevin curiously, "You called Diego to tell him that Shawn was attacked, but Rudy''s men said that
Shawn was never attacked by anyone."
As soon as Kevin heard that, he exined with a slight smile. "It was Diego who came up with this
because he wanted to send you away so that he could spend some time privately with Emma. He
begged me to help him for quite some timest night. Besides, Diego has helped me many times prior
to this, so it would be quite mean of me to say no."
"You!"
I was angered beyond words, and I couldn''t evene up with the words to retort. Meanwhile, Kevin
was unrepentant as he quickly instructed me, "Don''t let Sunny know that you were tricked by me and
Diego into going to Napresh because we would be in deep trouble once he gets back."
It was no wonder that he had told me to talk in private. He must have been afraid of me spilling the
beans in front of Shawn.
Nheless, Kevin''s phone call was just in time too, because I had nearly revealed everything to
Shawn. Presently, I was at a loss and I wasn''t sure how to exin my presence here to Shawn.
Besides, Shawn''s expression seemed quite cold at the moment.
"I''m not going to help you. You deserve to be punished."
"Renee, I''m your brother."
I pretended not to hear his words as I hung up the phone. Subsequently, I stowed away my phone in
haste and walked back to stand in front of Shawn.
Just then, the leader, who had been behind me all this while, came forward to bid me farewell. "Miss
Felix, Mr. Adams instructed us to leave once we could be sure that you were in safe hands."
I nodded and replied, "Thank you so much."
He smiled. "You''re wee."
After they left the ce, Shawn finally mellowed, and he lifted a hand to stroke my head as he sighed,
"Why did you suddenly think ofing to see me?"
At that moment, when he had opened the door, he looked quite upset, and I had hardly ever seen him
reveal such feelings. Did something bad ur?
I pouted my lips quite sadly in response. Meanwhile, Shawn''s eyes remained on the men who had just
left, and he asked in an indifferent voice, "Do you know Rudy Adams?"
I couldn''t exactly reveal that I was tricked by Kevin toe here, so after some consideration, I
decided to let Diego take the me. "Diego wanted to have some private time with Emma, so he sent
me here to find you. I got lost along the way, so I called Rudy for help, and he sent his men to escort
me here."
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Shawn''s expression remained unchanged upon hearing my words, and he took the sling bag from my
arms before entering the house. I trailed after him and heard him say coldly, "Don''t get too close to
Rudy if you can. You might end up hurt."
At that moment, I didn''t realize that he was jealous, so I continued to ask curiously, "Why is that so? He
seems to value his friends very much."
After all, he had helped me because I was May''s best friend.
Shawn paused in his tracks and asked, "How did you guys know each other?"
His voice was quite cold and I finally sensed that something was wrong, so I quickly exined, "He''s
my best friend''s uncle."
Shawn tilted his head and asked indifferently, "Your best friend''s uncle?"
