Chapter 1709
After dinner, Levi and Monique were brought to Sheldon''s office again, once again at Neil''s behest.
Neil and Levi, the father and son, quarreled again. And once again, they parted on bad terms.
Especially in influential families like the Brown family, it was always that the father was powerful and
influential, while the son had grown used to being arrogant and domineering. It wasmonce
to see these types of fathers and sons bickering whenever they met. Thus, Sheldon did not concern
himself with the bickering between Neil and Levi.
No matter how bad the rtionship between Neil and Levi appeared on the surface, Neil could not
bear to abandon Levi after all. He was anxiously preparing the weapons that Sheldon wanted.
Sheldon ordered his subordinates to send Levi and Monique back to their rooms. He also secretly
instructed his subordinates to keep their eyes on the two of them. They were not to allow any
trouble to ur before the weapons were safely in their hands.
After returning to the room, Levi detracted from his usual yful tone and said seriously, "Mr. Hart''s
private ne will take off from Xanduvia City''s International Airport, Departure Hall T3, Gate C45 at
nine o''clock tomorrow morning. We need to arrive at the airport at least an hour in advance or we''ll
miss this opportunity."
Monique was puzzled. "We have to arrive by eight tomorrow morning?"
It was hard to tell the time. They had lost contact with the outside world for nearly 24 hours. How
could Levi know the exact time?
Levi patted Monique''s shoulder and continued, "Don''t ask me how I know that first. We only have
less than twelve hours left now. We''re pressed for time. We can''t make any mistakes in what we do
next."
"I got it." Monique held Levi''s hand and said, "I''ve confirmed that there''s a passage leading outside
in Sheldon''s office. As long as we can avoid the security guards patrolling outside the office, we''ll be
able to get inside smoothly. But now my concern is that Sheldon and Edward won''t be in the office
together at midnight."
"Silly girl, you don''t have to worry about this. Both of them definitely will be in the office at that time,"
Levi assured her. The reason why he was so certain was surely not because he could predict the
future, but it was because someone would cooperate with him to ensure that Sheldon and Edward
were there.
The feeling of not being able to catch up to Levi''s thought process gradually dawned on Monique. It
seemed as though everything was under his control; she knew very little about it. "How can you be
so certain?"
Levi tapped her head and asked, "You silly girl, do you think I got rebuked by Neil today for
nothing?"
"You mean Colonel Brown..." Monique came to an abrupt realization, but she didn''t think it was quite
possible.
She had been listening to the conversation between Levi and Colonel Brown that day. Other than
bickering, the two of them had not spoken normally. How had they been able to deliver the
message?

"Shh..." Levi raised his hand and pressed his slender fingers on Monique''s lips, saying, "It''s not the
time to ask these questions now. I''ll tell you everything when we return to Chatterton Town."
"Then I''ll make the necessary preparations now," Monique responded. It indeed wasn''t the time to
get to the bottom of the matter. She wouldn''t pester him foolishly to satisfy her curiosity.
"If you start preparing now, it''s as good as telling everyone that we have a n to get out of here,"
Levi said as he poked Monique''s head again. "You don''t need to think too much about it now. Since
there''s still some time, you can take a two-hour rest first. We''ll take action at 12 o''clock sharp
tonight. We have to get both Sheldon and Edward in one fell swoop."
Monique had long waited for this moment. When she heard Levi''s words, her gaze glistened with
excitement. "I''ve f*cking waited for this moment for so many f*cking days! Finally, I get the chance to
show my skills."
Levi frowned unhappily andined, "Monique, you''re ady, how can you be so rude? Why are
you swearing so much?"
Monique argued, "Well if you don''t like me saying f*ck, I can say d*mn too!"
"I don''t want to argue with you." Levi red at her with distaste. "I don''t know why I fell for a girl like
you."
"Levi Brown! Is there any f*cking thing wrong with me? How am I not good enough for you?"
Monique questioned. She was a short-tempered person. If she was addressed nicely, she would
treat the person nicely too. If someone tried to pick a fight verbally with her, she would respond in
kind. She was so hot-tempered; no one could stop her once she was enraged.
Levi surrendered, "It''s my fault!"
Monique asked, "What''ve you done?"
Levi answered, "I didn''t appreciate your kind deeds. You''re the most beautiful and understanding girl
in the world. It''s my honor to have you in my life."
Monique replied with a smile, "Although your words sound hyperbolic, they''re still very pleasant to
the ear."
Levi teased, "You hypocritical girl!"
Monique asked, "You really want to pick a fight with me, don''t you?"
"Although I can''t afford to provoke you, I can hide from you." With that, Levi turned around and
walked into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Meanwhile,
Moniquey on the bed, trying to get some rest.
But, how could she fall asleep?
It was already past nine o''clock at night. There were still more than two hours before they took
action. Besides, their lives hinged on the sess of the mission this time.
The mission this time was not really that tough. It was not as tough as their life on the deserted
ind in the past. It was just that they always had to be on guard, which was mentally exhausting.
That night would determine whether the mission seeded or failed. She had toplete this
mission well and return to Chatterton Town safely with Levi.
Not long after, Levi came out after his shower. Monique, lying on the bed, still had her eyes open
wide. "Why aren''t you sleeping yet?" Levi asked.
Monique answered lightly, "I can''t sleep."
Levi used a blowdryer to dry his hair and theny down beside her. He put one arm around her
gently and said, "If you can''t sleep, then let''s chat."
Monique asked, "About?"
Levi replied, "We can talk about anything, as long as we don''t fight about it."
Monique turned around and looked at him. Looking at his handsome features, she couldn''t help but
reach out and stroke his face gently. "You look so dashing."
Levi grabbed her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it. "This face of mine once fascinated thousands
of young girls. How could I not be handsome?"
Monique smiled and teased, "Look at your smug face."
Levi argued, "It''s called self-confidence."
Monique leaned against him and said, "Love is a thing of fate. Two months ago, we were still
eyesores to each other. I didn''t expect us to be sleeping on the same bed in just two months."
In the past, they always had issues with each other and would either quarrel or fight whenever they
met. However, since they were both outstanding people, they inevitably piqued each other''s
interest. As the days of them quarreling went on, their feelings for each other developed into
something else.
Monique sighed emotionally again. Fate was really amazing!
