Chapter 1413


    Erine''s heart tightened.


    Did the girl call several times to ask Miss Whitlock to find out about her brother''s whereabouts?


    Erine instantly felt a sense of guilt.


    In the study, there was a man sitting by a wide desk.


    The man had a handsome face, but his features were stone cold. He had a tall nose, and under that, his lips were pursed into a thin line. He looked like a perfect, albeit heartless statue.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.


    "Come in," the man said.


    His voice was as cold as his expression.


    A man in a ck suit walked in.


    "Sir, the person you asked me to follow just went to the Perry family''s home. She probably gave them something. When she came back, her hands were empty."


    "The Perry family?" Tremaine appeared to be deep in thought.


    "Yes." The man said respectfully, "It is the house of


    Matthew Perry of the Perry Family in Agaphen city,"


    Tremaine understood instantly.


    A look of disgust shed across his face.


    What Montez brought to Yesseca was not an ordinary item. It was something specially prepared for the imperial family. It was extremely precious. Yesseca took such a precious thing and went to the Perry family to give it to them. Was she trying to butter up to the people of the Perry family? What a leech!


    How dare she let Montez, a mere child, gave her such precious things?


    Tremaine said coldly, "From now on, the young master is not allowed to visit that young woman again!"


    Matthew came back that night.


    Selina asked Matthew again about Lothar''s situation.


    A ripple shed in Matthew''s eyes, but it disappeared quickly like a dragonfly skimming the water.


    "Let''s eat first," Matthew said.


    However, Selina was not having it.


    She looked at Matthew and said, "Yesterday, you said the same thing as well, but after dinner, you told me nothing. You have to tell me now, right away! Did you find out anything about Lothar?"


    Matthew did not look into Selina''s eyes. "No, but you don''t have to worry."


    "Why isn''t there anything yet?" Selina raised her voice subconsciously. "Didn''t you say that there you have many people around working for you? Why can''t they even find a person?"


    Matthew softened his voice, "It''s all my fault. Don''t fret,"


    After that, he put his hand on Selina''s belly. "It doesn''t matter if you''re angry with me, but don''t affect the baby."


    Selina took a deep breath.


    She said, "I''ll ask my brother if he has any news."


    Selina then called Tobias.


    However, what Tobias said was the same as what Matthew had said before.


    Selina felt that she waspletely powerless.


    She put down the phone.


    "Selina, let''s eat first," Matthew said softly.


    Selina nced at Matthew.


    Her lips moved.


    She wanted to say something, but she couldn''t get the words out of her throat.


    After the meal, Matthew took her out for a walk.


    The doctor had told him that it would be best for Selina to take a walk regrly if he wanted Selina to give birth naturally.


    Selina didn''t speak. No matter what Matthew said, she didn''t say a word.


    In the end, Matthew decided not to say anything and walked with Selina silently.


    About an hourter, they returned home.


    When they reached the gate of the vi, Selina suddenly stopped.


    She lifted her face and looked at Matthew.


    The moon was bright, and its light fell on Selina''s body.


    It was a silent night of gloom.


    The moonlight hit Selina''s face, making it look as if there was a light veil covering her face.


    Her face looked both dreamy and misty.


    She stared into Matthew''s eyes. "Tell me the truth, is Lothar dead?"


    She was not a fool.


    After so long, the fact that Tobias and Matthew had not found any information meant that there was only one possibility.


    However, Selina didn''t want to and couldn''t believe it.


    The moonlight reflected on the clear silhouette of Matthew''s face. He did not speak.


    Matthew knew that Selina most likely had guessed what happened. However, as long as Tobias and he said nothing, Selina would still continue carrying her hope.


    Even if she got it right, she would not bepletely crushed if nobody told her the truth.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    "Matthew, tell me, is Lothar dead?" Selina pestered.


    Matthew remained silent.


    Selina raised her voice, "Matthew, answer me!"


    This time, Matthew finally spoke. His gaze was cold and deep, and his facial features were a little hard. "Selina, you''re pregnant now, so can''t answer you. Don''t think too much about it. Besides, there may stiff be a light at the end of the road."


    Selina felt as if there was something stuck in her throat that was stopping her from speaking.


    She fell silent.


    Matthew wanted to bring her back home, but


    Selina didn''t want to go back.


    Matthew simply stood beside Selina, apanying her.


    After a period of time, Selina finally broke the silence. "If you can''t find Lothar, you must catch Reid. I can''t let him off without a reason. I must catch


    him!"


    Matthew held Selina''s hand. "Don''t worry. I will definitely catch Reid and give Lothar an exnation."


    Selina stared intently at Matthew as


    if she wanted to see through his heart, "Matthew, Reid is still your brother, after all. Will you let him go because of your rtionship with him?"


    Matthew''s eyes reflected the moonlight. "Don''t worry. Since he did something wrong, he must pay for it."


    After staring at Matthew for a long time, Selina lowered her gaze.


    "Let''s go back."


    The next day soon arrived.


    Selina went to the Whitlock family''s home.


    Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Matthew suggested she go to the Whitlock family''s home, and Selina agreed.


    Francia and Bowie were also there.


    Nobody knew how or why, but Francia and Cecilia had been very close recently. Francia would always drop by without any reason ore over to spend time with Cecilia.


    There was a huge difference in Francia''s attitude towards Cecilia and Natalie.


    Cecilia weed Francia''s arrival.


    Although Cecilia did not have much inmon with Francia, she still remembered the fact that Francia''s brother saved her son''s life.


    Whenever Francia and Bowie arrived, Peter would just stay in his bedroom and would note out.


    It was not because of anything else, but because Bowie''s outfit and clothes were really too much for Peter to take in.


    Bowie was well-endowed in the


    chest area, and she liked to wear low-cut clothes. Peter didn''t like that,


    but he kept in mind that Bowie was


    James niece, which was why he held his dissatisfaction. He shut himself in his room so that he won''t need toy his eyes on Bowie.


    When Selina arrived at the Whitlock family''s home, she sat down on the couch. The servant poured a cup of coffee for her.


    "Miss Whitlock, Madam Lawson is chatting with Madam Godfrey. Would you like me to inform her?" the maid asked respectfully.


    Selina did not know who Madam Godfrey was.


    "Is it Natalie?" Selina asked.


    The maid smiled. "No, she''s apanying Young Master upstairs. Madam Godfrey is Miss Natalie''s aunt."


    Selina gave an "oh" as a reply.


    She waved her hand, "Forget it and let them talk. I''ll sit down first,"


    Selina wanted some peace, but some people just wouldn''t let her have the peace she wanted.
