Chapter 679
After going back to the hotel, rence contacted someone in Riverside City.
In London, it was 2 to 3 p.m. at this time. While in Riverside City, it was alreadyte at night.
Through the video call, Ste saw Noah lying in the crib and sleeping soundly,pletely undisturbed
by everything that was happening outside.
Dolores and Archer were also at the side.
This ce was the mansion of Dolores’s mother. Since her mother married Bancroft, fifty or sixty years
had passed so far. The mansion was almost deserted.
With Bancroft’s death, no one in the James family knew this ce.
When rence investigated Dolores’s past in Riverside City, he found this mansion. Therefore, the
people he sent over there were staying in this ce.
After the James family encountered the ident this time, Darnell became the main suspect.
Archer quickly sensed the crisis and when he was just about to evacuate with the people in the entire
lab, he met rence’s men and they were directly brought here.

Dolores was picked up from the James’ Mansion and she arrived almost simultaneously with them.
When the news of the death of several family elders spread and those people intended to take this
opportunity to make use of this matter, theb and ce where Dolores stayed were already empty.
Seeing that they were all fine, Ste was relieved. As it waste at night at the other end, she hung up
the phone after saying only a few sentences.
rence asked, “Are you relieved now?”
Ste looked at him, “Did you foresee that something would happen? If it had been slightly slower, it
might have…”
rence replied lightly, “Riverside City isn’t peaceful. Whether or not Darnell is there, dangers may
happen at any time. Simr things have happened once, I absolutely won’t let it happen again.”
Ste lowered her head and smiled.
rence was indeed more thoughtful and meticulous than her.
After a while, she said, “What about Darnell, how is he now? Since such a serious incident has
happened, the James family won’t easily…”
“Don’t worry, he’s fine.”
Ste kept silent for a while and said, “Are we going back to City N tomorrow night?”
rence said yes.
“What about Daniel? If he was really taken away by Lyndon, then now he is…”
In peril.
rence held her hand, “Don’t worry, since Lyndon chose to take him away, it indicates that Daniel still
has a use to him. Before he gets what he wants, Daniel is always his bargaining chip, so he won’t kill
him.”
Ste gently pursed her lips, “But even so, Daniel is still in a very dangerous situation. I don’t know…
how to tell Sherry.”
“These things are unexpected. No one would want to see such an oue, so you don’t have to me
yourself for it. If she asks, you can just tell the truth. If she doesn’t, you can choose not to say
anything.”
Ste lowered her head and did not reply.
rence stroke her hair, “Leave it for now. You’vee to London for almost half a month but you stay
in the hospital every day. Do you want me to take you out for a walk?”
…
The next day, Sherry and ine arrived at the studio as usual.
After Channing dropped them off, he intended to leave.
Sherry called him, “Chan, where are you going?”
Channing replied, “Shooting. Today is thest episode and there are also promotional photos and
materials to be shot.”
Sherry nodded, “Okay, keep in touch at all times. You should be careful.”
“Okay, Maxwell is right outside. Just call him if you guys need anything.”
After Channing left, ine changed into her uniform and began to work in earnest.
Sherry walked to Ste’s office, leant on the desk and looked out the window in a daze.
She had not contacted Daniel for over a month.
Sherry originally did not think so much about it and felt that Daniel might just be busy and she should
not always disturb him.
But after experiencing a tense and frightening night yesterday, the uneasiness in her heart was
instantly magnified to the point that she could not control at all.
After thinking for a long time, Sherry took out her phone and dialled Emmett’s number.
After she got through, she felt him out softly, “Emmett, are you busy?”
Emmett hesitated for a while before responding, “Not really. What''s the matter?”
“No, no, no, nothing important. I just want to ask if Daniel contacted you recently, I…I have something
to tell him but I haven’t been able to contact him.”
There was no sounding from the person on the other end of the phone.
Sherry could not help but grip the phone tighter and even slowed down her breath, “Is…something
wrong with him?”
Emmett then answered, “No, thepany in London has a lot of matters to be handled so he doesn’t
really have time. I often can’t get in touch with him either.”
Hearing this, Sherry heaved a sigh of relief and was d that nothing happened to him.
Emmett added, “Sherry, Daniel may not be able to return for the time being. If you need any help, feel
free to tell me.”
Sherry smiled, “Thank you. I just go to the studio and go back home every day so there is nothing that
needs help. If there is, I won’t hesitate to call you.”
After chatting with Emmett for a while, Sherry hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
Although she heard from Emmett that Daniel was busy dealing with the matters in thepany, for
some reason, she still could not be totally relieved.
Sherry could not help but put her hand on the belly. The little one inside her was three to four months
old. She could feel his existence more clearly.
Sherry was low-spirited for the entire day and she had nothing to do in the studio.
Fortunately, the new picture had been shotst night and she just needed to hand it over to the post-
production staff.
Just as she was walking back and forth in the studio, a figure appeared at the door.
Caesar scurried to ine, “ine, are you okay?”
ine was a bit bewildered and subconsciously said, “I’m fine… Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Caesar took off his sses and rubbed his brow, “I heard something happened to the James family
and someone would hurt you, I’m afraid that you…But anyway, it’s good to see that you’re alright.”
ine did not get it, “Why would someone hurt me?”
Caesar raised his eyes and saw that the studio was a bit crowded. So, he pulled ine to the pantry on
the side and whispered, “Have you forgotten that you''re engaged to Darnell?”
Upon hearing this, ine waspletely dumbstruck.
Oh, how could she have forgotten about this matter?
Caesar continued saying, “Now everyone in the James family can’t find Darnell, so they naturally
regard his escape as an admission of guilt of murdering the family elders. And since you’re Darnell’s
fiancée, inevitably they may vent their anger on you.”
ine’s entire face turned red, “But…but…”
“I know that this marriage is not what you want but those elders were killed tragically. The James family
is now in turmoil and some people want to fish in troubled water and take advantage of the issue. Thus,
you’re their biggest target.”
