Ste cried for a long time until she was finally drained of energy. She stared at the ground listlessly for a while, and then slowly raised her head to look at the vi.


    Jasper Milton didn’t open the door at all.


    Was there a point for her to squat and cry her heart out over here?


    It was pointless.


    She stood up. Her blood glucose level was low, and she experienced a fleeting moment of ckout. After swaying a few times, she squatted down and shook her head. She tried her best to keep herself conscious so that she would not pass out here.


    She took out a piece of chocte from her bag, ate it,and slowly closed her eyes.


    She was too dizzy. She could feel that her surroundings were turning upside down and she was about to faint. She forced herself to stand up and made a call, “Sean, locate my phone, and send someone to pick me up.”


    “Why would you look for me?” Sean Yaleman asked suspiciously.


    “Let’s talk about it when we meet,” After finishing her words, Ste hung up the phone and walked forward. After walking for a long time, she finally walked out of Jasper’s manor. It was getting darker and she almost couldn’t see anything. She leaned herself against a tree and remembered that there was a bench nearby. She clenched her fists and walked toward the bench. When she touched the bench, she couldn’t hold on any longer and copsed into an unconscious heap.


    She didn’t know how long it took, but when she opened her eyes, the sky was dark grey, as if it was at six o’clock in the evening. She sat up and looked around. She was in a strange room. She remembered that she had called Sean before she fainted. Did Sean bring her here? Or was it Jasper?


    When she thought of Jasper, her heart skipped a beat. She got up from the bed and opened the door. She saw Sean sitting on the sofa reading the newspapers.


    He was dressed in a ck suit and vest. He was reserved and elegant, with a noble temperament around him.His every movement was radiating an air of royalty. As he was flipping the newspaper, he noticed her. He looked at her with a faint smile. His eyes were calm and deep, like an ancientke that was bottomless.


    Ste also looked back at Sean. She knew that he was a ruthless person. He was good with tactics and schemes,with a strong desire and ability to dominate the situation. That was why he was ableto stand out from the Presidential candidates. Very few people would possess such charisma.


    “Breakfast will be ready in fifteen minutes. Take a seat,” Sean shot a fleeting nce at the seat in front of him.


    Breakfast?


    It turned out that it was early in the morning.


    She had been unconscious for a long time…


    She sat down in front of Sean, with her eyes downcast. She remained silent.


    Sean chuckled and put down the newspaper. “When I first saw you, I thought that you were very capable. The woman who could make the unemotional Jasper fall in love with her must have a high EQ.”


    “If I had a high EQ, I wouldn’t have been driven out. I ended up asking for your help, didn’t I?” Ste said coldly.


    Sean frowned slightly. “It shouldn’t be like this. Hale had been proven innocent, leaving Jasperwith nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, Frederick should be following your words. Jasper has no reason to drive you out.”


    “Aren’t you afraid?” Ste said coldly.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Sean leaned against the sofa with great interest. “What should I be afraid of?”


    “After Eli’s incident was exposed, someone immediately plotted against Jasper. You should have guessed why,” Ste narrowed her eyes and stared at Sean.


    “Are you suspecting that I was the one who did it? I still need Jasper to bnce out other people. I wouldn’t want to dispose of someone who was still of use to me preemptively,” Sean said coldly.


    Ste smirked. “I have never doubted you. I just feel that someone is coveting your position, and thus, started the killing. Who do you think it is?”


    “Don’t tell me that you think that it’s Christian Saltzman,” Sean said in a low voice.


    “I’m not sure whether it was him or not. But there is one thing. When Hale was arrested, Frederick has warned me that I would regret it soon if I followed Jasper. From his words, I think that he knew about what was about to happen to Hale. Of course, we couldn’t exclude the possibility that Frederick’s has a goodwork of information, but I think it’s more likely that Christian was the one behind all of this.”


    Sean pursed his lips and did not speak.


    Ste could not read anything from his expressionless face. She raised her eyebrows and said, “If Christian has told you this in advance, then I might have put myself in danger. If Christian didn’t tell you, then his ambition is obvious.”


    “Ste, you should understand that there are no eternal friends or enemies in this world. Tell me, why did youe to me this time?”


    “You just said that there are no eternal friends nor enemies in this world, but there are eternal benefits. I will help you to get rid of all the obstacles, and in return, you will protect the people I care for.”


    Sean looked at Ste with deep eyes, his fingers lightly tapping his legs.


    She studied psychology, soshe knew that this was a bodynguage that he was making a difficult choice. He analyzed the pros and cons in an orderly manner in his mind. After a while, his movement stopped and he straightened his body. He stared at Ste and asked, “What do you need me to do?”


    “Give me a position that is high enough to attract their attention, such as in the Cab,” Ste said lightly.


    “The Cab is a ce for women, and it is indeed suitable for you. However, even my wife, who has such a strong background, barely survived in it. Can you do it?” Sean was suspicious.


    “All you need to do is to get me in. I will do the rest on my own. You don’t want to be under control forever, do you?” Ste said firmly.


    “I have one more condition. Tell me, where is Eli?” Sean asked.


    “She thinks that I have betrayed her. Do you think she would tell me where she is now? She haspletely disappeared into the crowd. It’s a good thing for her. She will no longer be in danger. It’s also a good thing for you. No one can use her against you anymore,” Ste said with a dim look in her eyes.


    In this lifetime, she might not have the chance to see her old friend again.


    Sean’s expression was unclear. He got up and said, “Let’s have breakfast first. It would not be a problem to arrange for you to enter the Cab, but you’re pregnant now. Do you want to think about it again?”


    “What?” Ste paused and looked at Sean in surprise.


    “Didn’t you know that you’re pregnant?” Sean asked.


    Ste was in a trance.


    She was pregnant! How could it be? The doctor said that her ovtion period was supposed to be from the 5th till the 10th! Could it be from that time in X Country?


    “Looking at your reaction, it seems that you really didn’t know. As I have thought, it’s impossible for Jasper to drive you out if he knew that you’re pregnant. It turns out that you both didn’t know. Perhaps you would like to discuss this matter with him before making a decision,” Sean asked.


    “There’s no need for that. I’m in charge of my own business. Just make the necessary arrangements. I have no problem with it,” Ste said firmly.


    “Okay, wait for my notice then. It will take about a week, and there are some things that will require your cooperation in between,” Sean said.


    Ste covered her stomach, lost in thought.


    It was very difficult for her to conceive a baby, so she cherished this child very much. However, this child came at the wrong time…
