“I read an article regarding the former President of France today. I think that it’s quite simr to your life story. If your news of having an illegitimate child is exposed, you definitely couldn’t be the next President anymore,” Eli said worriedly.


    “Don’t worry, since I had asked you to give birth to our child, I will guarantee your safety,” Sean said in assurance.


    “It’s better to be careful. Natasha had asked Yvonne to tell you and persuade you about something. However, Yvonne scolded her instead,” Eli added.


    “I think that Natasha was just being considerate, but Yvonne might be worried that it would affect our rtionship.


    It seemed that they really are kind.


    After all, I am the one who would spend the rest of my life with you, not them. I have to n for myself too.


    I definitely wouldn’t want my future husband to be in trouble, or else, I won’t have a husband.


    Eli paused for a second before she continued.


    “Take a look at the news that the people had managed to dig out even after the former president had retired. His affairs with the daughter of the chairman of that make-uppany were brought up again and again. I think that you’ve done way more bad things in the past than he did. They might even dig out all your childhood doing, and you’ll be doomed then


    I think that we should talk about it once your position is stable Besides, you’ll be distracted after we have a child,” Eli advised.


    Sean listened to her words. The words ‘future husband’delighted him and brought him to be in a good mood.


    He also considered what Eli had said seriously.He ced his arms around her waist and spoke of his concern, “I will be more distractedif you don’t give me another child.”


    Eli pursed her lips and smiledasher eyes sparkled,“Are you afraid that I’ll run away?”


    “Ah, so you know that too,” Sean spoke as he looked at her helplessly.


    “Are you silly? Do I look like a person who wouldn’t run away after giving birth?” Eli asked in reply.


    Sean’s grip on her waist tightened even more.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Although the truth hurt, she had an unusual sense of sweetness in her heart. She ced her arms around his neck and said, “If I had already promised you that I wouldn’t run away, then, I won’t.”


    Sean sneered and continued,“Your mood changes drastically every day. Even if you don’t feel like running away today, you might want to run away tomorrow.”


    Eli was speechless.


    She was clueless as to whether she should be angry or happy that Sean knew her so well.


    She had always been a fickle-minded person.


    “Why don’t we sign a contract then? As long as you don’t betray me, I will not run away either. Okay, you can rest assured now, right?” Eli asked.


    Seankissed her on the lips and said in a low voice, “I believe you. However, Eli, if you run away next time,I won’t trust you anymore.”


    “I know, I know. Let’s go and find Ste,” Eli took Sean’s hand and walked away.


    The corners ofSean’s mouth curled upgingerly.


    Sean’s heart would burn with anxiety whenever he couldn’t see Eli. Likewise, his heart would bepletely eased when he finally sees her.


    …


    Seanand Eli proceeded openly under the protection of a group of guards. Eli, nominally, was still his assistant.


    Eli noticed something was off as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the manor.


    There were three floors in the manor, and all three floors were surrounded by soldiers in different uniforms.


    Their expressions were solemn, but the Invisibles seemed nervous.


    “Are these people Jasper’s? Or are they from the Dark Shadow?” Eli asked in confusion.


    “It’s more than that,”Sean’s expression became serious. The car drove in after an inspection was conducted.


    Eli looked at the back of the carand noticed another circle of people outside the manor.


    “We’re not the only ones here for dinner today, are we?” Eli asked in suspicion.


    “Christian, Anthony, Zoah, Quinn, Samuel, and Bemy areing, too,” Sean said in a deep voice.


    “Bemy? Is he the one who looks very much like Jasper? Are they twins?” Eli guessed.


    “I don’t think so. I’ve checked. Suzi gave birth to a child, not twins. When we enter the manorter,I will have some things to deal with. I will give you and Ste some private timeter. Be good,” Sean instructed.


    Eli nodded in agreement.


    She had never understood anything that was rted to political affairs. She had no choice but to behave.


    The car then stopped in front of the vi.


    Ste’s security guard opened the car door.


    Sean stepped out of the car whileEli and Colonel Cher immediately followed him and entered the house.


    Eli realized that many people were present at the house. Every corner of the house was guardedbut they all wore the same uniform. That meant that they belonged to the same group, maybe Ste’s group.


    The atmosphere inside the vi was extremely strange. No one spoke a word and their faces were tensed.


    Even Ste was cool, expressionless, and indifferent.


    Ste’s eyes subconsciously moved towards Eli’s face as soon as she saw Sean. She immediately turned away and nodded to Sean.


    “Thank you for your hard work. There were some things that I had to attend to urgently. My apologies for my dyed arrival,” Sean said apologetically.


    “Let’s address the elephant in the room. What exactly is going on? Right now, the rumors of the Education Minister and his wife’s death are extremely strange,” Zoah was first to speak. His tone carried a sense of questioning, seriousness, and disdain.


    Ste slowly looked towards Zoah. “Trenton had suddenly died, and the cause of his death has been revealed on the Inte. Benjamin and I think that Trenton might have been assassinated because he knew some unspeakable secrets.”


    “Since you have brought Mrs. Zane with you, what did she say before she died?” Zoah interrogated.


    Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ste, but she turned to look at Quinn instead.


    Quinn red at Ste withhis eyes full of murderous intent and warning.


    Ste smirked and replied faintly,“Yes, she did say something, but I do not have the evidence to prove it. I gather that others would only be more suspicious if I were to reveal this. Therefore, I don’t see the need to do that.”


    “What exactly did she say?” Zoah asked.


    Quinn frowned and said with a little frustration, “Deputy Commander Davis, Ste is not a criminal. She is just assisting us in the investigation. Since she doesn’t want to tell us, there must be a reason for her not to. I believe that Mrs. Milton will say it when she wants to say it, right?”


    Quinn looked at Ste.


    Ste sat on the chair and tappedthe table with her fingerrhythmically. “In fact, I don’t think that it’s necessary to tell you. First, no one would believe me if I reveal it. Instead, they will think that I am just gossiping.


    Secondly, I’m not sure whether what Mrs. Zane said is true.


    Thirdly, I’m not a member of the political circle. As Mr. Zellweger had said, I’m just helping you with the investigation


    You said that you woulde to my ce today, but I don’t have anything to entertain you with. Let’s have a meal first and talk during the meal. What do you say?”


    Everyone stopped talking and looked at Sean, the one with the highest authority.


    “Then, I’ll thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Milton,” Sean spoke politely and he was the first to sit.


    Eli stood still with respect. She analyzed the people sitting on the left and right sides of Seancarefully. One was Zoah, and the other was Quinn.


    Those who sat at Ste’s table were of significant authority. Assistants were only allowed to sit at the table next to them.


    As an assistant, Eli had to sit separately from Sean.
