“ording to what you’ve said, isn’t it dangerous for her to stay with you then? You’ve offended more people than I did. Christian, Quinn, Zoah, they are all important political figures.”
“Do you really think that they do not hate you? They are also eyeing your position like a tiger eyeing its prey. The fact that Quinn had asked Trenton to do what he did proves it,” Ste retorted.
“At the very least, I’m still the President now. They would not show their intentions that openly.”
“They wouldn’t dare to confront me either with my current strength and influence. Moreover, I have aprehensive n in mind. They would not do it unless they are willing to risk their reputation. For them, rising to the top is the only goal. And you, you almost hurt Eli thest time,” Ste said.
“You may have a perfect n, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have one. Why did you think that I asked my people to follow you around that day? Eli must stay with me,” Sean said firmly.
“You two, stop quarreling,” Eli couldn’t bear it anymore. “The more I listen to you two quarrel, the more annoying it is. Please show me some respect.”
Ste and Sean stopped talking and turned their faces away.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, making the situation even weirder.
Sean’s hand on Eli’s waist tightened, and he looked at her with burning eyes.
Eli pursed her lips and said to Ste, “Ste, how about I stay with him for now? People might be suspicious if I were to leave his side all of a sudden. I will go over to you if I find that he could no longer protect me. You are not allowed to abandon me then.”
Hearing Eli’s words, Ste didn’t want to force her anymore.
After all, she knew Eli too well. The fact that she hadtaken the initiative to stay with Seancould only mean that she had fallen in love with him.
“Congrattions, Sean,” As Ste was angry, there was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Sean sensed the sarcasm and replied, “Thank you for your support. Eli will be my wife in the future and she will manage the Cab as well. The reason I had appointed a position for you in the Cab is not only to help youplete the n but also in hopes that you could support Eli in the future.”
Ste sighed and looked at Eli.
Eli’s face was filled with confusion.
It was an absurd idea to have her be the wife of the President and eventually manage the Cab.
Couldn’t she just be a housewife?
“If you really want to be with him, you mustn’t be as capricious as you used to be. Because you are in a high position, everyone’s eyes will be on you. You shouldn’t act on impulse too. If you want to learn how to manage people’s minds and bnce power, I will try my best to teach you, after…” Ste paused.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
She wanted to say that they would leave and live the life they wanted after Jasper had taken his revenge and when no one would threaten their lives anymore.
However, Sean and Eli both thought that Jasper was dead, so she couldn’t say anything that hinted otherwise.
After all, the only constant in life was change.She believed in Eli, but she didn’t trust Sean.
Sean was in a high position. He could only act ording to the overall situation instead of his feelings.
“I’ll leave when you’re almost ready,” Ste said.
Eli’s eyes were red. “Where will you go? Will you evere back?”
“I want to live the life that I want,” Ste said softly.
Eli held Ste’s hand and asked worriedly, “You’re not going to seek death, are you? Ste, you will have nothing once you die.”
Ste smiled lightly.
She had tried tomit suicide some years ago. She was saved by Frederick, but she was still depressed. She was still alive, but she was no longer her true self. She just lived the way others wanted her to.
She wasn’t happy every day. This kind of feeling was worse than death.
She didn’t want to experience that again. Therefore, now, she was living for herself.
“Don’t think too much. What you have to do now is to live a good life from now on,” Ste then went back to the topic.
She looked at theputer and exined, “The person who came inter is one of Christian’s men. I’ve sorted out the information of all the people who work for Christian and remembered their facial features. I remember this man’s eyes. He was in the special forces and he supposedly died in military training ten years ago. Evidently, he didn’t actually die, and he became Christian’s man.”
Eli came to her senses and praised, “Ste, you are so awesome. You could even remember such a thing.”
Ste looked at Eli and said softly, “Our brains couldn’t bepared even to a few hundredputers.However, a normal person’s brain is only developed from three to six percent.A so-called genius brain could only be developed from six to nine percent. As long as you continue to develop your potential and work hard, everyone will eventually be very powerful, unless you are born with a mental handicap. Therefore, as long as you work hard, you will be able to do it too.”
Eli knew that Ste wasforting her. She guessed that she was categorized as one of the average people.
“What are you going to say to the police tomorrow?” Sean also returned to the topic.
“Unfortunately, the surveince system in my car was destroyed, but maybe Quinn still has a copy,” Ste guessed.
“He wouldn’t keep anything unfavorable to him. I’m sure that Quinn would definitely not leave a recording behind,” Sean corrected her.
“That would be for the best.After all, my testimony is the most important. I could just put the me on whoever I want to. Although they don’t believe it, there are still many people who will follow me,” Ste said calmly.
“Are you trying to stir up trouble between Zoah and Quinn?” Sean guessed.
“You know very well that the forces of the three parties have been out of bnce, so they must suppress Quinn. Otherwise, his focus would have already been on you. Only Zoah could suppress him for the time being, so that he won’t be too arrogant and act rashly,” Ste analyzed.
“We share the same sentiments. However, Quinn is very cautious. I’m worried that you’ll be in danger,” Sean’s face darkened.
“I know. Hence, I will have a good chat with Quinn tonight,” Ste said.
“I’m not worried about the way you do things. Ah yes, there is one more thing thatI hade to see you today. I asked around the Invisibles earlier this morning and I heard thatHodge was upset that I seemed to be the reason why he had failed to assassinate Eli. However, it was weird that he didn’te to me before hemitted suicide.
Hodge’s autopsy report had already been released. He really didmit suicide. He didn’t take any hallucinogenic drugs before he died. Moreover, when he jumped off the building, there were witnesses, proving that he was the only one there. There was no one else following him, but his expression at that time…”
“What about his expression?” Ste asked.
“At that time, some soldier shone a light on Hodge’s face and said that he was crying. He looked like he was scared and in pain. It seemed that he was struggling. Finally, he jumped off the building. I was thinking,it doesn’t seem like he was looking for death with such aplex expression. He would haveat least had somest words, but he didn’t say anything,” Sean said suspiciously.
