“His secret is also rted to Jasper. He once wanted to kill Jasper,” Quinn said. In reality,Ste already knew what he was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth.
That was what she had intended to say when she goes to the police station the morning after.
“At that time, I thought that Hale was a spy. He deliberately told Hale’s address to Anthony and let him catch her.However, Jasper already knows the truth. He definitely won’t sacrifice one of hisrades. However, if Jasper saves Hale, he would then be an aplice. Perhaps, you could reveal tell this secret of his,” Quinn suggested.
Ste raised the corner of her mouth with a sarcastic smile.
Quinn had always been a strong opponent. He could immediately think of ways to deal with Zoah. He even used Christian’s past to cause havoc. That way, he could easily suppress both Zoah and Christian, leaving him out of conflict.
Even if she told the police that Mrs. Zane was under Quinn’s control, there wouldn’t be any evidence to proveas long as Quinn denied it.
However, if she were to talk about this matter,she would then be able to take revenge for the time when Zoah tried to frame Jasper. On the other hand, she would also do Quinn a favor. Also, as long as Christian and Zoah had some brains, they would figure out that it was Quinn that was behind Mrs. Zane. In that case, they would also be able to discern that Quinn had put those words in Mrs. Zane’s mouth.
“Okay. I’ll say that to the police then. Your affairs are tooplicated. It was initially a simple murder, yet it has caused so many problems. I’ll have a headache if I keep thinking about it. In the future, I’d better not ept cases that might involve any of you. Anyway, I don’t have the obligation to ept it anyway,” Steined.
“Isn’t Sean’s assistant a former friend of yours?Aren’t you going to help him?” Quinn asked tentatively.
“Are you talking about Eli? I’m also very puzzled. We have not been in touch for almost six years. Why did she suddenly be Sean’s assistant? Is there any story between them? Mr. Zellweger, your main goal is to be the next President. You could make an issue of it if you’d like to. Maybe, you will get something unexpected, but…” Ste trailed off deliberately.
“But what?” Quinn asked hurriedly.
“As far as I know, Sean is a cautious man.
I’ve also checked his background. He is meticulous and scrupulous, and his men aren’t sloppy either.There were no traces left to be found, unlike you and your men.
Those subordinates of yours are all a bunch of useless people.
You ought to take care of those corrupted people if you intend to secure the position of the next President. Otherwise, they’ll threaten your position sooner orter. I could be of help to you in this matter.
Also, think about it. Sean is such a vignt person. Would he deliberately let a woman with absolutely no talent and looks stay by his side?
Could it be that he had set up a trap and he was just waiting for someone else to take the bait?
After all, Eli’s appearance is extremely sudden that people couldn’t help but doubt their rtionship,” Ste said deliberately.
Quinn was silent. He seemed to have been convinced by Ste. “What do you think?”
“My opinion is not important, but I hope that you will not go against me again. I’ll repeat the important points once more,” Ste said.
“Bemy told me today that he wanted to pursue you. What do you think about this matter? After all, he looks really simr to your husband,” Quinn asked in a low voice.
“It makes me feel that there is a terrible n behind it because they look too much alike. Do you think that I will agree to it?” Ste chuckled.
“Since you regard yourself as an outsider of the political circle, shouldn’t you dismiss the Dark Shadow then?” Quinn satirized.
“One should never have the intention to hurt others, nor the intention to guard against others. As a widow, I am afraid. I’ve just removed dozens of recorders from my vi.You only came for a brief moment but you have already done plenty. I’m a weak woman. Why do you all have to do this?
I’m going to request some men from Anthony. After all, I’m still young. I cherish my life. Well, is there anything else that you would like to talk about? If there’s nothing, I’ll hang up now. I’m feeling too full from my meal,” Ste saidzily.
“Since you aren’t interested in getting involved in the political circle, what’s your purpose in doing all these then?” Quinn asked as he didn’t hang up the phone.
“I don’t have any purpose. I just want to live a peaceful life. I’ll tell you once I found my purpose,” Ste didn’t hang up the phone. Instead, it was Quinn who hung up first.
Suzi asked worriedly,“Ste, are you okay?”
Ste shook her head and said, “I’m fine. No matter how powerful Quinn is, he’s still an amateur when he’s going against a psychology expert like me. Don’t worry, Mom.”
“When you’re done eating, let’s take a walk together and have some fresh air,” Suzi said softly.
“Alright,” Ste replied.
“Put on more clothes when you go out. It’s cold outside,” Suzi instructed again.
“Mm,” Ste stood and went to get her clothes.Bothof them went for a walk together after Suzi was done washing the dishes.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
It was the middle of winter and it was very cold. If Jasper was by her side, he would definitely hold her hand and ce it in his pocket.
As she walked by theke, she remembered the time when Jasper had fished with her.
She smiled and said, “If there is a chance, I’ll take you to live on the deserted ind for two days. It’s like a paradise there. You’ll forget about all of your troubles and pressures, and you would only feel happy there. You’ll even be excited through the day when you taste the food there.It’s simple and happy there.”
Suzi also lowered her head andughed, “When I first married Steven, I also fantasized about spending our lives together happily.Even though we had power and wealth, we didn’t have feelings for each other. I always wondered if I wanted to spend the rest of my life in such misery,” Suzi exined.
“If you ever find a suitable partner, Jasper and I will support you as well,” Ste said.
Suzi smiled and continued, “I met a man who helped me out when I went abroad thest time. He was selfless, but he made me feel warm. Because of his help, I quickly solved my problem and we eventually exchanged phone numbers. I had a good impression of him. However, I’m not in a rush to know him. At my age, you’ll naturally let nature take its course.”
“Well, we have to let nature take its course. It’s better to stay single than to live with someone whom we don’t love. We must live our lives as we want,” Ste eximed.
“Well, let’s work hard together. When Steven was there, I was unhappy every day. With you, I feel much more rxed than before,” Suzi said.
“I want to be your daughter-inw in my next lifetoo,” Ste said with a smile.
“Then Jasper must continue to be my son,” Suziughed.
Both of them smiled happily.
…
Half an hourter, Ste proceeded to the library and continued to review the test papers. Bemy was already thereas soon as she opened the door. He quickly walked over to her.
Ste froze on the spot. He threw his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lipspassionately. He seemed unusually fierce and aggressive…
