Chapter 305
Chapter 305 Was the Murder Just to y With Him?
“Treasure? What treasure?” Amelie was confused. Other than Bria and herself, what else could be her
father’s treasure?
“Hmph! Grandpa doesn’t love Bria anymore,” Bria remarked, feeling jealous. “How can you call
someone else your treasure? I’m very angry! I’ll still be angry no matter how you coax me!”
Hearing that, Steven hurried over to appease this little one. “You and Amy are my only treasures. Didn’t
Alston bring a lot of ingredients and recipes earlier? I’m going to get my reading sses and look for
the recipes online. I’ll get the ingredients myself and make delicious food for the both of you when I get
back.”
Indeed, Leo knew him well. If it weren’t for his hatred of Leo, he would have dly epted the gift.
For Steven, there was nothing more enjoyable than making delicious food for his two loved ones every
day.
When Amelie heard that he wanted to look for the recipes and ingredients to make delicious food for
them, she felt touched and resigned at the same time. “Those ingredients have been exclusively
imported, and the recipes are confidential. You can’t find them online.”
“Oh, I see.” Feeling that it was such a pity, he scratched his head in silence.
Immediately, she walked over and put her arm around his shoulder. “Dad, you’re already making
fantastic dishes now. Bria and I can’t even finish it all. You don’t need those recipes, you know.”
“Yeah, Grandpa. I love to eat everything that you make. Meatballs, meat stew, grilled salmon… Oh, I
can’t name them all!” Bria could tell that Amelie didn’t want Steven to work so hard anymore, so she
crawled over and nestled in his arms, twiddling her fingers.
Seeing his adorable granddaughter like this, he couldn’t contain his happiness as heughed
delightfully. “Okay, okay. From now on, I will cook for you every day. I won’t learn anything else. I’ll just
cook what you like to eat.”
“But if you like, you can still phone Dada asionally.” Bria used baby talk all of a sudden, no longer
calling her father ‘Daddy’ but ‘Dada’ instead. In her opinion, she wished that Leo would have a better
rtionship with her mother and grandfather.
When Steven heard that, he looked at Bria, then at Amelie. Although he was tempted, he still shook his
head. “There’s no need for that.” Amy has finally made up her mind to leave Leo. I can’t allow him to
hurt her again.
Meanwhile, in the car, Eugene was driving silently, not daring to breathe a little louder. The usually
serious boss has suffered such embarrassment in front of the Dillon Family. The scene was… He didn’t
dare recall what happened.
Over the years, no one dared to disrespect Leo as he rose to the top. No matter where he went, people
were cautious and trembled in fear whenever they saw him. Eugene never dared imagine something
like today would happen. Is he fuming now?
“How’s the investigation going with Elyse’s death?” Just when he was immersed in his thoughts, a
question suddenly came from behind him. The voice was as cold and deep as ever.
Instantly, he put his scattered thoughts at the back of his mind and sat up straighter. “Victor just sent a
message saying he hasn’t found any leads yet.”
When Leo heard that, he responded with a nomittal hum in acknowledgment.
Elyse had been shot dead by a sniper rifle. The killer came well-prepared, so it wouldn’t be easy to
crack the case. “Don’t you find it strange?”
Oh, I thought Mr. Alston would be too furious to think clearly, but it seems that his mind is still sharp, he
thought at once.
Just then, the sound of Leo tapping his seat came from behind him. This meant that he was getting
impatient.
Eugene quickly replied, “Yes, it’s quite strange. Why would someone want to kill Elyse? Could it be that
the person she mentioned has some secrets that can’t be revealed?”
“It looks like I need to give you a break so that you can continue daydreaming,” Leo remarked coldly.
“You’re getting more and more useless each day!”
At this moment, Eugene had noeback. He can always tell when I’m daydreaming, even if it’s only
for a few seconds.
“No, thank you. I don’t need a break.” Eugene quickly declined, feeling guilty.
Meanwhile, Leo gave him a death stare.
What a murderous re! The stubborn and serious Leo seemed to have changed a little. Previously,
even if he knew Eugene was daydreaming, he wouldn’t say anything and would merely re at him.
“This person might be targeting me and not Elyse,” Leo continued his analysis in a cold voice, ignoring
Eugene’s wild thoughts. “He could have had the sniper shoot me, so why kill Elyse just to hide a name?
To y with me?”
It couldn’t be denied that his analysis sounded like nonsense, but upon closer examination, it gave
people a change of perspective since it made sense.
After taking a few minutes to digest and analyze Leo’s thoughts, Eugene began to think that the
possibility of it being nonsense was higher. However, he didn’t dare say it out loud; firstly, he feared
Leo, and secondly, Leo was always very meticulous in his thinking.
He had learned from past experiences that no matter how ridiculous Leo’s words might sound, they
often turned out to be true. Although he might not be great in rtionships, he was godlike in other
aspects.
As such, here came the question—who would dare y games with the great Leo? No matter how
hard Eugene thought about it, he couldn’t figure out the answer.
At the same time, Leo closed his eyes to think as well.
“By the way, although Victor hasn’t found any leads about Elyse’s death, his people have already found
Michael,” said Eugene as he recalled this. After lowering his head to check his watch, he added, “They
should have already arrived with him by this time.”
“Let’s go meet him!” Leo ordered sharply.
With that, Eugene drove the car back to the vi where Elyse was shot yesterday.
Since he still felt a bit uneasy about the ce, he looked around nervously. “Should we increase the
security and send more personnel?” he asked worriedly.
At this moment, Leo stepped out of the car, showing his tall and imposing figure. His gaze was serious
and calm as he answered, “No need for that.”
“N-No need for that?” Eugene was stunned. Are you being too brave, or do you have a death wish?
The sniper shot Elyse on his first attempt yesterday, which shows how skillful he is. If you get shot
today, how am I going to exin everything?
“Do you think he’d let me die before he has enough fun with me?” Leo turned around and gave him a
cold nce.
Hearing that, Eugene was speechless. You’re always right.
However, he quickly realized that not only did Leoe back here without any fear, but he even
arranged for Michael to be in the same room where Elyse was interrogated yesterday. The room still
had bloodstains that had turned ck, and the smell of blood was still lingering.
As Eugene looked across the street, he couldn’t help but think, The sniper doesn’t even need to
change his angle if he wants to take out Mr. Alston today.
Leo sat on a chair nonchntly, his head fully exposed by the window. Seeing that, Eugene couldn’t
help but block him from behind.
Just then, Michael was brought in. With his short stature tied up, he didn’t have any strength to even
walk properly, so he almost rolled into the room. Then, he lifted his head.
As soon as he saw Leo, the pupils of his beady eyes constricted, and he begged for mercy. “I’m sorry,
Mr. Alston! It’s all my fault. Please spare my life. Please!” While shouting, he repeatedly hit his head on
the ground. Blood started trickling down his forehead, but he couldn’t care less about it.
Meanwhile, Leo looked at him in silence, watching him perform his act alone.
Michael had sacrificed a lot for the act this time. After the violent head-banging, he felt dizzy, and the
wound was too painful for him to continue. Soon, he finally stopped and looked up at Leo.
Only then did Leo slowly lean in, his stern and icy face getting closer and closer to Michael.
Suddenly, a strong scent struck, quickly covering up the smell of blood. As soon as everyone caught
the scent, their faces changed at once.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
