Chapter 230


    Cecilia and ine went to the living room.


    Charlie sat on the couch, drinking coffee made for him by the housekeeper.


    Because he had just undergone skin treatment, the scars on his face were somewhat red and looked


    even more terrifying.


    He put down his coffee cup and greeted ine, “Mrs. Shaw, you look good today.”


    ine sat on the couch and said with a smile, “It’s rare for Evan to be home. Of course, I’m happy.”


    Then, she asked with concern, “Charlie, how is your face?”


    Charlie touched his uneven face and smiled faintly. “It can be cured, but it will take a long time.”


    “As long as it can be cured. You are still young and can afford to wait.” “Mrs. Shaw, do you know that?


    I’d love to die with my original face, but I probably won’t make it in time,” Charlie said in his mind.


    Once he took Cecilia to the headquarters, he would be of no value. If the shareholders doubted him,


    they wouldn’t let him live.

    “You’re right, Mrs. Shaw. It’s been so long, and it’s nothing to wait for another one or two years.”


    ine said, “That’s quite a long time. Are you going to stay in the hotel the whole time?”


    “Well, it’s convenient for me to stay in a hotel where someone cleans the room, changes the bedding,


    and does theundry. It’s perfect for me.” ineughed and said, “You really know how to enjoy life.


    Would you stay for dinner tonight?”


    Charlie nodded without hesitation.


    “Mrs. Shaw, I want to take pictures of the crape myrtles in the backyard. There is a new medicine that


    needs pictures for advertising. The crape myrtles under the sunset will be perfect.”


    “Go ahead. Do you need a camera?”


    “No. Today’s mobile phones have high pixels and are sufficient for taking pictures.”

    Cecilia felt that Charlie was lying, so she got up and said, “I also want to enjoy the crape myrtles. I


    haven’t had a good look at them in the past three years.


    Charlie smiled and looked at Cecilia. “Cecilia, if you are so clingy to me, won’t your boyfriend be


    jealous?”


    “Who clings to you? This is my home. I can go wherever I want!”


    With that, Cecilia left the living room.


    ine watched the two of them leave and smiled. Then, she beckoned


    Bruce over and said, “Today’s dinner will be half an hourter than usual. And make more food.”


    “Sure, Mrs. Shaw.”


    Cecilia went to the equipment room through the route she had taken three days ago.


    In the southwest corner outside the equipment room, there was a 16–foot–high crape myrtle tree.


    The summer breeze brought a faint fragrance of flowers while the pink and purple petals fell with the


    wind and scattered onto the ground, forming a romantic floral carpet.


    Charlie took out his phone and took pictures of the fallen flowers on the ground and the bunches of


    flowers on the tree under the orange sunset.


    The picture was beautiful, but it was nothing special because the colors in the sky were too rich to


    highlight the beauty of the crape myrtles. In other words, Charlie’s reason for going there was false.


    Cecilia asked bluntly, “Charlie, why did youe here?”


    She didn’tmunicate in Morse code but asked directly because the electromaic radiation in the


    equipment room was so powerful that the listening device couldn’t work.


    While sending the photos to John, Charlie said, “The shareholders of Wolf Killer are suspicious of me.”


    He didn’t make it clear, but Cecilia understood.


    Three days ago, something had happened to Yvette. Cecilia had


    confronted Charlie outside the equipment room for a long time, causing the listening device to stop


    working. As a result, the eavesdropper had suspected Charlie.


    Just as Cecilia was about to say that Jeffrey might be a shareholder,

    Charlie said, “I will deal with Aiden with all my might in Dad and Mom’s cemetery tomorrow. Tell him to


    watch out.”


    He didn’t want to fight with his family at the cemetery, but he had no choice.


    Cecilia knew that she had to be an enemy of the Shaw family if she wanted to gain the trust of


    Wolf Killer.


    “Okay, I get it.” That piece of information made her trust Charlie even more. She said, “Charlie, Jeffrey


    is likely to be one of the shareholders.” Charlie was watching the fading sunset when he heard that. He


    immediately turned to look at Cecilia and asked, “Why do you think so?” He also suspected Jeffrey’s


    identity and had been monitoring him secretly but didn’t find out anything.


    Cecilia didn’t hide her doubt but expressed it openly. “Charlie, haven’t you noticed anything wrong with


    Jeffrey over the years?”


    Charlie shook his head and said, “No.” After answering, he added, “I didn’t realize it until you said it.


    The strangest thing is that there is nothing


    wrong.


    The shareholders of Wolf Killer were secretive, and it was not surprising that they were good actors


    and could hide things from him.


    It would be interesting if Jeffrey was indeed a shareholder.


    He asked Cecilia, “What’s your n?”


    Cecilia reached out to catch a falling petal and held it tightly in her palm.


    “Detain Jeffrey after you have captured me.”


    “If there is no suitable reason to detain Jeffrey, the other three shareholders will be suspicious. Even if I


    take you to the headquarters, we won’t be able to execute the n, and there will only be needless


    sacrifice.”


    “Charlie, Jeffrey definitely has ulterior motives foring to Acocester and entering the military


    hospital. We just need to wait for him to take action.”


    Cecilia told Charlie her n in order to test him for onest time.


    To put it bluntly, Charlie was just a dog of Jeffrey in Wolf Killer. If what he said and did was only an act,


    he would definitely inform Jeffrey and let him escape. Otherwise, he would be trustworthy.


    Charlie understood Cecilia’s true intention.

    He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. Let’s go. We can’t stay here for long.”


    The two soon returned to the living room and chatted with ine.


    Charlie left after dinner.


    Cecilia went to the treatment room after she had sent ine back to her


    room.


    Evan had gone through a tough time that day, and his body couldn’t take it, so he went to bed straight


    after dinner.


    On the other hand, Christopher had gotten better, and his pale face began to show some redness. If he


    recovered well, he could leave the treatment room the next day.


    Cecilia sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, “Chris, tomorrow is the death anniversary of my


    adoptive parents. How about you apany me to visit their graves?”


    When Cecilia went to the Shaw family, Amelia had been gone, and George had also left within two


    years.


    The death anniversaries of the two were close, so ine set the day of paying respects on Amelia’s.


    Cecilia actually intended to bring Christopher to meet her adoptive parents.


    Christopher nodded. “Okay.”


    When he agreed to Cecilia, he had also made one of the most important decisions in his life-a


    proposal.
