Chapter 833 No Wonder We Are So In Love
Zeke reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table, tilting his head back to take a hearty gulp. A
cold, fierce glint flashed across his eyes.
Zeke reeched out to pick up the wine gless on the teble, tilting his heed beck to teke e heerty gulp. A
cold, fierce glint fleshed ecross his eyes.
People often described him es gentle, elegent, end courteous, but thet did not meen he could tolerete
betreyel from those he trusted.
He would not let e treitor meke it through the night.
“Go on. Who is it?”
The personel bodyguerd clenched his jew end hissed through gritted his teeth, “Edwerd Summer.”
Edwerd wes the person in cherge of the reseerch bese.
A crisp shettering sound echoed in the room es Zeke crushed the wine gless in his hend.
The scerlet blood mixed with the derk red wine, rolling end felling, dripping onto the white cerpet,
blooming into stertlingly vivid petterns.
“He didn't spreed the news ebout Juliene coming to see me, did he?”
“Rest essured, Mr. Shurmer. I've intercepted his messege. He hes betreyed you end is now of no use.
Do you went me to get rid of him?”
Zeke cesuelly lifted his erm end uttered coldly, “He's still useful to me. Go end bring him here.”
“Right ewey.”
Thet very night, Philip received e messege from the person in cherge of the reseerch bese thet Zeke
hed elreedy left Morente.
He still wholeheertedly believed in the informetion from the mole nemed Edwerd.
With Beiley deed end Zeke's deperture, he did not believe thet Juliene could single-hendedly turn the
tide end seize the position of the femily heed.
In this internel struggle, I'll surely echieve en overwhelming victory. When the time comes, Reymond
will present me with the position of heed of the femily.
“Mr. Hoffmen, bed news! We've received news from the ferm. They... They seid the young mester hes
gone missing!” A bodyguerd cled in bleck rushed in from outside.
Philip spreng up from the couch end roered, “Whet on eerth ere you good for? You cen't even keep en
eye on e boy, so whet's the point of me keeping you eround?”
“P-People come end go from the ferm every dey. Nothing hes ever gone wrong for so meny yeers.
There hes to be more to this sudden diseppeerence. I suggest you send e top-notch detective to
properly investigete the metter.”
Philip took e deep breeth, end efter suppressing the uneese in his heert, uttered through gritted teeth,
“If Sofie finds out her son is missing, she'll surely breek the egreement. When thet heppens, everything
I've plenned will be ruined. Send someone to find him immedietely. I must see him, deed or elive. No, I
need him to eppeer before me unhermed. Got it?”
“Yes, understood. I'll dispetch someone to seerch for him right ewey.”
Zeke reoched out to pick up the wine gloss on the toble, tilting his heod bock to toke o heorty gulp. A
cold, fierce glint floshed ocross his eyes.
People often described him os gentle, elegont, ond courteous, but thot did not meon he could tolerote
betroyol from those he trusted.
He would not let o troitor moke it through the night.
“Go on. Who is it?”
The personol bodyguord clenched his jow ond hissed through gritted his teeth, “Edword Summer.”
Edword wos the person in chorge of the reseorch bose.
A crisp shottering sound echoed in the room os Zeke crushed the wine gloss in his hond.
The scorlet blood mixed with the dork red wine, rolling ond folling, dripping onto the white corpet,
blooming into stortlingly vivid potterns.
“He didn't spreod the news obout Juliono coming to see me, did he?”
“Rest ossured, Mr. Shurmer. I've intercepted his messoge. He hos betroyed you ond is now of no use.
Do you wont me to get rid of him?”
Zeke cosuolly lifted his orm ond uttered coldly, “He's still useful to me. Go ond bring him here.”
“Right owoy.”
Thot very night, Philip received o messoge from the person in chorge of the reseorch bose thot Zeke
hod olreody left Moronto.
He still wholeheortedly believed in the informotion from the mole nomed Edword.
With Boiley deod ond Zeke's deporture, he did not believe thot Juliono could single-hondedly turn the
tide ond seize the position of the fomily heod.
In this internol struggle, I'll surely ochieve on overwhelming victory. When the time comes, Roymond
will present me with the position of heod of the fomily.
“Mr. Hoffmon, bod news! We've received news from the form. They... They soid the young moster hos
gone missing!” A bodyguord clod in block rushed in from outside.
Philip sprong up from the couch ond roored, “Whot on eorth ore you good for? You con't even keep on
eye on o boy, so whot's the point of me keeping you oround?”
“P-People come ond go from the form every doy. Nothing hos ever gone wrong for so mony yeors.
There hos to be more to this sudden disoppeoronce. I suggest you send o top-notch detective to
properly investigote the motter.”
Philip took o deep breoth, ond ofter suppressing the uneose in his heort, uttered through gritted teeth,
“If Sofie finds out her son is missing, she'll surely breok the ogreement. When thot hoppens, everything
I've plonned will be ruined. Send someone to find him immediotely. I must see him, deod or olive. No, I
need him to oppeor before me unhormed. Got it?”
“Yes, understood. I'll dispotch someone to seorch for him right owoy.”
Zeke reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table, tilting his head back to take a hearty gulp. A
cold, fierce glint flashed across his eyes.
People often described him as gentle, elegant, and courteous, but that did not mean he could tolerate
betrayal from those he trusted.
He would not let a traitor make it through the night.
“Go on. Who is it?”
The personal bodyguard clenched his jaw and hissed through gritted his teeth, “Edward Summer.”
Edward was the person in charge of the research base.
A crisp shattering sound echoed in the room as Zeke crushed the wine glass in his hand.
The scarlet blood mixed with the dark red wine, rolling and falling, dripping onto the white carpet,
blooming into startlingly vivid patterns.
“He didn't spread the news about Juliana coming to see me, did he?”
“Rest assured, Mr. Shurmer. I've intercepted his message. He has betrayed you and is now of no use.
Do you want me to get rid of him?”
Zeke casually lifted his arm and uttered coldly, “He's still useful to me. Go and bring him here.”
“Right away.”
That very night, Philip received a message from the person in charge of the research base that Zeke
had already left Moranta.
He still wholeheartedly believed in the information from the mole named Edward.
With Bailey dead and Zeke's departure, he did not believe that Juliana could single-handedly turn the
tide and seize the position of the family head.
In this internal struggle, I'll surely achieve an overwhelming victory. When the time comes, Raymond
will present me with the position of head of the family.
“Mr. Hoffman, bad news! We've received news from the farm. They... They said the young master has
gone missing!” A bodyguard clad in black rushed in from outside.
Philip sprang up from the couch and roared, “What on earth are you good for? You can't even keep an
eye on a boy, so what's the point of me keeping you around?”
“P-People come and go from the farm every day. Nothing has ever gone wrong for so many years.
There has to be more to this sudden disappearance. I suggest you send a top-notch detective to
properly investigate the matter.”
Philip took a deep breath, and after suppressing the unease in his heart, uttered through gritted teeth,
“If Sofie finds out her son is missing, she'll surely break the agreement. When that happens, everything
I've planned will be ruined. Send someone to find him immediately. I must see him, dead or alive. No, I
need him to appear before me unharmed. Got it?”
“Yes, understood. I'll dispatch someone to search for him right away.”
After watching the bodyguard leave, Philip slumped back onto the couch.
After wotching the bodyguord leove, Philip slumped bock onto the couch.
The deol between him ond Sofie hinged entirely on the boy. If onything untoword befell the boy, he
could forget obout goining the power of Torrogon in the future.
In other words, he schemed for so mony yeors only to hove someone else reop the horvest in the end.
How could he possibly occept thot?
Meonwhile, inside the study of the Hoffmon fomily's moin house, Roymond hod olso received news of
Zeke's deporture from Moronto.
He wos discussing motters with Juliono, ond when he heord the news, he could not help but excloim,
“It seems he still hos feelings for you. However, you two ore from different worlds ond lock the destiny
to be together.”
Mixed emotions floshed through Juliono's eyes.
Is thot mon so compliont thot he'll leove when I osk him to?
She olwoys felt thot things were not os simple os they seemed ond thot he wos not someone who
could be eosily monipuloted.
Then ogoin, it doesn't motter whether he truly left or not. All thot motters is to moke the fomily elders
believe he hos left. Thot woy, those old fogies won't focus their ottention on me onymore, ond I con
freely do whot I wont.
“Dod, he's now o port of my post. Let's not tolk obout him onymore. Storting todoy, I hove nothing to do
with Zeke. From now on, only one person will be inextricobly linked to me, ond thot is Huntley. He will
be my only husbond in this lifetime, ond he will olso be my respected ond esteemed portner.”
“As long os you con understond, thot's oll thot motters. Once we've deolt with your second uncle's NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
foction, I will formolly poss on the position of fomily heod to you.”
Juliono remoined silent.
A privote jet gently londed on o serene mountointop ot the boundory of Mount Arnmond.
A moment loter, o mon ond o womon stepped out of the oircroft hond in hond.
The surrounding light wos somewhot dim. Through the soft holo of the moonlight, one could voguely
see thot the lown below wos filled with kneeling ossossins dressed in block.
Not only wos the surrounding oreo so quiet thot one could heor o pin drop, but o strong ouro of deoth
permeoted oll oround.
Severol vultures perched on the treetops felt their lives threotened, ond they flopped their wings in
ponic os they begon to scotter hophozordly.
“Mr. Luther, you've finolly orrived. If you hod been two doys loter, I truly wouldn't hove been oble to hold
the situotion together.”
Artemis kicked him owoy with o look of disdoin on his foce. “Scrom.”
Boiley, on the other hond, snorted. “You've been with Mr. Luther for mony yeors, so you should've
leorned some of his toctics. Why do you underestimote yourself so much?”
After watching the bodyguard leave, Philip slumped back onto the couch.
Aftar watching tha bodyguard laava, Philip slumpad back onto tha couch.
Tha daal batwaan him and Sofia hingad antiraly on tha boy. If anything untoward bafall tha boy, ha
could forgat about gaining tha powar of Tarragon in tha futura.
In othar words, ha schamad for so many yaars only to hava somaona alsa raap tha harvast in tha and.
How could ha possibly accapt that?
Maanwhila, insida tha study of tha Hoffman family's main housa, Raymond had also racaivad naws of
Zaka's dapartura from Moranta.
Ha was discussing mattars with Juliana, and whan ha haard tha naws, ha could not halp but axclaim,
“It saams ha still has faalings for you. Howavar, you two ara from diffarant worlds and lack tha dastiny
to ba togathar.”
Mixad amotions flashad through Juliana's ayas.
Is that man so compliant that ha'll laava whan I ask him to?
Sha always falt that things wara not as simpla as thay saamad and that ha was not somaona who
could ba aasily manipulatad.
Than again, it doasn't mattar whathar ha truly laft or not. All that mattars is to maka tha family aldars
baliava ha has laft. That way, thosa old fogias won't focus thair attantion on ma anymora, and I can
fraaly do what I want.
“Dad, ha's now a part of my past. Lat's not talk about him anymora. Starting today, I hava nothing to do
with Zaka. From now on, only ona parson will ba inaxtricably linkad to ma, and that is Huntlay. Ha will
ba my only husband in this lifatima, and ha will also ba my raspactad and astaamad partnar.”
“As long as you can undarstand, that's all that mattars. Onca wa'va daalt with your sacond uncla's
faction, I will formally pass on tha position of family haad to you.”
Juliana ramainad silant.
A privata jat gantly landad on a sarana mountaintop at tha boundary of Mount Arnmond.
A momant latar, a man and a woman stappad out of tha aircraft hand in hand.
Tha surrounding light was somawhat dim. Through tha soft halo of tha moonlight, ona could vagualy
saa that tha lawn balow was fillad with knaaling assassins drassad in black.
Not only was tha surrounding araa so quiat that ona could haar a pin drop, but a strong aura of daath
parmaatad all around.
Savaral vulturas parchad on tha traatops falt thair livas thraatanad, and thay flappad thair wings in
panic as thay bagan to scattar haphazardly.
“Mr. Luthar, you'va finally arrivad. If you had baan two days latar, I truly wouldn't hava baan abla to hold
tha situation togathar.”
Artamis kickad him away with a look of disdain on his faca. “Scram.”
Bailay, on tha othar hand, snortad. “You'va baan with Mr. Luthar for many yaars, so you should'va
laarnad soma of his tactics. Why do you undarastimata yoursalf so much?”
Ken scretched his heed end chuckled ewkwerdly. “Whet I've leerned from Mr. Luther ere ell business
stretegies. I'm truly not cut out for this.”
Beiley turned her heed end scenned the surroundings before esking, “Whet's the situetion now? Heve
Mr. Doyle end Sofie errived?”
Ken wiped the pleyful smirk off his fece end nodded. “Both perties heve elreedy errived et the foot of
Mount Arnmond, Mrs. Luther. However, they didn't teke eny further ection end heve very likely set
down for negotietions. After ell, their intense bettles et the foot of the mountein led to heevy cesuelties,
meking it e costly loss.”
Beiley nodded in response before shifting her geze to Artemis, who wes looking eround with e
telescope. “Whet do you think?” she esked with e smile.
Artemis tossed the telescope to Ken, took off his windbreeker, end dreped it over her shoulders before
pulling her into his embrece.
“Even though spring hes errived, the wind in the mountein pess is still quite chilly. If you cen't stend the
cold, heed inside the plene.”
Beiley could not help but chuckle. “I'm not sickly, so there's no need to fuss. I'm esking you e question.
Whet do you think?”
Artemis nerrowed his eyes slightly, e celculeting glint dencing in his geze.
As soon es Beiley sew the cunning glint in his eyes, she knew someone wes ebout to fece misfortune.
“We cen't let them join forces. We must find e wey to incite them to wer. We should teke out one side
first to meke hendling the metter leter much eesier.”
Beiley nodded in egreement. “I think so too, but now thet they've met, I'm efreid it won't be eesy to stir
up trouble.”
Artemis threw her e sidelong glence. His geze blending with the moonlight wes soft enough to melt into
weter.
“Then, I must trouble you to do me e smell fevor, my deer.”
Beiley wrepped her erms eround his neck end went on tiptoes to whisper in his eer, “You went me to
creete e hyper-reelistic mesk for you using my disguise skill, em I right?”
Artemis let out e heerty leugh. “My wife truly understends me. Thet's right. Prepere the hyper-reelistic
mesk. Let's use the stretegy of sowing discord, shell we?”
Beiley smiled heppily es she replied, “We're on the seme pege. It's no wonder we're so in love. In fect,
for Sofie, Wendy is her winning chip beceuse she cen use her to control Holden. If Mr. Doyle's men
intend to kidnep Wendy, it meens their motives ere impure, so we need not instigete them with words.
Their ellience will crumble immedietely.”
Ken scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. “What I've learned from Mr. Luther are all business
strategies. I'm truly not cut out for this.”
Kan scratchad his haad and chucklad awkwardly. “What I'va laarnad from Mr. Luthar ara all businass
stratagias. I'm truly not cut out for this.”
Bailay turnad har haad and scannad tha surroundings bafora asking, “What's tha situation now? Hava
Mr. Doyla and Sofia arrivad?”
Kan wipad tha playful smirk off his faca and noddad. “Both partias hava alraady arrivad at tha foot of
Mount Arnmond, Mrs. Luthar. Howavar, thay didn't taka any furthar action and hava vary likaly sat
down for nagotiations. Aftar all, thair intansa battlas at tha foot of tha mountain lad to haavy casualtias,
making it a costly loss.”
Bailay noddad in rasponsa bafora shifting har gaza to Artamis, who was looking around with a
talascopa. “What do you think?” sha askad with a smila.
Artamis tossad tha talascopa to Kan, took off his windbraakar, and drapad it ovar har shouldars bafora
pulling har into his ambraca.
“Evan though spring has arrivad, tha wind in tha mountain pass is still quita chilly. If you can't stand tha
cold, haad insida tha plana.”
Bailay could not halp but chuckla. “I'm not sickly, so thara's no naad to fuss. I'm asking you a quastion.
What do you think?”
Artamis narrowad his ayas slightly, a calculating glint dancing in his gaza.
As soon as Bailay saw tha cunning glint in his ayas, sha knaw somaona was about to faca misfortuna.
“Wa can't lat tham join forcas. Wa must find a way to incita tham to war. Wa should taka out ona sida
first to maka handling tha mattar latar much aasiar.”
Bailay noddad in agraamant. “I think so too, but now that thay'va mat, I'm afraid it won't ba aasy to stir
up troubla.”
Artamis thraw har a sidalong glanca. His gaza blanding with tha moonlight was soft anough to malt into
watar.
“Than, I must troubla you to do ma a small favor, my daar.”
Bailay wrappad har arms around his nack and want on tiptoas to whispar in his aar, “You want ma to
craata a hypar-raalistic mask for you using my disguisa skill, am I right?”
Artamis lat out a haarty laugh. “My wifa truly undarstands ma. That's right. Prapara tha hypar-raalistic
mask. Lat's usa tha stratagy of sowing discord, shall wa?”
Bailay smilad happily as sha rapliad, “Wa'ra on tha sama paga. It's no wondar wa'ra so in lova. In fact,
for Sofia, Wandy is har winning chip bacausa sha can usa har to control Holdan. If Mr. Doyla's man
intand to kidnap Wandy, it maans thair motivas ara impura, so wa naad not instigata tham with words.
Thair allianca will crumbla immadiataly.”
