Chapter 62 He's Not the Problem
Eleanor's beautiful eyes slowly fell on the puzzled look on Sebastian's handsome face. Sitting languidly, he had an elegant and charming air.
A smile curled the corners of her mouth. "I don't know, but you mark my words. I won't hurt you. You don't need to have any doubts about my identity. I'm just a simple person. I'm whatever you find out I am."
Sebastian replied in a flat tone, "What seems simple is actually very complicated!"
Eleanor curled up the corners of her mouth. "Take it or leave it. I won't give two sh*ts if you don't believe me."
A lot of things were still unresolved.
She had hate for him in her heart, which couldn't be quelled.
Neither of them said anything. Even though they were married, they were still strangers. Things got pretty tense all of a sudden.
Eleanor gently stroked her neck that Sebastian had put his hands around, and a dull ache consumed her.
He squeezed hard, and thus, her neck would definitely turn black-and-blue in a while. Fortunately, Waylon couldn't see, otherwise, she didn't know how to explain to him.
As Sebastian watched her movements, his eyes flickered, and then he lowered his eyes without saying anything.
A few minutes later, there was a noisy sound of footsteps coming from downstairs. Christian went up ahead, followed by two bodyguards walking a man in a suit into the study.
There was a murderous look in Sebastian's eyes. He glanced at Eleanor and said, "You go get some rest."
Eleanor nodded slightly. Sebastian had a lot of secrets, and the less she knew, the better.
When Eleanor walked out of the door, she couldn't help but look at Sebastian again. He was sitting leisurely in the wheelchair, but his aura was very intimidating. He seemed to control everything, striking fear into the hearts of all those who stood against him.
The door was closed with a bang. Sebastian's face suddenly turned cold, looking down on the trembling man with his bloodthirsty black eyes.
"Mr. Moore, I..."
"Snap..." Vincent slapped Caleb on the face and said furiously, "Caleb, you treacherous bastard, how dare you betray Mr. Moore? Mr. Moore saved you back then. Without Mr. Moore, you would have long been dead."
Vincent was very angry. Without Sebastian, he and Caleb would have long been dead.
Caleb looked at Vincent and then at Sebastian before speaking in pain, "Vincent, no, I didn't. I never wanted to betray Mr. Moore. They threatened me. They got my mother's address out of nowhere and got my mother. I did it on purpose so that Mr. Moore would find out that the computer files had been stolen, and then I could report it to them. If I had betrayed Mr. Moore, I would have left long ago, and you wouldn't have had a chance to catch me. Mr. Moore, please give me a chance to redeem myself. Let me go and I'll go undercover for you."
Caleb painfully looked at Sebastian with a sincere expression on his face.
Sebastian looked at Caleb indifferently. "You think I need an undercover agent like you?"
Caleb didn't have anything to say. Sebastian had many enemies in the business world, but he had gotten to where he was because he conducted his business with an iron hand, scaring the pants off everyone.
Christian knew Caleb and Vincent worked for Sebastian for many years, and that Sebastian couldn't bear to lay hands on Caleb.
He asked, "Who is behind it?"
Caleb shook his head. "Mr. Thomas, I don't know. You check my phone."
Vincent didn't want Caleb to die, found Caleb's cell phone and handed it to Christian.
Christian clicked on it. It was Caleb's mother in the video, and someone growled and threatened Caleb.
Caleb was required to deliver the project materials to the designated location by 7:00 tonight.
Christian showed the phone to Sebastian.
When Sebastian checked it out, he looked at Caleb and said, "You made copies of the project materials?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Caleb nodded and said, "Mr. Moore, I did copy the project materials, but I changed the contents."
Christian said angrily, "Give it to me."
Vincent found a flash drive in Caleb's clothes and handed it to Sebastian.
Sebastian put the flash drive in his computer's USB port and carefully looked it over.
Caleb didn't know how to run a business. Although he had tampered with what was on the drive, it didn't make much sense.
Sebastian reworked the information in the flash drive, and when he made sure it was all right, he handed it to Caleb and said leisurely, "You send it to the man who threatened you, and get your mother out. Kingston, you go with Caleb."
"Yes, Mr. Moore." Kingston nodded slightly.
Kingston bent down and helped Caleb to his feet. "Let's go."
"Thank you, Mr. Moore!" Caleb was immensely grateful to Sebastian. As ruthless as Sebastian was, he went easy on his men. Caleb would never betray him.
When Caleb and Kingston were about to leave, Sebastian glanced at Kingston thoughtfully. "Kingston, you don't have to go. I want Vincent to go with Caleb since they have always worked so well together. Kingston, you stay with me."
Kingston's eyes flickered and he said, "Yes, Mr. Moore."
Christian was worried because Caleb was all brawn and no brains as well as impulsive.
Christian looked at Sebastian and said calmly, "I'll go with them."
Sebastian cautioned, "Be careful."
Christian nodded and turned to leave.
As Kingston watched them leave, he pursed his lips and clenched his fists, an odd look crossing his eyes.
Sebastian gave Kingston an unemotional glance and said, "You stay here and keep guard. I have a lot of work to do."
"Yes, Mr. Moore!" Kingston stood straight with his hands behind his back, looking straight ahead.
Sebastian sat back down at his computer and got back to work.
He had always put his heart and soul into his work, but at this moment, he couldn't concentrate on his work when he looked at the computer screen but kept thinking of the look of agony on Eleanor's face.
He set his sexy lips tight, and his eyes were fathomless. He couldn't calm himself down.
He was agitated, but he still had an indifferent and genteel look on his handsome face.
He carefully read the materials for a while, but then he could hardly concentrate. Therefore, he gave up and stared at the computer in a daze.
Eleanor returned to her room and went to the bathroom to shower before she applied medicine to her neck, trying not to leave any marks.
But despite this, Eleanor's neck was visibly bruised.
Waylon bit his lip slightly when he saw Eleanor come out of the shower with the bruises all over her pale neck.
He wondered, "What has Dad done to Mom?"
"Waylon, it's early yet for bedtime. What do you want to do? I'll keep you company." Eleanor sat in front of Waylon.
She thought of her other three children and was very excited, a grin spreading over her face.
With four sons, she had a powerful presence.
Waylon asked, "What happened to your voice?"
Her voice was hoarse. Clearly, her throat was hurt.
Eleanor looked at Waylon and smiled, rubbing his head. "Waylon, I'm fine. I just have a little cold and I'll be fine tomorrow."
Waylon pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, nestled into the couch, and didn't say a word.
He thought to himself, "Dad was bad. He bullied Mom!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Sebastian waited for Christian and the other two companions to come back before sending everyone back to rest. He only asked Christian to stay.
Christian told Sebastian about what had happened tonight and finally came to a conclusion.
"The person who asked Caleb to steal the project materials is Hailey's father, Cameron. That old bastard wants to marry his daughter to you, but meanwhile, he's trying to annex your company. He's overly ambitious."
Sebastian laughed disdainfully. "He's nothing but a clown. He is not a serious threat. I'll make him suffer tonight. Let's wait for something to happen."
