“I’ll say it. There was a job worth 1 million dollars on the black market that wanted to destroy the car

with the car plate A99999 and end the passenger inside. I gambled and lost money. I couldn’t pay the

debt so I accepted the job,” said the

man.

“I also saw the job on the black market. My son has congenital heart disease, and the hospital has

issued a notice of critical condition. If he doesn’t get treated on time, he will die. I have no choice,”

explained another man.

Christopher raised his leg and lifted a man’s chin with his foot.

“It’s a pity that there’s no more chance left for you.”

After saying that, he raised his foot and aimed at that man’s Adam’s apple.

If that man got kicked, he would most likely lose his life.

Cecilia immediately stopped Christopher. “These sc**s deserve to die, but it’s not worthy to get your

foot dirty, Mr. Christopher Forte. Let me interrogate them.”

Christopher did it on purpose to see if Cecilia would stop him. Since his speculation was confirmed, he

took a step back and let Cecilia do her thing.

Cecilia looked at the man who slumped onto the ground in horror and said, “If not for me, you’d have

been dead. If you don’t want to get your family involved in this, you’d better tell the truth. Of course,

there’s only one chance. If you still refuse to tell the truth, no one can help you.”

“I’m telling the truth.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Cecilia twisted his neck.

Her action was so fast and cruel that it took the other man a while to react. Then he passed out in

shock.

Soon, he woke up in pain.

His limbs were in severe pain, but he could not feel their presence and could not move.

The man was so frightened that cold sweat flowed into his eyes, blurring his gaze.

“Help! Help!”

He was really terrified and did not want to die at all.

Cecilia grabbed his cheek, and he instantly stopped crying for help.

“It’s pointless for you to call for help. Telling the truth is the only way out.”

The man endured the pain and nodded. “I’ll tell you everything.”

Cecilia let go of him and stood up. She looked down at him, waiting for him to tell the truth.

“In fact, all four of us once worked as mercenary. After returning to the country, we couldn’t find a

suitable job, so we accepted jobs in the black market to make money. The payment for this job was too

high. Although it was dangerous, the employer provided a route and we accepted it.”

Cecilia raised her leg and stepped on the man’s chest before exerting force on it.

“Say something useful. All this information that I can get easily won’t spare your life.”

The man felt as if there was a boulder pressing against his chest, and he had difficulty breathing.

He then said with difficulty, “The four of us have been in the black market for a long time. We do know

something behind. the scenes. This order was made by several people together, and they’re from the

prominent families in Quilton. I’ve told you everything. Please spare me.”

Cecilia withdrew her foot and looked at Christopher. “Mr. Christopher Forte, I’ll leave the rest to you. If

you find anything, please tell me.”

“Okay, give me your contact.”

Christopher had Cecilia’s phone number, but he wanted her to give it to him herself.

Cecilia then told him her phone number.

After that, she squatted down and twisted the man’s neck back to its original position.

She did not kill him. Instead, she had only used a diversionary trick to make him lose his

consciousness.

Christopher dialed Cecilia’s phone number and hung up after making sure the call had gotten through. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He called Solomon, “Send Ms. Yancey back.”

“Yes, Mr. Christopher Forte.”

As soon as Cecilia got in the car and left, she heard a siren.

Solomon glanced at Cecilia through the rearview mirror and said, “Ms. Yancey, don’t worry. Mr. Forte

will take care of everything and not get you involved.”

“Got it.”

After a while, Solomon sent Cecilia to the entrance of the residential area.

“Ms. Yancey, I’m not going in. Please let Mr. Forte know once you’ve arrived home.”

Nodding, Cecilia got out of the car and left.

After entering the residential area, she always felt that eyes were staring at her from behind.

However, every time she looked back, there was nothing.

She returned to the condominium. After she sent Christopher a message, she began investigating him

immediately.

There was nothing about Christopher’s life before he was 24 years old, and she could not gather any

information.

After that, all the traces were related to business.

In other words, he had nothing to do with the betrayal three

years ago.

Nonetheless, Cecilia had always felt that Christopher was the person who was investigating the same

matter as her.

She decided to visit Christopher’s manor at night.

At the same time, Christopher, who was assisting the police at that moment, planned to wipe out the

black market in Quilton. He had always known the existence of the black market and dealt with it

several times.

Although the black market had many illegal deals, not all of them were intended to harm others.

As long as there was no serious deal, the authorities would turn a blind eye to it.

The black market had messed with Christopher. He would not. just let things slide after arresting a few

mercenaries.

The vast black market was gotten rid of within two hours.

Christopher also got the list of those who tried to end his life.

He then sent the list to Cecilia.

It was already dawn, and Cecilia not only did not sleep but also sneaked into Christopher’s Emerald

Mansion.

Emerald Mansion was a big manor with nine main buildings. and auxiliary buildings.

The environment was beautiful, but the terrain was complex, and the place was like a maze.

If it were not for Cecilia’s good memory and sense of direction, she would have fainted after going

around and around the place just to avoid the bodyguards.

When Christopher sent her a message, she was two auxiliary buildings away from the main building.

Although the distance was not far, there were more

bodyguards. It could be said that it was extremely difficult for her to move around.

Her phone was turned off, so she did not know that Christopher had sent her a message.

When Christopher came back, Cecilia was near the main building.

However, the bodyguard was watching too closely, and she could not find a chance to enter the

building.

Just as she was about to give up, Christopher’s return attracted the attention of the bodyguard..

In the blink of an eye, she entered the main building.

The main building was very large, quiet, and dark.

As soon as Christopher entered the main building, the lights lit up in sequence.

From the living room to the corridor, and then to the bedroom.

Cecilia deliberately chose a room facing the west to hide herself.

The lights that suddenly lit up left Cecilia, who just entered the room through the balcony, with no place

to hide.

She thought there would be no one living in this kind of room. with a bad orientation, but it happened to

be Christopher’s bedroom.

“This man is such a strange person!” she muttered inwardly. Fortunately, Christopher had not come in

yet, or she would have been caught.

The bedroom was not large, and the layout was compact. There were only wardrobes and the

bathroom for her to hide.

in.

She would be found easily if she were to hide in these two spots.

Therefore, she returned to the balcony and planned to climb

over to the next room.

She found that the balcony of the room was blocked and could not climb over at all.

And it was impossible to leave.

Since Christopher came back, the security around the main building had been tightened up.

Cecilia had no choice but to hide in the corner of the balcony. She planned to leave the bedroom and

go to the study while Christopher was taking a shower.

Soon, the bedroom door was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.

She immediately started to breathe slowly to reduce the sense of her presence.

Christopher glanced at the balcony and smiled.

In fact, he knew the moment Cecilia stepped into the main building.

The main building was equipped with an infrared sensor and surveillance cameras were installed in

every corner. Anyone approaching it would have nowhere to hide.

He pulled his tie and went to the bathroom.

When the sound of water came to her ears, Cecilia immediately entered the bedroom from the balcony.

In the end, she got caught directly by Christopher who had been waiting for her.
