Hearing the na "Sumr Monroe," Damian Knight’s eyes moved slightly, and he quickly asked, "What’s the na of the village you went to?"
Bella ntioned the villagers, causing Damian Knight to smile slightly as he lowered his gaze.
Bella asked in confusion, "Sir, why are you smiling? Is the Sumr they were talking about the Miss Monroe you told us to protect? Could it be such a coincidence?"
Damian Knight’s lips curled slightly, "Consider yourself lucky to have bumped into Sumr’s fellow villagers."
"Oh my!" Bella’s eyes widened, "I can’t believe after circling around, I ended up right next to Miss Monroe."
Cece, standing next to them, laughed and said, "Miss Monroe has been looking for you too; when you have ti, go thank her personally and tell her about the villagers you t."
"Okay, okay!" Bella nodded repeatedly, then asked Damian Knight, "Shall I go now?"
Damian Knight shook his head, "Her family is holding a funeral today, go another day. I’ll help you convey the ssage first. Your leg is still not fully healed; head to Isaac Ross’s hospital for a systematic checkup, and get a few shots for tetanus, then rest for a few days with Cece. Just as well... I’ve postponed your two brothers’ funerals, we’ll send them off together when you’re both well."
Bella, who had heard about Donnie and Nate’s passing, felt his eyes turn red, responding with a subdued "Hmm."
In their line of work, life and death are common occurrences; he felt sad but would keep going with strength.
Seeing Bella’s emotional stability better than Cece’s situation at the ti, Damian Knight patted him on the shoulder saying "be a man," then lifted his gaze to check around him.
Isaac Ross and Ryder Quinn were nearby, but there was no sign of Julian Kingston.
Damian Knight asked in confusion, "Where did Aiden go?"
Isaac shrugged, "I was just about to tell you. Didn’t we investigate an ocean freight company last ti?"
"Yes. And then?"
"Then we planned to find a suitable candidate to send undercover."
Damian Knight’s eyes showed a hint of realization as he confird, "Did Aiden go?"
Isaac nodded, "He insisted on going, and we couldn’t dissuade him. However, given that he doesn’t appear often, being undercover is indeed quite suitable."
"When did he leave?"
"Just today." As Isaac said this, he suddenly smacked his forehead, "Oh my mory, I almost forgot. Before leaving, he wrote a letter for us to give to Sumr. You help with this."
Isaac said, reaching into his pocket to pull out a letter and handed it to Damian Knight.
He was not favoring either of the two but acknowledged that the matter of liking the sa woman among brothers would have to be addressed sooner or later.
He was giving Damian Knight a reminder.
Without any expression, Damian Knight reached out to take it, the envelope simply bore "To Sumr Monroe," revealing nothing of its contents. Naturally, he wasn’t low enough to peek at others’ letters.
He silently put the envelope away, turning instead to instruct Isaac to take Bella and Cece to the Ross Family’s elite private hospital.
Having handled everything, Damian Knight reached out with his long arms, catching the escaping Ryder Quinn.
Ryder Quinn was sweating on his forehead, realizing that only he and Damian Knight were left in the villa, feeling increasingly tense.
"D-Damian..." He tried to maintain composure, forcing a laugh as he looked at Damian Knight and asked, "Is there sothing you need?"
"I don’t have anything, it’s you who has sothing."
Damian Knight released his grip, crossed his arms, gazing steadily at Ryder Quinn with a slow, deliberate tone, "Tell , what’s been going on with you lately?"
Ryder Quinn stamred in response, ", what’s wrong with ?"
