If the rumors are true, and the Trevia bloodline is indeed different from ordinary people, then perhaps he really should keep what he learned from Susan Stone to himself, away from Sumr Monroe.
That would be protecting her.
Damian Knight secretly decided to first investigate Trevia, and once he was certain of what they were hiding, he would then tell Sumr about it.
anwhile.
Sumr Monroe pushed Stella Monroe for answers again, but she didn’t get anything out of her.
Felix Jennings was very worried about Stella’s situation and urged again, "Sumr, can you let us go now? Stella truly doesn’t know anything else; I know her, and I know she’s telling the truth."
Sumr didn’t listen to Felix; she only secretly observed Stella’s micro-expressions.
The Williams couple are internationally renowned psychology experts. They’ve only begun studying Ancient Chinese dicine for the past ten years. Having grown up around the Williams, observing micro-expressions is second nature to her.
Using behavioral psychology, she ticulously analyzed the micro-expressions on Stella’s face and finally confird that Stella really didn’t know anything more.
"Alright." Sumr nodded slightly, curled her lips, and said, "When I make a promise, I keep it. Untie the ropes on Felix Jennings."
Felix’s eyes imdiately brightened as he cooperated with the bodyguard to free himself from the restraints.
Once the ropes were untied, Felix rushed to Stella’s side and hugged her tightly.
"Are you okay, Stella?"
Stella still had traces of blood at the corners of her mouth from coughing up earlier. She weakly lay in Felix’s arms, shook her head, and said, "I’m okay..."
"Let’s go! She agreed to let us go."
Stella looked sowhat dazed, but hearing those words brought her so vitality.
"We can really leave now?"
"Yes, really, she’s let go."
Stella was both surprised and doubtful, suspicious of why Sumr would let her go after knowing that she had truly killed her own mother with her own hands.
But it was aningless to delve too much into it; she’d better take this chance to quickly leave this dreadful place!
"Let’s go." Stella stood up, and like star-crossed lovers, she and Felix supported each other as they walked out.
"Wait." Sumr’s voice rang out again.
Both Felix and Stella halted simultaneously.
Stella turned angrily to look at Sumr.
"Are you going back on your word?"
"No." Sumr spread her hands and said, "I said you could leave, but I didn’t say how many people could go."
Felix was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged as he asked through gritted teeth, "Sumr, what do you an?!"
With a smile on her lips, Sumr said lightly, "Stella can answer only one of my questions, so I can only let one of you two leave. It’s fair; you choose who among you should go."
Felix and Stella both shouted in unison, "You’re playing us?!"
Sumr looked innocently at them and said, "I’m not playing you. If it’s a negotiation, it has to be fair. You answered only one question, so only one person can leave. I don’t have much ti to waste; hurry up and choose."
"You! You’re playing word gas with us!" Felix pointed at Sumr’s nose, itching to tear her apart.
Damian Knight stepped forward, pushed Felix’s hand away, and said, "If you dare point at her again, neither of you will leave. Be sensible and choose quickly."
Felix fell into silence, already certain that Sumr was determined to let only one of them go.
