Edie pressed on her lips and asked confusingly, "The Leon’s that William ntioned just now...is your family, right? You must know sothing about that bracelet."
She rolled up her sleeves, showing Arther the bracelet on her arms. Arther’s face changed slightly.
So...he really knew sothing about this bracelet.
"William told Cecil’s father is Norman’s n. Is it true? What role are you playing in this?"
"Edie..."
Arther opened his mouth. But he hesitated for a while. It seed hard for him to tell Edie what he was about to tell her.
After quite a while, he started talking, "In A, it is that kept spying on you. Not Cecil."
His answer exploded in Edie’s brain, like a thunder. Edie froze.
"So.... so you enter my house because of this?"
"Yes," Arther answered.
"What William said was true. My uncle is a bad guy."
"I could not give you a perfect explanation now. Noble is indeed Leon’s man. Everything happening in A was our plan. Cecil had nothing to do with this. I don’t want to hurt you, actually. But....this is my task. I have to do this." Arther looked so painful. He was trying the best to press his feeling.
"Why? Why don’t you tell ? What made it so hard for you to tell the truth?" Edie got heated. All she wanted to know was the truth.
What did they want from him? Why did William imprison her? What about Stuart? Did he know anything? Did he know everything?
All of a sudden, all questions popped into her mind. She almost broke down.
"I could not tell you now. From now on, allow to protect you. I would not leave you until Stuart cos here to take you away."
"Could...could I believe you now?" Edie said desperately.
She felt so hopeless and lost. She was driven crazy now.
Arther pressed his lips. It was hard to interpret the expression on his face. He stepped back to keep a safe distance with Edie and said, "I would convince you."
While they were talking, Kenley showed up at the door, "Mr. Arther, Mr. William wants you to find him in his study."
"Okay."
Arther said calmly. He looked so elegant and proud, with the temper of a soldier. When he answered the invitation, he had already recovered to normal. At the mont, he looked sharp and scary.
When he passed through Edie, he fell into silence for a while and said, "Last night, thank you for helping my brother."
Edie answered after a while, "If I know he was the man planning all these, I might hesitate for a while. Maybe I would hand him to William."
"You wouldn’t," Arther said in a light voice, "You have a kind heart. It is impossible for you to do nothing to save soone from ruin. I really appreciate it. We own you this."
After saying these significant, aningful words, Arther left with Kenley.
When Arther arrived in the study, he saw more than William. There were so many people there. And he saw a man quite familiar. Stuart was also among them.
Arther squinted. He already knew what he wanted. "What do you want to tell ?"
"As the heir of Leon’s, you are my respectful guest. Of course, I want to talk to you. Since we’ve gathered together now, we can start directly."
William crossed his legs and fell into the soft sofa. He pinched the cigar in one hand. Kenley lit the cigar for him carefully.
Then his face got ambiguous in the smoke. His voice kept heaving. Because of the wound at the throat, his voice sounded so weird.
"Let’s stop blathering. As long as Leon’s could turn a blind eye to us and pretend that nothing happened, we could accept all your requirents. You asked Noble to take Mrs. Yates away. We don’t like that. If that happened again, we might be angry."
"It is the battle between you and . We all know the significance of Mrs. Yates. She could be used to limit Mr. CEO. How about this? Both you and I give up on her. Let Stuart take his wife back, okay?"
As William finished talking, Arther looked towards the man at the corner. The light was so dimr there. The man was hiding in the darkness. It was difficult for Arther to see the expression on his face clearly.
What was Stuart thinking?
Nobody knew.
Though what they were talking about was closely related to him, Stuart didn’t say a word. He was as silent as a statue. He didn’t even open his eyes. He looked so idling and lazy as if he didn’t care about anything.
William also looked towards him. His face was full of smiles. No one knew what that ant.
Mrs. Yates ca to visit . She could go back at any ti, as long as Mr. Yates ca to ask ."
He asked the man in the darkness and kept smiling.
Hearing these words, Stuart opened his deep and dark eyes.
"I’ve co."
These two words sounded extrely cold and frightening.
"Great. Then wish you a good journey."
Stuart stood up and walked to the door. His back looked indifferent and determined, making the n behind him shocked.
Inside the study, there was only Arther and William.
"We can sign the contract now. We could get anybody else to get involved in our battle. Otherwise, the balance would lose balance. The result would be terrible.
Arther stood up and warned. His face looked so cold.
Both of them knew clearly that the most important role here was to restrict Stuart. That was why Noble took her away. Then, William took her to his castle. Now the best solution was to return her back to Stuart.
They wanted to draw Stuart in by controlling Edie. But that would make the balance incline to one side.
Only by allowing Stuart to take Edie back ho could their relationship be balanced.
"Okay. I didn’t want to break the balance, either. It seed that Leon’s always made things difficult for us. Always."
"When you imprisoned Mrs. Yates, we have the right to do anything. You are not qualified to ask to explain anything. But from now on, if Leon’s n dare to do such a thing and get caught by you, you can do whatever you want. Certainly, if I caught your n, I would never show any rcy. I would destroy your organization to maintain the justice of the law."
Arther said coldly. At that mont, he looked so frightening.
"So, let’s battle with our own skills," William smiled and left.
When William walked out of the door, Kenley told him an unexpected thing, "Aaron broke in. What should we do now?"
"He is here? That is Stuart’s business. I don’t need to get involved. Where did you catch him?"
"He....got here voluntarily. He was fighting against our guards just now."
Kenley recalled what he saw just now. Aaron fought against a group of guards alone, like a crazy dog.
