When she said these words out, the room fell into weird silence all of a sudden.
Because Stuart didn’t answer her.
He has already cald himself down. At the mont, he looked so calm as if he was concerned about nothing.
His eyes were so cold at the mont. Julia could not see any emotion from his eyes.
He looked at Julia casually.
Then, he loosened his hands and moved the hair on her forehead with his fingers slightly. Then he moved his fingers down slowly, along the outline of her face.
As Julia felt that coldness of his fingers moving down on her face, she felt freezing.
At the mont, it was so hard for her to remain calm.
Stuart said next to her ears in a cold and indifferent voice, "You do all these just to get a chance to sleep with , right?"
"So, do you agree to sleep with ?" Julia burst into laughter and surrounded his neck with her hands, like a sweet girl talking to her lovely husband.
But behind her smile was a sharp knife that was going to be inserted into Stuart’s body at any mont.
"You look so beautiful. When I touch you, I feel quite comfortable," Stuart continued talking in an indifferent voice. But he didn’t answer her question.
"So?"
"You don’t look like a killer struggling in the teeth of wind and rain. William really protected you well these years."
When hearing William’s na, Julia’s face changed imdiately. Apparently, she felt heartbroken.
Her eyes turned brutal imdiately, "What do you want to say?"
Hearing Julia’s question, Stuart raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a sharp smile, like the early spring after the winter.
He sat up and moved away from her, like avoiding bacteria. He sat at a distance quite strictly and said his purpose directly, "You want revenge for your brother. You want because you want to kill . Now, Edie is no longer your enemy. Your enemy is now."
When hearing these words, Julia’s face changed frequently.
Finally, she admitted, "Exactly. My enemy is you, Stuart. My brother’s future has been ruined because of you. You are the one that made my brother suffer. I would revenge for him, sooner or later. I always believed you could not fall in love with because of Edie. Now I finally realized you would never fall in love with even if you never t Edie before. Besides, she is so weak. It is so boring to torture her. But, with her in my hands, I can control you easily. I want you to be alive to finish the last thing together with ."

"What?"
"You would know soon. Don’t worry. You would know soon."
"I want to see Edie," Stuart requested, "I want to know whether she is fine now. If she was injured, I would force you to pay for it."
"Okay. No problem. I would arrange this tomorrow."
Then, Julia stood up slowly and wore the nightgown on. Then she turned around and left.
The room fell into silence again.
Stuart’s cold eyes gradually beca deeper. Deep in his eyes was a light of complexity.
Deep and scary.
***
On the second morning, Marina brought Edie breakfast as the day before.
Edie still invited her to enjoy the breakfast with her. Marina sat down with Edie without saying a word.
Edie pressed her lips and said, "Marina, I’ve discussed with Ghost. We’ve got a plan. We want to help you leave this place. Ghost is so great at disguising. He would pose you like others and take you to Aaron Yates safely."
When hearing these words, Marina frowned imdiately. She hesitated as a whole. Her eyes were mixed with different feelings. Then she said in a cold voice, "I would not leave here."
"I know you are worried about Hicks Day. She is not in Julia’s hands. Ghost can ask Aaron to protect Hicks before he takes you away. Then, both of you would be safe."
"What about you? "Marina asked Edie in a peaceful voice.
"Julia would not dare to do anything to . Don’t worry about ."
"Why are you sure? I’ve been staying with Julia for many years. I know very well about her characteristics. You might be killed by her. Besides, if you fail, you would kill you and us. Why should I believe in you?"
"Because you want to be alive. Both you and Hicks want to be alive. Compared with being tortured here to ensure your sister’s safety, it would be better for you to end this and leave. I can guarantee you Ghost would help you if you agree with this plan."
Edie held her hands and said in a sincere voice.
Edie’s words deeply touched Marina. After all, Hicks was the only family of her in this world now. She struggled to put up with all the pain because of her safety.
If this could really help her get rid of pain and ensure their safety, of course, Marina wanted to take a try.
However,
She fixed her cold clear eyes on Edie,
"Why do you help ? Why don’t you just leave with Ghost?"
At the mont, Marina’s eyes were pure and cold, like the spring in winter.
"When Ghost approached , Julia would automatically monitor his routes. So it is impossible for him to take away from this place. I have to stay here. I can distract Julia here to win Ghost more ti so that he could take you to leave this place safely."
"You want to distract Julia? I’ve been staying with Julia for many years. But I don’t dare to say that I can distract her. Why are you so sure about this? What are you going to do?"
Hearing this question, Edie raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Do you forget sothing? I am Stuart’s wife. That is the reason why she kept here. She wants to use to control Stuart. Therefore, we have lots of topics in common. As for what I am going to say to her, that is personal. Don’t worry about . I would be fine."
Edie raised her fingers and swore to god. At the mont, she looked so serious.
"But...why do you want to save ? Is it because I am Marina? If I really have sothing to do with your husband, it is your husband’s responsibility. It is none of your business. You don’t need to do this."
Marina said, with mixed feelings.
Actually...
She felt quite sad.
She felt uncomfortable when seeing Edie doing all these. Because she knew Edie did all these just to pay the debt for Stuart.
She was his wife. They were a couple. They’ve shared a lifeti of ups and downs.
Seeing this, Marina felt so sad and jealous. But she’s been suffering for such a long ti. She didn’t feel so painful at the bottom of the heart now.
She felt numb now.
She looked towards Edie, sincerely.
Edie smiled, "I think. Stuart would make the sa decision. I just follow his advice. He...actually wishes you are alive. I .... also want you to be alive."
Hearing these words, Marina couldn’t help herself trembling a little bit.
She didn’t expect she would hear such an answer from Edie.
