Chapter 361
Chapter 361 Preston I wasn't jealous at all.
Andrew didn't ask any more questions about the "employer".
The venomous snake had just died, if he showed too much concern, he would be suspected by the organization.
They could only proceed cautiously, find the employer who wanted to kill Hedy, and then send her to the afterlife, not allowing her to disturb Iledy's current life.
The beautiful life,
Emotions suddenly flared up, desperately needing an outlet.
Andrew habitually took out the compressed sugar that he always carried in his pocket, put it in his mouth and bit it into pieces.
The sweet sugar, at last, managed to retreat the boundless bitterness by a third.
Andrew drove away.
Hedy also came to the hotel front desk and politely said, "Hello, I would like to extend my stay. Could you tell me whose identification was used by the person who booked the room?"
"My friend just left. If he used his, I need to call him back immediately."
The purpose of her doing so was to investigate the identity of the masked man.
Once the identity was known, it was possible to follow the clues and find out the reason why he killed first and saved later, as well as his employer behind the scenes.
"Alright, please wait a moment." The receptionist said with a sweet smile. After typing on the keyboard, her eyes slightly changed, but the smile remained.
"You had no authority to access his identity, did you have the 'membership' privilege"?"
The Sunshine Hotel served all assassins, but that didn't mean the assassins had no privacy in front of them.
To investigate a killer, one had to at least announce their own name first.
As you identified the identity of this killer.
On a certain day of a certain month in a certain year, you investigated the behavior of this assassin at a certain place. This would also be recorded in the files and known and queried by others.
After pondering for a moment, Hedy replied, "No."
Lucifer only had three confidentiality opportunities under his name.
It was used once to protect the family in Geary Village, and once to wipe out the Blackboa Gang in Oakland.
If this last chance was used to inquire about the identity of the masked man, it would be a bit of an overkill.
At least they had no ill intentions then.
If Lucifer's identity were to be exposed, it would bring endless disaster to her and her family.
Hearing that Hedy did not have a "membership status", the receptionist showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry I can't assist you."
Hedy left.
She first went to the hospital and, after confirming that Ian and his mother were not in serious condition, she wrote down her phone number and address, and put them along with some cash into Jan's pocket.
In this way, if Ian encountered any issues, he could call the hospital to contact her.
Ilaving done these, Iledy returned to Isabella's independent apartment area.
Andrew was playing video games on the sofa with Yana.
"Sister, how come you're back alone? Weren't you attending a private party with Mr. King?" Javier looked at his sister in surprise.
"I had something come up unexpectedly and had to part ways with him, leaving him to attend the banquet alone."
The rest of the matter, Iledy didn't say.
She didn't want her fourth brother to worry.
Over at Preston's, she also had no intention of speaking.
If that guy knew that she was attacked after he left, he would probably blame himself
to death, and then wish he could supervise her 24 hours a day.
ITedy's casual demeanor made Andrew, who was playing video games, glance at her.
Under the warm orange light, her appearance and temperament had long since differed from her past life.
But no matter how her appearance changed, how time altered, her soul remained the
same.
It was so dazzling.
Andrew suppressed the adoration that was almost bursting from his eyes, turned his gaze back to the video game. However, his operation and reaction were not as sharp as before, even dragging Yana down.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing the "GAME OVER" appear on the screen, Yana sighed and patted her good brother on the shoulder.
There was no woman in his heart, only when he drew his sword could he truly be
himself, young man.
Look at me. I had no man in my heart.
"Sister." Javier handed the washed apple to Yana, his expression shy.
"Oh, thank you." Yana took the apple, took a bite, and a look of appreciation flashed
in her eyes.
I thought to myself: Javier was really well-behaved and adorable.
Much more pleasing to the eye than that group of rough men on the African savannah.
The moon was atop the willow branches, Preston had returned, carrying a faint scent of alcohol on him.
As soon as he opened the door, Hedy alertly opened her eyes.
These two "assassination" experiences successfully heightened her alertness to the fullest, as if she had returned to those days of bloody battles, sleeping on her weapons
and awaiting dawn.
"Did I wake you?" Preston's voice was low, carrying a hint of apology.
"Couldn't sleep." Hedy sat up.
"How was the situation with lan?"
"The surgery was successful, everything was fine."
"That's good." The man sat down by the bed, cradling his beloved woman's face in one
hand, his brows slightly furrowed:
"What's wrong? You seem a bit upset, what happened?"
Hedy shook her head with her eyes closed, then slowly opened them, her eyelids half-
lowered.
"Did seeing lan remind you of Cooper, and of your own past experiences?" Preston pulled Hedy into his arms, patting her back.
"Everything would be fine."
"Hmm." Hedy's lips curled slightly, her mood significantly improved by this comfort.
"Tomorrow, I will take you to William's castle for a banquet. William is a friend of mine with whom I have a good relationship abroad. I'll introduce you to him," Preston said, continuing to hold Hedy.
Hedy asked, "The William family, which has produced two presidents and has a deep relationship with the British Empire?"
"Well, I met him during our school days. He looked down on me, and I looked down
on him. In the end, he married a woman from USA." Preston found it amusing as he
recalled the past.
"A woman from USA?" ITedy raised her eyebrows.
"Um, her name is Rosalie, their daughter is already seven years old." In Mr. Ji's eyes,
the word 'jealousy' was written all over, but it quickly subsided.
"But their relationship was tumultuous, not as good as ours!"
"What kind of twist is that?" Hedy became interested, snuggled into Preston's arms, and found a comfortable position.
Preston: "Seven years ago, Rosalie and William had a falling out. After giving birth to their daughter, she returned to USA and lost contact with William for six years."
"Last year. William came to USA for business, where he unexpectedly met Rosalie. He rekindled their relationship and took her back to France."
"Seven years? That indeed had some twists and turns," Hedy nodded.
"So, I wasn't jealous at all," Preston said.
Iledy nodded, "Imm, your words would have been more credible if you hadn't been
gritting your teeth."
Preston: "......"
He simply knocked Hedy down, squinted his deep, slender eyes, and scratched her
waist twice, his tone feigning ferocity:
'Why don't have a baby yet, don't you understand? And you dare to mock me,
huh?"
Hedy was itching so badly that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He teased her a bit, Preston got out of bed to wash up, then crawled back into the
covers, falling asleep with the detestable queen in his arms.

The following morning.
During breakfast with five people, Iledy told Javier that he didn't need to prepare
dinner for her and Preston that night.
Javier asked for the reason, and ITedy said she was going to attend a banquet at
William Castle.
"What a coincidence, I was also going to accompany the Zhou family elders to this banquet," Andrew squinted his eyes.
