Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Elaine froze for a long time before saying anxiously, “Then are my father and great grandfather also in

danger? They…”

Caesar gripped her shoulders and comforted her, “Elaine, don’t worry. At least for now, no one in the

James family dares to harm them because those people haven’t found their Achilles’ heel to deal with

them. And you, are the Achilles’ heel that they can use to threaten them.”

Without waiting for Elaine to respond, Caesar added, “Think about it. If you’re safe and sound, won’t

your father and great grandfather be able to deal with those people in Riverside City without worry?”

Elaine subconsciously nodded.

“On the contrary, if you fall into the hands of those people, your father and great grandfather will be

worried about your safety and be forced to cooperate with those people.”

“Then…what should I do now?”

Caesar responded, “Don’t be afraid, Elaine. I’ll protect you. I’ll take you out of City N tonight.”

Elaine said, “But Stella told us to wait for her to come back. My father also told me to stay in City N and

not to run around.”

Caesar sighed soundlessly, “What they said is right. However, the situation now can shift anytime,

Elaine. Those people already know that you’re in City N and they’ll definitely try their best to find you.

Moreover, have you thought about it, their target is originally you. If you insist on staying in City N, you

might bring danger to Ms. Radomil.”

When Elaine heard this, her pupils slightly dilated as if she felt that what he said made sense.

Caesar stroked her head, “I’ll take you out of City N to a place where no one can find you. When things

are over, I’ll send you back to Riverside City.”

“Won’t this hold you back?”

Caesar smiled, “I’ve been away from Riverside City for ten years. Everyone thinks I’m dead. They had

no idea I’m still alive, so how would they find my whereabouts? Elaine, it’s the safest for you to follow

me now.”

Seeing Elaine was apparently going to change her mind, Caesar added, “How about this. I’ll come to

pick you up at 8 p.m. tonight, but remember not to tell anyone about your intention to leave City N. It

might be spread widely.”

Elaine whispered, “Can’t I even tell Stella?”

Caesar answered, “Ms. Radomil definitely wants to keep you in City N but do you want to put her in

danger?”

Elaine shook her head, “No.”

“Elaine, trust me. I won’t harm you.”

Elaine took a breath, “I’ll go with you.”

Caesar said gratefully, “Then I’ll go to make arrangements first. I’ll come to pick you up at 8 p.m.”

Elaine waved at his back, “See you later.”

After Caesar left, Elaine came out of the pantry.

Sherry saw this and walked over, “What were you two talking about that could take so long?”

Being asked by her, Elaine’s face unnaturally turned red. She stammered, “No…nothing. My uncle just

asked me if anything happened to the James family. He didn’t say any other thing!”

After saying that, she hurriedly walked to the cashier. She took several deep breaths before gradually

calming down.

Sherry tsked inwardly. This young woman was obviously bad at lying. She looked so nervous as if the

words ‘I lied’ were written on her face.

However, Sherry thought that this was others’ family business and it was not her place to pry, much

less to handle it. So, she continued to walk around leisurely.

At 7.30 p.m., Sherry locked the door of the studio and said to Elaine brightly, “What do you want to eat

tonight? My treat!”

Elaine answered softly, “Sherry, you go back first. I want to walk around nearby.”

Sherry was puzzled.

She looked around, “What's there to see nearby? If you want to buy something, I’ll take you to the

mall.”

Elaine stammered, “No, I just…want to walk around…”

Sherry stared at her suspiciously, “Tell me honestly, what exactly did your uncle tell you when he came

today.”

“No, I…”

“I can tell whether you lie or not. Don’t try to fool me. I could tell Stella and let her handle you.”

Elaine hurriedly pulled her, “Don’t, Sherry. I just…just…”

With her head drooped, she muttered, “Something bad happened to the James family and many

people want to take me back to threaten my great grandfather and father. If I stay in City N now, it’ll

only bring trouble to you and danger to Stella.”

Sherry asked, “So what did your uncle tell you?”

“He said he would take me to a very safe place and when things were over, he would send me back to

Riverside City.”

Sherry thought about it, “What your uncle said makes sense too.”

Hearing that she also agreed with this approach, Elaine’s eyes lit up. “It makes sense, right? I feel the

same way, so…”

“My arse, what your uncle said is right but don’t you remember what your father said?”

Elaine was stunned for a few seconds, “He let me stay right in City N…”

“He also said that you shouldn’t trust anyone in the James family. You forgot it?”

When Elaine was on the phone yesterday, Sherry was next to her so she heard them clearly.

Elaine answered, “But my uncle left Riverside City ten years ago. He’s not considered a member of the

James family now and my father doesn’t know he’s still alive. Moreover, when I was a child, he treated

me very well. He wouldn’t lie to me, and surely wouldn’t do such a thing as using me to threaten my

father and my great grandfather like those people.”

Sherry said, “I don’t know your uncle well but I feel that your father had a point in what he said. The

current situation is that unless your father comes to take you to Riverside City, you mustn’t go with

anyone who wants to take you to any place.”

“But don’t want to hold back Stella and you all here.”

Sherry looked at the young woman’s face with bewilderment and cluelessness and said, “How about

this. You call your father now and talk to him about the current situation. If your father agrees that you

should go with your uncle, I won’t stop you. But if he doesn’t agree, you have to go home with me.”

Elaine felt that this was a good solution so she hurriedly took out her phone.

But, no one answered the call.

Elaine looked at Sherry, “He didn't answer…”

Sherry held her hand, “Okay, then you should go home with me now. City N is still safe currently. It isn’t

too late for you to leave with your uncle after your father agrees. It won't be so rushed that you have to

leave tonight, right?”

Elaine felt that sounded reasonable.

Elaine responded, “My uncle said he would come to pick me up at 8 p.m. I’ll wait for him here and tell

him about this.”

Sherry glanced at the time. It was ten to eight.

She said, “Alright, then I’ll accompany you. What do you want to eat later, steamboat, barbecue, or

street food?”

Elaine answered, “Barbecue! I want to eat barbecued meat!”

“Okay, let’s go eat that later.”

“But don’t want to hold back Stella and you all here.”

Sherry looked at the young woman's face with bewilderment and cluelessness and said, “How about

this. You call your father now and talk to him about the current situation. If your father agrees that you

should go with your uncle, | won't stop you. But if he doesn’t agree, you have to go home with me.”

Elaine felt that this was a good solution so she hurriedly took out her phone.

But, no one answered the call.

Elaine looked at Sherry, “He didn't answer...”

Sherry held her hand, “Okay, then you should go home with me now. City N is still safe currently. It isn’t

too late for you to leave with your uncle after your father agrees. It won't be so rushed that you have to

street food?”

Elaine answered, “Barbecue! | want to eat barbecued meat!”

“Okay, let’s go eat that later.”
