Ian looked at her with a faint hint of contentment flashing across his eyes.
"Don’t worry."
The two words sounded like some kind of magic spell, and Elaine’s heart calmed down inexplicably
after hearing them.
The higher-ups in the ministry started a strict investigation of Juan.
All of Juan’s personal assets were frozen overnight.
And because he was restricted from leaving the country, even his original plan to go abroad was foiled.
Soon, Juan was placed under criminal detention for further investigation.
Ian went to the detention center to visit Juan.
After Juan was taken to the visitation room by the police, h e no longer looked as complacent as he
used to but looked a little downcast and unshaven.
Juan picked up the receiver and gnashed his teeth.
"Ian Saldana, society has taught you a lot, huh? How dare you betray me, you two-faced f*cker!?"
He pursed his lips and smirked.
"I’ve always been like this."
Juan sneered and mocked him.
"Sure enough, the son I didn’t raise by my side is cold-blooded and ruthless t o his father.I should have
kept an eye on your mother and forced her to have an abortion back then.Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to
come across you now, you f*cking scourge."
When it came to his mother, Ian’s expression dimmed.
‘Back then, Mother gave birth to me secretly after learning that Father’s eldest son suffers from a
mental illness only because she was trying to use my identity to dethrone Mrs.Saldana from the
Saldanas s o that she could take over the title.
‘As far as I’m concerned, Mother only had me as leverage to obtain wealth and status.All she did after
Father abandoned her was blame me for being so useless"
"It’s a pity my mother didn’t let things slide."
Ian gave a faint smile and said after a long while, "Father, it’s time for you to spend the rest of your life
in peace and prison."
Seeing the hint of shock that flashed across Juan’s eyes, Ian hung up the call, got up, and left.
No matter how Juan yelled at him, Ian pretended not t o hear him and did not look back at all.
His driver came to pick him up when he left the detention center, and he received a call from Elaine as
soon as he got into the car.
Elaine asked him, "Are you done?"
Ian chuckled.
"Yeah, it just ended."
"My dad asked me to...get you to come home for dinner tonight.So, are you free tonight?"
He agreed, "Okay, I’ll go over tonight."
When the call was over, the driver sneered and inquired, "Mr.Ian, was it Mrs.Saldana?"
People who knew him rarely addressed the woman around him as Mrs.Saldana because they knew the
nature of his job.
Even if he was with a woman, she was most probably there because he needed her to complete his
mission.
Moreover, Ian had always been very ruthless toward women, and he was also very cold-blooded.He
used to hang around with the mafia boss in Asperia.
That man had always been a playboy, and the women around him changed once every few days.
He also liked to share his women with his gang members.
If anyone did not want to accept his gift, he would consider it disrespectful.
Once upon a time, the mafia boss had introduced a woman he had just found to Ian.
Nobody knew how many men the woman had slept with—their only clue was that her way of life looked
extremely dissolute.
Ian had no feelings for that rambunctious woman, but he had to fake it.
Later on, that woman fell in love with Ian and was willing to be his spy.She reported everything that the
boss did to him from time to time.
However, when the woman was caught red-handed and was left in a cage to be bitten to death by a
Tibetan Mastiff, he remained unconcerned.
It was not that he was ruthless or cruel.
It was just that the mission was extremely dangerous.
A tad bit of carelessness would surely get him killed, and it might even expose the other spies lurking
around.
After all, it was a mission that took everyone more than half a year of hard work, and no one wanted to
fall short.
Ian responded with a calm hum.
The driver sighed.
"It’s not bad to find a woman you can marry safely.All the brothers we met in the squad either left or
died.It’s time to stop when we find ourselves a suitable woman.
"Besides, to still be alive is a blessing to us."
