CHAPTER 1296
At the dining table.
Andrew pushed the dishes towards Angela and said, "Aunt Angela, Auntie Cherry had specially made some local delicacies for you. You should try them out."
Angela did not look at Andrew, nor did she look at the dishes on the table. Her eyes were fixed on Silvia, who had pissed her off...
Silvia was extremely bothered by Angela's intense staring, so she really wanted to ask Angela to stop staring at her. However, she knew if she was to sound Angela out, Angela would definitely deny that she was staring at her.
Therefore, Silvia had decided to fight fire with fire and stared right back at Angela. Both of them stared into each other's eyes, and neither of them were willing to give in.
"Young lady, why are you looking at me like this?" The two of them were staring at each other for so long that their eyes were going to pop out, so Angela took the first move to question Silvia.
"Because you were looking at me first, so I decided to look at you."
"Since when was I looking at you?"
"If you didn't look at me, how would you know that I was looking at you?"
“Listen here young lady, I...“ At that very moment, Angela really could not think of a way to deal with this young lady who had the gift of the gab.
"You what?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up."
"You're an elder, how could you say such a thing to someone junior to you?"
"So you know that I'm your elder, huh? So why are you disrespecting me like this?"
"I've always respected my elders, but just look at you. Do you think that you're behaving like an elder?"
"I'm not behaving like an elder?" Angela shifted her gaze and looked at Andrew. "Andrew, your wife said that I'm not acting like an elder. Don't you think that you should say something about it?"
"But Aunt Angela, you really don't act like one." This was what everyone at the dining table was thinking. However, all of them knew that they could not say it out loud. If they did, none of them would not be able to get any sleep that night.
Andrew was already stressed out having to deal with Silvia alone. Now that Angela, the troublemaker, was here, he really wanted to kick either one of them out of the house. However, one was his aunt and the other was his wife. He could kick neither of them out.
Since he couldn't do anything to them, he could only play the good guy and speak nicely, "Aunt Angela, Silvia is still young so she's not very good with words. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Upon hearing Andrew's words, Silvia was displeased. "Andrew, she came to the university to look for me today and even said some strange things to me. Not only that, l greeted her when I got home just now, but she ignored me. She was the one behaving like a child, how could you say that I'm the one bad with words?"
Andrew could not refute.
Angela said, "Just eat your dinner and don't bother us. We'll deal with our own matters ourselves."
It was Angela who had turned to Andrew for help, but she was also the one who told him to stay out of it now. In fact, Angela had noticed that Silvia had started to raise her voice at Andrew. She was worried that it would affect their relationship, so she thought it would be better if Andrew were to stay out of it.
Angela wanted Andrew to let them alone but he couldn't actually do that, could he? Andrew looked at Silvia and said, "Silvia, Auntie Cherry had prepared your favorite roasted chicken drumstick for you. You should have some."
"I'm not hungry." Her favorite chicken drumstick was right in front of her, and yet Silvia said that she was not hungry. At that point in time, Andrew knew that Silvia was determined to go against Angela.
Neither of them was willing to give in, so Andrew had to think of another way to resolve the deadlock between these women.
To tell the truth, Andrew's greatest strength was to close business deals and not attend to family affairs. Hence, he was absolutely clueless when it came to handling the drama between the women in the family.
Andrew had no choice but to look at Julien and Levi for help. When Levi saw that Andrew was looking at him, he immediately squeezed to Angela's side. "My beautiful and gentle mother, your precious son is famished. Could we please have our dinner first?"
Angela: "Stinky brat, I'm not in a good mood, You'd better stay away from me."
"Mom... “
“I told you to go away, did you not hear that?" Angela said grumpily.
"Oh, okay... You two can keep fighting then."
Since Levi was defeated, Andrew immediately gave Julien a knowing look. Having received Andrew's orders, Julien did not attempt to take any actions right away. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and hit the speed-dial button.
It was not just a joke this time. He was really calling his father, Edwin Carter.
All three of them knew Angela too well. Angela was not afraid of anything in this world, and even Victor could not do anything to her. However, Edwin was the only person that she was afraid of...
"Julien?" The moment the call had gotten through, Edwin's voice sounded from the phone. After confirming that it was his father, Julien immediately turned on the loudspeaker. "Dad, Aunt Angela has something to tell you."
Edwin's voice was loud and clear, and everyone who was present could hear him. "What's the matter?"
As soon as Angela heard Edwin's voice, she was completely terrified. She did not want to take over the call, but Julien had already shoved the phone into her hand. Therefore, she had no choice but to answer, "Edwin..."
Edwin asked, "When did you go over to Madison City?"
Angela answered obediently, "I just arrived today."
Edwin added, "Make sure you don't cause any trouble for Andrew, okay?"
Angela nodded her head vigorously, "Edwin, I came here to visit, why would I cause trouble for Andrew?"
Julien said, "Aunt Angela, Sister Silvia is Andrew's wife, and she's someone Andrew likes, so we should like her too. You reaIly should not find fault with her anymore. Else, you're really going to cause trouble for Andrew."
Angela could not say a word.
She really wanted to shut Julien's tiny mouth. This boy was usually quiet, so why was he being so nosy this time?
Edwin: “Angela, I want you to buy a flight ticket back to Jiangbei now. If I don't see you here tomorrow morning, then you should know what's going to come for you."
Angela: “Edwin... I..." A disconnect tone sounded.
Edwin, who was on the other side of the phone, had already hung up, leaving Angela with no room for negotiation.
Angela looked at everyone at the dining table with pure dejection in her eyes and said, “You guys are doing this to drive me away, aren't you?“
"No Mom, I'm always on your side." Levi knew that if he did not comfort his mother at this moment, he would have to suffer in the future. After all, he had to go home and continue to live under Angela's protection.
“Let's have our dinner first, Aunt Angela. We can talk about it once we're done with our meal." Andrew understood the situation better than anyone else. Angela was not trying to find fault with Silvia. She was just someone who liked to stir up trouble. She would feel that something was not right if she did not cause any trouble for a day.
"I came all the way to Madison City to see if you're doing well. I want to see if my niece-in-law is beautiful and if she's nice to you, but you're here trying to drive me away. I..."
Before Angela could finish her words, two streams of tears were already flowing down from the corner of her eyes. She was crying so pitifully, as if the entire world had wronged her.
CHAPTER 1297
To make it look real, Angela had used up all the acting skills that she had acquired over the years. She did not believe that she would not be able to fool a young lady like Silvia.
"You're an adult, but why do you only cry when you face problems?" This was the first time Silvia had ever seen an adult crying so uncontrollably because of an argument. She was completely at a loss when she saw how Angela was behaving.
"Levi, Julien, go pack your stuff. We'll go to the airport right now." Angela was wiping off her tears with her hands, but not only did her tears didn't stop flowing, but they were also streaming down her cheeks even more madly than before.
“This..." Silvia looked at Andrew with an anxious look and said, "Young Master Carter, Aunt Angela has just arrived in Madison City, and she hasn‘t even had a proper meal yet. It would be too tiring for her to rush home at this time. Is there anything you can do about it?"
"There's no need for you to sympathize with us. This is not the first time that I've experienced the ruthlessness of the Carters."
Angela only dared to say these words in front of his son and nephews. She knew that if she were to say it in front of Edwin, she would definitely be punished.
"I'm not sympathizing with you... I just don't want Levi and Julien to leave so soon." Even though Angela was somewhat assertive and anyone could tell that she was here to find faults, Silvia could not really bring herself to hate her. Deep down in her heart, she even thought that Angela was kind of adorable.
Yes, she was adorable... Most of the time, Silvia would find traces of Angela on Levi. They were both playful and mischievous, so Silvia really could not bring herself to hate her.
Moreover, Angela was the very first elder of the Carter family that Silvia had ever met. If Angela really were to rush back to Jiangbei because of her, how would the other elders think of her? They would probably think that Silvia was a disrespectful and unfilial daughter-in-law.
She did not want to leave such a bad impression on the Carters...
But what's done is done. The moment Angela goaded her, Silvia could not control her temper and started talking back to Angela. At that split second, she had spoken her mind and said all the things that she shouldn't have said. After cooling down, Silvia really regretted what she had said to Angela.
Silvia finally understood that impulsion was really the devil. It could make you do and say things that you did not really intend to.
"That's right, I'm the only one who's not welcomed here." Before she could finish her words, Angela started shedding tears again. She was crying so hard as if the entire universe was going against her.
"Don't, don't be like this. Crying won't solve anything," Silvia hurriedly asked Andrew for help. "Andrew, don't just keep quiet. Think of a solution, please?"
"Since Dad had given his orders, Aunt Angela will have to go home no matter what." Angela was a troublemaker, and Silvia was not someone who was easy to deal with either. With the two of them together, there would never be peace in the house. Hence, Angela returning to Jiangbei was the best solution, so why would Andrew want to help them think of a way to make Angela stay in Madison City?
Angela could just go back to Jiangbei and mess around with Victor. Regardless of what she did, Victor would never complain about her.
"Huh... Let me tell you young lady, all the Carters are cold-blooded. So you don't have to intercede for me anymore. It's useless.“ In a split second, Angela was now standing on Silvia's side.
“Don't worry, Aunt Angela. I believe we can still find a way out regardless of how difficult the matter is. We just have to do our best." At this point in time, Silvia was already starting to address Angela as her aunt.
"Young lady, you say so because you don't know our family that well. Their father, who is also my brother, is a devil. He had been bullying me since I was young. Now that I'm married and even had a child, he would still bully me. Anyway, I'm just a pitiful person who nobody loves and cares about." As Angela spoke, she began to wipe her tears again.
After hearing Angela's complaints, Silvia said indignantly, "Aunt Angela, if you don't want to go home, then don't. I don't believe that he can actually do anything to you."
Angela continued with her emotional act and said, "Silvia, you don't know how scary he could be... Anyway... Boohoo..."
Silvia comforted her. "Don't be afraid, Aunt Angela. I'll be by your side no matter what."
Angela said gratefully, “Thanks, Silvia. I really didn't expect that you would be the one to help me at such a crucial moment.“
Silvia said, "You are my auntie, aren't you? If I don't help you, who will?“
"Huh, I'm his mother." Angela pointed at Levi and then pointed at Andrew and Julien. "And I'm their aunt, but just look at them. Did they ever care about me?"
Silvia said, "Their conscience must have been eaten by dogs. Let's not talk to them anymore."
"Okay," Angela replied.
Silvia pushed all the dishes on the dining table to Angela and said, “Aunt Angela, these are all the famous delicacies here in Madison City. They'll only taste good when they're still warm. You should hurry and try them out."
Looking at Silvia's favorite pork knuckle, Angela said, "I heard that you like pork knuckles, you should have them instead. We women must know how to pamper ourselves."
Silvia happily took over the pork knuckle that Angela had handed to her and said, "Let me tell you something, Aunt Angela. Pork knuckles are packed with collagen so it really improves skin elasticity. You should have them more often too."
An enlightened look appeared on Angela's face. "Oh... No wonder your face is so soft and supple. It's because of this, right?"
"Aunt Angela, is it really that soft and supple?" Silvia asked while stroking her face narcissistically.
Angela answered, "Of course it is, why would I want to lie to you?“
Silvia was overjoyed because of the compliment. “Aunt Angela, do you have any places in Madison City that you want to visit? I'm very familiar with the city, I can be your tour guide for free.”
Angela: "Of course I do. I've heard of the famous Bar Street by Madison River. It's a tourist hotspot. Why don't we go for a drink tomorrow night?"
The more Silvia spoke, the more excited she was. "Aunt Angela, I have a friend who owns a bar there. It's where all the locals go. I'll bring you there tomorrow and we can get drunk together."
Angela asked, "Should we bring them along with us then?"
Angela was referring to the three guys who were sitting at the dining table with them.
Silvia asked, "Them? Why should we bring them along?“
Angela laughed and said, "Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too."
Earlier that night, it was Angela and Silvia who had started quarrelling and going against each other. And they even looked like they would never give in.
The three men had even imagined different scenarios of the two ladies fighting each other. They did not expect that these two ladies would actually gang up against them!
Women were unpredictable. Men should never try to guess what they were thinking. However, the three of them did not expect that Angela and Silvia would be this fickle.
These two ladies were so volatile in their behaviour that the three men were completely mind blown.
CHAPTER 1298
Up till this point, Angela was still continuing with her act. As she had said previously, a professional actor would never stop acting until the director said 'cut'!
Angela sighed once again, "But you know what Silvia? Because of some other reasons, I really can't stay here. I have to rush back to Jiangbei tonight."
Looking at Angela's dejected look, Silvia was sad and remorseful for what she had done. "Aunt Angela, is your brother really that unreasonable?"
Angela said bitterly, "He's not only unreasonable, he's a devil! You can never imagine how terrible of a person he could be. It's above and beyond your imagination."
"Really? He‘s really that scary?" Silvia once again recalled the rumors about Mr. Carter that had been going around Madison City. It was said that he was a moody man and he would always take advantage of his own powers to step all over the others.
"He's way more terrifying than you could ever imagine..." So, her cold brother would always bully her huh? Then she would speak ill of him to Silvia and leave a bad impression of him on Silvia. She wanted him to know that she, Angela Carter, was definitely not someone he should trifle with.
"That's really terrifying." Thinking of those rumors, Silvia was so nervous that she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She secretly looked at Andrew and asked, "Is he even more terrifying than Andrew?"
Andrew: "Aunt Angela..."
Angela interrupted him, "Andrew, don't interrupt us when we are talking."
Silvia said, "Aunt Angela, can we give him a call and talk this all out?"
Angela shook her head, looking extremely distressed. “It's useless. No one can ever change his mind except for my sister-in-law. I‘ll definitely be punished if I don't go home tonight."
"Aunt Angela, you're an adult now, not a child. How can he just punish you as he pleases?" Thinking of this, Silvia was reminded of Andrew, that b‘stard. "Andrew, we‘re human beings, not objects. What right do you have to punish us as you please?"
Andrew kept quiet. Why was he getting dragged into this matter?
There were already two unreasonable women in the family, and now Silvia had joined them. It seemed like the men in the Carter family would lose their place in the family very soon.
Angela wiped her tears and pretended to be a good person. "Silvia, don't blame Andrew for it. He has nothing to do with this matter. If you want to blame someone, then you can just blame me for causing trouble."
Silvia said, "Aunt Angela, I knew that you were just joking with me, so I didn't take it to heart at all. This is what happened between us and I don't even blame you for it. I'm sure that they won't blame you too."
Angela asked, "You really don't blame me for it?"
Silvia said, "Of course. In fact, I was worrying that you will blame me instead. You are my elder, but I was being so disrespectful towards you. I am the one at fault, I should be punished. Aunt Angela, I'm really sorry for putting you in so much trouble!“
Angela was finally happy. "It's okay, Silvia. I accept your apology."
Angela's act was very well executed. If it weren't for the fact that they all knew her too well, Andrew and the rest would have probably been fooled.
Of course, this was on the premise that they did not know her well. However, the three gentlemen had known Angela for too long, so no one believed her tears nor did any of them paid attention to her. Silvia was the only one being fooled, and even teamed up with her.
Seeing that Angela was looking happier, Levi tugged the edge of her top and said, "Mum, your acting is a little too over. You should really know where to stop."
"Stinky brat, don't interrupt me when I'm talking to Silvia." Angela brushed Levi's hand away and warned him not to ruin her plan.
Julien interrupted, "Aunt Angela, Dad has already hung up the phone. Even if you were to cry your eyes out, you'll still have to hurry back to Jiangbei tonight. If he doesn't see you at home tomorrow, you know what will happen to you."
Angela reached out her hand and twisted Julien's ear as she said, "Julien, all of you Carters are really detestable. How could you all bully me like this? Where is your conscience?"
"Mom, don't forget that you're one of us too," Levi reminded her.
With her other hand, Angela grabbed Levi's ear and said, "You little brat, do you feel that something is not right after not getting spanked for a few days huh? I've never seen a son who would ruin his mother's plans like you."
Levi retorted, "I‘ve never seen a mother like you too."
“You brat, how dare you talk back to me? Are you trying to piss me off?"
"Mom, I'm just telling the truth."
"You're really driving me crazy! My son who I've put in so much effort in raising him only knew how to go against me. I think I should just send him away to another family."
Levi said pitifully, "Mom, if you can actually bring yourself to do that, then do it. I'm just a poor thing who no one loves and cares about anyway."
Angela refuted, “Who said that no one loves and cares about you? You're my beloved son, and my precious darling. No one can bully you except for me."
"Mom, you are also my beloved mother. I love you forever, Mom."
"I know, my good son."
"Aunt Angela, I just thought of a solution." Silvia looked at Julien. "Julien, since you were the one who made the call earlier, then why don't you give your mother a call and ask her to convince your father to take his words back.
After everything that had happened, Silvia finally got a clear view of the whole situation.
Angela was a troublemaker. She would bully everyone else but Andrew's father. He was her Kryptonite. When she heard of Mr. Carter's voice, she would become so well behaved that she would even sit up straight.
Silvia also understood that the most authoritative person in the Carter family was not Mr. Carter, but his wife, Mrs. Carter.
Angela told her that no one could ever change Mr. Carter's mind except for his wife. Hence, Mrs. Carter would be the one who had the most power in the family.
No matter how powerful this man was, he would still listen to his wife. But Silvia had never thought that the legendary Mr. Carter would be a henpecked husband. If his son, Andrew, could also learn that from his father, just how wonderful would that be, right?
However, it was obviously an unrealistic thought. Andrew, that b‘stard was such an arrogant person. He would only comply with all her wishes when pigs fly.
Thinking of this, Silvia glared fiercely at Andrew and thought, “Huh, couldn‘t he just learn from his father?"
CHAPTER 1299
Julien tried to call Jane Ronan on the phone but couldn't get through. Hence, there was no one who could change Edwin's mind. No matter how reluctant Angela was, she must return to Jiangbei that very night. Not only did she leave, she even brought Levi and Julien along with her.
Watching their receding figure, Silvia suddenly felt empty. “Andrew, will I still have the chance to see them in the future?"
"Why?" Andrew grabbed Silvia's hand and held her tightly in his palm. "They just went through the security checkpoint and you're already missing them?"
"I knew that they would go home eventually, but I've never thought that it would be this soon. It's so abrupt that I wasn't mentally prepared at all. The moment I think how difficult it would be for me to meet them really makes me sad." Although they had not known each other for a long time, Silvia really treated the boys as her own brothers. She was reluctant to let them go, but there was nothing she could do to make them stay.
Andrew held Silvia‘s hand and walked out of the departure hall. ”It'll be the holidays in two months and we can go to Jiangbei to visit them. You'll be able to see them again by then."
Silvia looked at him. "Andrew, why do I get the feeling that you don't really want the boys to stay?"
"Yeah, I don't really want them to stay." Andrew did not want to let them stay not only because they were third-wheeling him and Silvia, but he was also worried about their safety.
A couple days had passed since the boys were attacked, but Simon Banks still could find out who the mastermind was. This proved that the mastermind was not someone who they should underestimate.
Since Andrew could not ensure their safety, he would never use Julien and Levi as a bait to ferret out the mastermind. Hence, it would be the best to send them back to Jiangbei.
Silvia glared at him again. "You're a man, but why are you being so petty? They are both your brothers. Can't you even tolerate them?"
"Even if they are my brothers, they shouldn't take up all my wife's time." Andrew overbearingly clutched his arm around Silvia's shoulders and said, “Let's go home."
Silvia was speechless. Forget it, there was no use to argue with this man. This was not the first time Silvia had learned that Andrew was not only a domineering and tyrannical guy, he was extremely petty too!
........................
After hanging up the phone, Dr. Thames trotted to Felix and said, "Felix, I've just gotten the news that a woman had brought those two brats away."
Felix, who was tidying up a pile of disorganized information, said without even lifting up his head, "Weren‘t you worried that those boys would ruin our plans? Now that someone has taken them away, shouldn't you feel relieved?"
“No, that's not what it is." Dr. Thames shook her head and said, "What I was trying to tell you about was not the boys, but the woman who took them away."
"The woman who took them away?" Felix finally raised his head from the pile of documents. "Who is she to make you so anxious?"
"I'm not completely sure of her identity as of now, but..." As she spoke, Dr. Thames suddenly thought of something else. She looked at Felix and continued, "Felix, before I tell you about this woman, I need to confirm something else."
Felix asked, "What is it?"
Dr. Thames said, "No matter how strong your opponent is, would you never back down and give your all to get your beloved woman back from Andrew?"
Felix gave a short, mirthless laugh, "Is this still not an established fact to you? The reason for my return and the things that I've done was all to take Silvia back. Do you think that I'm just fooling around?"
"Okay then." All this while, Dr. Thames knew how determined Felix was to get Silvia back to his side. The reason she had asked him again was just to agitate him. "Back to that woman. She's not just any other person, and our opponent this time is much more terrifying than you think!"
"They're much more terrifying than I thought?" Felix curled his lips. "What could a man, who once had his limbs broken and even barely escaped the jaws of death, have anything to fear of?"
Dr. Thames explained, "I don't mean that you'll be terrified of them. I'm saying that the other party is much more powerful than what we've always expected. Our chances of winning the game this time are quite slim."
"Dr. Thames, the game has just begun. It's fine that you don't want to give verbal support to your teammates, but how can you undermine yourself like this?“ Felix stood up, lifted his shirt, and showed the wounds on his abdomen. "Do you see this? A man who had closely escaped death has nothing to fear, and nothing he can't overcome."
”I'm not looking down on you. I'm just reminding you that the path ahead will be much tougher." The scars on Felix's abdomen made Dr. Thames feel sick. She looked away and continued, "The woman who took two boys away was an ex-movie star. Her name is Angela Carter, also known as Polaris."
"So what?" Felix said indifferently.
"When she was still an actress, there had been rumors saying that she had a powerful backer, so no one ever dared to mess with her. But, no one really knew who the person behind her was. And it wasn't until a few years ago that she had withdrawn from the movie industry during the peak of her career and married Victor James, the top dog at the military of Jiangbei. That was when her backer's identity was exposed to the public." Dr. Thames handed two photos to Felix. "You should take a good look at them."
Felix looked at the photos and studied it carefully. "Well, she's quite good looking. She doesn't look like she has undergone any plastic surgery... Unlike celebrities nowadays, who all have the same face and are hard to differentiate."
Dr. Thames was angry and asked, "I didn't give you her pictures to let you evaluate her looks, okay?"
"What do you want me to look at then?" Felix still did not understand what Dr. Thames was trying to tell him.
"Have you ever heard of Shengtian Corporation?" Since he was still confused, Dr. Thames had no choice but to be direct with him.
"Shengtian Corporation?" Felix's face froze slightly the moment he heard of the name.
Looking at Felix's stiffened face, Dr. Thames sneered, "That's right, it is what you're thinking right now. It's that global conglomerate owned by Edwin Carter, the richest man in the world. So, do you get why I was so anxious now?"
"Shengtian? Edwin Carter?" Felix was an intelligent person. The moment he heard of this news, he could already guess what Dr. Thames wanted to tell him. "Do you mean that this woman has something to do with Shengtian?"
Seeing that Felix was finally paying attention to this matter, Dr. Thames continued to say, “Angela Carter is Edwin Carter's sister. She's also the wife of Victor James, the captain of the military in Jiangbei."
CHAPTER 1300
The woman who took the boys away was Amgela Carter. Her brother was Edwin Carter, who owned Shengtian Corporation Inc, and her husband was Victor James, the captain of the military of Jiangbei...
Felix finally realized what Dr. Thames was implying, so he said, "This woman is related to Shengtian and the military in Jiangbei, and Andrew Carter is related to her too... Meaning, Andrew is related to Shengtian?"
"He‘s not just related to Shengtian... Andrew is the young master of Shengtian." Dr. Thames clenched her fists and her eyes were shining with excitement. "I've been working for him for several years and I‘ve always wanted to find out his background, but I just couldn't get any clues about it. But who knew, I ended up finding out about it just like that."
"I knew that he had an extraordinary background all this while, but I never thought that he would be the young master of Shengtian Corporation." Dr. Thames said excitedly, "The fortune the Carters made through Shengtian is enough for them to splurge for a few generations, but Andrew actually went to set up his own business. It seems like money could no longer satisfy the rich, they wanted to prove their abilities to the world too."
Felix said, "He is the young master of Shengtian, and he wanted to prove his ability... But why are you so excited about it?"
“I'm excited not because he is the young master of Shengtian but because I have an eye for people." Thinking of Andrew's outstanding talents, Dr. Thames was infatuated. "Without spending a penny from his family, Andrew took only three years to become the richest person in Madison City. He really proved with his own capabilities that rich kids are not useless... so can't I even get excited because I met such an excellent man?"
Looking at Dr. Thames' smug look, Felix felt annoyed and decided to pop her bubble. "Don't forget that he's not your man yet! Although you've been by his side for so many years, he hasn't looked at you in the eye even once."
"Indeed, he was blinded and did not notice me in the past... In the future, he will only see me and no one else.“ All this while, Dr. Thames had always believed that Andrew would eventually be hers.
The longer Felix worked alongside Dr. Thames, the more he knew about her. She was quite intelligent, arrogant, and occasionally quite conceited.
Felix was not interested in discussing what Andrew would feel for Dr. Thames in the future. All he cared about was when he could get Silvia back from Andrew's hands. “Didn't you say that you couldn't find out about his background before this, so what did you do differently this time?"
"When I first met him, I was already curious about his background, so I've been looking into it in secret. However, he only works and never kept in contact with his family, so it was very difficult to find out anything about him. This time, because of the two boys and Angela Carter, I've finally found out his true identity." Because of her excitement, Dr. Thames had a loose tongue. As long as Felix asked, she would answer his questions without a slightest qualm.
Felix asked, "Are you sure he's really the young master of the Carter family?"
Dr. Thames said, “I'm almost sure that he is. My men called me on the phone a while ago and told me that Angela boarded the flight to Jiangbei with the two boys."
Felix said, "There are so many people flying to Jiangbei every day. It's not surprising for them to fly there, right? Just based on this alone, there's simply no way to prove that Andrew is the young master of Shengtian."
Dr. Thames pointed at the two photos in Felix's hand and said, "That is why I'm showing you these photos. One of them was taken when Angela was still an actress, and the other was taken at the airport a while ago."
Felix once again picked up the photo and looked at it. "They are indeed the same person."
Dr. Thames continued, "I will contact my men to confirm their identities and I will give you an answer very soon... But for now, I think that we should start revising our plan."
"Yeah, we should." It was already tough enough to deal with Andrew alone. Now with Shengtian in the picture... At that split second, Felix felt that there seemed no hope left at all.
However, he would not give up easily. He would continue to work hard and fight for everything that belonged to him.
Thinking back to the time when he was teetering between life and death, if he hadn't persisted for a little longer, he would have already lost his life... It was precisely because of his persistence and hard work that he was still able to live well in this world...
...............
"No, don‘t come over, don't... Don't touch him, don't..."
Silvia was having another nightmare. In her dream, she was with Felix and he was lying in a pool of blood after getting stabbed. However, the murderers still refused to let him go. They were getting closer to them with knives in their hands. "Whoever kills him will be rewarded handsomely."
"Felix, the bad guys are here again. Wake up, wake up ..." Silvia attempted to wake Felix up but he was too weak to move.
Silvia tried to sit him up, but his body was as heavy as lead. She had already mustered up all her strength but she still could not move him. Hence, she could watch as the bad guys approached them.
"Stop! Don't hurt him..." Silvia shouted repeatedly. She wanted to stop those killers from getting closer to them but none of them listened to her. The killers came to their side and started stabbing Felix over and over again.
"Felix..." Silvia cried out Felix's name. She woke up from the nightmare and her body was covered in cold sweat. "No, don't, don't hurt him... I beg you, please don't hurt him."
Even after waking up, Silvia still could not tell whether she was in her dream or in reality. She kept muttering to herself, asking the murderer not to hurt Felix... When she saw that Felix was injured, she really hoped that she was the one receiving the stabs. She was even willing to die for him!
It was after a long time had passed that Silvia had finally woken up from her dream. After realizing that it was just a dream, Silvia immediately sighed a breath of relief. "Don't worry, Felix. I will definitely find out who was the one who murdered you.“
She thought that Felix would appear in her dreams because she was desperate to find the murderer. However, the clues she had at hand were very limited. Now that such a long time had passed, it would not be easy to find the murderer. All the evidence was probably destroyed. Silvia could only try her best to look into it, hoping that she would eventually find out the truth.
"I'm sorry, Felix! I'm sorry!" It was because Felix was killed that he had disappeared from her life, but she had always thought that Felix had abandoned her.
How could she ever think that Felix was such a person?
