Free Web NovelChapter 579: Chapter 579: I Will Protect Him
At the same time, in the villa, Edie tried all means to contact Aaron’s men. But she didn’t get any useful information.
She kept walking in the living room, anxiously. Finally, a name came into her mind.
Stuart.
As the name rushed into her mind, Edie couldn’t help herself biting her lips.
He was the last one she wanted to ask for help,
It was just a short time since they divorced. If she asked for his help, he might think she was still entangling him.
But she couldn’t think of any other solutions. Except for Stuart, no one could help her find Aaron,
Finally, Edie made the decision. She drove to the headquarters of L.N. and rushed into the top floor.
Every staff at L.N. knew her. They also heard about her scandals. But she was their president’s ex-wife, they didn’t dare to stop her.
When she arrived, the meeting room was closed. They were having a meeting. But she couldn’t wait for even one more second. So she rushed into the room.
All the staff at present looked towards her.
She neglected them and looked towards Stuart, "Stuart, I need to talk to you."
Stuart wore a black suit, serious and elegant. He was sitting at the end of the meeting table.
He said in a cold voice, "None of my business."
Seeing their president’s ex-wife, all the staff fell into silence.
Edie blushed. But she didn’t drawback. She held fist tightly and said loudly, "I really need to tell you something. It is so important. Please give me several minutes. Otherwise, I would ruin your meeting today,
Stuart’s eyes turned cold.
No managers at present wanted to interfere with their president’s personal life. A manager asked Stuart,
"Mr. CEO, we can reform the plan and discuss tomorrow."
After all, Edie was his ex-wife. If the president kept refusing her, it would look bad,
Stuart didn’t say a word. But all managers at present were good at understanding their president’s thoughts. They were walked out of the conference room immediately.
When they left, Edie said, "I couldn’t find Aaron. I’ve contacted all his friends. But none of them saw him. He didn’t answer my calling at the beginning. When he finally answered my call, he didn’t say a word. When I called him again, his phone was turned off. Something bad happened to him. I bet."
She was so worried that she almost cried out.
Looking at her reddened eyes, Stuart was heart-tendered.
He held her hands directly without saying a word and then walked out,
"Where are we going?"
At the moment when she touched his big hands, Edie’s heart beating got faster.
"To find him."
The answer was simple and determined.
They got to the underground parking lot. Ivan was driving for them. Stuart and Edie sat on the backseat. Stuart already loosened her hands,
He took the phone out. After divorcing with Edie, he became a workaholic again. He never looked at his mobile phone at a meeting. Even though he was exhausted, he didn’t want to take a break.
When Edie suffered, Stuart also suffered.
He had to keep working to forget his love for her.
He turned on the mobile phone. There were lots of calls and several texts from William.
William didn’t see Aaron, so he sent someone to find him. He found Aaron’s car was left in an abandoned site. But they didn’t find Aaron.
William never showed up in this plan. He could show up at this point. So he called Stuart.
Stuart replied.
"I would handle it. Don’t worry, contact the hacker we caught last time. Ask her to hack into Hicks’s computer and phone. She would tell us something,
William relied in seconds on,
"Are you suspecting Hicks?"
"Yes."
Edie and Aaron were confronted with such danger. Who would hate them so much that she wanted them to pay? Except for Hicks, Stuart couldn’t think of another one.
Then, Stuart turned off the phone and took a glimpse at Edie. Her face was pale. Tears remained on her eyelashes. She looked at the road blankly as if she already lost her soul.
She was so worried about Aaron....did she fall in love with him?
He sighed in silence. Why did he care about this? It wouldn’t make any difference.
He padded on her back.
"Don’t worry. I would protect Aaron."
"Really? You really could protect him, right?" Edie asked,
"I promise," Stuart said word by word. It was his promise.
When hearing these two words from Stuart, Edie calmed down. Suddenly she felt relieved.
"I...I thought you wouldn’t help me," she said in a trembling voice. She asked so carefully.
Stuart pressed his lips and said, "he’s my brother. He is also my family. I won’t let anyone hurt him,"
"Thank you. You still regard him as your brother."
Edie expressed appreciation sincerely this time, for Aaron.
Stuart looked at the sincerity on her small face. She was thanking him for another man. She looked so serious. His heart was trembling.
Why did she say these words?
He wanted to ask her. But he held all the words back finally.
He didn’t know how to answer her appreciation.
He put his hand on Edie’s back to comfort her gently.
He put the other hand on his waist and held into the fist.
After reading the text, William found the hacker and asked her to hack into Hicks’s computer.
They found the video.
The man was so careful. He cleared all traces. It seemed the video just appeared in Hicks’s e-mail. But the top hacker knew how to get the sender.
After twenty minutes, he found the I.P. address sending the video.
"The address."
William immediately sent it to Stuart.
"Down along Lynn Expressway, there was an abandoned factory. I’ve sent you the address and the overall layout around,"
"Okay."
Stuart answered and squinted.
Ivan drove the car more quickly.
Soon they arrived at the factory. They saw the chair was broken apart. There was blood on the floor.
When seeing the blood, Edie was so frightened and nervous. All she knew was to hold the hand of the man standing beside her.
"Stuart....is...is he still safe?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Her voice was trembling. She sounded so weak that Stuart wanted to hold her into his arms to comfort her.
He frowned and held her hands tightly. He didn’t dare to relax for even a second.
"I would protect him, whatever happens."
