Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Indeed Cold
At the same time, insides the building.
At the door of the flat were parking lots of luxurious cars. When seeing that scene, most people would believe it was a car contest held here.
However, as a matter of fact, it was an engagement party.
Besides, this engagement party was so weird.
Several days ago, Stuart left the L.N group and showed his love for his wife in front of all media. No one expected that he would engage with another woman today. As for Stuart’s relationship with his wife, no one knew about that.
After all, an engagement didn’t mean anything. Stuart’s wife was still Edie.
Besides, seldom people knew Julia. Only several people who have cooperated with the L.N group and knew something about the British political circle heard of her.
Because Julia’s last name was William.
William’s was the top gangster in Europe. Its power covered the whole pacific area. This family did a lot of money laundering. It was said that William kept a treasure chest holding all treasures they got.
Some people said William disappeared all of a sudden because they escaped to a mysterious island and decided to give up all dirty business stuff.
Others said they were destroyed by the Leon’s and the Yates. They had no other choice but to give up everything they had.
Different people had different theories. No one knew what the truth was.
When all guests entered the hall, they saw Aaron, the CEO of the L.N group. All of a sudden, everyone felt flattered.
But they soon realized the reason why Aaron was here. It was his own brother that got engaged today. It was totally reasonable.
Except for lots of illuminations on the door, there was no other decoration on the door. After all, both Stuart and Julia were brought up in the western world. They didn’t care about the atmosphere at their engagement party.
After all, guests sat down, and they started gossiping, wondering what the hell was going on here.
"I heard Mr. Yates’ wife is Edie Lara."
"What? Edie Lara? Stanley’s bastard daughter? But I heard she had already died five years ago."
"You don’t read the news, do you? Stuart has clarified on the news conference that his wife never died. She just disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of the public for some reason. Besides, Aaron disappeared at the same time with her. Both of them faked death. No one knew why they did this. I think perhaps Edie cheated on Stuart with Aaron. So Stuart decides to divorce her and get engaged with another woman."
"Was Stanley here? If he is here, we can ask him to tell us something."
"Shut up. You are so stupid. This party is so weird. Don’t you see it? I think maybe someone would die here today. Both Julia and Stuart were big figures. In front of them, we are nobody. It’s better for us to shut up."
As all were busy gossiping, several foreigner guys suddenly appeared at the door.
Norman stood at the door, sweeping his eyes towards all the people inside. All of a sudden, the hall fell into silence. Everyone at present shut up immediately when seeing him.
Norman was as tall as Stuart. Besides, his strong body and dark face made him look more threatening when he stood there.
Everyone at present didn’t dare to make a sound at the moment.
Aaron was not surprised at all when seeing Norman. He knew Julia also invited Leon’s when she prepared the invitation cards of the engagement party. In the beginning, Julia invited Arther. But Arther was the heir of the Leon’s. Norman didn’t want him to take high risk. It was too dangerous for Arther to attend the party today.
Therefore, Norman came here for Arther.
He also wanted to catch Julia. It was the right time to get her into prison.
Norman stood there and looked away. He gave the invitation card to Aaron and said, "What is going on now?"
Aaron took the card and raised a smile at the corner of the mouth. Then he said in an indifferent voice, "Not good. Julia had her men buried bomb outside the flat. As long as the bomb was detonated, everyone here would be killed."
He lowered his voice while talking to Aaron to avoid mass panic.
"Sorry. No guard is allowed in."
Norman nodded and waved hands towards those men behind him.
Then he opened his arms to be inspected. His gun was submitted to Aaron.
When seeing the gun, everyone at present was frightened.
Aaron took the box magazine out and gave it to the waiter. Then he apologized to Norman, "Sorry. This is Julia’s rule. I have no choice." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"That’s all right. Remember to act on seeing an opportunity." Norman said in a calm voice. Then he walked into the hall.
Norman’s seat was in the front. On his sides were Aaron’s seat and Marina’s seat. But neither of them arrived on the spot.
Norman kept a weird smile at the corner of his mouth. He was thinking about Julia’s plan. He was really surprised by her gut.
She really came up with such a plan. Both she and he would be injured.
He really pushed her so hard. Indeed, except for this, Julia had no other choice now. Stuart was confronted with this mostly because of Norman. If Norman didn’t keep pursuing William relentlessly these years and caught all William’s into the prison, Julia would not take such crazy actions.
She dared to arrange this engagement party alone. If she really denoted the bomb, everyone attending the party today would die immediately.
Meanwhile, the reputation of L.N would be ruined. It was really bad for the development of the group in the future.
Besides, if something bad happened to him or Arther, the Leon’s would also be weakened to a large extent.
The Leon’s might even be controlled by the government totally at the end.
Norman had to acknowledge that Julia’s plan was so smart. She kidnapped Edie and used her to threaten Stuart. She thought she could finally control Stuart. But she was wrong. She was so wrong. Stuart would fight back and kill her.
No one dared to do this to Stuart.
She would be killed. Norman was sure of this.
Norman really looked forward to watching this party. This was such a large hunting ground for him. Everyone was here to chase after what they wanted. Perhaps Norman could even take a fight with Stuart here.
When thinking about this, Norman’s smile at the corner of his mouth got colder and scarier.

At the same time, inside the bedroom upstairs, Stuart was sitting on the sofa, looking at the pictures of him and Edie inside his wallet.
Edie, five years old, looked so innocent and young, like a white rose in bud, pure and beautiful.
Now...
She might already leave A.
He moved his fingers on the pictures, on Edie’s face. And then he stopped.
His fingers were warm. But the picture was indeed cold.
At the moment, he really missed her.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
But Stuart didn’t move at all, as if he heard nothing.
