My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786 A Dilemma

The rest was hidden in a map. And this map had been Felix's collection, undecipherable.

Queeny happened to learn the ropes and painted it in prison. That was how she got the chance to work with Felix.

They remained silent for some time.

After a while, Felix said, "As soon as the Celestial Book was known by people, the Rosefinch Club and the Dragon Club, two major associations in the area, immediately tried to get it. When they were in a big fight for this, their deepest secrets were revealed."

"I admit I used you. But if I didn't, we would die in the confrontation."

"The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel. Although we won, we were decimated too. Later, the Dragon Club disbanded and lost its former glory. Queeny, have you ever wondered what might have caused this?"

Queeny was shocked.

She looked up at Felix's icy face, and something running through her mind, which made her shudder.

"You mean, someone set a trap?"

"Yes." Felix sneered with self-deprecating humor. "it's false that the Celestial Book can bring the dying back to life. This was all orchestrated by someone who wanted to blow the organizations into a dispute and destroy them. In fact, the book and the map they said are false."

He gazed deep into her eyes and said in a low voice, "Queeny, we were fooled."

Queeny froze.

She recalled in her mind the words of the Rosefinch Club's president, who had been her intimate friend.

He said, "Queeny, I don't want to be immortal. There's no point in me living if everyone is dead. I just want to save Jolene, she's dying. Queeny, you are my friend, and you have to help me!"

Jolene was his only daughter.

Queeny couldn't have stayed away.

For her, all worldly possessions meant nothing.

But not everyone thought so.

The treasure that had stirred up a dispute between several powerful underground groups turned out to be a complete trap.

Felix gazed at her with a serious face. Queeny looked up at his eyes and asked, "When did you know that?"

Felix's fingers moved slightly.

Then he said, "Half a month ago."

"That is, when I was about to get out of jail?"

He nodded.

Queeny gave a slight, sad smile.

"Then why did you agree to my terms? Why did you ask me to help you decode the map? You know it's just a useless piece of paper, a plot. Right?"

The study suddenly fell silent, and nobody spoke.

Felix stood silent like a lonely and stubborn pine tree.

He didn't say anything, but Queeny seemed to sense something. She laughed at her own foolishness and turned away.

The man's eyelids flickered suddenly.

He reached out and took her wrist.

"Where are you going?"

"Leave me alone."

Queeny's voice was light, but not as cold as before.

He paused and relaxed his grip on her wrist at last. Then he began in a low voice, "don't go."

Queeny said nothing but walked out.

The whole castle had a slightly strange atmosphere all night.
