The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 Long Time Coming

Sabrina’s mission had crashed and burned, and she’d almost gone down with it; there was no way she wouldn’t start getting suspicious.

And it wouldn’t just be her-Esmond, Regina, and the rest of that crowd behind her would be looking at him even harder now.

“It’s fine. It’s not like they ever truly trusted me anyway,” Elian said lightly, as if it were no big deal.

They’d probably had their doubts about him for a long time, which was why, even after all this time at Regina’s side, he still hadn’t been able to trace things all the way up to the real final boss.

Regina was infuriatingly cautious and tight-lipped; she never shared more than she had to.

Raymond’s death had hit Elian like a freight train.

The man had been like a mentor to him, teaching him countless things in secret and helping him grow.

So, when Raymond died, Elian felt like a soldier who’d just lost his commanding officer-adrift and grieving.

Now that he felt he couldn’t do much more for Amelia, he had simply chosen to lay everything out and be honest with her.

“So, what are you planning to do now?” Amelia thought for a moment, then added, “Nygard Group has branches overseas. I can transfer you out there to help manage one of them.”

Now that his cover was blown, Regina would never let him walk

top of that, he knew far too much about what was going on in her camp; that vicious woman might decide to just kill him to shut him up.

“Alright. Whatever you arrange, I’ll follow,” he said.

The message couldn’t have been clearer-he wanted her to know exactly where he stood, that he was an ally, not an enemy.

As for the specifics of the assignment, he was ready to obey one hundred percent.

“Good. I’ll have eyes on you at all times, discreetly. Once things settle down, you can come home.”

Amelia knew Elian had always been on his own, with no wife or kids; sending him abroad to lay

low wouldn’t be too hard on him.

Who knew-maybe he’d even meet someone out there worth building a life with.

“Don’t worry. I can take care of myself, too,” Elian said.

Amelia believed him without question.

If he didn’t have solid survival skills, he never would’ve lasted as a double agent at Regina’s side for so long and still come out in one piece.

“By the way, do you have any idea where that thing my dad was holding ended up?” she asked.

Walter had been pushing her to track that item down, but no matter how hard she searched, it stayed hidden.

Elian had been one of her father’s closest confidants; if anyone knew something, it should’ve been him.

“No idea,” Elian said with a bitter smile. “If I knew, I would’ve told you a long time ago.”

“Not even the tiniest lead?”

“Nothing. But I’m sure Mr. Nygard must’ve found another way to tell you-maybe you just haven’t noticed it yet.

“Try paying more attention to the little details from when you were with him-things he said, or things he left behind for you. There might be a clue in there somewhere.”

Elian truly knew nothing, but based on everything he knew about Raymond, he was convinced the man had hidden a message for her.

Amelia frowned, her delicate brows knitting tightly together.

Things he’d said in the past … and the things he’d left for me?

She searched her memory for a while, then had to pull herself back out of it.

This was something she’d have to sit down and comb through properly once she got home.

“What about Sabrina-do you think she’s not who she appears to be? Any leads there?” Amelia asked again.

“I’m not sure,” Elian admitted, “but I’ve overheard a few slips when Regina and Esmond talk. I’d bet good money something is seriously off.

“Sabrina is Esmond’s pawn, but as far as I know, she wasn’t like this before.”

Right now, it was still just his own speculation; Regina and Esmond kept their guard up around him, too.

So, he couldn’t say any of it with absolute certainty.

“Maybe start with the Jordans-or that brat Floyd. You might dig up something from them,” Elian suggested.

“Got it,” Amelia said.

Once their secret conversation ended, Elian left first.

Amelia headed toward the car parked not far away, where Jeremy was waiting for her.

“How did it go?”

As soon as she got in, Jeremy asked the question he’d been holding back.

Amelia told him everything-what Elian had revealed, and the reminders he’d given her.

“Never thought he was a double agent all along,” Jeremy murmured.
