President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 871

He fell silent, and so did Queeny.

After a moment he sneered, “So the story of the farmer and the snake does make sense.”

Felix let out a little sigh.

“Perhaps.”

Queeny asked, “Who are they?”

Felix frowned.

“We’ve already grilled him, but he doesn’t know.”

Queeny frowned.

“He was contacted by email,” Felix explained, “I have sent someone to track down the IP address of the email, but it was not found. It must have been treated specially. He did not know the identity of the other party, only that they gave him a lot of money and promised him a higher position.”

“Maybe men do struggle upwards. It’s not surprising he said yes. How can being a little bodyguard here be any better than being the head of a place and taking over a place?”

Queeny sneered at the words.

“Taking over a place? Really? A man who can turn against his benefactor on the basis of an email from someone else has a bad personality, not to mention a bad brain. How could such a person succeed?”

Felix did not respond.

Suddenly they were silent again.

It was a long time before Queeny said, “So, the trail is dead again?”

Felix nodded.

“Kind of. Ford is a master of torture, and he hasn't been able to pry anything out of him. Obviously, there’s nothing left.”

Queeny was in a bad mood.

The feeling of being so weak and so uncomfortable came back to her again.

How many times was this?

The enemy had reached between them, wounding her and Felix multiple times. But she could not even find a clue about them, and did not even know the identity of the other side.

Queeny had a strange feeling of restlessness in her heart.

Felix’s mood was no better. But he was more optimistic than Queeny.

This had gone round and round for so many years. He knew something was wrong four years ago, so all the patience he needed was honed in those four years.

Therefore, he had no fear that he might fail to discover the identity of the other.

It was just a matter of time.

But he did not say these words to Queeny.

Because he could not tell her that he had known about the existence of such a man behind the scene four years before.

Queeny didn’t ask. After sending him to his room, she told him to go to bed early and left.

The next day.

When Queeny went to find Felix, she overheard Ella talking to a man dressed as a security guard not far away.

Ella was the maid who looked after her in the inner yard. She wouldn’t normally have anything to do with security outside.

Why were they standing next to each other?

Queeny went over curiously.

But she saw her at once, and stopped talking.

She took a step back and said respectfully, “Miss Horton.”

Queeny gave him a look.

As she got closer, she saw that although he was a bodyguard in the castle, he did not look like a man who would fight.

He was elegant and pale as a scholar.

She smiled and asked Ella, “Who is this?”

Ella blushed and said sheepishly, “Queeny, his name is Dean. He’s our bodyguard in the castle. Because of Mr. Bissel’s recent injury, he’s been reassigned to the inner perimeter to protect the main building.”

Queeny nodded with a knowing “oh”.
