Cecilia had received the investigation results Evan sent on her way back to the Shaw residence.
She hadn’t wanted Elaine to worry, so she hadn’t mentioned it.
But now that Elaine asked about it, she had no choice but to tell her.
“Grandma Elaine, you know that someone has been hiding in the dark to harm the Shaw family. They Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
are the ones responsible for this serial rear–end collision crash.”
As for the investigation results, as before, there was nothing.
The mastermind had been extremely cautious, knowing that there would be no return for the pawns he
used this time. Hence, he had sent some peripheral personnel who knew nothing, so they couldn’t find
anything
out.
However, Aiden had already attacked Lusterg in Yowhayton.
Although taking out a branch was nothing much, it could be considered a counterattack against the
mastermind!
Despite getting on in age, Elaine still exuded a domineering aura.
With a grim expression, she said coldly, “If they were truly capable, they would come right for us!
What’s the point of always going after you!?”
She thought, “They almost ruined Cecilia three years ago, and now they’re refusing to let her go again.
Damn it! They deserve to die!”
Cecilia held Elaine’s hand to soothe her anger.
“Grandma Elaine, taking the beating lying down is only temporary. Aiden has already attacked the
branch. Don’t get angry because of those scumbags. It’s not worth it if you harm your body.”
“What’s the use of taking out a branch? We haven’t found any clues about who the mastermind behind
this is for so many years. Those scumbags must think the Shaw family is made of pushovers!”
Looking at Elaine, who was growing more and more agitated, Cecilia stroked her back and explained
patiently.
“Of course there’s a use. Now that we’ve found the branch, it means we’re close to discovering where
their headquarters are.”
This comforted Elaine, and she sighed slowly.

“Ceci, you’ve had a hard life. It was difficult for you when you were young, then when you returned to
the Yancey family, and even now, the Shaw family is dragging you into this mess.”
Cecilia hugged Elaine and whispered softly in her ear.
“Grandma Elaine, I don’t think I’ve had it hard at all. When I was a child, I learned self–defense skills in
the assassin organization and received unprecedented care when I came to the Shaw residence. It
doesn’t matter that the Yancey family treated me badly since I’ve already taken revenge and paid them
back tenfold.”
After saying that, she also sighed like Elaine. “But I do feel like I suffer sometimes.”
Elaine hurriedly asked, “Is it because Christopher sometimes treats you badly?”
“No, it’s because I don’t get to keep you company and take care of you, Grandma Elaine.”
Cecilia’s words dispelled the gloom that covered Elaine’s heart.
She smiled affectionately. “I don’t need you to take care of me. You just need to take good care of
yourself.”
After saying that, she remembered that when she talked to Cecilia on the phone before, the latter said
she was going to see Samuel, a psychologist.
She pushed Cecilia away and asked with concern, “Ceci, is your empathy disorder really cured?”
“Yeah. I’m going to see Dr. Cohen later.”
“I…”
“Grandma Elaine, you don’t have to go with me. Stay home and rest. By the time you get up for lunch,
I’ll be back with the medical certificate.” After saying that, Cecilia helped Elaine get up and said, “I’ll
walk you back to your room.”
Elaine knew that Cecilia always stayed true to her words, plus her body. really couldn’t take any more,
so she didn’t force the issue.
There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, which was soothing to the nerves.
Cecilia took a deep breath and said with a smile, “As expected, you smell the best, Grandma Elaine.”
“I know you like it, so I’ve asked the housekeeper to light a sandalwood

“Hello! Didn’t anyone hear me?”
His louder shouts simply caused Aiden to scoff.
“Mr. Jor, do you finally understand how easy it is for me to replace the mayor of Lusterg now?”
Aiden didn’t like to use his power to oppress others, but it was the best. way to deal with such a brutish
and powerful person.
Eric’s face darkened, and he was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
Aiden held a high status internationally, making him someone an insignificant mayor like him couldn’t
hope to stand up to.
Even so, he didn’t expect Aiden to dare to overthrow him right on his territory.
He thought, ‘Is Commander Shaw not at all afraid my men will fight back?
After all, he came here with only a few hundred people, but I have tens of thousands!‘
“Commander Shaw, aren’t you afraid that you won’t get out of Lusterg alive?”
Eric knew that he should pretend to compromise when being subdued by others, but he just couldn’t
stand it.
Aiden looked at Eric as if he were a fool.
“Do you know why your men won’t listen to you? Because they know what it means to offend me. I can
make the entire city of Lusterg disappear from the earth with one word.”
It was no exaggeration, but he wouldn’t really do it. He just said it to scare
Eric.
Eric hadn’t taken Aiden seriously before because even the leader of Yowhayton couldn’t order a local
tyrant like him around.
However, now he knew what a powerful man he had provoked.
He swallowed and immediately changed his attitude. “Commander Shaw, we’ll do as you say. I will try
my best to cooperate with you.”
“It’s too late.”
After saying that, Aiden shot his guards a meaningful look.
Eric thought that Aiden was going to kill him and wanted to call for help, but before he could even open
his mouth, he suddenly felt a pain in the

back of his neck and fainted.
His subordinates were treated the same way.
Aiden waved his hand and said, “Send them to prison.”
He was not interested in interfering in the internal affairs of Yowhayton. After all, once the new mayor of
Lusterg took office, he would definitely kill the former mayor and all his followers.
After the guards escorted Eric and his men away, Aiden called the deputy mayor and key officials into
the conference room to talk about searching the tourist attractions.
Seeing as even Eric was unable to stop Aiden and got himself imprisoned in the process, it was only
natural these officials dared not disagree.
They agreed with whatever Aiden said and quickly f
