Chapter 1318 Chapter 1318: "I'll see to it," he replied.
His tone carried no trace of emotion, yet when Elton met Andrew's dark, penetrating gaze, an unsettling sensation crept over him. It was as if those eyes could see straight through to his deepest secrets.
Elton hesitated for a couple of seconds before pulling his gaze away, his hands clenched tightly behind his back.

She looked at Andrew, hesitating. Should she tell him the truth about his mother's death? Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Elton drove with a grim expression.
The plan to eliminate Andrew had failed, and Denby had gotten caught up in the mess. Though he had been the blonto those quick to shift the men, Denby had seen the note he wrote. Once he woke up, he would undoubtedly launch an investigation.
Elton tightened his grip on the steering wheel. The attempt on m Andres life would have to be postponed. As for Denby...
