Chapter 1187
“Why?” Coy snorted coldly once more. The first time they analyzed Yasmine’s behavior, they were scared shitless.
Every analysis afterwards, from terror to astonishment, to anger, to doubting everything… only they knew what
they’d been through!
Did you know what it felt like to doubt everything? It was like…even the basic equation 1+1=2 needed to be
pondered over!
They were like scared chickens!
Coy suddenly remembered his boss‘ worsening temper over the years, and his hair that used to be so thick but was
now completely gone. All because of Yasmine’s torment!
Yasmine jumped into the sea right in front of us! The Summers family said she died, the media reported her dead,
everyone said she was dead, and we said she was dead too! But was she really dead?”
Nate and Damon remained silent. Was she really dead?
“Who exactly told us she was dead?”
“She did jump into the sea, but is she really dead? If she was, why couldn’t we find her body? By the time we
realized what was going on, it was way too late! Even if we wanted to find her body, we wouldn’t be able to! Is she
dead or not? Was she the type to commit suicide, like you said? If she’s not dead, where is she now?
“So you see, she’s messing with us again, leaving us guessing whether she’s dead or alive! If she’s dead, good
riddance. But if she’s not? She’s a major threat, as she knows too much from our boss… She’s like a ticking time
bomb, constantly threatening my employer…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“If we don’t kill Chloe, she might come back one day and threaten the boss‘ position. After all these years, whether
she’s alive or not, killing her daughter is one less threat. The reason we hesitated to kill her for so many years is
because we were worried that Yasmine was watching us from the shadows. If her daughter ever got into trouble,
she would definitely show up and spill all the beans. Then what the hell have we been doing all these years? Killing
her is wrong, but not killing her is also dangerous! We’re almost driven mad…”
That’s why they wanted to assassinate Chloe. Damon pondered for a while, then gave a slight smile. No wonder
Chloe was so smart; it seemed her mother was quite clever. Thankfully, she took after her mother more, otherwise
if she was like the Summers family…
He lightly touched his lips, deciding not to think about these impossible scenarios. “So, who’s this employer you’re
talking about?”
Damon’s deep eyes stared straight at Coy’s face, directly into his eyes. Coy felt as if he’d been put under a spell,
unable to move, unable to even look
away.
After a while, he said, “Can you promise me one condition?”
Damon raised an eyebrow, “How much money do you want?”
“You… How do you know I…”
Damon laughed lightly, “You started off killing for money.”
Coy was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile. Talking with this kind of person, he could get shot down at any
moment. “Five million dollars.” “You really know how to ask.”
“If you knew the real identity of the employer, you’d think this price is not excessive.”
Damon chuckled, “Speak.”
“She’s the adopted daughter of Queen Julia from Y Country.”
At this, Nate was completely shocked! The royal family of Y Country?! Queen Julia’s adopted daughter?
She wanted to kill Chloe and her mother?! How did this involve such important figures?
Damon, however, seemed completely unfazed, still calmly seated there as if this answer had been within his
expectations.
“Queen Julia is about to abdicate, she’s the longest reigning queen in history, and the throne of the Y Country royal
family has always been hereditary, regardless of gender. So, this adopted daughter and Queen Julia’s two
daughters all have the possibility to inherit the throne. What do you think she’s worried about?”
Hearing this, Nate began to ponder. This speculation surprised him.
Mr. Harper’s taste was truly astonishing. He was uninterested in women; countless ladies tried to contact him
without success; despite all the temptation, he chose a woman with a reportedly negative reputation among many.
The woman with a bad reputation not only repeatedly made comebacks but now, she was connected to the Y
Country’s royal family.
“Mr. Harper!” Nate couldn’t help but shout.
No matter what Chloe’s identity really was, the most important issue now was her safety. Now that Galen and Coy
had been captured and Queen Julia’s abdication was approaching, Princess Ava would definitely take action!
“How did you guys infiltrate West Valley?” Damon asked nonchalantly.
“We were planted there by someone, we don’t know who, only that this person has a great influence on West
Valley.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamon slowly lifted his eyes, his expression cold, “When did you start attempting to assassinate Chloe again?”
“Five years ago.”
Damon’s voice sunk further, “How many times?”
Coy gave a bitter laugh, “Lost count. Probably around fifty times in the past five years.”
Nate was speechless. Fifty times?
Seeing Chloe safe and sound now, and her clueless demeanor during this assassination attempt, one could tell, that
these fifty attempts not only didn’t harm her at all, and they didn’t even have a chance to get close to her.
How lucky was Chloe?
Nate looked at Coy with a hint of contempt, “You’re an assassin organization chosen by the royal family, yet fifty
attempts in five years and none were successful…”
“Our skills were inferior to the others.”
Nate caught the important point, “Others?”
“Even if Chloe is as sharp as a tack, she’s just one person, one woman! We’re an expert crew of hitmen, how could
we not have offed her in five years if she didn’t have someone even tougher watching her back?”
Hearing this, Nate hesitated for a moment, then seemed to click on something.
Damon slowly got to his feet at this point. Always steady, he seemed scary now. He didn’t say anything, just turned
and headed for the door. Nate immediately followed. He had a gut feeling about Damon’s mood.
He still remembered what Mr. Stanley had casually mentioned when shit had hit the fan in West Valley.
Now, the phrase “the thorny issue is still on the table” had completely confirmed their suspicions.
