Chapter 255
“I guess, no! Why p>
“How about you p>
“Of course, I know… Petrovich, right p>
“Mmm. You are right, sis.” Stefan smiles. “Maybe you both didn’t know, but I suggest you guys search who the Petrovich family is—especially you, bro Leo. Search that name now, and you will know whether I’m a weak person or not p>
Leo, p>
He didn’t want to waste his time entertaining Stefan and didn’t care who the Petrovich family was. But looking at Stefan’s proud and disdainful expression now, he had no choice but to take a look.
“Don’t tell your family is a military family or related to your president?” Leo casually said while typing the search engine on her cell phone. He can’t come from a prestigious family, right?
“Or, your family owns some kind of martial arts Leo’s words faded suddenly when he read the article on his cell phone. A few moments later, he looked at Stefan in shock.
“Fuck! Your family is p>
“Yeah! So now you know, right?” Stefan proudly said.
After finishing their discussion, Bella finally bid goodbye.
She still needs to settle a few pending tasks before Tristan comes to pick her up.
However, before Bella went downstairs to her office, she remembered Sam and the task she had assigned him. Her steps halted before she entered the elevator and turned to look at Stefan standing behind her.
“Stefan, I forgot to ask you to investigate the death of Robert, Laura Kiels’ manager p>
“Oh, that fat and unattractive man is finally dead!?” Stefan immediately corrected himself when he saw Bella’s sharp gaze as if she were scolding him with her eyes. “Oops… I’m sorry… I mean, why did he die?” he asked with a guilty smile.
“It’s a lengthy story. You can search online for details of his accident. But I want you to investigate his death more thoroughly, based not only on what’s on the internet but also on police and morgue reports and based on the places he was days before and right upon his untimely death,” she paused, glancing at Leo, who stood beside Stefan.
Bella returned her gaze to Stefan again before continuing, “You see, Stefan, I believe his death was unnatural. I suspect someone murdered him p>
“What? Someone killed him?” Leo shouted, surprised by what he heard. He hadn’t considered it; he had simply assumed Robert died due to negligence.
“Yeah, I suspect his death isn’t as simple as the news out there,” Bella responds to Leo and turns to Stefan again. “Stefan, I have our people, Sam, from Sentinel Network to investigate the fields, but with your help, we might get faster information about the exact cause of Robert’s death p>
“Okay, understood, sister. I’ll gather all the related information that might help us to get a clearer picture of the case and report it to you later p>
Stefan started thinking the same as Bella because Robert was the key person they needed to testify in court. If he suddenly died, that meant someone wanted to bury him along with the evidence. And only one person came to his mind who was capable of doing so; it was Laura Kiels.
“Thank you, little brother.” Bella smiled as she continued walking towards the elevator, but her hand still held the door from closing. “And you need to rest first before working. We can talk about it again tomorrow p>
“You know me so well, sis. I indeed need to lie on the large, soft bed He laughs.
Stefan felt sleepy and tired now. He felt like his body was being torn apart. He really hated long-distance flights. This is why he only lived in NY in the past five years, never flew long hours, let alone intercontinental flights, and didn’t even visit his family in Europe.
“Good! Okay. Get your badly needed rest, and we’ll talk again later. Bye p>
“Wait… Wait… One more thing, sister,” Stefan runs forward to stop the elevator door before closing. “There’s something I forgot to ask… does Sam know about my real identity p>
“I haven’t told him your real ID. So, I guess not. Are you alright if I told him!?” Bella asked. “And I think it would be best if he knows. Because, it would be troublesome if Sam were unaware of you since Sam leads the Sentinel Network in this country. He will work intensely with you in the future.
So, do you agree p>
Stefan ran his finger through his hair before responding to her, “Sure, sure. It’s fine. I know him from his confidential profile. He is indeed a trusted person… I can see why Jack put so much trust in him to protect you here p>
“Perfect! You know what, as an icebreaking between you and Sam, you can tell him about your real ID when you meet him later,” Bella smiled at Stefan warmly even though her tone was assertive.
Before the door closed, she turned her gaze to Leo and said, “Leo, would you mind taking care of my little brother Stefan here? And be less…you…on him, will you p>
Leo rolls his eyes at her. He knows what Bella is referring to.
Earlier, he complained to her about how Stefan would disturb his peaceful, solo life.
However, of course, Bella only gave him a grin and wise words, “Hang in there, bro p>
Sigh! How shameless she is!
Leo silently sighed and turned to walk inside, but a hand landed on his shoulder before he could move. It completely shocked him—he hated someone touching him when he was least expecting, regardless of gender or age.
He vented his sarcasm while turning to scold Stefan. But when he saw his expression, he could feel his blood shiver.
’What the hell is this kiddo doing? Look at me like he saw me as a treasure!? And why is his smile different from before p>
Leo recalls how Stefan has tested his patience since meeting at the airport. However, now he seems completely different, overly clingy and needy, and he could see his eyes spark like gems.
’Fuck! Is he p>
Leo was too scared to continue his thoughts. He immediately shook his head to throw away the idea that this man was actually gay.
