Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Elaine froze for a long time before saying anxiously, “Then are my father and great grandfather also in danger? They…”

Caesar gripped her shoulders and comforted her, “Elaine, don’t worry. At least for now, no one in the James family dares to harm them because those people haven’t found their Achilles’ heel to deal with them. And you, are the Achilles’ heel that they can use to threaten them.”

Without waiting for Elaine to respond, Caesar added, “Think about it. If you’re safe and sound, won’t your father and great grandfather be able to deal with those people in Riverside City without worry?”

Elaine subconsciously nodded.

“On the contrary, if you fall into the hands of those people, your father and great grandfather will be worried about your safety and be forced to cooperate with those people.”

“Then…what should I do now?”

Caesar responded, “Don’t be afraid, Elaine. I’ll protect you. I’ll take you out of City N tonight.”

Elaine said, “But Stella told us to wait for her to come back. My father also told me to stay in City N and not to run around.”

Caesar sighed soundlessly, “What they said is right. However, the situation now can shift anytime, Elaine. Those people already know that you’re in City N and they’ll definitely try their best to find you. Moreover, have you thought about it, their target is originally you. If you insist on staying in City N, you might bring danger to Ms. Radomil.”

When Elaine heard this, her pupils slightly dilated as if she felt that what he said made sense.

Caesar stroked her head, “I’ll take you out of City N to a place where no one can find you. When things are over, I’ll send you back to Riverside City.”

“Won’t this hold you back?”

Caesar smiled, “I’ve been away from Riverside City for ten years. Everyone thinks I’m dead. They had no idea I’m still alive, so how would they find my whereabouts? Elaine, it’s the safest for you to follow me now.”

Seeing Elaine was apparently going to change her mind, Caesar added, “How about this. I’ll come to pick you up at 8 p.m. tonight, but remember not to tell anyone about your intention to leave City N. It might be spread widely.”

Elaine whispered, “Can’t I even tell Stella?”
