President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 871 Taking Over a Place

He fell silent, and so did Queeny.

After a moment he sneered, “So the story of the farmer and the snake does make sense.”

Felix let out a little sigh.

“Perhaps.”

Queeny asked, “Who are they?”

Felix frowned.

“We’ve already grilled him, but he doesn’t know.”

Queeny frowned.

“He was contacted by email,” Felix explained, “I have sent someone to track down the IP address of

the email, but it was not found. It must have been treated specially. He did not know the identity of the

other party, only that they gave him a lot of money and promised him a higher position.”

“Maybe men do struggle upwards. It’s not surprising he said yes. How can being a little bodyguard here

be any better than being the head of a place and taking over a place?”

Queeny sneered at the words.

“Taking over a place? Really? A man who can turn against his benefactor on the basis of an email from

someone else has a bad personality, not to mention a bad brain. How could such a person succeed?”

Felix did not respond.

Suddenly they were silent again.

It was a long time before Queeny said, “So, the trail is dead again?”

Felix nodded.

“Kind of. Ford is a master of torture, and he hasn't been able to pry anything out of him. Obviously,

there’s nothing left.”

Queeny was in a bad mood.

The feeling of being so weak and so uncomfortable came back to her again.

How many times was this?

The enemy had reached between them, wounding her and Felix multiple times. But she could not even

find a clue about them, and did not even know the identity of the other side.

Queeny had a strange feeling of restlessness in her heart.

Felix’s mood was no better. But he was more optimistic than Queeny.

This had gone round and round for so many years. He knew something was wrong four years ago, so

all the patience he needed was honed in those four years.

Therefore, he had no fear that he might fail to discover the identity of the other.

It was just a matter of time.

But he did not say these words to Queeny.

Because he could not tell her that he had known about the existence of such a man behind the scene

four years before.

Queeny didn’t ask. After sending him to his room, she told him to go to bed early and left.

The next day.

When Queeny went to find Felix, she overheard Ella talking to a man dressed as a security guard not

far away.

Ella was the maid who looked after her in the inner yard. She wouldn’t normally have anything to do

with security outside.

Why were they standing next to each other?

Queeny went over curiously.

But she saw her at once, and stopped talking.

She took a step back and said respectfully, “Miss Horton.”

Queeny gave him a look.

As she got closer, she saw that although he was a bodyguard in the castle, he did not look like a man

who would fight.

He was elegant and pale as a scholar.

She smiled and asked Ella, “Who is this?”

Ella blushed and said sheepishly, “Queeny, his name is Dean. He’s our bodyguard in the castle.

Because of Mr. Bissel’s recent injury, he’s been reassigned to the inner perimeter to protect the main

building.”

Queeny nodded with a knowing “oh”.

Then, as her eyes moved over their uneasy faces, she understood.

With a flash of fun in her eyes, she smiled and said, “This is a period of strict security control, so it may

be hard for you. Thank you for your hard work.”

Dean was flattered.

He bent down and said, “No, no, no, that’s what we’re supposed to do.”

Queeny smiled and said nothing more, then asked Ella to go with her.

She noticed Ella looking back at Dean as she left.

Well, a girl in love...

Queeny often acted cold and didn’t seem to care about anything, but in fact, she was just a normal

person.

She was as curious and gossipy as a normal person. At the same time, she had a blessing for those

who loved each other.

As Ella was the only new acquaintance who was close to her during this period, if she could really find

her beloved and if he was reliable, she would also bless them.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help thinking that someday she would definitely ask Donald to check the

history and background of Dean.

Although the people Felix could have sent to this side were certainly not unclean.

But it was more reassuring to check after all.

A smile came to her face as she thought of it.

Soon she was in Felix’s room.

Ella did not go in. Instead, she stayed outside with the maids, either chatting with them or helping them

with their work. She was just waiting for Queeny to need anything, and was always at her service.

In the bedroom, Felix was leaning against the bed, reading.

He was shirtless and his entire upper body was covered with bandages. He leaned in there like a

patient recovering from an injury.

Queeny, who had rarely seen him look so good, smiled as she walked past.

“How are you feeling today?”

Felix looked up at her. “Won’t die.”

“Well, it would be a shame if the other party found out.”

Her jest drew Felix’s eyes.

He was keenly aware that Queeny seemed in a much better mood today than yesterday.

He simply dropped the book and patted the edge of his bed.

“Come here.”

Queeny raised her eyebrows. “What?”

“Come when I tell you to.”

His tone annoyed her a little. But after all, she thought, he was a sick man now, and what was the point

of being angry with a sick man?

So she grunted and went over without saying anything.

A gleam of excitement lit Felix’s eyes. “I’ve got good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear

first?”

Queeny froze and turned to look at him.

There was a suspicion in her eyes.

After a while, she chose the bad news without hesitation.

Felix croaked, “The spy we caught died in the middle of the night.”

Queeny stared in amazement.

“He’s dead? How?”

“In the middle of the night, he spit out the cloth that had been stuffed in his mouth, and then he chewed

his tongue and killed himself.”

Queeny was shocked!

She never thought it would end like this.

Her expression changed and changed again. “What’s the good news then?” she said. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Felix relaxed and smiled. “We found something in him.”
