348 The Cunning Lord

The office door was closed again, and the air inside was quiet and suffocating.

Bella was sitting on the sofa and leisurely drinking the tea Luc personally offered. This time, she didn’t come to talk about the project, so she was not in a hurry.

Luc sat across from her, seeing her drinking slowly and not planning to talk. He coughed softly and said slowly. "I watched that video."

Bella drank the tea and raised her lips, revealing a very sincere smile. "Mr. Mayor's tea is very good."

Luc smiled embarrassed and said, "I want to know, where did the lady get the video?"

Bella still didn’t talk, what she wanted to hear was not this sentence.

Luc was somewhat uncertain about her thoughts, and smiled bitterly. "E&B can have the priority to get the land in the development zone as the investor in the new district."

Bella smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Mayor, you are so nice."

Luc lowered his head and shook it helplessly. The young generation nowadays was really... better and better.

Bella finally put down the cup and revealed to him. "In fact, when I first saw your daughter, I doubted her. Because her voice is too much like a person who I am familiar with."

Luc looked up at her. "You meant your sister Lynn?"

"She is not my sister." Bella said, "I will explain this later." She asked, "Don't you feel that your daughter's voice has changed?"

Luc shook his head. "Nancy always has asthma. The air here is very bad for her. So she lives abroad all year round. We only met once a year. This time she returned to China and explained that her voice became like this after a cold. My wife and I have always felt guilty to her, so we don’t care about this so much, therefore we haven’t doubted her."

Bella nodded understandingly. "So because you seldomly reunion together, you don't know much about Nancy's living habits. Is it?"

Luc nodded, "Yeah."

He said, "I will check this matter myself. Just before I can find out the facts, please not tell my wife. I am afraid, it will be too much for her."

"Fine."

Luc clasped his hands tightly, because of the strength, his joints of both hands were somewhat white.

He was silent for a long time before he asked, "Do you know my Nancy... Where is she now?"

Bella thought about it and told him, "I heard that a few months ago, she and several students encountered a kidnapping incident when they traveled to Africa..."

Luc hung his head, but Bella saw a tear gently falling on his hand.

His voice was strongly suppressed, but with a very obvious trembling, "Who did it?"

Bella quickly thought of Charles’s words, "Only he can force the Earl to expose himself."

She thought about it and said, "Mayor. Smith could investigate Mr. Spencer. I heard that some people have earned high profits by selling human organs."

"Well, thank you, the lady." Luc looked up at her, and there was still blood in his eyes. "There is still some process about the land to operate. The lady, please go back and submit the project book soon, I will sign it on time."

This was to ask her to leave first.

Bella’s purpose had been achieved, she stood up and said to him, "Mr. Mayor, have a nice day."

She was not a cold person, but at this time, she had no way to comfort him like an old acquaintance.

After going out of the door, she heard a muffled sound coming from inside, as if something had been crashed.

She shook her head and pitied the parents’ hearts.

It was not easy for Luc to control his emotions to such an extent.

Just, how could he force Earl to expose himself? And after he exposed, what would happen? How would Charles deal with Earl, and... Katherine.

When Bella walked out of the government building, Charles still welcomed her for the first time.

Bella was sitting in Mercedes-Benz and looked at the direction of the car. She couldn’t help but frown. “I have to go back to the company to submit the project book.”

Charles, without her consent, took her back to William’s Mansion, he was too much.

Charles felt some grievances. "Don't you say that you want to know how I plan to deal with Earl?"

"You can tell me on the way to send me to the company? Or you can say it now." Bella was a little angry, "Why do you go back to William’s Mansion, I will not go."

"Because the plan is very long, I can't finish it in the car."

"You can make it short."

"That would not be very clear." Charles explained.

"You don't talk about it how you know if I can't understand or not." Bella was impatient.

"Luc will force Earl to leave the country. We can start our plan by helping him to arrest." Charles stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at her. "I finished."

"You finished?" Bella was speechless. "You obviously said nothing."

"Bell, you let me make it short." Charles pursed his lips and looked innocent. He looked at the front of the car. "We can turn around at the intersection. If you want to go back to the company, I will send you. If you want to hear more, we will return to William’s Mansion."

"Even if I want to hear more, we don't have to go back to William’s Mansion."

"Because the plan will be very long, I am afraid that you are hungry."

"We can eat outside, if we are hungry."

“There are a lot of people in the restaurant, and our plan should be secret.”

"You can also go to my home." Bella was doing the last struggle.

"Okay." Charles agreed. "He should also be interested in knowing this plan."

Ah?

Bella didn’t understand the situation, why did she think that Charles was actually not trying to return to William’s Mansion but wanted to go her home.

When they arrived, Edwin just woke up, and Bella saw his great spirit, her mood was also much better.

"Wow, I didn't expect my dad could be so handsome." Bella looked at Edwin, who seemed to be younger, and praised him happily. It seemed that Charles’s medicine was really miraculous.

"Beck family has a good gene." Edwin couldn’t say words like "If I weren’t so handsome, how I could give birth to such a beautiful daughter."

In fact, he was also worried. He didn’t know how long it would last that he would be younger for several years after a sleep. If he accidentally returned to his real age, how could he tell Bell Steven’s identity?

Edwin looked at Charles, "Why do you come again?"

Bella smiled and said, "I asked him to send me back." Then explained, "And he said that you should also know his plan to deal with Earl."

Edwin's brow lightly frowned. "The plan to deal with Earl?"
