356 Charles’s News

Bella turned her head and looked at Steven. Her smile was a little weak. "The plan has already begun. Of course, he has to go."

Steven locked the file into the cupboard and looked at Bella. "Let's go home, it's not very safe recently, we need to go home earlier."

It was not very safe recently...

Charles also said so.

In the next few days, Charles had never appeared again, breakfast was still made by the kitchen. It was winter, it was cold on the mountain, so they didn’t eat in the yard.

Bella asked Edwin’s opinion, Edwin also suggested that she should stay in the mountain these days, waiting for Charles’s news.

Half a month passed, and the work that could be done remotely had already been done remotely by her, only the scene left to be confirmed.

Although Steven could directly confirm, but Bella would manage the company in the future, Bella currently only followed the early stage of the project. If the scene were completed by Steven, then the project would lose its meaning.

Bella found Edwin, hoping to return to work. She said, "We can never get on the road because of a car accident. We can never eat because of being poisoned. I don't want to be a drag in Charles's plan, so I didn't go anywhere these days. But dad, half a month passed, he didn’t have any news. What if he didn’t appear forever, did I have to stay in the mountain forever?”

Charles’s didn’t send any progress of the plan recently, he did not appear as if he had already evaporated in the world.

Edwin did not directly refuse her, he only said, "Bell, as Charles’s ability, his plan is postponed. This shows that there must be a very difficult thing coming out halfway. We should wait for more days."

However, another half a month passed.

Her belly with four-month pregnancy had already become obvious, and Charles seemed to have completely disappeared from her life.

Occasionally, when it was quiet in the night, Bella would call him without control, but only the cold machine sounds responded to her.

Bella thought that she must have had a poison called Charles, telling herself to forget, but she didn’t know that every time she persuaded herself to forget was the miss of him.

The mountain in the early winter was already cold. In the morning, Bella wrapped herself in a thick scarf, the person in the mirror was a little fat. Bella looked at her belly that was wrapped in a coat and not obvious, she sighed.

She thought that as long as Charles could be safe. Even they were not together, it would be good.

If he still wanted to be with her, she would not push him away. She should give her child a complete family, wasn't it?!

When Bella went to the restaurant, she heard Steven and Edwin talking.

Steven was a bit embarrassed. "It’s not a good way to let Bell stay in the mountain all the time. There are a lot of unfriendly voices in the company. When the project has been designed, Bell didn’t appear, the staff’s complaints are already very strong. This project originally should have been operated by Bell independently. If she does not appear next, it will be difficult for her to master the E&B group alone in the future."

Edwin sighed. "In fact, Bell is more anxious than you. She told me about it half a month ago. But there is no news from Charles, we are not very clear about the next step of the lab. Charles’s plan, this time, if he succeeds, it will be fine. But now it seems..."

He sighed again. "People from the Sea Creature Gene Research Institute are much smarter than Earl. These years they have been tolerant all the time, I don't know if they will fall Charles’s trap or not."

"Half a month ago, there was a gun battle on the high seas, I did not know how Charles was. After that, we couldn’t contact him. Nick couldn’t go into the sea, we didn’t know if he was dead or alive...”

Flop!

Steven’s voice just stopped, there was a sound of footsteps staggering from the door.

Steven quickly stood up and walked outside the door, he saw Bella leaning against the door frame and held her chest and her mouth was gasping.

"Bell!" Steven quickly held her into the dining room.

Bella sat down on the chair and looked at Steven. The tears rushed down in a string, but she tried to restrain the trembling voice and asked word by word, "What was the gun battle half a month ago? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Steven looked at Edwin and whispered. "Bell, you are pregnant, don't be so excited."

"I am not excited, I am not excited." Bella wiped her tears, grasped Steven’s hand, and tried to make her voice stable. "Brother, tell me, what happened to Charles? Why he was on the high seas? Wasn’t it just a matter of sending out the news that Katherine is a mermaid? How could there be a gun battle?”

In the plan, Charles only said that he would force Earl to let Katherine become mermaid status, then he could give the news to all the researchers, so the research institutes led by Sea Creature Gene Research Institute would fight with Earl, when they lose both sides, he then revealed that Katherine's mermaid phenomenon was only a chemical mutation under the influence of drugs. It was not a real mutation at all, so the legend of the mermaid would break naturally. The royal family and heads of state would no longer invest in the search for mermaid, and such research institutes would gradually disappear.

This was a top-down control method, starting from Earl to win the royal family’s trust, to let the royal people believe that the mermaid was just a means for Earl to collect money.

As long as the state did not support them, they had no funding, this type of research would not continue. Later generations could finally be safe.

Therefore, after listening to the plan, Bella only felt that Charles was cruel to Katherine, but she did not know that there was a certain danger for Charles.

Steven’s wrist was pinched into white by her fingers. He looked at her, and there was pain in his gentle eyes that she could hardly understand. He said, "Bell, do you still love him, right?"

Bella didn’t answer this question at all, seeing that Steven couldn’t give her the answer she wanted, she directly turned to Edwin, crying and asking, "Dad, tell me, please. What is going on of Charles?"

Edwin knew that he couldn’t hide from her anymore, and said, “Earl summoned the people of various institutes to meet on the high seas, so that everyone can see Katherine’s appearance after mutation.”

"What does this have to do with Charles?"

"Katherine, who became a mermaid at that time, naturally became the object of competition, and Charles must show his desire for mermaid, otherwise he would become a more doubtful person. So..."

"So that is a war for Katherine after the mutation?" Bella burst into tears. "He knows that it is a trap, why should he go, why should he appear?"

"Because now, he has to prove that Katherine is a mermaid that comes through special blood mutation. Only then will all the eyes of the institute be removed from our Beck family. Instead, they will aim at the Spencer family."

Repositioning the suspected target blood was the most important part of this plan.

As long as the outside world determined that Katherine was a mermaid, the Earl family would be the new object with special blood.

Beck family, would be safe from now on!

Therefore, Charles would like to face the risk and contributed to this.
