Chapter 345
Blake's POV
I had heard the news from my assistant and knew that Leo had come to see me. When I saw Leo push the door open, I immediately frowned. "How much did you drink?"
"I have something very important to tell you!" After Leo finished speaking, he raised a mobile phone. "This is Sunny's phone. She went to see Olivia and recorded Olivia's statement. It seemed that Richard was really behind it."
'Play it, now!" My face instantly darkened and my voice was urgent.
Leo clicked the recording. After the two of us listened to it, Leo said coldly, "This is the evidence. We can send Richard to prison again. The werewolf court will give him the trial he deserves."
*Leo, I also have something to tell you!" I was very angry after listening to the recording, but I could not be impulsive. After a few seconds of silence, I finally made a decision.
When Leo saw that I didn't react the way he did, his expression changed greatly and suppressed his anger. "Blake, did you not understand what Olivia said?" Richard asked her to seduce Marc. We don't know what method Richard used to make Marc fall in love with Olivia. Richard must be punished as quickly as possible."
"I know, Leo. Of course, Richard is guilty!" I raised my head and looked at Leo with pain in my eyes. Then, I said in a low voice, "Do you know that Emerson doesn't have much time left?"
"What?" Leo trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. "Blake, what did you just say? What happened to Emerson?"
'Emerson doesn't have much time left, I heard it with my own ears!" I crossed my hands on my forehead as if to cover up my sadness. I was also unwilling to accept such a fact, but the truth was so cold that it forced me to accept it.
"How can this be? I also called Emerson's doctor. The doctor told me that Emerson was in good condition. Blake, who told you that? It was nonsense!" Leo could not believe it. This was different from what he heard and he could not accept it.
*I overheard Emerson and Patricia talking about it. This is true! My tone was full of sorrow.
'Really? Is this true?" Leo suddenly felt unsteady and sat on the desk. He looked shocked. 'No wonder when I went back to see him last time, he seemed to have lost weight and he didn't look well. So that's how it is!"
"Leo, I understand why you want to bring Richard to justice. I feel the same as you, and I want to send Richard to court immediately. However, how sad would Emerson be if he knew about it?" I almost couldn't continue, because by doing so, Emerson would be so mad and it might get him killed.
Leo finally experienced my complicated and contradictory feelings, and he became silent.
I murmured, "Emerson seemed to be ruthless to Richard, but Richard was still his son after all. When I was a child, I heard that Emerson cared more about Richard than Marc. So, after he helped me send Richard to prison, he fell seriously ill. Because he was heartbroken. His son, who he had valued the most, did such a thing that made him disappointed. This time, if Emerson knew the truth, he definitely couldn't make it."
Leo's eyes were also red.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
In the office, it was dead silent. Neither of us spoke, and the atmosphere was filled with deep sadness.
"When did you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Leo put down his arm and looked up at me. There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
*I found out not too long ago. Before, I asked the doctor about Emerson's condition every day, but the doctor gave me the same answer. He always told me that Emerson's condition was good." My expression was dyed with sadness, and my voice was stiff as I replied.
'The wolf pack doctor lied to us. How come? He lied to me about Emerson's condition." Leo cursed angrily and lost her temper.
"It's pointless to scold him. Emerson and Patricia discussed it and made him do that!" But I could still calmly accept the truth.
Leo looked at me blankly. "Then what else can we do now? Blake, tell me!"
I stared at him, and then I sighed. "At least, when Emerson is alive, don't do anything to make him angry."
"What should we do so that he won't be angry? Do you want to let Richard go?" Leo said, annoyed.
"I've decided to get engaged to Catherine. I told Dowen to prepare everything. Three days later, we'll hold an engagement ceremony. Our wedding will be at the end of the month!" I told Leo my decision.
"Getting engaged three days later? It's such a rush. Can you get everything prepared in time?" When Leo heard this, he frowned. He felt that there was not enough time.
"That's enough. I will try my best to let them make the ceremony luxurious in a limited time. Since the decision was made in a hurry, it would be OK if it didn't turn out so perfectly. I just want to make Emerson happy and let him be at ease!" I replied in a low voice. I had been harsh and picky, but I did not care about the details. I just wanted this result. Engagement and marriage, both settled at once.
"Well, I have nothing to do these days. I will also help you prepare your engagement banquet." Leo hoped that the engagement banquet would be grander.
There was finally a smile on my face. I said gently, "I won't trouble you. I have already asked Dowen to do this. He can handle it. I have faith in him!"
"But I also want to help!" After saying this, Leo suddenly looked up and met my eyes. He immediately explained in a panic, "Blake, don't get me wrong. I wanted to help, not because I still had any thoughts about Catherine. I just wanted to help you organize a better engagement banquet!"
Leo's face became red since he was anxious. I couldn't help but laugh. "I know. You don't need to explain it to me. You have already found your mate. How can I still doubt you?"
"Her? I don't want to mention her now!" A hint of anger flashed across Leo's face. Sunny's deception had hurt his feelings.
However, I gently said, "Don't hate her. She had her reasons. In the recording just now, you can tell that she doesn't intend to let Olivia escape from her crime."
"I don't care what she wants to do. She lied to me anyway!" Leo gritted his teeth.
"Do you hate her that much?" I felt that he was sometimes very childish.
Leo turned around and did not answer me.
"Alright, I won't persuade you. This is your relationship. I believe that Moon Goddess will guide you to make the right decision!" I decided not to mention it anymore.
"Blake, are we not going to announce this matter before Emerson passes away? What if Richard goes farther? Maybe he has even more despicable means waiting for you. After he came out this time, he probably still wanted to be Lycan King. So, you have to be careful of him!" Leo said worriedly.
"Of course, I've always been wary of him. Don't worry, I won't let my guard down!" My hand clenched into a fist. *Blake, how long do you think Emerson has left? A year?" Leo's eyes flashed with uneasiness.
"I also hope that it will be a year, but his condition is not good. Maybe a few months, maybe..." I went silent. I did not want to continue.
Leo froze, and he looked uneasy. "Will it really be so fast? If Richard knew about this, would he stop? Didn't he know that he was the one who made Emerson fall ill back then? Will he feel a little guilty?"
I sneered and mocked, "Do you still expect an ambitious person like him to feel guilty? He has always hated Emerson and Marc."
"Blake, then we can't let him know about Emerson's condition!" Leo said indignantly.
"Richard will be here tonight. Do you want to come and see him?" I sneered.
Leo shook his head. "I don't want to see him. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and kill him!"
"You have to control yourself!" I lectured him.
Of course, it was impossible for Leo to really kill someone. He just felt that, with his bad temper, he could not calm down after seeing Richard and unpleasant things would happen. That way, it would also stimulate Emerson and exacerbate his illness.
"Okay, I will try my best to control my temper. Blake, keep the recording. I'm leaving!" After saying that, Leo left. However, he lost the excitement of having discovered something as he arrived just now.
