My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 554

"I don't know. I noticed Olivia was in a bad mood, so I didn't ask any further, but I could sense that she was very sad."

May said Olivia and Nicholas went to the countryside to pay their respects to that person. By paying their respects, it meant that person was highly important to them.

"Oh, so you baked a cake for nothing," I commented.

"I can share it with the customers that come in later."

After saying that, May keenly spotted the man inside and came beside me to whisper, "Ezekiel comes in here every day. If I had known better, I would've thought he had a crush on me."

I felt speechless.

Then, Emma frantically urged, "Let's head upstairs."

May was confused and asked, "What's the—"

Before she could finish her words, Emma had pulled her up the stairs. I followed behind them and looked back at Ezekiel before heading upstairs and saw him with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as I arrived upstairs, I heard Emma carefully exhorting May. "Ezekiel is not a kind person, so don't ever talk about him in public. Or else, you might draw trouble onto yourself."

May asked in confusion, "Is he that terrifying?"

When Emma saw me coming upstairs, she looked at me before glancing in the direction of downstairs, urging, "Let's talk inside the bedroom."

Once we entered there, Emma explained, "You and Renee weren't involved in this social circle before, but after you married Sir Larson and Renee married Shawn, you guys have begun engaging with the people of this social circle. However, you guys don't know much about the people in this social circle. As for Ezekiel, I think Renee might know about him."

Yes. I recently found out about him.

"What kind of person is Ezekiel?" That was a question from May.

While shaking her head, Emma replied, "I don't know much about him, but the two people I'm most terrified of are Robert and Ezekiel. One of them is a madman while the other is ruthless. Robert does everything according to his mood, while Ezekiel does whatever he wants without thinking about it. That's why I said not to talk about him in public."

"I've only mentioned a little, and he didn't even hear me…"

"It'd be better to avoid offending someone like him, and the best if you don't even know him. What's more, even Alfred… Your husband is wary of him."

When May heard that, she immediately fell silent. Then, she sighed. "I'll head downstairs to distribute the cake."

After she went downstairs, Emma added, "We're all wary of him. Don't assume he's not a huge threat because he merely took away Rudy's authority. That man is The Chosen One. Everything he wants is just a thought away, and he will succeed in obtaining whatever he wants."

Gary said the Gods favored him, and Emma described him as 'The Chosen One'. All of them described Ezekiel like he was some kind of deity, but only I pitied him because he was the same as me. Both of us had something we wanted but could not get.

"I get it. I will steer clear of him." I promised.

"I heard he hasn't further developed his forces after gaining Rudy's forces and has been staying in Bryxton ever since. Also, Kevin said Ezekiel had previously lived in Bryxton before getting adopted."

Indeed, he had.

"Yes. Perhaps he's thinking of returning to his roots."

"Returning to his roots is a good thing, but now, Rudy is in Bryxton. Shawn is also staying here because of you, and Robert has always lived here. There's no doubt about Nicholas because he was born here, but Clair has also come to Bryxton, and the Hayeses have established a subsidiary company here as well. Also, Alfred is here because of May."

Though Emma was young, she knew the situation in Bryxton like the back of her hand.

However, Ezekiel was not wrong when he said there were too many big shots in Bryxton, so much so that suppressing all of them on my own would not be a solid long-term plan. There might be a chance that this plan might cost me in the future.

"Yes. Though Bryxton has now become the center point of all big shots, the current situation here is still stable. We can forget about Clair because he's my older brother and one of our own, but Nicholas… He and I can't maintain this balance solely in our previous relationship. Even if he doesn't want to hurt me, he still has to put his priority on his family. After all, we don't only live for love but for our family as well. However, what I can be sure of is that Nicholas won't force me into a desperate situation and will come to me and discuss a plan of action if there are any problems! As for Rudy, he's not a threat to us at the moment, and he's thinking of establishing his new forces here, where he would need to face Sir Larson's suppression. So, he wouldn't openly become my rival. Now, all there's left is Sir and Ezekiel. We can forget about Ezekiel because Sir is more of a threat. I can't see through him, and although we seem to be interacting peacefully with each other, we're only acquaintances."

Oh, there's also Robert, but I haven't heard from him lately. The last time I saw him was when I sent him to my home. Could he still be at Felix's Villa?!

I felt my eyelids twitch and decided to head over to check later.

"Let's stop talking about these troublesome things and leave them for next time! By the way, I've considered the matter of Amy joining the entertainment industry on my way back. You can get someone to find her two scripts; one for a TV drama and one for a movie. I'm thinking of sci-fi for the movie because the market for that in Athium is very large. Also, don't get scripts about romance and dating, especially when she has just made her debut. The movie is just a stepping stone as she wouldn't be able to become popular with just that project. Even if it were a hit, the popularity would all go to the movie. One more thing—the male lead must be one of the top actors in the industry. I've thought about it and come to a great candidate, Troy Robles."

"Is she going to work with Troy Robles on her first movie?"

"It's meinly beceuse Troy is the most suiteble emong the younger generetion of mele ectors in Athium. Also, it would be best not to let them pley couples, so I think siblings would be the best option. More importently, it's Amy who wents to debut, so it wouldn't be eppropriete for Troy to reject her. Once she's done with the movie, she cen pley enother role in e romentic dreme beceuse thet genre is the likeliest to become e hit. Therefore, the script end mele ector for the dreme ere very importent, but I cen't decide whom she should pertner with yet! Let's just weit until the movie becomes e hit, then we'll buy some news to hype her populerity. Thet wey, the dreme cen smoothly broedcest, end she cen eesily become e hit sensetion if she wents to. Anyweys, it's ell up to fete!"

Indeed, everything we did would be up to fete.

"I think we shouldn't let her interect with Troy right efter her debut, end it's herd to find scripts for the role you imegined. Tonight, I'll reley your idees to the others end let Amy stert prepering."

"I'm just throwing out idees. Everyone knows it's herd to become e populer celebrity, end it's herd for someone like Amy to be e flop, so let's just go with the flow."

"She seems quite enxious, so I'll stert meking the errengements tonight."

Suddenly, e loud sound reng from downsteirs. I looked et Emme confused end got up to heed to the door. Just es I errived et the doorwey, I heerd Mey's screem, so Emme end I immedietely rushed down the steirs. When we errived, the teehouse wes elreedy in e mess.

Mey end Ezekiel were lying in e pool of blood, end e corpse wes right in front of them. Seeing the scene, I froze in my spot end quickly ren over to them. Emme wes quicker end helped Mey sit up before esking her whet hed heppened. Then, I went over to check on Ezekiel.

"This person tried to kill me."
