My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 648

Chapter 648 Owen Walton

Today's assassination plot had specifically targeted Shawn. If he had been present, he would have been in grave danger.

It was clear that Charles would never dispatch someone to rescue him.

I felt a sense of gratitude that I happened to be the one present. As the leader of the Xenoses, my position couldn't be overlooked by Charles, and that was how I managed to escape from harm's way.

The man on the ground remained silent throughout. His body was covered in wounds, but he didn't utter a word. I crouched down and took off his mask. His gaze was resolute, filled with determination and a sense of fighting against all odds.

His face bore the marks of time.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that he still looked relatively young.

Fueled by anger, I confronted the silent figure before me. "Still unwilling to speak? The Xenoses possess various methods to extract information. I will ask you once more. Are you going to answer me or not?"

Suddenly, Charles spoke up beside me. "I know him."

Surprised, I looked up and inquired, "Charles, you know him?"

"Yes, miss," he replied.

Turning his attention to the person, Charles asked, "Are you Owen Walton?"

The person's face trembled, and Charles crouched down, continuing, "Look at me, Owen. Do you still recognize me? It's been nine years since we last saw each other."

Owen's eyes welled up with tears. "Yes, Old Mr. Xenos."

Confusion enveloped me, and I sought clarification. "What is happening here?"

Standing up, Charles explained, "Miss, his name is Owen Walton. He used to be Mr. Xenos' bodyguard nine years ago."

Nine years ago...

All of Shawn's bodyguards were replaced during that time.

Does that include Owen, who now stands in front of me?

And then there's that confidentiality agreement...

A flood of revelations started to make their way into my mind. It felt like the pieces of a puzzle were slowly coming together, but many crucial details remained hidden deep within.

Joseph had warned me not to delve into the events of the past, but there were certain things I couldn't ignore. I had an unwavering determination to uncover the truth.

Speaking up, I inquired, "Do you know Zack?"

Owen's gaze flickered, but he remained silent.

Once again, Charles stepped in to answer my question. "Yes, he knows him. Zack was a fellow bodyguard at the same time, and they had a close relationship."

"Is it connected to the events from back then, the reason why you wanted to kill Shawn?" I turned my attention toward Charles. "Tell me, what exactly happened back then?"

Charles offered an apology. "I'm sorry, miss. That's a secret."

"Did you also sign the confidentiality agreement?"

Charles was taken aback. "Miss, you know about that?"

"Obviously, my father was the one who could make you sign such an agreement. And now they're trying to assassinate Shawn. So, what transpired between my father and Shawn all those years ago?"

Charles remained silent.

"You're still refusing to reveal the truth?" I asserted firmly.

"Miss, since you're aware of the existence of the confidentiality agreement, you must understand that I cannot disclose the truth. It would go against the spirit of our contract," he responded.

"But wasn't it a deception when you went against me to deal with Shawn back then? Isn't deceiving your head a violation of the spirit of the contract? You conveniently disregard the principles of the contract when it suits you, and you fiercely uphold them when it's unnecessary. It's utterly absurd!" My frustration was becoming increasingly apparent.

Charles was taken aback. "Miss, are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
