They walked one after the other until they reached a secluded corner at the back of the Cloud View Cloud View Villa.
Nineteen asked curiously, “Mr. Fallen, why do you have such a cautious expression? What do you want to say?”
“In front of me, there’s no need to pretend. I know you have a motive for following Grace,” Edgar
stated.
Nineteen’s expression instantly turned vicious. “Since you’ve figured it out, I’m sorry!”
He quietly reached for a small knife at his waist and swiftly aimed it at Edgar’s throat.
Edgar swiftly stepped back, evading the attack effortlessly.
Within three moves, he had subdued Nineteen, firmly holding his hands behind his back.
“You can kill me. After all, I won’t be able to complete the mission over there. Sooner or later, I’ll die.” Nineteen said with resignation.
Edgar chuckled and released his grip. “Why would I want to kill you? I merely came to talk. I have no interest in you.”
Nineteen was perplexed. “Don’t you love Miss Grace? I was sent there to harm her. Now that you’ve exposed my identity, why don’t you do it?”
Edgar stared at him with dark eyes. “You have feelings for her, don’t you?”
Nineteen blushed instantly. “No, no” how could I?!”
Edgar had always been astute when it came to reading people, especially men’s intentions towards Grace. Since realizing his own love for her, he had developed a keen ability to sense others’ feelings
for her.
“You do have feelings for her, or else you wouldn’t have hidden for so long without harming her. There’s no need to hide it. Tell me about the plan over there. Perhaps I can help you find a solution,” Edgar suggested.
Nineteen looked at him and found himself inexplicably drawn to his aura. He knew that Edgar’s identity was not ordinary, and now he felt compelled to confide in him and seek his help.
He decided to put his trust In Edgar, at least this once. “Three days from now, at night, they want me to lure Miss Grace to an abandoned warehouse in the forest on the eastern outskirts of the city. This time, they have set up numerous ambushes. It will be more dangerous.”

He sighed and continued, “Miss Grace is the only one who has treated me sincerely. I really can’t bear to harm her. But if she doesn’t die, I will die, and they are watching me closely. I can’t escape. What can you do, Mr. Edgar pandered for a moment, his black eyes calm and resolute. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, “Tell them you will arrange it. I will keep it a secret for you. There’s no need to tell her.”
“Huh?” Nineteen was taken aback. “But three days later”
Edgar’s black eyes remained steady. “I’ll go.”
In the afternoon, Edgar didn’t leave the Cloud View Villa. Instead, he took care of the household chores.
As the time for Grace to finish work approached, he went to the kitchen and began preparing

dinner. These were the last few days he would spend by her side, and he wanted to cook for her every day.
Even after he left, even if she didn’t miss him, he hoped her stomach would remember him.
He chuckled involuntarily, his lips curving into a gentle smile.
Just then, the sound of a text message interrupted his thoughts. Glancing at his phone, he saw a message from Eric. It contained only an exclamation point, indicating something urgent.
Edgar’s smile faded, and his expression turned serious. This was a coded message suggesting a pressing matter.
Checking the time, he realized he still had forty minutes before Grace finished work. He quietly drove to a meeting spot in the suburbs where Nick was waiting for him.
Eric paced anxiously by the roadside, waiting specifically for Edgar’s arrival When he saw the car approaching, he hurriedly ran over and got into the passenger seat.
Leaning closer to Edgar’s ear, he whispered, “Mr. Fallen, someone from 5 City has arrived!”
Edgar furrowed his brows. Why would someone come at this time?
With a grave expression, he started the engine and drove to the designated meeting place.
They arrived at an abandoned construction site, and simultaneously, Grace received a call from Eleven.
Eleven reported Edgar’s peculiar whereabouts to Grace in detail. Suspicion crept into her mind as she pondered his sudden visit to the construction site. Who did he want to see there? And why was he being guarded?
“Alright, I understand. I’ll go take a look later,” Grace replied after a moment of silence.
Meanwhile, Edgar led Eric into the dilapidated building. Three men were already present inside.
The leader, Uncle Alfred, in his forties, smiled respectfully as he saw Edgar enter. He bowed his head. in deference.
“Hello, Mr. Fallen,” Uncle Alfred greeted.
Edgar’s expression remained cold. “Uncle Alfred, what’s the matter?”
Uncle Alfred’s expression gradually turned serious. “It’s urgent. This is an emergency recall order. You must come with me. The old man believes it’s your best chance to regain your position and authority.”
Edgar fell silent. He had hoped to spend the last seven days by Grace’s side, but even that now seemed like a luxury. Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, he recalled the plan Nineteen. had mentioned earlier in the day.
“Give me three more days. I have one last thing to take care of. I’ll go back and apologize in person.” Edgar requested.
Uncle Alfred’s face darkened. “Mr. Fallen, you know how strict the family rules are. If you defy the emergency recall order, you’ll face severe punishment.”
Edgar’s demeanor remained composed. “I understand. Three days, thirty lashes.”
With one hand, he loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves. He then unbuttoned his suit and shirt, discarding them and leaving them in Eric’s grasp.
“Mr. Fallen”” Eric gripped the discarded clothes tightly, concern etched on his face. What if Edgar
couldn’t endure the punishment and his suppressed illness resurfaced?
