"Don't worry, Ms. Thompson! I'm not tired at all!" Cece vibrated with excitement. "I'm just so happy to meet you! I feel like I have endless energy!"
"I'm glad to see you're alright too," Bella said, taking a deep breath, her eyes filled with concern. "The person I had you approach is extremely dangerous and ruthless. A single mistake could cost you your life."
Cece shook her head gently, her gaze resolute. "I'm not afraid. If I were, I wouldn't have accepted your request when you came to me. My brother and I grew up depending on each other. Ever since he joined Pivotage and became Christopher's bodyguard, he was constantly berated and beaten. Eventually, Christopher beat him so badly that he was left permanently disabled. His right leg is completely ruined! Christopher is a beast in human clothing! He doesn't treat people like human beings; he sees them only as tools for venting his anger!"
Bella gazed at Cece's flushed face, twisted with hatred, and felt deep sympathy for her.
"Now that you've sought me out, I'm willing to do anything to help bring down that monster, even if it means sacrificing myself!" Cece's eyes welled up with tears.
"I don't want you to sacrifice yourself. I want you to take your revenge, then walk away safely and live on. What would your brother do if something happened to you?" Bella felt a sharp pang in her chest.
"Once, there was a girl who died protecting me. That pain is a wound in my heart that will never heal. This time, even though I asked you for help, I won't force you into anything. You can choose to leave at any time. I'll still reward you handsomely. Not only that, but I'll also help treat your brother's leg."
Steven immediately looked proud as he chimed in. "Ms. Bella is an exceptional surgeon, a miracle worker in her field! With her on your brother's case, I guarantee he'll recover!"
Cece's eyes lit up with renewed hope.
"Well, I wouldn't say guaranteed, but I'll do everything I can to help your brother's leg heal to its best possible state," Bella quickly added. "But please don't feel pressured because of this. Regardless of whether we succeed or not, I'll do my utmost to help your brother."
"Thank you, Ms. Thompson. But don't worry about me. Now that I'm involved, I'm committed to seeing this through," Cece replied, unwavering in her resolve.
Bella nodded gratefully. "Today, when you approached Christopher to deliver the medication, you weren't discovered, right?"
"Not yet, but that bastard is incredibly cautious!" Cece frowned deeply. "When he saw I was new, he didn't let me administer the injection. He kicked me out and then had his secretary secretly investigate my background and check if the medication was tampered with. That man is so paranoid!"
Bella let out a cold laugh. "That's to be expected. He wouldn't have survived this long if he wasn't this cautious,"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"But I think he ended up using the medicine I brought, and he didn't give me any further trouble. He probably hasn't discovered my identity yet."
"Even though I created a fake identity for you, and there's no blood relation between you and your brother, Christopher is a highly dangerous man-sharp, cunning, and suspicious-so we can't afford to let our guard down."
Cece and her brother were orphans who grew up together in the same orphanage. During the years her brother worked for the Iverson family, Cece was away studying and working as an intern, so Taylor had
not noticed the deep connection between them. This was precisely why Bella had chosen her-a true stroke of luck.
"So, Ms. Thompson, what do you want me to do next? Poison him or pull the plug?" Cece asked, her face eager and ready for action.
"Not yet." Bella leaned back calmly. "For now, don't do anything. Just deliver his medication on time every day,"
Cece looked puzzled. "With such a good opportunity to get close to him, aren't you eager to make a move?"
"Haste makes waste. Christopher is incredibly suspicious. If we act rashly, all our efforts could be for nothing." Bella's eyes gleamed with determination. "Right now, gaining his trust and getting him to lower his guard is more important than anything else. I have already planned out the rest."
