The Killer Queen with Multiple Disguises

Chapter 376 The Eagle in the Sky, The Sparrow in the Cage

Gloria's sudden betrayal took William and Mel by surprise.

They never would have imagined that this seemingly gentle and loyal Blake was actually so sinister and cunning inside!

William's face was filled with disappointment, his eyes brimming with anger, "Black, where have I wronged you all these years?"

Mel's gaze was also very cold.

Black knew he had reached a dead end, no matter how much he tried to justify himself, it was useless. He hung his head in regret for having sided with Hedy and Preston to help Gloria.

If I Tedy and Preston hadn't been offended, the matter wouldn't have been exposed at all.

"You two, take Black and Gloria back to the castle," Mel ordered his confidants to leave with the people first.

"Yes, sir."

After Blake and Gloria left, Rosalie looked at Preston, then at Hedy, bowed deeply, expressing gratitude in his tone:

"Ms. Ellis, Mr. King, thank you for taking care of me and Ian these past few days, and thank you for not revealing my presence even at this point, thank you."

Hedy cherished her friendship with Preston.

"No problem, we will naturally fulfill what we promised you," Hedy replied indifferently, taking a moment to glance at the system prompt.

The moment when Rosalie recognized Annie, the Trial Mission (25) was also completed.

The new task would be released soon.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, Hedy? Hedy, you met Ian and me a long time ago?" William was surprised again.

Worried that William might misunderstand her and think she was conspiring with ITedy to deceive him, Rosalie took the initiative to explain:

About half a month ago, I fell ill and couldn't get out of bed to earn money. Out of desperation, Ian resorted to stealing on the streets for a few days.

He stole from Ms. Ellis and Mr. King, but Ms. Ellis and Mr. King didn't hold it against Ian, they even gave lan some money. Later, when I had a high fever, it was lan who found them and they took me to the hospital.

The surgical fee, hospitalization fee, including the hospital meal card, were all paid by them.

"But don't get me wrong, they didn't know I was Rosalie at first, of course, believe it or not, it's up to you.

Once upon a time, Rosalie was willing to pull out all the stops, just to gain William's trust.

Nowadays, after going through so much, Rosalie didn't care anymore.

"I believe in you, Rosalie! I believe in you!" William looked into Rosalie's indifferent eyes, feeling a severe pain in his heart!

How he longed for things to return to the very beginning, as if none of this had ever happened.

Rosalie looked at Annie and Jan in her arms, not responding to William's deep affection.

William's crimson pupils swept over the injured, settling his gaze on lan, who looked as if he was carved from the same mold as his younger self. He whispered softly:

"Ian, I was your father."

Jan turned to look at William, his gaze hesitant.

Seeing this, Rosalie let go of lan, not restricting lan's actions.

She didn't want to see William, but she couldn't deprive the child of the right to yearn for his father.

lan glanced at his mother and, with her silent approval, approached William.

William was thrilled to death, his eyes shimmering with tears, as he half-squatted and opened his arms towards Ian.

This was his son!

ITe had a son!

Tears also shimmered in Mel's eyes.

This was her great-grandson!

She had a great-grandson!

Ian was seen gradually moving towards William, closer, and even closer.

William, who was not one to shed tears easily, was also on the verge of crying on the

spol.

However, lan ignored William, bypassed him, and came to Preston. He hugged Preston's thigh, laughed brightly, and said loudly:

"Godfather, I missed you so much!"

Preston: "......"

Hedy: "..

||

William: "......"

Rosalie Shan: "..

Mel: "......"

Everyone was silent.

"Cough." Preston coughed lightly, looking at Hedy, "Didn't you say that lan rejected me, thinking that nine out of ten men are bad, and one is particularly bad, and he didn't want to call me godfather?"

Him coming up and hugging his thigh right away truly caught him off guard.

lan answered first, "Because I suddenly felt that compared to that idiotic scoundrel Mr. William, even the worst man is a kind and intelligent good person, like you,

godfather!"

Only then would he deny that he mistook his mommy, bullied his mommy, and even bullied his godmother's William, who was his daddy!

The stupid jerk, Wei, darkened his face.

Rosalie didn't speak, but silently gave her son a thumbs up in her heart.

Mel coughed violently, covering up his embarrassment.

Hedy raised an eyebrow.

Preston pondered for a moment, nodded seriously, and handed a black card to Tan,

"Well said, this is a meeting gift from your godfather."

"Thank you, godfather!" Ian laughed, showing his big white teeth, and graciously

accepted.

"It's okay." Preston said affectionately, patting Ian's head and looking at William with sincerity in his eyes.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"For the sake of our brotherhood, I raised your son. You don't need to thank me. After all, he would rather acknowledge me than you."

William: "............

Don't think I didn't know you were badmouthing me!!

William was breathing heavily, feeling both angry and wronged, both self-blaming

and excited, with a hint of gratitude.

Losing temper could cost friendships.

The son felt wronged and didn't recognize himself.

Felt guilty for not taking good care of Xiao Xiao, Ian, and Annie.

With all the excitement past, he could see the real Rosalie again, and his seven-year-

old son. Even his daughter Annie had started to speak.

Appreciated the help from friends and Hedy for Rosalie and lan.

"Xiaoxiao." Mel let out a breath, his wrinkled face softening considerably, "Since everything has been settled, come back to the castle with us."

Rosalie stood up, her tone calm, "I'm not going back."

"Xiao Xiao..." William's heart rose again.

Mel frowned, "Xiaoxiao, Annie has been without a mother for so many years, and lan

has been without a father for so many years. Can you bear not to let them reunite?"

"And you... you couldn't even afford your own medical expenses, what kind of hard

life would the children have if they followed you?"

This remark hit a soft spot for Rosalic.

She hoped that her daughter, ITedy, could grow up safely, happily, healthily, and

prosperously.

"There's no need for General Meir to worry," ITedy spoke up, "Preston and I are the godparents of the children, capable of providing them with the best education in the

world."

William and Rosalie could sign a contract that allowed both parties to have the right.

to visit the children. The children could also choose whether to visit their father or mother on their own this weekend.

This plan was the best choice, whether for the growth of the child or for the situation the parents.

Better than severing kindness and righteousness, was the heart-wrenching argument.

"I agree." Rosalie nodded, feeling even more grateful to Hedy in her heart.

"I agree too, but I will pay the child support," William said to Hedy. "Thank you for your and Preston's help with Xiao Xiao and lan, but this money, it

should be taken by me."

"Alright." Preston didn't dwell too much on this point.

The matter of truth and falsehood, however small, came to a conclusion at this point.

Mel was also about to return to the army. Before leaving, she said a word to Hedy in

private:

"You should not have lived such a life."

Hedy frowned slightly, "What kind of life should I have led?"

Mel: "You are suited for a broader world, because you are an eagle in the sky, not a sparrow in a cage."
