Chapter 234

"Tell me, Quintus. If the Maxwells wanted to kill Felicia twenty years ago, would she be in grave danger now if

they found her?"

Quintus shook his head slowly and said, "Mr. White, Ms. Cylon won't be in danger. If they intended to harm her,

they would have done so in the hospital instead of taking her away. According to the doctors, Ms. Cylon seemed

overjoyed when she was taken. Although they erased the surveillance footage, | believe they intended to bring

her back hrather than harm her."

That was reassuring. As long as Felicia remained alive, we would see each other again.

| believed that day would csooner rather than later. She lovedas much as | loved her-perhaps even

more.

For now, the saga ended here. However, it would be incredibly difficult to see Felicia again. | could do nothing but

await her return. That being said, | wasn't going to sit idly by.

From that day onwards, | began compiling information about the Maxwell family. The more | discovered, the more

concerned | became. This family had an extensive history, with connections to leaders of various nations.

The reason they erased their intepresence was likely due to their involvement in geopolitical conflicts. Their

industries operated in gray areas, and many would take pleasure in ending their bloodline.

In terms of power, the White family couldn't hold a candle to the Maxwells.

One day, | headed to the library after class. The day before, | had discovered an ancient book in the library that

chronicled the histories of prestigious families.

While | found nothing about the Maxwells, | did cacross the Kiltane family, who bore a striking resemblance

to them. The Kiltanes had a strong presence in the Murca region 800 years ago. Although they had relocated 300

years ago, they maintained their biological heritage.

Intrigued, | was eager to learn more.

While | was halfway to the library, someone blocked my path. It was Crystal.

"What do you want now?"

Seeing her was always a downer.

She said pitifully, "William, what's wrong with me? Why do you loathe me? It's not like | made Felicia disappear.

Were you expectingto stay silent while that boy was getting beaten up? Did | do anything wrong?"

| had no rebuttal. She hadn't done anything wrong.

In hindsight, she was technically a victim as well.

She hadn't asked Maximus to stalk her, nor had she directed him to beat the boy up. She posed no direct threat

to Felicia either.

Yet, seeing her always annoyed me."It's not your fault, but | don't want to have anything to do with you anymore.

Please, don't show up in front ofagain."

| didn't even bother glancing at her as | strode forward.

After a moment, she chased after me. Tears sparkled in her eyes as she said, "But you know I like you!"

| shot back resignedly, "And you know | don't like you!"

"I don't care whether you likeor not. | like you, and | want to see you more often-to spend more twith

you. William, let's start over as friends. | won't do anything extreme. | won't even try to kiss you. | just want to

stay by your side. Please, I'm begging you!"
