After exiting the guest too. She reached her bedroom. Eva spotted Steven struggling to adjust the belt around his arm
Eva reached near him and tried to help him. Stephen let her help after adjusting the belt. Eva got settled near Stephen and asked him,
“Are you upset with me?”
"No..No.. Why should I be angry with you? You just made your choice? And to be fair, I am disappointed by myself I know after this attack you must have had doubts about my capabilities to keep you and our family safe
That’s the reason you had no choice but to do this.”
“No.. I didn’t lose trust in you, so please don’t phrase it that way. Stephen, I know we might have discussed this before, but I wasn’t mentally ready for a debate about it.
Stephen, I yearn for a life of peace. Living in constant fear of losing someone dear is unbearable for me.
I decided based on what I believed was right.
Stephen sighed and told her, “Okay, then, tell me if you need any help. “
“Yes, I do. I didn’t disclose the entire conversation with Liam to family members, but I think you need to know. “
“What is it? Did he threaten you? “ Stephen asked in a rage

“What??? You did what?? And why the hell did you lie to him? We all know that we didn’t even have a clue about the shooter
I know, but I just...
Eva, do you even know who he is? He will get to know about your lie in the flick of a second
“I am sorry... but.. I was just.. “ Eva apologized for her mistake.
“OK, but for now you will stay at home, and don’t worry, I will try to handle Liam."

The shooter already left the city, as you ordered us to do. We are sure that he has already reached another city.
Are you 100% sure? Did you contact him?
Sir, you told us not to contact him, so we didn’t
Then I am ordering again to contact him. And know about his whereabouts. I need to know about his location.
Now leave.
After his men left the cabin, Liam was worried about Eva’s decision. He cannot afford to lose all his wealth like this. For him, all these belong to him and only him. Liam was regretting for not killing era earlier only
She is the sole reason for his misery. The next moment, a phone call from one of the trusted men gets his attention.
He attended the call, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
So little Birdie lied to me. Great, then let’s see who plays the game better. “
That night, when Liam reached home, he found housekeepers lacing some trolley bags in Harry’s car. It surprised him they did not inform him about Harry’s traveling plan until he reached his room, where Harry was busy packing his stuff.
“What’s happening? Ooh, so you are going on a trip. Great. Everyone needs a break. Tell me if you need anything. “ on
“I am not going for any trip; I am leaving this house forever."
