Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Sean comforted Eli, but her voice was still trembling and her eyes were red.

Eli had a strange feeling in her heart. She looked at Sean and said, “I think that I got really lucky. The snakes didn’t hurt me while I was playing the game, because they already went under my blanket by the time I noticed them.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I bet the person wanted to make it look as though you died in an accident. I don’t believe that there would be snakes in the President’s Mansion, especially venomous ones,” Sean said firmly.

Eli was still feeling scared when she thought about it.

She just realized that she was shivering because she was wearing only a thin layer of clothes.

Sean was too worried about her before this to realize it. When he finally noticed that Eli was feeling cold, he took off his windbreaker and put it on her. After that, he said to her, “Let’s get in the car, it’s warmer in there. I don’t want you to get sick.”

Eli grabbed his sleeve and said, “I don’t want to go back. There are snakes in there.”

“Let’s get into the car first,” Sean said to her as he opened the car door of the passenger seat.

Sean sat in the driver’s seat as Colonel Cher had already gone to the villa. He turned on the heater for Eli so that she would feel warmer.

Yvonne also got into the car, but it seemed as though a lot of thoughts were going through her mind.

Sean stared ahead coldly as he asked Yvonne, “Yvonne, what do you think we should do if this was a planned murder?”

Yvonne’s heart skipped a beat, then she answered, “I think that the person just wanted to give Eli a warning. I don’t think that they really wanted to kill her. They wouldn’t have used such a method if they really wanted to kill Eli.”

“Who do you think did it then? What kind of warning is this?” Sean continued to ask, his tone getting more serious.

Yvonne remained silent and said nothing.

Eli noticed that something was off, hence, she turned her head to Yvonne and asked, “Was it you?”

“Of course not. I’m happy to have you in the President Mansion. Why would I scare you away by using this kind of trick?” Yvonne immediately denied.

“So, is it Natasha then?” Eli frowned and made another guess.

“I am not sure about that and I don’t want to guess without any proof,” Yvonne answered with a face filled with embarrassment. She looked like she was thinking about something else, which made her look charming.

Eli didn’t want Yvonne to feel embarrassed, so she decided to stop asking. She said to Sean, “I saw Natasha running out of her room saying that her room also had snakes when I was in the kitchen. However, I saw that there was a snake in her pocket when she was running toward me.”

Yvonne became even more worried.

“Sean, Rebecca is my younger sister. I will take responsibility for her if she has done a mistake because I didn’t educate her properly as her sister. If you must put someone into the snake den as punishment, I will do it for her. I apologize on her behalf because she has been spoilt by our parents,” Yvonne said while sobbing.

Sean didn’t start driving. Instead, he continued looking ahead and said, “Yvonne, I hope that you would not blame me. This is not a game. I must keep my promise because I have already given out the order.”

“I know and I won’t blame you. It’s my choice, and I am willing to bear the consequences,” her eyes turned red and tears started to roll down from her cheeks.

Eli wanted to let her go, but she felt that it was unfair once she thought of the snakes. She was lucky enough to be able to escape from them, else she would have been dead in Sean’s room.

Sean remained silent for three seconds and said, “Why are you doing this to me? What would people think if I were to put you into the snake den when you are not the culprit? Everyone would say that you are a loving sister because you took the punishment for your sister, but what about me? I would become a cruel dictator in everyone’s eyes. Besides, it wasn’t your fault from the very beginning, so I won’t let you take the blame.”

“But Rebecca is my mother’s favorite child. They will hate you if you do this to her,” Yvonne reminded Sean.

“Are you not your mother’s favorite child then?” Sean glanced at her and continued, “No one is above the law. The person should have thought about the consequences before setting up the trap. Anyway, I don’t think that your sister was the one who had let the snakes out.”

“What? Who else could it be if it wasn’t Rebecca?” Yvonne felt hopeful again.

Sean gave out an evil smile and said, “Natasha Griswell.”

Yvonne’s eyes turned gloomy all of a sudden. She furrowed her brows and spoke, “Didn’t you already warn her yesterday? How could it be her again?”

“That is why I can’t keep her in the President’s Mansion anymore,” Sean said firmly and started driving.

There was a complicated look in Yvonne’s eyes.

She had been by Sean’s side for three years and never once had he made the wrong judgment.

“Sean, I am sure that you know Natasha is the third daughter of the Griswell family. Although the Griswell family’s status is not as well-known as our Harington family, they are still considered to have a strong influence in M Country. Natasha’s parents had high expectations for her when she followed me here to A Country. I am worried that her parents would not spare you and start making things difficult for the Harington family.”

“So?” Sean replied as though he didn’t care at all.

“If the Harington family doesn’t give a reasonable explanation to this matter, they will surely bring this case to the President. Although the President is my uncle, now that the Harington family is in conflict with the Mccarthy family, they would surely make use of this issue to criticize us. Nonetheless, I am sure that the Griswell family will be on the Mccarthy family’s side, and the influence of the Harington family will be greatly reduced. How could we assist you when we are not that great ourselves? It’s all connected. I hope that you would think twice before you act,” Yvonne explained to Sean anxiously.

Sean stepped on the brakes.

Eli’s heart quenched a little.

She didn’t know much about politics, but she understood what Yvonne had just said. They were all in a complicated network of relationships, and a single wrong move will cause a big ripple effect.

It seemed that her matter will not be regarded seriously.

She was disappointed, because to Sean, she was less important than politics.

She swore that she must beware of Natasha in the future, else she would already be dead before she could take revenge.

Sean held Eli’s hand tightly as though he was reassuring her.

Eli looked at Sean in confusion. At that moment, Sean saw the disappointment in her eyes.

He didn’t want to disappoint her anymore.

He blamed himself every day after she left. If he loved and doted her more, would she be reluctant to leave him then?

He turned around, looked at Yvonne coldly, and said, “That’s why you mustn’t let the news of Natasha reach M Country. I’m sure that you could understand my decision, Yvonne.”

“What?” Yvonne was not sure what to do anymore. She was frightened by Sean’s expression.

“Her life is important, but Eli’s life is more precious to me. So, I will make her pay for what she has done,” Sean said firmly.

Eli’s heart was trembling. She felt as though she had just gotten struck by lightning. Her mind went blank for a few seconds…
