Chapter 254
Susan was sitting in her room. The lights were half dark, and the curtains were pulled up tightly. She pulled open a locked drawer, in which there were several broken or old mobile phones. One of the second-hand mobile phones was bought from the second-hand market by her recently. The mobile phone card was with a black card, which was opened by someone else's ID card.
After gathering the money at noon today, the phone had been turned off. Susan did not dare to turn on the phone at home. She was afraid that there would be countless missed calls, so she had to read the text message.
The only thing she could contact with that person was this phone. The current situation was not optimistic. Judging from Edward's tough attitude, she was afraid that he would vent his anger on Nelissa. It was better for her to keep less contact with that person.
First of all, she had already paid, and the cooperation was over.
Secondly, the other party failed to complete the task and failed.
Third, what worried her most at the moment was that she would be implicated. If the man was really arrested by the police, it was very likely that he would be confessed to her.
Susan wanted to kill Nelissa. At this moment, this unknown thought became more and more intense in the dark night. As long as Nelissa died, she could rest assured.
If Qi Chuying really wanted to wake up, she would be abandoned sooner or later. After leaving the Quest family, she would have nothing. If she fell from a high place, her ending could be imagined. But if she didn't have Nelissa, both Qi Chuying and Zayden would need her.
This was a very simple choice. She could even ignore her moral conscience and kill Nelissa. Only in this way could she have her own world.
Fortunately, the person she was looking for was a white-skinned prostitute. Usually, when she was addicted to drugs, she would have mental problems, which was basically no different from mental illness. Even if this person was caught by the police and confessed to her, the evidence of this kind of person was not convincing enough. As long as she found a good lawyer to defend her, at worst, she would have a long-term lawsuit. It would be very difficult for her to be accused of this crime.
This was her worst plan.
After all, if that was the case, Edward would definitely target her. She was worried that he would seek revenge in private. There was also Zayden...
Susan shivered and panicked. She blamed the man for his failure and Nelissa's bad luck. How could the car not hit her?
It was past 12 o'clock in the morning, and the servants downstairs also rested at this time.
Susan picked up the cup on the corner of the table, left the room, and went downstairs to pour water. In the dark living room, except for her, there was no one else. She took advantage of the darkness and did not turn on the light. She put down the glass in front of the TV, bent down and pulled open the drawer under the TV. The rows of black ornaments were neatly arranged.
Susan counted and searched again and again, except for the missing part of today's video. She had clearly seen the servants put it in when she had dinner just now. How could it be gone? Who took it away? Zayden?
Susan's face changed slightly, and her heart sank. "What is Zayden going to do with this test paper?"
He was already suspicious just now!
Susan felt very bad. She didn't kill Nelissa, but provoked Edward and Zayden! Neither of these two men could fool the past easily. Once this matter was not handled properly, she would get into trouble at any time!
Two days later, Edward attended Old Mr. Hales's 80th birthday party. The birthday party was held in a luxurious courtyard-style mansion. This year's banquet was much more grand and festive than the previous years. All the descendants of the Hales family wanted to celebrate Old Mr. Hales.

This year, the old man stayed in the hospital for a few months and was in low spirits. He was not as strong as before, but he was in a good mood tonight. There were many guests, most of whom were old acquaintances of Mikaelson, and most of them were officials and nobles. It was lively and liked by the old family.
Both Sean and his father Ryan came, except for the eldest daughter, Sophie. Mikaelson didn't know about the long-distance trip and thought of other things. He saw his grandson, Edward, at one place. Someone was talking to him. It was a young woman.
Edward smiled lazily, lowered his eyes, and shook the red wine in the glass with his noble hands. He had been dealing with the whole process casually. After a few words, he made an excuse and left. He had always kept a distance from women, neither cold nor intimate. His thin lips curved from beginning to end.
Some women called it sexy.
Mikaelson walked over with a cane, and it was convenient for them to talk. "I thought you would come to see me with Nelissa tonight."
According to Mikaelson's understanding of his grandson, he had always been the most bold. He dared to do whatever others did not dare to do. He would do it in the most direct way. He knew how to make use of the advantages of the occasion to do his own things and could do it very well.
Edward replied with a smile, "I really want to bring her here." He then said in a low voice, "But she's currently hospitalized and it's not convenient for her to be discharged." Mikaelson frowned. "In the hospital? Why?"
"It's a long story." Edward didn't want to mention the details. Nelissa could get out of bed by herself today. Although she had arranged bodyguards to watch over her, he was still not at ease. He really wanted to tie her up with him all the time, and it was best to never be separated. He said, "She's fine now, but she can't be discharged from the hospital. Today is your birthday. She asked me to buy you a gift. It's a calligraphy and painting. I picked it. After I go back, I'll ask someone to hang it in your study."
Mikaelson laughed and said, "Well, you don't even allow me to refuse. You are getting more and more arrogant."
Edward didn't say anything but just smiled.
Mikaelson raised his chin and said, "The girl named Lin Cheng has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. I feel warm and unrestrained for her. Is she interested in you?"
Edward didn't take it seriously and didn't even look at Lin Chengcheng. "There are so many women who are interested in me. If you are willing, there will still be many young girls who are interested in you."
Mikaelson smiled again. "Boy, you don't have to talk about me. You always avoid the key points. You see that I'm old and I'm easily led by you, right?"
Edward lowered his voice. "I wouldn't dare."
Mikaelson saw that his grandson was still very respectful to him, so he nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Lin Cheng, who was not far away. The girl smiled and nodded at him, and her eyes fell on Edward. It was obvious that she was in love with him.
However, Mikaelson saw it clearly. There was no trace of emotion in Edward's eyes, and even no emotion. He was afraid that it was a wishful thinking.
At this time, Andrew came to find Edward and said a few words to him. Edward suddenly frowned.
Chen Li came uninvited. They didn't invite Chen Li. Tonight, Lin Xue and Lin Cheng and their daughter had arrived. The relationship between Lin Xue and Ryan was very close. Chen Li came here at this time to make trouble.
