In the study on the second floor, the Gu Family.
Nacho held his chin, looked at Paul and said coldly, "Do you find anything?"
"Yes, three man died on the spot. I have communicated with the police. Joanna acted in self-defense, and the court will not sue her. As for the identities of those men, they were just gangsters."
"Are there no other people except those dead men?" Nacho knocked on the table, looked at Paul and asked again.
"According to the analysis, there seems to be someone else. Perhaps we have made a mistake."
"There are two wheels grooves on the ground."
"So there should be two cars?" Nacho narrowed his eyes and said to Paul.
"Yes, I suspect that there should be other people except for those dead men. Cheryl once said that she was attacked by those men, but she only had some small wounds on her body."
Paul felt strange. Since those gangsters wanted to rape Joanna, it was impossible for them to let Cheryl go, because Cheryl was also a woman. Cheryl said that several men caught her and wanted to rape her, while Joanna was pulled to the wooden house.
Then Cheryl ran away smartly and wanted to go back to save Joanna. Unexpectedly, she saw Joanna coming out of the wooden house with blood all over her body.
But those men who wanted to rape Cheryl disappeared. Did they escape in fear because they saw Cedric and Nacho?
"Continue to investigate and keep an eye on Cheryl."
"Are you suspecting Cheryl?" Paul had worked for Nacho for a long time, so he knew what Nacho was thinking.
"She is suspicious, so is Angelo." Nacho paid much attention to Angelo.
In this world, there were very few people who looked the same, especially those who didn't have any blood relationship.
Earl's face arouse Nacho's suspicion.
"We have investigated Arvin's family background. When he was very young, his parents died. He had no other brother or sister, so Angelo could not be Arvin's brother."
"Send someone to follow him. Tell me if you get any information."
Nacho knocked on the table with his fingers gentlyand said in a cold voice.
"Okay."
"Ah!"
"Joanna!" In the middle of the night, Joanna was awakened by a nightmare and screamed. Cedric, who was next to Joanna, immediately opened his eyes when he heard her scream. When he opened his eyes, he saw Joanna's anxious and scared expression. She held her head with dishevelled hair and her whole body was trembling.
Looking at Joanna's frightened face, Cedric felt so painful in his heart.
He reached out his hand and gently held her trembling body tightly.
"Joanna, I'm here. Don't be afraid."
"Cedric..." When Joanna smelled Cedric's pleasant smell, her trembling body gradually relaxed.
Seeing that Joanna gradually relaxed, Cedric gently touched her head and said, "It's okay. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
Joanna's eyes were filled with tears. Under the dim light, she looked at Cedric's handsome face and said.
"I... am really scared."
Hearing this, Cedric nodded gently and said, "I know. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will stay here with you." He smiled and said gently to Joanna.
Then Cedric kissed Joanna's lips softly, as if he was using his own temperature to calm down her uneasiness.
Joanna gradually calmed down.
She raised her head and looked at Cedric with tears in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will hurt you." Cedric patted Joanna and kept comforting her.
The wind blowed in and touched Joanna's face gently.
Joanna held Cedric's waist tightly and buried her face in his chest.
She was not afraid at all, because she had Cedric by her side...
The next day, Joanna was in a better spirit. Cedric stopped Joanna's work and wanted her to have a good rest.
In order to look after Joanna, he even worked in the villa. Unless there was something very important, he would not leave the villa.
Knowing that Joanna had an accident, Earl came to see Joanna with a fruit basket.
Joanna looked at Earl with a pale face, forced a smile and said that she was fine.
"No, your face is so pale." Earl looked at Joanna's pale face with distress and said frustratedly.
Hearing it, Joanna didn't say anything. Although Cedric had been comforting her last night, she still felt uneasy.
Joanna looked at Earl in a trance. Looking at Joanna like this, Earl sighed, "How about moving to my house? I can take care of you."
"You want to see him." Cedric said as he stared at Joanna's face with keen eyes.
Hearing this, Joanna pursed her lips and said, "Yes... I really want to see Arvin."
Joanna felt the guiltiest for Arvin. Arvin was her pain in heart.
"I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare the car." Looking at Joanna's painful expression, Cedric felt a little uncomfortable, but he held back his sadness.
Looking at Cedric's back, Joanna's eyes were filled with tears.
Cedric had really changed. He was no longer cold and wilful. He had learnt how to respect Joanna, which made Joanna feel warm in her heart.
At 10:30 a.m., Cedric asked his assistant to prepare a bouquet of flowers and then took Joanna to Arvin's cemetery. It was quiet and cold in the cemetery. Every time Joanna went to the cemetery, she felt very depressed.
"Stay here. I'll go to see my parents and uncle." Cedric knew that Joanna didn't want him to be present when she stayed with Arvin, so he chose to respect her and gave her the freedom she wanted.
Joanna watched Cedric leave, then she squatted down and stared at Arvin's photo in a daze.
She hadn't thought of Arvin for a long time. When she thought of Arvin who was gentle and polite, she felt so sad.
She almost couldn't remember Arvin's face and voice clearly, which made her feel very guilty.
"Arvin, are you angry?" Joanna sat aside and muttered.
A gust of wind blew past Joanna and blew her hair.
While Joanna was talking with Arvin, she didn't notice that there was a man hiding in a place not far from the cemetery. He stood there, bit his lips and stared at Joanna.
Earl came to see Arvin, but he didn't expect that he would meet Joanna and Cedric so coincidentally.
Seeing the two of them, Earl did not come out immediately. He hid aside and looked coldly at Joanna's guilty look.
"If you miss him in the future, you can come to see him." Cedric walked to Joan, squatted down, looked into Joanna's eyes and said.
Joanna's heart suddenly trembled when she heard that. She looked at Cedric and couldn't believe what he said. "Joanna, as I said, I will give you absolute freedom and respect. I want to be a man you love."
Cedric reached out his hand, gently touch Joanna's face and said softly.
"Thank you." Cedric was a noble and arrogant man, but he was willing to change himself for Joanna.
Joanna was really moved when she heard what Cedric said.
