Chapter 797 Figure Out a Way to Silence Him

Draco frowned, contemplating how to further subdue Evan.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Draco’s voice thundered, “Come in and speak!”

The door creaked open, and a bodyguard entered, announcing, “Sir, Ms. Love is back.”

Draco’s face darkened, “Just her?”

The bodyguard nodded. “Yes.”

“Bring her here,” Draco ordered.

“Understood, sir,” the bodyguard replied before leaving.

As the bodyguard departed, Draco gazed at Evan sternly. “Get out of here!”

Evan rose slowly, looked at Draco, and left the room.

As Evan walked through the house, he crossed paths with Daniella, who was following the bodyguard into

the living room. Their eyes locked, and Daniella beseeched him with a pleading glance.

Evan glanced back at her and whispered, “Do what you must to escape this place.”

Daniella clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and followed the bodyguard calmly into the study.

After Daniella entered, the bodyguard closed the door behind her. In the study, she met Draco’s cold, rage-

filled gaze.

“Why are you the only one who returned? Where’s Bernard?” Draco inquired.

Daniella bit her lower lip and feigned panic, lowering her head. “We were intercepted by Neil’s associates.

on our way there.”

“Neil’s associates? How did they suddenly intercept your car? Did you leak my plan to him?” Draco’s eyes

widened in surprise.

Daniella vigorously shook her head. “I didn’t! How could I leak anything when you have my phone?”

Although Draco remained skeptical, he couldn’t discern any deceit in Daniella’s expression. “Where’s

Bernard?” he pressed.

Daniella replied, “I don’t know. They blindfolded me, and we were constantly changing locations. When

Draco sneered. “You’ve attempted to scheme against Caroline multiple times. Why would Neil, Caroline’s

brother, let you go so easily?”

Indignant, Daniella retorted, “How can I answer that? I don’t know what you’ve done to the Xanders, who

took Bernard! They must have a reason!”

Draco barked, “Nonsense!”

“Am I wrong? Provide me with a reason for Bernard’s capture, then! Stop pinning everything on me!”

Daniella’s agitation grew.

“Leave!” Draco pointed toward the door.

Daniella left the study without hesitation, and the bodyguard promptly closed the door.

Draco slumped back into his chair. Now that Bernard had been taken, he couldn’t be certain of Bernard’s

loyalty.

“If Bernard reveals anything, I’ll eliminate him first, Draco swore silently.

“Lance!” Draco bellowed.

Lance entered the room, bowing respectfully. “Yes, sir?”

Draco commanded, “Arrange for surveillance on Neil. If he discovers something, locate Bernard

immediately and ensure his silence.”

Lance hesitated. “Sir, Bernard has always been loyal to you. He won’t betray you.”

Draco said, “After all these years, who knows if an old man like him might change his mind? I won’t

tolerate any potential threats.”

Lance contemplated briefly. “Sir, do you think you’re being overly cautious? It’s been over 20 years since

that incident, and all the surveillance footage has been destroyed. Even if Bernard were to reveal

anything, there’s no evidence.”

“A witness‘ testimony can still disrupt my plans! I should have eliminated Hugh’s children when I killed him all those years ago! They’ve

become a significant liability now,” Draco muttered impatiently.
