Chapter 220 Trap

He was just a young boy who was half a year older than her.

However, he experienced a life and death situation.

Who was so ruthless and cruel to want to put him to death?

Audrey blinked her sour eyes and looked at his thin and pale face, asking softly, “Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

She reached out her hand and took his pulse.

The next second, the delicate little hand was enveloped in his palm.

He held her tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go!

“I’m fine now,” he said weakly, his voice hoarse.

He held her hand tightly, his cold and handsome face pale, making his eyes appear even darker and deeper, like two whirlpools, as if wanting to deeply absorb her.

“I cooked bone porridge for you in the kitchen, and I went to bring it for you to eat.”

He did not let go of her hand, nor did he respond to her words, he just held onto her tightly.

He had recovered from the fever, with his fingertips slightly cool.

She grasped his slender fingers back and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Sterling looked into Audrey’s eyes, which had darkened slightly. “Ever

since I discovered that I am not Gabriel and Allison’s biological child. someone has been secretly following me.”

“After I had ditched them a few times, they disappeared in Cloud City. Recently, I let my guard down. That night while camping, I drank too much and felt uncomfortable. When I stepped out of the tent to smoke, I didn’t expect them to suddenly attack!”

“There were more than ten of them, and they had guns in their hands!”

He spoke briefly, with a casual tone.

Audrey, however, listened with a pounding heart.

The bullet on his chest was just a few millimeters away from hitting his heart.

He jumped down from such a high cliff again, although he had a zip line in his hands, jumping down with serious injuries was still extremely dangerous!

A slight carelessness could be fatal!

“Who wanted to harm you? Could it be someone from your own parents‘ side?”

Sterling had no memories before the age of fifteen and had no idea who his biological parents were.

But

After the New Year, he was going to represent Elsa Noble High School to participate in the AI Intelligent Robot Competition in Seffolk. Those men in black chose this time to take action, probably not wanting him to go to Seffolk!

Sterling’s thin jawline tightened, and his eyes, covered by long lashes,

grew cold. “I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you should not

interfere!”

Audrey, “The night you had an accident, Chloe also had an accident!”

Sterling raised his deep black eyes and looked at Audrey. His slender eyebrows barely wrinkled as he asked, “What happened to her?”

“Someone impersonated you and molested Chloe! They also pushed her down the slope, causing her to hit her head on the rocks and become a vegetable!”

“Charlie said that night he saw you following Chloe into the woods, and most importantly, Chloe was tightly holding the cufflinks I gave

you!”

Sterling’s face immediately turned cold, and his b*dy emitted a chilling aura that almost froze people.

The slender contour lines were sharp and fierce, covered with a layer of chilling danger.

“Am I that kind of person?” Sterling’s dark eyes gazed deeply at Audrey, his thin l*ps tightly pressed into a straight line beneath his prominent nose. He hoped to see something in her eyes, but all he saw was clarity and trust. He let out a slight sigh of relief.

“I lost a cullink while fighting with those men in black.”

Audrey had already guessed it, and she nodded at him, “That’s exactly what I thought too!”

Sterling elenched his jaw, his facial contours appearing dark and cold as he suppressed some kind of emotion. His voice was low and hoarse as he said, “Those men in black clearly only wanted my life, it’s impossible for them to set up such a trap against me!”

“You said Charlie saw me following Chloe into the woods, so that person must have had a similar physique to mine and deliberately wore the same clothes as me.”

“He should have seen me being chased, my cufflink falling off and him picking it up, him impersonating me to harm Chloe…”

Sterling slightly furrowed his long sword–like eyebrows, seemingly realizing something was amiss. “Why would someone impersonate me to harm Chloe? I don’t even like Chloe.”

Audrey lowered her eyes, instinctively avoiding answering his question.

But the young man, sharp and perceptive, stared into her dark eyes With a hint of dominance, “Is there any other detail that you haven’t

told me?”

Audrey, “Don’t think too much for now, focus on recovering well.”

She hadn’t finished speaking when he started to lift the covers and get out of bed. “I’m going to ask Eden!”

Audrey was afraid that he would force himself out of bed and reopen his wound, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth, “Because Chloe mistakenly wore my coat at night, she slept in the same tent as

That person might have mistaken Chloe for me…”

Upon hearing the words, Sterling’s face turned icy and menacing, as if a layer of chilling frost could be scraped off!

His eyes were filled with dark clouds, and Audrey noticed that something was wrong with his emotions. It seemed like he was about to explode at any moment. She quickly grabbed his hand and tried to calm him down, saying, “You can’t get angry. You need to rest and take it easy right now. Otherwise, not even a god can save you!”

Sterling tightly grasped Audrey’s delicate hand with his other hand, hist hoarse voice almost bursting from the depths of his throat, “Just the thought of you almost ending up like Chloe, I could have torn that person into a thousand pieces!”

“I wouldn’t be bullied, you forgot, I had the ability to protect myself?” Just thinking about Chloe, Audrey felt equally heavy–hearted and sad.

In Sterling’s deep black eyes, terrifying red bloodshot veins appeared. He said grimly, “The only thing we can do now for Chloe is to find. that person!”

Audrey and Sterling had the same idea.

Since it wasn’t done by the black–clad men who were chasing Sterling, then the situation is easier to handle!

“Provoking the snake out of its hole!”

“Provoking the snake out of its hole!”

The two of them spoke in unison.

We exchanged a glance and in each other’s eyes, we saw a faint smile. on the other’s face.

***

The Howard family.

Gabriel and Allison were watching the news on the living room couch.

Sterling became a fugitive.

A few days ago, reporters came to inquire about Sterling’s

whereabouts.

Since Sterling moved out, there has been no contact with the Howard family.

This was exactly what Allison wanted, the farther Sterling was from her home, the better.

“I had already said that Sterling is a jinx. If you keep him at home, sooner or later something will happen!”

“You see, he actually plotted to harm Chloe’s class. He’s truly a beast!”

“In my opinion, he should have been arrested and imprisoned for life!”

“He thought he could escape for a while, could he escape for a lifetime? When he is caught by the police, the charges will be even more severe!”

Allison now mentions Sterling and she gets furious, wishing that he would be immediately arrested by the police and sentenced to death.

Chloe’s affairs caused a lot of commotion, making her the laughingstock of the neighborhood.

Not only that, Chloe’s parents also came to the house and caused trouble twice.

They said if they didn’t hand over Sterling, they would have unfinished business with them!

There were still many outraged citizens and high school students who, upon learning about Chloe’s situation, ran to the Howard family’s doorstep with banners to demonstrate and protest against the company.

Allison came back from work today and was even pelted with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves!

And all of this was thanks to Sterling!
