Chapter 258
Cecilia looked at Jeffrey, who seemed to have accepted his fate, but she did not believe anything he
said. She never expected a demon to have a day of resignation.
The current compromise and acceptance were nothing but acting, a way to deceive and numb them.
Although she saw through it, she did not expose Jeffrey. After all, that fool could not stir up any trouble!
“It’s good that you know the power of the Shaw family. Otherwise, you’d only be asking for trouble.”
Jeffrey looked at Cecilia with a serious expression, his gaze exceptionally sincere.
“If you let me see Hayden, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Aiden was not in a hurry to learn the secret of Wolf Killer because even if he forced Jeffrey to speak,
what the latter would say might not necessarily be the truth.
It was better for the latter and Hayden to meet and have a confrontation.
“You’ll meet Hayden tomorrow, but he won’t let you off easily. Be prepared mentally.”
With that, Aiden left the laboratory with Cecilia.
As for Jeffrey’s request for a meal, he completely ignored it.
After leaving the laboratory, Cecilia whispered, “Aiden, are we going to meet Hayden now?”
Meeting Hayden first was more advantageous than letting him meet Jeffrey first.
Aiden shook his head. “Let’s leave Hayden hanging for now. We’re going home.”
“Go home? I have to stay and take care of Grandma Elaine tonight.”
“Grandma has professional nurses taking care of her. You’re not needed. There are important matters
at home.”
Cecilia wanted to get a clear answer, but Aiden left ahead of her. She had no choice but to follow.
After getting into the car, she finally asked, “Aiden, did something happen at home? Is it about
Charlie?”
Only Christopher was at the Shaw residence right now, so he couldn’t be in trouble.
Aiden looked at the bustling streets outside the car window and said, “Your stand–in has arrived. Don’t
you want to assess her abilities in person?”
Cecilia had not forgotten about that matter but did not know the exact time the stand–in would arrive.
“This is indeed an important matter. If the stand–in is qualified, we can proceed with our next plan.”
“Yes, the plan is better executed sooner rather than later. Waiting too long can lead to unexpected
complications.”
Not long after, the car stopped at the Shaw residence.
One–third of the military forces stationed outside the Shaw residence were resting, while another one– Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
third were patrolling nearby, and the remaining one–third were guarding outside the yard.
The brother and sister duo were already accustomed to that setup. After getting out of the car, they
entered the Shaw residence.
The two proceeded straight to the main hall.
Cecilia’s stand–in was sitting on the couch in the main hall.
She sat with her back straight, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, and her gaze was fixed forward.
Hearing the footsteps, she immediately shifted her gaze toward the door..
When Aiden appeared in her field of vision, she immediately put down the cup, stood up, and saluted.
Commander, Freya reporting for duty!”
Aiden had resumed his indifferent expression and nodded slightly at Freya. “Please, have a seat.”
Freya obediently took her seat.
Freya’s gaze quickly flickered across Cecilia’s face, and a hint of surprise appeared in Freya’s eyes.
Cecilia was also examining Freya. However, Cecilia’s gaze was broad, sizing Freyal
Cecilia had seen photos of Freya long ago, knowing Freya looked similar to herself but seemed
different in person,
Sit should be said that Freya looked even more like Cecilia in person than in the photos. Their faces were at least 50 percent
