Chapter 208
Charles know Emily’s personality well. No matter how big or small the isso, the would never tell him, just so he wouldn’t worry.
But Charles didn’t know Austin. He had no idea if Austin was telling the truth.
Noticing Charles’s doubts, Austin replied unhuniedly, “You’ve got so many people watching out for Emily. If something really happened to her, there’s no way she could hide it from you, right?”
To look into Bob’s car accident, Charles had assigned nearly all his people to Emily, partly to help her investigate, and partly just to keep her safe.
Austin was well aware of this. He didn’t show up at the hospital yesterday because he was busy making sure everything was set up, and nobody would end op spilling something on Charles.
Charles had no idea what Austin had been up to, but he was surprised. “How do you know I gave Emily some of my people?”
This was something even the rest of the Bennett Family didn’t know.
Austin smiled and handed him a cup of water he’d just poured, “Emily doesn’t try to hide things from me, so of course, I know.”
it Emily didn’t want him to know something, Austin wouldn’t go snooping around
When Austin said he’d always stand by her side, he never meant prying into her secrets or forcing his way into her private life.
Austin knew all too well how awful it felt when someone pried into one’s privacy and secrets, leaving one with nowhere to hide.
Charles underbod exactly what Austin was getting at. The more time he spent with Austin, the more he found himself admiring Austin.
But that admiration was based on one thing as long as Austin, who was obviously anything but simple, wasn’t getting close to Emily for the wrong
reasons.
Charles studied Austin for a moment, his expression calm as ever. He took a sip of water, then picked up the conversation,
When it was about time, Austin figured he should head out.
Charles didn’t try to keep him. Instead, he told Austin to drop by and chat again sometime, not bothering to hide how much he admired and liked the
young man.
But if it involved Emily, just läking him wasn’t enough.
So, as Austin was about to leave, Charles suddenly said, “Next time you want to visit, just come by yourself. No need to bring Emily along”
Charles know Austin was sharp enough to get what he was really saying
Austin stopped in his tracks. Of course, he understood what Charles meant.
But Austin was never the type to let anyone else call the shots when it came to what he wanted to do. So he just let a faint smile tug at his lips, bothering to turn around.
As Austin disappeared through the doorway, the sphile Charles had been wearing finally faded from his face.
He turned to the bodyguard at his side. “Look indo Austin. And while you’re at it, find out what’s really going on with Emily”
Meanwhile, as Austin stepped out of the hospital room, he was about to leave when he suddenly sensed something off, He snapped his head to the side,
In the corner, he spotted a man sitting on a chair, wearing a mask and a baseball cap. The guy hurriedly ducked his head, yanking his cap down to

completely cover his lace.
He pretended to be busy scrolling through his phone, but everything about him screamed he was desperate to vanish into thin air,
Something clicked for Austin, and he glanced back toward Charles’s hospital room.
Charles collapsed at his birthday party and was rushed to the hospital. With his status, there’d be plenty of eyes watching his every move
That guy in the baseball cap was most likely planted by one of the Bennell Family’s enemies.
Charles’s hospital room always had two bodyguards on duty, and even the doctors and nurses were all handpicked. Even if someone were watching, nobody would dare make a move on him.
Thinking of this, Austin didn’t bother paying any
any attention to the strange man.
Emily’s troubles still weren’t over. He needed to start working on a plan to get her out as soon as possible.
