Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 973 - 973 Edward Hernandezs Background 2

Chapter 973: Edward Hernandez’s Background 2 Chapter 973: Edward Hernandez’s Background 2 Edward Hernandez received every mission through a text message, a phone call, or an email.

He had to obey their commands because his body was under their control. As to who drugged him and when, he had no idea. Not even the specific type of drug residues left in his body were known to him, and they could not be detected. However, when the time limit came, if he did not receive the drug they sent, he would be in agony, wishing for immediate death.

As the son of Southea Country’s richest man, in addition to following their plans, he also had to provide them with vast amounts of funding. Of course, with some of their information being leaked, his family’s business earnings increased, they ventured further, and the scope of their investments widened. At the same time, the dangers they faced became much greater.

He had been curious before, but it felt as though he was under surveillance, absolutely unable to obtain any news.

“Victoria, I don’t know who the other party is, nor do I know what kind of plans they have made. What they are scheming against Arnold Johnson, I have no idea about that either. My mission is to provide them with a financial chain and to pursue and woo you. But what I didn’t expect was that this mission would be such a failure, because not only did I fail to win you over, but I also fell deeply into it, unable to extricate myself,” Edward Hernandez said, eventually calming down, because he had accepted his feelings for her, realizing there was no way back on this road.

Victoria Garcia knew what was on his mind, yet…

“Every time you were in danger, I was able to appear before you in time because I was given instructions from above to save you. As for why they want to protect your life, I guess it’s to keep you around to use against Arnold Johnson. However, what I don’t understand is, if they want to use you against Arnold Johnson, they could abduct you in minutes and threaten him—no need for such roundabout methods.”

Indeed, what is the rationale behind these actions?

What exactly is the other party aiming for?

Even Edward Hernandez, caught in the middle, had no idea, so Victoria Garcia naturally couldn’t guess it either.

“Paul, you should leave as soon as possible,” Victoria Garcia said, viewing Edward Hernandez’s actions as a betrayal. She suspected that the people above would not let him off, and while there was still time, she hoped he would extricate himself.

Edward Hernandez naturally understood this reasoning as well.

However, leaving alone didn’t mean much to him at this point since he was already deeply entrapped. Escaping was not going to be an easy feat.

“Aren’t you afraid of the danger by staying here? If we’re leaving, it should be together,” Edward Hernandez stated clearly. As long as Arnold Johnson was around, Victoria Garcia wouldn’t be able to escape danger.

The people above wouldn’t act like the Johnson Family with petty squabbles; their strikes would be lethal.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Victoria Garcia replied resolutely.

“Don’t you want to protect the child in your womb?” Edward Hernandez questioned her, using the child as leverage.

The child? Of course, she wanted to protect it.

But would leaving guarantee its safety? Victoria Garcia, in her heart, didn’t believe so.

“Paul, if the people above you are after me, then leaving with you would undoubtedly put you in greater danger. No one knows what might happen then, and we are both aware of how great the risk is,” she said.

“No matter how great the danger, I will protect you and the child. I swear on my life,” Edward Hernandez said, looking at her earnestly.

Swearing on his life was too heavy a promise for Victoria Garcia to bear!
