J-osh was driving while waiting for a traffic light. His serene eyes were fixated on the road ahead, but his mind was still in a mess. His handsome face was gloomy and his beautiful lips were pursed into a thin line.

He thought about it carefully. In this sensitive period, would he really be at ease leaving Elizabeth alone at home?

The more Josh thought about it, the more he realized that he had done wrong. Thus, he turned around and headed straight back home.

When he rode on the elevator to the door of the penthouse, he frowned and used his fingerprint to unlock the door. When the door opened, Josh walked straight towards the direction of his bedroom.

He thought that since Elizabeth said she was tired, she would definitely be laying on the bed and resting right now.

However, after he entered, his expression sank as he looked at the empty bedroom. This woman was indeed deceiving him, right?

Where did she go?

Josh's face changed. He wanted to use his phone to call her, but he realized that his other hand was still holding her phone.

She did not bring her phone with her as it would be very difficult to find her.

"Damn it!" She really didn't expect this woman to be so cunning. She actually lied to him. This was truly annoying.

Josh quickly ran out the door and in that moment, he did not know where he should go.

However, he was not certain that Elizabeth was hiding something from him. Maybe she was just going downstairs to buy something, Josh panicked out of nowhere, she anxiously put on a mask, then quickly went down to the supermarket. She walked around the place but did not discover Elizabeth's figure, causing his heart to become anxious.

Where did this woman go?

Josh really wanted to smash the phone in his hand.

However, he suppressed his anger and opened the screen of his phone. He browsed casually and found that the woman's phone didn't have any useful information. Most of it were announcements and there were also some photos she took previously.

Josh had already searched through her phone. He secretly checked her phone because he was afraid that she would have an affair with another man, but he never thought that her phone was extremely clear and didn't find any traces of her phone.

Josh impatiently went back home and slammed the door shut.

Should he call his big brother and tell him?

With this thought, Josh's mind froze and he immediately suppressed this thought.

Maybe he could choose to wait. Maybe she would come back later.

Elizabeth sat in the car and headed towards the city center. In her hand, she was tightly holding onto her new phone.

Her mind eyes were empty. She said that she did not know the truth of the matter and that maybe s just daydreaming. She would even naively think that the matter was not serious and would be able to remedy it.

However, at this moment, when her aunt told her the truth, she was completely stupefied.

This matter was far more serious than she had thought. Although her aunt had continuously emphasized that she was the one who brought the bottle of wine over, John Wayne had given it to her.

Maybe when the doctor dissected Leonard Wayne's body, he also found out that there was that kind of medicinal property in his body. However, why didn't the Wayne Family look for trouble with his again? Was it because he was afraid of exposing his power and damaging Wayne Family's reputation?

No matter what, more than ten years had passed. Now that the Wayne Family was suddenly pursuing the matter, it must be because they knew that his father's death was unknown.

Elizabeth's mind was in a mess, she had thought through almost everything, but she was still not the person involved, she was just a spectator. No matter how much she thought and felt that all sorts of reasons were reasonable, what could she do?

When Elizabeth's car arrived at the city center, the sky was already dark. After two hours, she stayed at the farm for a few more hours.

After settling the bill downstairs in the small district, Elizabeth walked towards the small district with her legs weak.

She raised her head and looked at the luxurious house on the top floor. It was pitch black now, as if there were no lights on.

Elizabeth's tense mood instantly relaxed. If there was no light, then it meant that Josh had not come back yet.

With that thought in mind, Elizabeth quickly walked towards the elevator and went upstairs. Elizabeth hurriedly used her fingerprint to open the door and when she went in, she turned on the light. However, when the light went on, her entire body froze and her pair of beautiful eyes widened in shock.

"You... "Are you home?" Elizabeth never thought that Josh would actually be sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Josh did not turn to look at her shocked expression. Instead, he stared at the myriad of lights outside the window.

After being shocked, Elizabeth's mind became even emptier. At the moment, his question made her tremble and she anxiously replied: "Oh, I... I went out to buy a mobile phone!"

Elizabeth said as she took out the new phone from her bag.

Hearing that she had actually bought a new phone, Josh's thin lips curled up coldly: "Why are you buying a new phone? What do you want?"

Elizabeth was both nervous and scared. She explained unwillingly: "I just want a phone, anyways, during this period of time, you have to take my phone."

"You want to buy a new phone and contact your aunt?" Josh suddenly stood up, with his long and slender legs, he walked towards her step by step, looking down from above while locking onto her nervous little face, his voice cold: "What are you doing, carrying me on your back?"

"No...." "It's nothing!" Elizabeth was so anxious that her heart almost jumped out.

"You got in touch with your aunt?" Josh narrowed his eyes and his thin lips became even colder.

"No!" Elizabeth suddenly thought of her last plea. Although she was very angry, but once she thought about how she was really going to be imprisoned, she was extremely scared. Her aunt's life was really going to end.

"You're lying!" The man suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted her chin with his cold, slender fingers, asking her to force her to raise her face.

When Elizabeth saw the anger in his eyes, she was so frightened that her breathing became sluggish.

She didn't know what to do.

On one side was her loved ones and on the other was the person she loved deeply. It seemed that regardless of which side she wanted to help, it was not the answer she wanted.

If she could, she would rather not make any choices.

"I didn't!" Elizabeth bit her lower lip and then, she was so scared that her eyes turned red: "The reason I bought this phone, was actually because I wanted to quickly contact my aunt, but... I just bought my phone back."

Josh saw that her words didn't seem to be true, so he snorted: "If you dare lie to me, I will be very disappointed, understand?"
