Chapter 1479
Ian looked at her with a faint hint of contentment flashing across his eyes. “Don’t
worry.”
The two words sounded like some kind of magic spell, and Elaine’s heart calmed down
inexplicably after hearing them.
The higher-ups in the ministry started a strict investigation of Juan. All of Juan’s
personal assets were frozen overnight. And because he was restricted from leaving the
country, even his original plan to go abroad was foiled.
Soon, Juan was placed under criminal detention for further investigation.
Ian went to the detention center to visit Juan. After Juan was taken to the visitation
room by the police, he no longer looked as complacent as he used to but looked a little
downcast and unshaven.
Juan picked up the receiver and gnashed his teeth. “ Ian Saldana, society has taught
you a lot, huh? How dare you betray me, you two-faced f*cker!?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe pursed his lips and smirked. “I’ve always been like this.”
Juan sneered and mocked him. “Sure enough, the son I didn’t raise by my side is cold-
blooded and ruthless to his father. I should have kept an eye on your mother and forced
her to have an abortion back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to come across you now,
you f*cking scourge.”
When it came to his mother, Ian’s expression dimmed.
‘Back then, Mother gave birth to me secretly after learning that Father’s eldest son suffers from a mental illness
only because she was trying to use my identity to dethrone Mrs. Saldana from the Saldanas so that she could take
over the title.
‘As far as I’m concerned, Mother only had me as leverage to obtain wealth and status. All she did after Father
abandoned her was blame me for being so useless.’
“It’s a pity my mother didn’t let things slide.” Ian gave a faint smile and said after a long while, “Father, it’s time for
you to spend the rest of your life in peace and prison.”
Seeing the hint of shock that flashed across Juan’s eyes, Ian hung up the call, got up, and left.
No matter how Juan yelled at him, Ian pretended not to hear him and did not look back at all.
His driver came to pick him up when he left the detention center, and he received a call from Elaine as soon as he
got into the car.
Elaine asked him, “Are you done?”
Ian chuckled. “Yeah, it just ended.”
“My dad asked me to... get you to come home for dinner tonight. So, are you free tonight?”
He agreed, “okay, I’ll go over tonight.”
When the call was over, the driver sneered and inquired, “Mr. Ian, was it Mrs. Saldana?”
People who knew him rarely addressed the woman around him as Mrs. Saldana because they knew the nature of
his job. Even if he was with a woman, she was most probably there because he needed her to complete his mission.
Moreover, Ian had always been very ruthless toward women, and he was also very cold-blooded.
He used to hang around with the mafia boss in Asperia. That man had always been a
playboy, and the women around him changed once every few days. He also liked to
share his women with his gang members. If anyone did not want to accept his gift, he
would consider it disrespectful.
Once upon a time, the mafia boss had introduced a woman he had just found to Ian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNobody knew how many men the woman had slept with—their only clue was that her
way of life looked extremely dissolute.
Ian had no feelings for that rambunctious woman, but he had to fake it. Later on, that
woman fell in love with Ian and was willing to be his spy. She reported everything that
the boss did to him from time to time.
However, when the woman was caught red-handed and was left in a cage to be bitten
to death by a Tibetan Mastiff, he remained unconcerned.
It was not that he was ruthless or cruel. It was just that the mission was extremely
dangerous. A tad bit of carelessness would surely get him killed, and it might even
expose the other spies lurking around.
After all, it was a mission that took everyone more than half a year of hard work, and
no one wanted to fall short.
Ian responded with a calm hum.
The driver sighed. “It’s not bad to find a woman you can marry safely. All the brothers
we met in the squad either left or died. It’s time to stop when we find ourselves a
suitable woman.
“Besides, to still be alive is a blessing to US.”
