Chapter 1454
Chapter 1454 The Person Who Wants to Kill You Is Irene Yves
He immediately sensed what Gareth was thinking. Just as he reached out his hand to grasp Gareth's
shoulder, Gareth swiftly avoided him and shot a fierce glare at him.
Anyone who wanted to lay a hand on Gareth had overestimated themselves.
Mr. North smiled faintly. "Good luck, Mr. Wickam."
Then, he signaled for his men to retreat, leaving Gareth in the room with a cold frown.
Meanwhile, Elisa witnessed Eden and Irene's miserable state through a phone–someone deliberately
filmed it. As they walked down the street, no one escorted them, and no cars stopped to offer a ride.
Although Irene's identity was unknown, the casino owner knew Eden was a crown prince. Despite that,
he showed no mercy to Eden, which aroused Elisa's suspicion.

"Sir, although they're at fault for picking up a fight in the casino, they instantly apologized. Why do you
have to drive them to the corner?" Elisa asked curiously.
The man chuckled. "It's not only because they ignored the casino rules, but I'm also teaching them a
lesson on behalf of their foster parents. Isn't that acceptable?"
Foster parents? Elisa was flabbergasted when she heard the phrase. She only discovered Eden's
identity as Estoccia's crown prince but had never thought he was fostered.
What about the woman, then? Is she a royal family member, like Eden, too?

'support'.
"Sir, why did you say that? And what's the motive of you doing all this?"
Elisa knew there must be a reason behind it.
The man didn't answer immediately because Elisa wasn't aware of her real identity and the story
behind her mother's leaving back then. Besides, he needed more time to investigate before he could
tell her the truth.
However, Elisa had already become suspicious. She was sharp-witted, so the man knew he couldn't
dismiss her doubts by giving her perfunctory answers.
"I can't tell you yet because I'm still in the midst of investigating something. The only thing I can do now

is to protect you. Stay away from Eden and the woman named Irene Yves. The person who wanted to
kill you last time was none other than her!"
Elisa was stunned as she didn't expect the man to tell her this.
The man stood with his hands at his back and could only tell Elisa this much.
Nonetheless, this was sufficient for Elisa because she could further investigate based on the man's
response and Irene's identity.
The man knew Elisa had a plan when he saw her solemn expression. Her character is indeed like her
mother's and the Yves', the royal family.
The man walked up to Elisa and said, "I know I'm being a little impatient. You're intelligent and can
surely deduce many things based on what I said. I…"
