Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 566 You Can’t Save Them Both

“No wonder her signature is the same as Anna’s,” Emily said, nodding

“I’m sorry! It’s all my fault,” With her face buried in her hands, Isabella sobbed

“Stop blaming yourself, Isabella. It’s already happened, so we should just face it. I know you didn’t expect Tammy to go there without telling anyone. We still have some hope because we haven’t heard anything about Gary or Tammy,” Emily said

“What happened to Gary?” Isabella asked, as she had no idea Gary had gone missing as well

After hearing Emily’s account of the situation, Isabella asked, surprised, “Night Eagle? Wait, I heard of them before! ” She then took a rag from her coat pocket and showed it to them

Emily was taken aback when she saw the logo on it. “How did you get this?”

Isabella said, “A woman allowed me to leave the Maldives on her boat

She was the woman who lives in the mansion next door to our hotel, and she had this sign all over her boat.”

Emily went completely still. She didn’t attend Isabella’s wedding because she was on a mission at the time. Meanwhile, Ryan was aware of the whole situation, as Jasper even asked him to find Isabella after she ran away

“Are you talking about the group of people in black?”

Isabella responded with a nod, “That woman is their leader. She took

Seeing that Emily’s eyes widened in shock, Isabella quickly explained to her, “It’s all right. I wasn’t hurt. They did it because they didn’t want me to know who they were or where they were going.”

Emily sighed with relief, “So, why didn’t you come back? Everyone has

been looking for you nonstop.”

“I…” Isabella paused, unsure of how to explain

“It’s all right. We don’t have time for that now. What else was in that ship, Isabella? Tell us everything you heard and saw in the ship,” Ryan helped Isabella dodge the question by changing the subject

“I overheard her arguing with her assistant about whether or not to bring back a child. I didn’t hear anything else.”

Emily asked, “Bring a child back? Which one?”

“It’s Gary,” Isabella clenched her fists

Both suspicious, Emily and Ryan exchanged glances. “I’ll look into it,” Emily said as she stood up. At the same time, she thought to herself, For the past several years, no one mentioned Gary’s parents. Everyone knows who his mother is, but no one knows anything about his father. Gay’s father couldn’t possibly be Dragon because he wasn’t that powerful

After a long drive, Emily returned to Karl’s house. Before turning off the intercom, she opened the curtains to check the situation outside. At that moment, Peace, Karl, Matthew, and Isabella all sat in the living room Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

When they heard the sound of an engine outside the yard, everyone froze

“I’ll go check it out,” Isabella said, standing up

After getting out of the car, Jasper noticed Isabella standing in front of

565 You Can’t Save Them Both = the house. She bowed her head and appeared to be ashamed

“Isabella,” Jasper said as he approached her

“I’m so sorry,” Isabella said quietly

Jasper held her close and stroked her hair gently. He said, “It is not your fault. I knew they had been planning to take Gary away for a long time. They would do so whether you leave or not.”

They then walked into the living room together. Isabella kept whimpering because she was drowning in grief. And Jasper comforted her by holding her hand tightly

“This organization has been mysterious, so there is very little information about them,” Jasper explained to the crowd, “But they are mercenaries, after all, so it’s not difficult to find some people who have worked with them.”

“What’s going on? Gary’s still a kid. How could he possibly have anything to do with this goddamned organization?!” Peace asked

“This whole thing has everything to do with Ada. Emily, you should have guessed Gary’s biological father wasn’t Dragon, right? The person who brought her to Ireland in the first place had close ties to the Night Eagle.”

“AllI know is that the man’s last name was Lawrence, and he died a few years ago. He was an Irishman who ran a casino. We knew about a few years ago, but we all thought this guy was just temporarily dating Ada at first,” Emily explained

“Pretty much. Marcel Lawrence had several mistresses.”

“As for Gary…” Jasper revealed everything he had learned to everyone, “Ada returned to England a few years ago, wanting to bring Gary back to Ireland because she wanted Marcel’s inheritance. Marcel had just died, so Gary was Ada’s last hope. Marcel and his wife had five children, but all died unexpectedly. Gary was his only son.”

“Five?” Peace asked, “but what does this have to do with Night Eagle?”

“The head of Night Eagle is Victoria Burton, Marcel’s cousin. She has never been married and has no children. If I’m correct, she wants to take her nephew away and raise him to be the next leader of Night Eagle,” Jasper explained

“Did all five of Marcel’s children die by accident?” Ryan asked

“They definitely all went through rigorous training,” Jasper said, “And it’s possible they died in training or were assassinated. I’ve heard of things like that before.”

“She’s crazy, isn’t she? She’s been using her cousin and his mistresses, forcing them to keep having children. Plus, she treated those children cruelly,” Peace said

Then Jasper continued, “Marcel didn’t want Victoria Burton to know anything about Gary, so he didn’t tell anyone about his relationship with Ada. Victoria would have learned about Gary sooner if Marcel hadn’t done that. By doing so, he was preventing her from taking his son away.”

“So why didn’t she just take Gary away? Why did she kidnap Matthew?” Emily asked

At night, a boat slowly floated in the sea. Several speedboats soon approached it from all sides. And a crowd of people dressed in black gathered on the deck

The leader of the group was a woman wearing a black mask. Her eyes shone with a sinister light in the moonlight. “How are the two kids?” she asked

“The girl made a big fuss and kept shouting at us, but Gary got her to stop.”

Hearing that, the woman snorted mockingly and said, “She doesn’t seem to be a smart one. I guess they’ll be able to find out about us soon.”

“Do we need to leave here now?”

“No. Give them the signal and tell them they can only save one of these two children.”

“One? That doesn’t appear to be a difficult decision.”

“Whatever they choose, the result will not be what they desire. Let’s leave the girl here to keep Gary company.”

The woman waved her hand, her robe swaying in the breeze. On her wrist, something silver glowed. It was a tiny silver snake wrapped around the woman’s slim arm
