Chapter 138 - Someone Stronger Than Top 5 (2/2)

Aiden sighed and said nothing. He turned silent at her words. He said he would take her as his children's godmother when they met the last time they met.

”Had lunch?” he asked after some silence.

”Yeah…” she replied.

Regan returned.

”They are going there. I informed Simon to send Raymund with them,' he said.

”Good, now let's start with the main things,” Aria said.

”What?” Regan asked.

”Their marriage is on Friday. We need to hurry up!” Aria said.

”Aria, we didn't inform the children about the Friday thing. It's too soon. We are looking for other dates. And today… It's Tuesday. There are only two days for it,” Regan said.

”Let's inform them then. This Friday or next Friday… it doesn't make any difference,” Aria said.

”What do you say, Aiden?” Regan asked, turning his head.

”I have no problem as long as Eleanor doesn't have a problem,” he said.

”Call them now!” Aria urged them.

”Let's talk to them peacefully in the evening after they return,” Aiden said.

”OKAY! COME WITH M FOR SHOPPING!!” Aria yelled and dragged them out.

”Why hurry?” Regan asked if he couldn't stand her excited mode.

”I am in the mood to be busy,” she said.

With that she dragged them away.

In the car….

”What is it about?” Eleanor asked Cedric after he hung the call.

”He wants us to go to the villa, which he saw yesterday,” Cedric said as he tilted his head slightly to the left, looking at her.

”Wait… didn't he see it this morning only. How could he select it in a few hours?” she asked, surprised. She would even take a few days or weeks to select a house to buy.

”Hmm… maybe because he is Regan Emerson,” he said.

”Say it clearly,” she asked looking at him with a look that said 'don't be an ass'.

”Hmm… you know… Owens are best in real estate. And… given with their years of friendship…. Uncle Owen would only show the best houses. And this time… he only showed three houses… it means it's easy to select,” Cedric said.

”Oh…” she said. She even sighed in the end.

”What happened?” Cedric asked, noticing her sigh.

”Nothing… it's just that few pieces are not adding up,” she said.

”What kind of pieces?” Cedric asked, taking a U-turn.

”Nothing… I shall say that… we weren't in the top five when my father handled it. But they were still friends and had contact. After that you guys and my brother are good friends. Also…. Not only that… after we entered the top 5…. Can I say that your bond with my brother is strengthened? But why did no one help when something happened to him? I am not talking about company but my brother? I am really curious about this,” Eleanor asked.

Cedric didn't expect this question from her. Indeed it was a million dollar question. From his investigation… along with him Owen's and Callan's investigated too… but they stopped their investigation in the middle. Because they couldn't.

”I couldn't investigate it further,” Cedric said.

Yes, in the Country Lucren… Emerson's had a line that they couldn't cross. It's just the line was invisible and the person who drew the line is mysterious. They met a dead end… where they could find nothing. Why? And who was the person behind? No one knows about it.

”In the sense?” ELeanor questioned.

”I know… if we invest money in your company… Martin wouldn't like it. Because he is a man with pride. He would rather starve to death than ask help from anyone. He would beg only if… it involves you… but if you don't, he won't bother.

”So… we didn't take a step in bankruptcy. Emerson's, Owen's, Callan's we did our investigation… but when we reached a certain point… we couldn't go further.

”It means…” he stopped his words.

”There is someone stronger than all the top 5. Who targeted my brother or let's say my family,” she said.

”Right,” he said.

”Then why didn't he touch me?” Eleanor asked. now
