Deshawn felt very sorry and comfortingly patted her shoulder.
“We are not just acquaintances, we are friends. We will continue to be partners working together in the future. You can rely on us for anything.”
With that, he sent a message on his phone, and soon a group of bodyguards appeared, surrounding Edgar.
“Please leave, sir. Stephanie does not welcome you. Do not come to disturb her again, or there will be consequences!”
He signaled to the bodyguards next to him, and they all raised their guns towards Edgar.
Edgar’s face turned pale in waves, feeling utterly helpless.
After all, this is a foreign country, not his territory, and his fists were no match for the power of guns.
There was no way, he could only take a few steps back, watching Stephanie leave with his eyes wide open.
He gazed deeply at her back, and the pain in his heart surged like a tidal
wave.
Before, he hurt her, just because of a misunderstanding. In the future, he will never hurt her like that again. Why is she unwilling to forgive him?
Can’t we give him one last chance?
Edgar felt extremely bitter in his heart, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

He stared fixedly at the young man beside her, his eyes growing darker.
Is it because of this man that she became so indifferent to him? Is it
because she fell out of love?
How could she care so much about a man she had only met once?
Not being able to take her away doesn’t mean that I couldn’t lay a hand on
that man!
Edgar gradually averted his gaze and, under the watchful eyes of the bodyguards, got into the car and headed to the hotel.
For two days in a row, the security guard downstairs kept an eye on him, preventing him from having another chance to disturb Stephanie.
As they wished, Edgar didn’t go anywhere.
He didn’t go to find Stephanie until the bodyguards relaxed their vigilance and he went to Zayden’s school.
Zayden had just come out of the laboratory when he was blocked by Edgar.
“You are Zayden, right? Your family background is average, so it must not have been easy for you to come here to study. I can give you some money, and after you take the money, you can leave Stephanie forever.”
Zayden looked at Edgar expressionlessly, without any hint of emotion on his face, and refused without hesitation: “No.”
He turned around and changed direction to leave, but Edgar blocked him again.
“Isn’t this demand enough? Any demand you make, as long as you can leave Stephanie, otherwise your family back home may not be able to live well.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s up to you,” Zayden said calmly, “If you can touch my family, then I’ll consider you impressive.”
Because his family, although appearing ordinary to outsiders, were actually mostly classified as state secret researchers.
The Patrick family mostly focused on their careers, with Zayden being the most dedicated.
He was too smart and cold–blooded, with only thoughts of studying anything. This time, he was curious about this project, so he deliberately went abroad to participate in the research.
He was not short of money, but if he sold some of the research results in his hands, he would definitely make a lot of money.
But he was not interested.
Edgar didn’t care how far he could go with his family.
Zayden calmly turned to the side, wanting to change direction and leave.
Edgar’s eyes were deep, he never expected that he could remain unaffected like this.
Before she could say anything else, Stephanie quickly walked over with a furrowed brow, shielding Zayden behind her and warily staring at Edgar.
“What do you come here for? And bringing him here out of nowhere to vent your anger?”
“Am I really such a cruel person in your eyes? Edgar asked incredulously.”
“Maybe not before, but later when Amelia appeared, did you torture me less?”
She dared not let her guard down at all, afraid that Zayden might be the

next her.
Anyway, he only needed one reason to lay hands on people.
Seeing her attitude, Edgar felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Was she really afraid of him? To the point of being wary of him like this!
