Chapter 1255: The Real and Fake Aunt

Julia's face turned pale, still shaken by what had just happened. She couldn't help but glance at Chris Shelby, surprised by his formidable strength. The waiter was clearly no ordinary assassin, yet Chris Shelby had scared him off with a single move.

Chris Shelby looked at Julia and asked with a smile, "Auntie, were you scared?"

Julia quickly shook her head. "No!"

For some reason, Julia always felt a chill down her spine when she met Chris Shelby's sharp gaze.

Chris Shelby smiled faintly. "It's good that you're okay! Luckily, nothing serious happened today. Otherwise, it would have been bad if you got scared. But lately, assassins have become more rampant. Several have tried to kill Esther before!"

"Auntie, be careful. If an assassin comes again, remember to dodge quickly. If you get killed, there's nothing I can do!"

Hearing Chris Shelby's words, Julia swallowed hard. His words were terrifying, especially when she saw his eyes; it felt like falling into an ice cellar.

After witnessing Chris Shelby's prowess, Julia knew he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Esther, I have something to do. I'll leave now!"

With that, Julia hurriedly left.

Watching her leave, Chris Shelby's face was full of mockery.

After Julia left, Esther said angrily, "Chris Shelby, why did you scare my aunt?"

Chris Shelby snorted coldly. "She looked down on me; I wanted to scare her."

Hearing this, Esther couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, Esther also knew her aunt's words were too much. Chris Shelby scaring her wasn't a big deal.

But now, Esther's cooperation with her aunt was ruined.

It didn't matter much since Chester Group was the top group in Amerosia now. Whether they cooperated with her aunt or not wasn't a big deal.

Then Chris Shelby and Esther drove away from Appointment Club.

In the car, Chris Shelby kept thinking. Previously, Michael Collins had bribed international assassins to kill Esther. But now that Michael Collins was dead, who else would dare send assassins again? Moreover, Chris Shelby had called Slayer from the International Assassins' Guild. He believed Slayer wouldn't dare send assassins to East Coast after knowing his identity.

Most importantly, this assassin was quite skilled. Although he didn't kill Esther, he escaped from Chris Shelby.

Back at the villa, Chris Shelby called Lynx.

"Boss, what's up?" Lynx asked respectfully after receiving the call.

Chris Shelby said, "Lynx, I encountered an assassin at the club today. Can you find out where this assassin came from? Is it from the International Assassins' Guild?"

"Got it!" Lynx nodded and hung up.

A few minutes later, Lynx called back.

"Boss, I haven't received any news about the International Assassins' Guild sending assassins to East Coast. Based on your description, this assassin seems quite skilled! If the guild sent another assassin, they wouldn't dare send such a strong one because it would be a suicide mission! So I haven't figured out where this assassin came from."

Chris Shelby nodded. "I see."

After hanging up the phone, he fell into deep thought again.

Recalling the scene at the club, this assassin was very strong. Had he overlooked something important?

According to the guild's rules, they wouldn't send assassins against anyone related to him. And after warning Slayer, he believed Slayer wouldn't dare send another assassin.

But where did this assassin come from? content.

Unable to figure it out, Chris Shelby decided not to think about it further. No matter how many assassins

came, he wouldn't mind dealing with them.

Trying to assassinate his wife was pure wishful thinking!

That evening, Esther received another call from her aunt Julia. Julia wanted to talk with her again and Esther agreed.

Seeing Esther agree to meet Julia again made Chris Shelby frown.

"Dear," he asked Esther, "are you going to see your aunt?"

Esther nodded. "Yes! She's my aunt; I can't refuse her call."

Chris Shelby said directly: "I'll go with you!"

His intuition told him something was off about Esther's aunt.

Later on, Chris Shelby drove Esther to a café where they saw Julia waiting for them.

Seeing them arrive together made Julia smile and ask: "What would you like to drink?"

Chris Shelby replied indifferently: "A latte for me."

Julia seemed completely unaware of what had happened earlier in the day as if nothing had occurred at all-this made Chris Shelby frown slightly.

Esther looked at Julia and asked: "Auntie why did you want to meet me?"

Julia smiled: "Esther I need to use the restroom can you come with me?"

Huh?

Esther was puzzled by this request-why would she need company?

Shaking her head she replied: "No thanks-you can go alone."

"Alright," Julia said before getting up and leaving for the restroom.

Watching her leave made Chris Shelby turn towards Esther saying: "Dear your aunt seems odd."

Esther nodded in agreement: "I feel so too-she's acting strangely unlike herself."

Hearing this made Chris narrow his eyes: "Dear it's possible she's not really your aunt!"

"What?" Esther exclaimed in disbelief: "How could that be?"

Chris smiled: "We'll find out soon enough."

Moments later Julia returned from the restroom apologizing for keeping them waiting.

Chris smiled back saying: "Auntie if you don't have a place to stay after returning from abroad why don't you stay with us tonight? Our villa is big enough, you can choose any room!" en.swhovels.net

Julia hesitated asking: "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

Chris reassured her smilingly: "Not at all, we're family!"

Esther agreed nodding along saying: "Auntie Chris is right, we're family!"

After thinking for a moment Julia agreed saying she'd stay over tonight.

Later on Chris drove both Esther and Julia back home where John greeted them looking surprised seeing Julia there asking why she had come over suddenly.

"What?"
