CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 338: HIS WIFE

Since the Williams are from Aurelia, there’s a good chance Summer Monroe will live here in the future.

And since she’s coming, of course, it’s more convenient to stay where she’s used to living.

However, hearing these words made Ryder Quinn feel uneasy, his back chilled, and he trembled as he said, "Your future partner... I think you shouldn’t be so certain. After all... you two aren’t even a thing yet. Besides, you’re not the same kind of people..."

It’s not just that they’re not the same kind of people, they’re not even the same gender!

Of course, it’s not that he’s against men finding true love with men, but he just can’t accept it for himself!

Ryder Quinn was anxious.

So anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He didn’t want to lose Damian Knight as a friend, but he really couldn’t be his partner!

Ryder Quinn racked his brain to continue speaking, when suddenly Damian Knight hushed him, placing his index finger on his lips in a gesture for silence.

Ryder followed Damian’s gaze and saw a gallery full of paintings ahead.

The picture on the outermost edge depicted a foreign woman in a white coat, sitting gracefully in front of a chair, smiling naturally, almost lifelike.

Damian Knight recognized the woman at once—it was Mrs. William.

Unfortunately, the eyes were not painted, but it didn’t detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

The painting was so realistic that Ryder Quinn temporarily forgot the earlier matter and couldn’t help but whisper in admiration, "This painting has a bit of the feel of the Mona Lisa’s smile... Amazing! Is there a signature? I want to buy this artist’s work for my living room!"

Damian Knight pointed to the bottom right corner of the painting.

Ryder looked over, then exclaimed in shock, "Damn! This painting was done by the owner of this house! Turns out they’re an artist!"

Compared to Ryder Quinn, Damian Knight’s reaction was much calmer.

It’s not that he wasn’t amazed by Summer Monroe’s painting skills, but if it’s her, he wasn’t surprised at all, and even felt a sense of "that’s just like her."

"But it’s strange..." Ryder murmured, "Damian, did you notice that none of the portraits have eyes? They’re all just covered with white paint. Does she not know how to paint eyes?"

Damian Knight didn’t think that was the case, but he couldn’t understand the reason either.

Ryder Quinn wanted to continue looking, but Damian pulled him away: "Don’t forget what you’re here to do. Get upstairs!"

Ryder Quinn was still somewhat reluctant, glaring at Damian in annoyance, thinking, "Is this how you treat someone you have feelings for?"

With that attitude, he’d be lucky to win over a woman, let alone him.

Ryder Quinn grunted discontentedly but realized Damian wasn’t paying him any attention and had already gone upstairs.

Ryder had no choice but to follow.

They soon reached the top floor of the hillside villa.

The top floor was planted with many rare trees, with a small fountain in the center, creating a beautiful view, like a high-class park.

Damian Knight went straight to the highest point to look down.

Half of Aurelia was in full view.

He found the best angle, from which he could see the only road leading to the villa.

Damian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He hadn’t paid attention when he arrived, but standing at the top, he realized there was only this one road leading here.

He raised his right hand and spoke into the small black microphone hidden in his sleeve, "Isaac Ross, go to the fork in the road two kilometers away and wait. There are small forests on both sides where you can hide. When they arrive, move in immediately."
