Chapter 1836

Arabella heard their words and her lips curled into a smile. "I really have no intention to play the hero."

"We don't need his pathetic clues. What if all the important information on that phone has been wiped

clean? We could be saving Serena for nothing." Sean was nobody’s fool, and he certainly wasn't about

to let his sister exhaust herself helping someone who didn’t deserve it.

Given Martin's character, he wouldn't do anything to betray Serena, but he was acutely aware that only

that cellphone could potentially save her life.

Chances were, he'd have taken a good look through Erik's phone, memorized the important stuff,

deleted it, and then handed over a practically useless phone to them.

It would be nothing more than acting out a formality.

It was therefore better not to bother at all.

"But what if Erik didn’t die by his own hand, but forced by someone pulling the strings? What does that

tell us?"

As soon as Hans finished his question, Kenneth and Louisa said in unison, "It means the puppet

master is getting antsy!"

He was rushing to get rid of Erik.

And when people rush, they tend to slip up.

Hans nodded, "That's why Bella had the servants continue to guard Erik, to keep his death under

wraps, away from prying eyes. If the puppet master wanted Erik dead, and Erik wasn't dead, they'd

surely send someone to see what's up, likely to tie up loose ends."

Louisa hadn't expected her darling daughter to have already devised a plan to trap the mastermind, to

instruct the servants to keep quiet, nor to have analyzed the situation so logically, instantly enlightening

them to the bigger picture.

This clearly demonstrated how intelligent her beloved daughter was.

"This master has been hiding for years, definitely no simple feat. Convincing him that Erik is still alive

might be tough."

No sooner had Kenneth spoken than Sean added, "What's so hard about that? Sis is a miracle, dealing

with a little poison is nothing to her. She could revive a dying plant, let alone Erik. And why save him

after all the bad he's done? Just to make him spill about the mastermind. So, the boss will buy it and

will show up for sure."

"Sean's got it right," Arabella agreed, "All we need to do is convince them that I've revived Erik, but he's

still unconscious and hasn't revealed who's behind it all. They are bound to send someone to check in,

and that's our chance to snag a tail!"

"Bella, you're a genius," Louisa couldn't help but praise, "Your little noggin thinks so far ahead, so

comprehensively! Let's do it your way. We'll have people conspicuously guard Reflections Villa around

the clock. The other side will think we're protecting Erik, waiting for him to wake up. It's natural and

convincing."

"Our precious little girl is incredibly smart and outstanding." Kenneth also expressed his heartfelt joy.

With this plan, it was only a matter of time before they ensnared their adversary.

"Let's go with my sis's plan," Hans looked at Arabella with approval and admiration. No matter what

happened, his sister never panicked.

"Just one thing." Louisa suddenly expressed concern, "I called Martin earlier and he knows Erik is

dead. What if, in his desperation to save Serena, he spills to the mastermind?"

"He doesn't know who the puppet master is, what we're up to, or that Erik's death is actually useful to

us. So, it's highly unlikely he'd play that card." Arabella assured her.

"But what if he does?" Louisa was still worried, ruing her impulsiveness to confront Martin on the spur

of the moment, risking their well-laid plans.

"What's the big deal? You called him; I'll just give him a warning," Sean said, his penchant for boldness

no secret.
