The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 495 - 491

Chapter 495: Chapter 491

Just as I was chatting, my mom gave me a call.

Things with Lucas were almost entirely ironed out by now. She and Dad were now managing his family business, meaning they would be staying there for a longer time. She suggested me to move there with Serena and Brandon.

"You’d better not go back to abroad. It wouldn’t be convenient if Jones returns there too." my mother’s tone was a tad solemn. "Your father and I don’t have any other expectations. We just hope you can live a good life with the kids. As for marriage..."

My mom didn’t go on, but I knew what she was hinting at. They wanted me not to be entangled in any more troubles with neither Damon nor Jones.

"I’ll head over after some time." I replied.

I couldn’t just head over now. The secret of Catherine and Dylan was like a black hole, pulling me to unveil it. Moreover, I had this strong hunch that even if I avoided Catherine by moving to my parents’ place, our paths would cross again in the future.

Instead of being haunted by her once again in the future, I’d rather stay here and solve the mystery once and for all.

"Why waiting? You’ve been in the City for a while, and both Damon and Jones are there too. How can your father and I be at ease?" My mom disagreed. She wanted me to move over immediately.

"I have some matters to settle. Don’t worry, Mom. But there’s something I really need your help with." I responded.

"What is it?" Mom asked.

"I want to send Serena and Brandon to your place. Can you please look after them for a while? I’ll return once I’m done with the matters here." I expressed my worries about their safety in the City.

Not only I worried about Damon’s suspicion, but I was also afraid of Catherine’s intention. She was a ruthless

being. She would be a great danger for my children’s safety if she believed that Serena and Brandon might threat her place in the Coleman family.

My parents were busy managing Lucas’ company, but I figured they could spare someone to look after the kids, along with a couple of babysitters.

My mom understood me well, knowing that I, ever so caring for the children, wouldn’t suggest this if I didn’t see the need. "Eliana, has Damon brought you a lifetime of trouble? Even the kids have to suffer."

she sighed.

I bit my lips and refrained from answering. I couldn’t refute the truth.

"Can you send them over, or do you want me to pick them up?" Mom asked, sounding resigned.

"I’ll bring them over." I replied.

The trip from here to my parents’ place was a bit of a journey. I would need a nanny to help me with the kids. But I had to do it for their safety.

Luna was taken aback when she heard that I was sending the kids away but quickly understood my reasoning. "I’ll have Eliza accompany you to help with the kids. Can you be sure to drive?" Luna

arranged everything neatly.

"Yes, and I’ll set off first thing tomorrow," I nodded.

The following morning, I packed up the kids’ stuff and, accompanied by Eliza, readied to set off in Luna’s car.

As I was about to start the car, Damon’s vehicle pulled up, effectively blocking my path.

He stepped out of his car and knocked on my window. I wound down the window reluctantly, "What is it?"

"I need your help with something," Damon cast a glance at Eliza and the kids in the back seat, his brows furrowing, "Where are you guys going?"

"What do you need help with?" I didn’t answer but asked instead.

"Leo is currently at Starlight Estates. I need someone I can trust to watch over him for a while." Damon’s words left me surprised.

Was he asking me to look after Leo?

I didn’t know that Lisa had brought Leo from Eldoria directly and settled him at Starlight Estates. But why didn’t Damon just ask Lisa to look after Leo there?

"Can’t do that. Go find someone else." I rejected outright. Leo wasn’t my kid, and I did have the time or emotional capacity for it.

"My mom had an incident. I can’t think of anyone else but you," His tone was heavy. I was startled, what had happened to Lisa?

I turned to look at Eliza and the kids, then I got out of the car. "Let’s talk over there."

I was mainly concerned about Lisa’s situation

Damon followed me to a spot a distance away from the car, where I asked, "What happened to Lisa?"

"Emotionally unstable. I had her sent back to my dad’s place. Leo can’t be left in her care now." Damon’s brows furrowed even more, "When I found out Catherine was also in the City, she had already brought

Leo over. She wouldn’t let Catherine see Leo and had him staying at Starlight Estates. Now, Leo is throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat."

So that was it. The news about Catherine must have upset Lisa, whose emotional state was already fragile.

It was a bit unmerciful to hide Leo at Starlight Estates. But what Catherine had done truly didn’t deserve to be a mother.

"Leo doesn’t like me. What do you want me to do?" I said helplessly.

"I don’t need you to do anything. Just watch over him and make sure he doesn’t leave Starlight Estates. I can’t trust anyone else." Damon explained.

So, I was to be a mobile monitor?

Leo was prone to running away from home, and an average person couldn’t handle him. With Catherine’s capabilities, should she bribe someone to let Leo go, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I don’t have the time." I refused, not wanting to get into a staring contest with that little rascal. Even if I did have the time, I wouldn’t go

"I can’t be distracted with Leo’s antics right now. You can propose a trade-off." Damon, ever the businessman, went straight to negotiations.

I instinctively wanted to refuse, but a condition suddenly flashed in my mind, and I blurted out, "Fine, I do have one bargain. Leave the Smith Group alone."

Damon’s expression darkened significantly at my words. He questioned icily, "Are you worried about Jones?"

"He’s already backed off. Why can’t you let it go? Is it fun to mutually destroy each other?" I planned to take this opportunity to convince Damon.

"Who says he’s backed off?" Damon’s eyes were cold as ice, "Do you think he would back off so easily? And there’s also Nick, who is not so easy to handle."
