The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 217. Something is not right.
Xavier just frowned. Antony really took advantage of this moment to raise his electability in front of the public.
“Main news tonight. The murder of successful businessman Mr. Robert Kim has finally been solved. Mr. Antony who is the son of former Vice President Herry who voiced and also asked firmly this case must be resolved completely and finally immediately gave his statement.” heard the sound of the news on TV. Graciella and Xavier again frowned and looked at each other. They soon refocused on what was in front of them.
“True, thanks to the efforts of the police, and also a private investigation bureau led by its experts. With all the efforts finally being able to catch the mastermind of the assassination of Mr. Robert and also the one who slandered General Xavier,”, Antony said, standing in front of reporters as if giving his classification.
“Mr Antony, is it true that the main mastermind of all this is Mr Peter Sam?” ask one of the reporters who were lined up in front of Antony.
The camera instantly panned Antony who seemed a little silent at first. “Yes, Mr. Peter is the mastermind of all this.”
Xavier who initially folded his hands on both of his chest immediately passed the fold and looked back at Graciella. Graciella just nodded. He also initially did not believe it because of that Daren asked him to see the live broadcast that was on television now.
Xavier with a frown looked back at his television screen. He knows Mr. Peter. The man despite his ambitions of becoming president but it seems like he is not a person who can think cunningly like that. How could he do this to Xavier. Didn't they promise to work together?
“Do you think this murder has anything to do with the Presidential election? Not that Mr Peter, General Xavier and you will also compete in the Presidential election later?” the reporter said with a curious face.
“I don't know what Mr. Peter's real motive is to do this. But I was only moved by the humanitarian side. Anyone deserves justice, right? I just want to prove that everything is equal before the law. Whether a commoner or a politician, if they are guilty, then he must account for all his actions,” Antony said firmly with a very serious look. “I think I got here first. Let's wait for the police check. Good night.” Antony immediately left his place and his guards immediately confronted the reporters who seemed to still want to ask Antony and chase after him.
“Here are the pieces during the arrest of Mr. Peter Sam that we got from various sources.”
The television footage immediately turned to a picture in which Stevan appeared to be leading Mr Peter in handcuffs to the police station. There Stevan and Mr. Peter seemed overwhelmed to dispel the many journalists who had surrounded them.
“No information whatsoever for now,” said Stevan visibly covering Mr. Peter whose face was also deliberately covered by a black suit. They immediately entered the police station which did not allow any journalists to enter.
Once again Graciella and Xavier looked at each other. In their view it was as if implied something they understood each other.
“What do you think?” xavier asked Graciella.
“So please, I feel like there is something wrong with all this. Either because of Mr. Peter or because of Antony. It's just, I feel not right,” said Graciella. To be honest, he was confused by this. He's convinced Stevan can't just arrest people. He must have been informed and had also been looking for evidence to arrest Mr. Peter. And even if Mr. Peter felt innocent, he would definitely not be easily taken to the police station. So Graciella believes most likely that Mr. Peter was involved is correct.
Then, what's still stuck in Graciella's heart. Is it because of Antony? From the beginning it was not that he had indeed agreed to help the man. But either way, even though he has revealed the right thing and Antony is not wrong, he is just taking advantage of the case, but from a small heart Graciella felt unsettled and still felt something was wrong. There was a little regret that came out of nowhere.
“Ehm ..”
“No. You can't come with me tonight. It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening. You need to rest. If there's anything you want to ask, you'll ask in the morning. I will allow you,” said Xavier again who knows there must be a lot in his wife's head now.
Graciella frowned deeply. Yeah, honestly, he wants to come now. But he also remembered his circumstances. He should not be selfish even if he feels he is okay.
“Alright,” replied Graciella obediently this time.
“Tonight promises to sleep well. Don't think too much about it. You have to remember his health,” said Xavier who approached and stroked Graciella's lower abdomen slowly.
“Yes, I will try to pause whatever is inside my brain right now. No need to worry,” said Graciella smiled thinly.
“Good, I'll get ready,” said Xavier who went straight into his room. He immediately took his need to leave tonight and contacted Arnold who immediately prepared the vehicle for Xavier. After putting on his jacket, Xavier immediately exited his room.
As she exited the room, Graciella immediately stood up to see her husband. His mother had Graciella wake up to accompany him to sleep according to Xavier's request.
“Be careful,” message Graciella while driving Xavier out of his house.
“Sure,” replied Xavier while lightly tucking Graciella's forehead while stroking Graciella's flat stomach. “Mother, title Graciella. Ask him to sleep and don't let him stay up late. I'm sure she'll be hard to sleep tonight,” pinta Xavier on Monica.
“Do not worry. I'm not going to sleep until I make sure Graciella sleeps. Be careful,” said Monica again.
Xavier did not answer what his mother said and only gave a firm nod. He immediately stepped towards his car. As soon as Arnold got into the car, they immediately lunged into the darkness of the night which was only illuminated by the dim light of the crescent moon.
Xavier picked up his phone and called Stevan. Before long the tone of the call, the phone was immediately picked up by Stevan.
“Stevan, I'm on my way there. Where is Mr Peter being held?” ask Xavier. He still feels. Mr. Peter couldn't have done it alone. The mastermind of all this, he must reveal.
