What puzzled Eric the most was that, although John uncovered several informants within the Elite Horizon Club, all of them had a consistent story—they were paid a hefty sum of money, contacted solely through disposable phones.
That sum of money was more than what they'd earn from working at the club for ten years!
As for those informants, Eric left their handling to John. When he returned home, he found Ella sound asleep on the bed.
"Darling…" he called out softly, but Ella was sleeping soundly. He quietly walked over to her. The moonlight fell on her peaceful face, so stunningly beautiful it was almost otherworldly.
Eric swallowed hard. Despite taking an ice-cold bath at the club, he felt desire stirring again.
However, considering the baby growing in her belly, he suppressed his urges. Gently lying down beside her, he silently gazed at Ella's face, and a wave of happiness filled his heart.
