After talking to Roma, Rachael couldn't help but worry about her cousin as well.

"She is worried about him." She placed her hand on his arm. "Could you do something?"

"Okay, I'll try my best." Andrew assured her. He already knew the truth but he couldn't tell her. Though he felt very bad for keeping the truth away from her, it was for the best.

"What if he is involved with bad people?" She nervously inquired.

Andrew did not answer immediately. Instead, he kept looking at her. He could see the nervousness and fear in her eyes and this made him feel very uncomfortable.

"What if he is?" He questioned her back. "Will you be scared of Joshua and stop talking to him?"

Rachael thought for a while and then shook her head. "I can't do that, he is my brother." How could he cut all ties with someone she had spent almost all her childhood with? It was possible and not fair either.

"But I will talk to him, I'll try to convince him to leave everything and focus on living a normal life," she added.

"Rach, that's not how it works," he remarked. "Once you step foot into that world, you can't completely step out of it. You will always be a part of it for the rest of your life."

She frowned and pondered a while. "Then don't do it."

"Huh?"

"Don't try to find out anything about Joshua," she stated. "I don't want you to get involved in those things." If Joshua was really involved in unethical things, there was a chance that Andrew would also get involved in it if he did what aunt Roma wanted him to.

Her husband getting involved in such dangerous things was not even the last thing she wanted.

"What about aunt Roma then? What will we tell her?"

Rachael thought for a while and said, "I will just tell her you don't have any connections there. But—" She pursed her lips and frowned. "I am worried for Joshua too."

"I will do something, don't worry."

"But—"

Andrew sighed and pulled her in his embrace. "Don't worry, I will not get involved." How was he supposed to tell her that he couldn't get involved as he was already too deep into it? His involvement was much more than that of Joshua's.

She rested her chin on his chest and inquired, "Should I talk to Joshua first? Maybe all of this is just a misunderstanding…"

"You can talk to him if you want to." He gently caressed her back. "Or you can wait for me to get you the details before talking to him.

"I think it will be better if you wait for a little while," he added. "I mean, what if you accuse him now and later we find out that he wasn't lying? He will feel bad that his family does trust him."

Andrew didn't want her to talk to Joshua before he gave him a heads up about everything that was going on.

"I think you are right," she agreed. "I will wait for you then." Though she wanted to talk to Joshua, she also didn't want to falsely accuse him and make him feel bad.

Taking a sip of the coffee, Igor was carefully listening to the news his subordinate was feeding him with.

"Boss, it seems like young master is there only for a vacation."

"What is he doing there?" Igor curiously inquired. It had been almost two months since Samuel, his younger brother left home without a word. He hadn't even contacted him even once.

This made Igor feel very uncomfortable and made him wonder what Samuel was up to or what he was planning to do.

"Nothing suspicious," Viktor answered. "He is just going around and exploring the city."

Igor let out an affirmative sound and continued sipping his tea. His men had been following Samuel very closely for the last two months. Though they couldn't find anything suspicious, Igor still had his doubts.

"And boss—"

When Viktor hesitated, Igor raised his brows. "What is it now?"

"It's about Ms.Elsa Volkov—"

The mention of Elsa's name piqued his interest in the conversation. "What about her?"

"She….she…" Viktor gulped in nervousness, trying very hard to find the correct words that wouldn't piss him off.

"Talk properly," Igor snapped at him.

"It seems like she got back with Justin Carter…" As soon as he finished his sentence, Viktor took a step back. He knew how obsessed Igor was with Elsa. He had seen him do insanely crazy things for her. He still remembered how he threw a feast and gave him a big bonus when Elsa and Justin broke up.

Even when they were in a relationship, Igor did not stop sending her flowers and gifts. He never stopped pursuing her even though she had turned him several times.

Igor threw his head back and laughed. "Oh Justin—" He chuckled and took a sip of his coffee.

"Why do you keep taking my precious Lily away from me," he sighed and helplessly shook his head.

Though he seemed very calm and unaffected, Viktor felt chills down his spine. He knew Igor wasn't happy or pleased with what he had heard.

"What about Snoopy?" Igor inquired. "Is he in Elisberg city too?"

"Yes boss."

"What is he doing there?"

"Nothing much boss, he is just spending time on his own and with his family. Also—" Viktor paused for a while and said, "Snoopy seems to be related to Rachael Watson."

"Andrew's wife?" Igor raised his brows.

"Yes boss." Viktor nodded. "They are staying together too."

"Andrew and Joshua?" When Viktor nodded, Igor's expression turned dark and cold.

The news of Joshua and Andrew staying together affected him more than the news of the love of his life getting back with her ex.

Keeping quiet for a very long time, Igor stated. "I heard that Elisberg city is a very beautiful place, I think it's time we explore the city a little."
