Chapter 367 A Foreboding Premonition
“We once had a bodyguard named Elvis. Charisa instructed him to secretly take Cherise away, and they have not been seen since then. Zachary’s eyes narrowed. “If that child ist really Cherise, then the person who took her away should be… Elvis Shaw.”
Meanwhile, moonlight illuminated Shaw’s Village.
Elvis stood in his front yard, smoking a cigarette and wearing a thick coat, while Sarah put the children to bed. She then went into Old Mrs. Shaw’s room to spray some insect repellent before quietly stepping out into the yard.
“Can’t sleep?” she asked when she reached him.
Elvis let out a heavy sigh and embraced her. “I’ve been having a bad feeling lately. Cherise. told me that Damien took her to Europe a week ago, and she doesn’t know when they will
return.”
He closed his eyes. “She looks just like her mother. I’m worried…”
Sarah tightly held his hand. “She has been safe and sound all these years, hasn’t she? You also mentioned that her birth mother has remarried. Perhaps she has her own children now and has forgotten about Cherise.”
Elvis furrowed his brows deeply as he let out a long breath. “You don’t know her.” He put out his cigarette and continued in a husky voice, “She is someone who would seek revenge. without a doubt. She left for another man because she didn’t want to bring down the Tanner family. Nineteen years ago, she asked me to take Cherise away. In the following six years, she was confident that she could seek revenge on all the people who framed her and her husband. However, thirteen years ago…” He sighed. “Something terrible is about to happen. I can’t shake this feeling.”
With that, he took out a bank card and handed it to Sarah. “After that incident thirteen. years ago, I felt guilty. Besides the money used to save Cherry’s life, I haven’t touched the rest of the money. Two months ago, not only did the Lenoir family pay for Mom’s medical expenses, but they also gave a generous amount as a token of appreciation for raising Cherise all these years. The money in this card is enough for you to relocate Sky, Tay, and Mom. If something happens to me, don’t confront Cherry. I hope you won’t blame her either. Take everyone and start fresh in a new place.” He slowly closed his eyes. “Perhaps you can even find a good man to remarry.”
Tears streamed down Sarah’s face. “I’m not young anymore. Don’t you think it’s too much to ask of me to move and find-
“I made too many mistakes when I was young. Elvis chuckled bitterly. “Some things are bound to come to light eventually. It’s good to have some backup plans.”
Sarah wiped away her tears and took a deep breath before looking into his eyes. “You haven’t told me how you managed to get the two hundred thousand to save Cherise’s life. thirteen years ago. And there was even some left over! What on earth-”
“I did something immoral.” Elvis shook his head and laughed at himself dryly.
“Uncle Shaw!”
In Tanner’s Residence across the Pacific Ocean, Cherise woke up abruptly.
Cold sweat covered her forehead as she opened her eyes. Her heart was pounding so fast. that it felt like it might jump out of her chest.
“What’s wrong?” a deep voice sounded as Damien appeared. “Did you have a nightmare?” he asked, pulling her into an embrace.
