Chapter 1018 In My Eyes, There Will Be No One Else But You
Waverly also spotted a man wearing a mask at the corner of the stage. He aimed his pistol at her, but he ran away without shooting any bullets.
Was it because she was the one he wanted to kill?
The person who wanted to kill her was still in the palace.
If she died, the whole place would be in chaos, and Bellamy would be in danger.
Waverly subconsciously looked at Bellamy.
He was also looking at her. His gaze was meaningful and imperceptible, but it was obvious that he was upset. She looked away.
Yazoo waited for a while before turning to look at Waverly. Then he looked at the stage. Frowning, he said in confusion, "I saw someone aiming a pistol at you just now."
"I saw it too," Waverly said.
"What happened to you? Why is someone trying to shoot you?" Yazoo asked worriedly.
Waverly shook her head as she had no idea either.
However, the only people who wanted to kill her and would be able to station people in the palace were either Joseph or Beckham .
At that critical moment, it would be beneficial for both of them if she died in the palace.
Firstly, Bellamy's alliance with the Emperor could be destroyed. Secondly, it would cause others to suspect that Bellamy was the one who had done it. Thirdly, the incident would give them reason to accuse the king of neglecting his duties.
"I'll get the sergeant to look into it. Take care of yourself. If the situation calls for it, hide under the table. I'll come to find you," Yazoo said seriously.
Waverly held his arm and recalled him protecting her just then, feeling touched, "Yazoo, everyone's life is precious and valuable, especially yours. You're carrying Bernald's life. Stay alive and don't sacrifice yourself for me. I would like to see you live a good life."
Yazoo looked at Waverly seriously and said, "I don't know the reason why I want to protect you either. My heart has been aching ever since the moment I saw you."
She felt touched and grew even more reluctant to let get hurt. She warned, "In the future, stay away from me."
"Huh?" Yazoo failed to understand her.
Waverly let go of his hand, "You will understand soon. Also, find a girl who is suitable for you, and live a normal and happy life."
"Let's talk about this later. I'll go and inform the sergeant to find out who brought guns into the palace," Yazoo said and left solemnly.
Her mobile phone rang as a text message was received. Waverly was reluctant to see it, but when she thought of the dangers of her surroundings, she grew a little angry. She picked up the mobile phone and looked at her notifications. It was indeed a message from Joseph.
He replied weirdly with only one phrase, "Haha."
She instantly made a phone call and stared at the stage with vigilance.
Joseph picked up the call but stayed quiet with his lips pursed. However, a surge of anger was apparent in his tone.
"I didn't expect you to be such a duplicitous person," Waverly said.
"What do you mean by that?!" Joseph raised his voice and frowned.
"It was you who hired that assassin who appeared on the stage, wasn't it?" Waverly asked directly.
"What?" Joseph raised his voice again. He stood up, looked around, and walked downstairs. "What features did the killer have? I'll find him now."
"So, he isn't one of yours?" Waverly was suspicious.
"It'd be easy for me to kill you. Do I need to kill you in the palace? Oh, you reminded me that if I kill you in the palace, I can put the blame on Bellamy and Ronaldo. That's a good idea," Joseph smiled, but his eyes looked serious. With killing intent and arrogance in his eyes, he hung up on the call.
He turned to Yadriel who was beside him and ordered, "Someone wanted to assassinate Waverly just now. Was that anyone's plan?"
"No, I swear it's not," Yadriel firmly said.
"Keep an eye on all the guests here. If anyone is suspicious, arrest them immediately," Joseph ordered and went upstairs.
Yasmine asked worriedly, "What happened?"
"A killer sneaked into the palace," Joseph said in a low voice.
Yasmine's face turned pale instantly, "Joseph, you'll protect me, won't you?"
Joseph looked at her pale face, he smirked and said, "Of course."
In his eyes, Yasmine had always portrayed herself as a fierce tiger. However, in reality, she was weak and incompetent. She was only putting on a façade.
However, Waverly was different.
Joseph looked at Waverly who was incredibly calm as if she was not concerned about her life. Although she knew someone wanted to assassinate her, she still remained relaxed.
He could not contain his smile anymore.
"As long as I'm here, you won't die," Joseph said this from the bottom of his heart.
Yasmine was relieved. Holding onto Joseph's arm, she leaned her head on Joseph's shoulder and said coquettishly, "I knew it. You're the best. I'm relieved that you're here."
Madam Lenny glanced at Yasmine and reminded, "Mind your behavior. In addition, you are the person-in-charge of the diplomatic affairs this time, so you must coordinate things well. If something goes wrong, you'll be responsible for everything."
"Yes, Mother. I will go and check again now," Yasmine said and went downstairs.
The show began.
The main character of the movie appeared, and she started to sing.
Yazoo came over and said to Waverly, "I found a gun, but I couldn't find the culprit. He threw the gun away and hid among the crowd. It's hard to figure out his identity."
Waverly raised her cup and took a sip of tea. She smiled gently, "That person is not a killer."
"Why?" Yazoo asked in confusion.
"At that time, I felt strange. Why didn't the killer shoot at me? After all, the killer must complete their task after receiving the money. When they agreed to the task, they should have known the circumstances of the situation, so even if things were complicated, how could they give up that easily? Moreover, even if you protect me, they will still shoot. In that case, they'll create chaos. It would be better for them to shoot, instead of holding back, then lose his gun and hide himself," Waverly theorized.
"Who do you think the killer is?" Yazoo asked.
"Who else would be able to enter the palace, excluding the guards and the armies. It can't be them, because they obey orders. If they give up, it means that they have already given up themselves," Waverly said, glancing at Melinda and Qianna, and then at Yasmine.
"No matter what, this person wants to kill you, so you have to be more careful. Otherwise, I can ask you out for a vacation as an excuse for you to escape," Yazoo suggested.
"Am I going to be on the run forever? It's impossible for me to be safe until the person who wants to kill me is found, but it's alright," Waverly smiled. "This person is weak and timid. Maybe he's not smart either. Don't worry."
"You're not worried, but I am," Yazoo said. "If I continue to live on on Bernald's behalf, won't you be doing the same?"
Waverly sat there, stunned.
She owed Bernald. However, humans would always be selfish and have some other things to focus on.
In her eyes, there would only be Bellamy and no one else.
