Chapter 590 Am I Free Labor to You?

"There is no such thing as a hundred percent certainty in anything, but Shawn isn't stupid. The trackingsystem is just the first step. I don't know if Shawn has told you, but there is a special department withinthe Xenos Family that investigates whether these people's records are clean. The informants arealways rewarded generously! Not only will they be given power, but the safety of the rest of their liveswill also be guaranteed too."

Shawn seemed to have mentioned something similar before.

Diego continued, "Shawn has worked hard for half of his life and never thought of delegating his power.But now, because of you… He is beginning to yearn for the warmth of a family and wants to replace waysto free up some of his busy schedules. We support him on this because at least he will promote a lot ofpeople, and then Ian and I won't have to be so busy."

"I haven't seen you busy," I uttered unconsciously.

Hearing that, Diego glared at me. "I'm the most miserable one, followed by Ian, and there are somewhom you don't know of. The one who has it the easiest is definitely Kevin. He's been hiding in Bryxtonall the time, and no one can do anything about him."

"You seem to be unhappy about it."

"Indeed. Alas, he's the closest person to Shawn, so even if a few of us were unhappy about it, we can'tdo anything about it."

Kevin once said that there would not be him without Shawn; Shawn also mentioned that Kevin was theone he trusted the most.

"How did Kevin and Shawn meet?"

"I'm not sure. I heard they knew each other very early on, but I never asked since I didn't care aboutthat. By the way, we'll reach headquarters soon."

"So soon?" I was expecting a longer ride.

"Shawn's home is here, so the headquarters isn't situated too far away. It's in the nearby city center,another 20 minutes away," Diego answered.

It only took us an hour to reach the headquarters, and it was a particularly tall building. It turned out thatthis was Shawn's company.

"Let's go in and take a look," Diego said to me.

"Where was Colin locked up previously?" I asked curiously.

"Another location. We're peace lovers, so we rarely keep people there. However, Colin was the onewho offended Shawn."

As Diego and I walked around the company, he introduced me as Mrs. Xenos to everyone he met.Hearing that, all of them looked fearful and surprised but still greeted me respectfully. I asked Diego tostop mentioning that I was Mrs. Xenos anymore.

"Why not? It's fine if you don't come, but now that you're here, it's good to let them get to know you.Look, Ian is having a meeting inside."

Through the glass, I saw Ian speaking passionately in his office. Diego explained to me on the side,"Both Ian and I are not accepted by the family. It's a great favor for us to be working here with Shawnas we can get what we want here. That's why we trust and serve him for our whole lives."

Diego was born out of wedlock, while Ian was a tag-along that Diego's mother brought to the ZellerFamily. Moreover, Shawn himself... was also born out of wedlock. The three of them had one thing incommon, which was why they could all understand each other's emotions.

"What about Emma?" I nodded and asked.

"She's in the engineering department."

As Diego led the way for me, I told him with a smile, "When I first met her, I only knew she was ascientist. She's a little genius in the eyes of others. At her age, she had already come up withnumerous scientific research results and acquired multiple patents. I didn't expect her talent incomputer science to be even more impressive. She is truly an admirable young lady."

Upon hearing that, Diego corrected me and said, "What's so difficult about computer science comparedto scientific research? To weirdos like them, computer science and software development are thesimplest things. There are only a handful of geniuses like them in the world who are not in the sameleague as us. Their intelligence is already at a different level than ours, and we can only envy them forthat."

Diego seemed relieved as he uttered, "Fortunately, I didn't pursue Emma back then, or I'll look dumb infront of her."

"But your ex-girlfriend is Emma's senior."

Diego was speechless upon hearing that and shot a glare at me before snapping, "Don't bring that up."

Shortly later, Diego took me to the engineering department, but we didn't go in. We were afraid ofdisturbing their workflow, so we just watched from outside the window.

Emma looked like a teenage girl, but considering her age, she was indeed young. She was wearing apink hoodie, a color that young girls liked. Moreover, she was wearing a pair of short shorts underneathand a pair of black Dr. Martens boots.

The outfit looked pretty peculiar, but somehow it looked well put together and cute on her. Her longstraight legs were especially enviable.

Suddenly, Diego let out a sigh. "She's so youthful, but it's a pity that she married an old man fourteenyears older than her!"

Hearing that, I kicked Diego, and he cried in pain, "I forgot you used to like Christopher, and you're noteven letting me mention him."

"Is that the point? If Emma heard you say Christopher is an old man, I'm sure she would cut ties withyou."

"Okay, I'll shut up. Let's call them for dinner."

"Forget it for now. Let them finish their work. You can accompany me for lunch and then send me backto the villa after that. You can ask them to come to my house after work."

"What are we going to do at your house?" Diego asked happily.

"I've been bored lately, so let's have a barbecue party tonight. Let’s get groceries, and then we'll do theprep work at the villa."

"Am I free labor to you?" Diego complained.

"But you're the idlest one."

"I'm very busy..."

Without saying anything, I turned around and left immediately.

"Wait up!"

After leaving the company, Diego and I went to a nearby mall to buy groceries, meat, and a barbecuegrill. Diego mentioned that Ian had been particularly moody recently, as it seemed like Amy had a newboyfriend.

"He's been trying to get a divorce for the longest time, so did it happen?"

"Not yet. It's his wife who disagrees."

"Is it his wife or his wife's family who disagrees?"

"It's just his in-laws who are against it, and they aren't easy to deal with. They were asking for 20% ofthe Zeller Family's shares if they got divorced. However, the most embarrassing thing is that Ian isn't aZeller."

"That's just a pipe dream," I murmured. They were outright delusional!

"I remember someone said that Ian asked for a divorce because he discovered the woman wascheating on him. There were talks about getting a divorce, but there aren't any results until now."

I couldn't remember if I heard it from Ian or Amy, but they mentioned this before. However, I didn't carebecause, from my perspective, it was just gossip.

While Diego was picking out the beef, he voiced his opinion. "His wife is a nice person. She is a veryelegant and proud woman. It was she who agreed to let Ian go. I don't believe that this woman wouldcheat."

Diego held that lady to high standards, and I suddenly remembered what Ezekiel said about notbelieving everything we see. Maybe there were some things we weren't aware of, so we shouldn'tmake hasty judgments.

"By the way, Ian's wife used to live with him not far from here, but she recently went back to herparent's house. It seems that her grandfather is seriously ill, and they have to distribute theinheritance."

"Is she an only child?" I asked.

"No, she isn't. Her parents also have several siblings. Anyway, their family is large, so she won't getmuch of the inheritance."
