100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 808  I Want Answers

"Supreme Leader… The traitor is… Butler Li."

Nathan couldn\'t believe his ears. The traitor was the person he had never ever doubted even once. Butler Li had been serving the Sparks Family for more than two decades now. How could he betray him and his family? For what reasons?

"Are you sure about this, Axel?" Nathan asked in his stern cold voice, disbelief evident in his eyes.

Axel nodded to confirm it. He had a serious look on his face. He knew that this truth was hard to accept for Nathan. He had to admit that he was also shocked beyond belief after finding out the identity of the traitor.

"Do you have proof?" Nathan clenched his fists, still conditioning himself to absorb the truth.

Axel handed him a tablet. Then he showed him some video recordings.

"The day when your father, Chairman Xu, went to our medical facilities to submit the DNA samples, Butler Li was there. The missing samples were taken by Butler Li."

Nathan tightened his grip on the tablet as he watched the recordings.

"And the day the company\'s system got hacked and was shut down… Butler Li was also in the building. He managed to enter the control room. He was the one who deactivated our virus defender… and our security system had been compromised."

Nathan gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. Butler Li\'s betrayal was confirmed. He was the mole… Vincent\'s spy.

After his long silence, Nathan finally spoke up. "Let\'s go. We need to catch him."

Axel nodded in understanding. They had to move now while Butler Li was still unguarded. He was still clueless that his secret had been revealed.

At Sparks Mansion…

"Uncle Li, what are you cooking?" Ethan asked the butler. He was sitting in the countertop while watching Butler Li moved across the kitchen.

"Your favorite, young master! I want to cheer you up today." Butler Li knew that the Sparks Mansion had been gloomy since the news of Jane and Vincent\'s wedding came out.

"Young master, are you still sad?" He simply asked the boy as he mixed the ingredients in the boiling pot.

Ethan nodded. "Yes. I\'m sad for my Dad. He has been skipping meal. He locked himself in his study room, drowning himself in alcohol. I told him that everything would be fine but still, he wasn\'t comforted by my words at all."

The young boy heaved a deep sigh.

Butler Li smiled at him faintly as he covered the boiling pot. Then he turned to face Ethan, stroking his hair.

"I\'m glad that my young master is very brave, strong, and optimistic. Just keep comforting your father. He needs you now more than ever. He is more heartbroken as compared before when Miss Abigail recovered her memories and chose Dave." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Because Mommy Jane is his one true love. Not Miss Abigail and not my mother." Ethan stated matter-of-factly.

Butler Li fell silent for a moment. There was a glint in his eyes when he thought about Ethan\'s biological mother.

"Uncle Li, can I ask you a question?" Ethan looked at him expectantly.

"Sure, young master. What do you want to know?" Butler Li was now all ears on Ethan.

"About Uncle Vincent… why does he want to take everything away from my Dad? I want to get close to him since he is my Dad\'s brother. But he keeps picking a fight on my Dad. Why does he hate Dad, Grandpa, and me?"

Butler Li had conflicted feelings when he heard that. He didn\'t know how he would explain the root of Vincent\'s hatred toward the Sparks Family.

"Young master, I don\'t think your Uncle Vincent hate you." That\'s the only things he could tell Ethan. He knew that despite Ethan being Nathan\'s son, Vincent didn\'t harbor hatred toward the child.

Vincent was the one who took care of Ethan when he was born, treating him like his own son. But he had to admit that Vincent didn\'t hesitate to use Ethan for his revenge. Because of Ethan, Monica was able to return to Nathan\'s life. Then more schemes and more lies happened. Butler Li was also responsible for those lies. He was the ultimate accomplice that ruined Jane and Nathan\'s relationship!

"But Uncle Li, Uncle Vincent tried to kill me when his men used me as a threat to blackmail Mommy Jane. I don\'t think he likes me either. He doesn\'t care about me getting hurt or getting killed. He just wanted to win against Dad by stealing my Mommy Jane." Ethan pursed his lips, feeling a little bit sad.

Butler Li could only sigh helplessly. "I\'m sorry about that, young master."

"Huh? Why are you apologizing to me, Uncle Li? You didn\'t do anything wrong." Ethan blinked in amusement.

"I was not there to protect you," Butler Li replied, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

"It\'s alright, Uncle Li. Mommy sacrificed herself for me. She saved me. But next time, if I get into trouble again, I hope Mommy won\'t have to sacrifice herself for me. I want to protect her myself," Ethan declared with conviction.

Butler Li smiled at Ethan\'s sincere words. He could see the determination in the young boy\'s eyes.

They were still having aconversation when someone suddenly dragged Ethan away from Butler Li. "Butler Li, come with me. We need to talk." Nathan\'s sudden arrival interrupted the two.

"Dad?" Ethan glanced at his father, feeling confused.

The young boy was surprised to see Axel and Nathan together. Something was off with their expressions. Five guards were standing behind Axel and Nathan.

"Dad, where have you been? I thought you were in your study room. Why Uncle Axel and the guards are here?"

Butler Li also watched them, puzzled. "Did something big happen again today?"

Instead of answering Ethan\'s query, Nathan commanded the boy. "Ethan, go to your room." Sensing the seriousness in his father\'s tone, Ethan stepped out of the kitchen.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Butler Li asked him.

But Nathan immediately signaled for the guards to capture Butler Li. Within seconds, the guards sprang into action, surrounding the butler. Butler Li\'s eyes widened in shock, but he didn\'t resist as they closed in on him, gripping his arms firmly.

"Take him to the storage room now," Nathan ordered, his voice cold and authoritative. The guards began to escort Butler Li out of the kitchen. Nathan and Axel followed them behind.

Butler Li glanced back at Nathan with confusion in his eyes. "Master Nathan, what is the meaning of this?" he asked.

Nathan stepped forward, his expression hardening. "You know exactly why this is happening. Your betrayal won\'t go unpunished. You\'ve crossed the line, and now you must face the consequences."

Butler Li was dumbfounded when he heard that. His face turned pale and his body froze.

\'He finally found out that I\'m the traitor.\' Butler Li smiled bitterly.

He didn\'t try to resist. He just obediently walked toward the storage room. As they entered, the guards handcuffed Butler Li\'s hands, making him sit on a chair.

"Wait outside," Nathan told the five guards. The guards immediately headed out. Nathan and Axel were left behind to confront Butler Li.

"Butler Li, I want answers. I hope you will cooperate," Nathan said while eyeing Butler Li meaningfully.
