17. She is different

Ryan shook hands with him and spoke, " Thanks for coming here Mr Hans. You are really a great help for me. "

Steven chuckled at his response and replied, " My pleasure Mr Williams. Afterall I am really touched after hearing your story. I mean nowadays true friends like you are really rare. "

"I hope you can find the culprit soon. Even though Charles was a Mafia leader, he was like my brother. This politics, power and money corrupted him. I wish I could have saved him." Ryan was disappointed at himself.

Even if Charles hated Ryan like his enemy, Ryan still cared about him. He was his best friend. He didn't want to lose him just like that. His heart was shattered after losing him.

Charles was the only one close to Ryan after his mother, but now he is also no more in this world. He lost everyone he had. How can anyone bear this much pain? He was broken from inside and he wanted to get justice for him no matter what!

Steven was really impressed after knowing how great their friendship was, so he decided to take this case personally. Not only because of that but also because Ryan was the son of Sebastian Williams.

"Mr Williams, do not lose your hope! I'm here now, I will surely get justice for your friend! " Steven consoled him and smirked inwardly. "Mr Williams, you could have found the culprit a long time ago with your fathers help right? So why didn't you do it?"

Steven hit the right spot! He wanted to find out more about the father-son relationship of Williams family. Afterall there was a rumour that the Williams family is not united so it was easy for their enemies to attack them.

Even though Steven was helping Ryan, he was also one of the enemies of Sebastian Williams. He wanted his downfall but he wasn't one of those persons who backstab others.

"I think Mr Hans is more interested in my family than the case! " Ryan raised his eyebrow and asked him. He knew that Steven was not fully trustable but he had no choice.

Steven smiled at him and said, "Don't worry Mr Williams. I will not betray you. My enemy is Sebastian Williams, not you. So don't think too much. I just wanted to know whether his son(Ryan) is also like his father or not! "

Ryan asked him, "So what did you find out? '' Steven took Ryan's hand and said, "I'm glad that Mr Ryan is very different from his father. You have a good heart. Don't let it spoil. I hope you will not follow your fathers footsteps. "

Ryan took his hand and placed it on top of Steven's hand. "You don't have to worry about that Mr Hans. I know what to do and what not to do. " Both of them were staring at each other. There was a great aura coming from both of them.

Soon Mia came and saw Steven and Ryan staring at each other. Her eyes twitched after seeing Steven Hans standing in front of him. She couldn't believe that Ryan really called him for help.

She looked at Ryan and went towards him. She stood beside him facing Steven. When Steven saw her, he noticed something strange about her. He was not able to see through her.

It was his first time when he was not able to see through a person. He could not guess whether she was innocent or cunning. Her face looked naive but her innocent eyes were not innocent as they looked.

She was staring at him with a confused and worried look. She was holding Ryan's arm like she was protecting him from him. When Ryan noticed that, he felt warmness in his heart.

He thought, 'Is she worried for me? She is here to protect me! Does she also care about me? I... no! I don't have the time to think about it. I have to take care of this matter first! '

Ryan caressed Mia's hand and gave a smile indicating her not to worry. Mia nodded at him and sighed. Steven could tell that she didn't like him.

"So, is this Miss Mia Smith? " Steven asked her extending his hand offering her a hand shake. She accepted it and replied, "Nice to meet you Mr Steven Hans. I heard a lot about you. It's such a great opportunity to meet you "

Steven felt something different while meeting her! Even though she looked like a normal person, he could tell that something is more about her. He smirked at his thoughts...
