Thomas returned home and spent quite a while tidying up, looking visibly unsettled. He had to admit that Lawrence's words had affected him; David’s attitude toward him was indeed different. During his toughest times, the old butler had been a source of comfort, but now he was suggesting that he might be the one to betray Thomas. That was somethinghe couldn't bring himself to believe. He would rather think it was the harsh circumstances that were forcing him to feel this way.After all, he had been betrayed by those closest to him before, with his father's betrayal hitting the hardest. Based on that experience, it was hard to dismiss the idea that even a loyal old butler could turn against him. As he wrestled with these thoughts, Ava came home. She looked at the empty table and realized it was the first time she had returned to a meal-less house."Are you exhausted?" she asked, not wanting to blame him. "You got back early today. At this hour, let's not bother cooking. How about we or

Jack couldn't help but find it a bit amusing to see her so flustered."I told you this wouldn't work. You might as well talk to your daughter directly about it.""Did you have your eyes closed back then?Didn't you see the text I sent? I already talked to him about it." She was clearly venting her frustration on herself, and Jack wisely chose to stay silent, not wanting to confront her directly.Given that her health might be affected by the illness, it seemed pointless to dwell on it further.Solara paced back and forth, trying to figure out what to do next. She was currently on the phone with her father, and knowing his temperament, he probably wouldn't answer. He'd likely find her annoying for calling him repeatedly. But with Monday approaching, all the relevant documents for the contract werealready finalized, and making last-minute changes wouldn't be easy."Do you think we should check in with the old man today or tomorrow to see if thereare any other issues?"Jack found Solar

Facing the constant gaze and silent warnings from Solara, Thomas chose to ignore her. After all, he had come along with her, and he didn't want to make things more difficult. Considering Ava’s advice and the fact that this woman had her own agenda, he decided that now was not the time to leave."I told you, just take care of your own business. You can pick me up from the hospital later," Solara repeated, her patience wearing thin.Beside her, Robison and his mother exchanged strange looks. It was clear they hadn't agreed on this from the start.But then again, it was surprising enough that they both came in together. Everyone knew how much Solara disliked her son-in- law and how she avoided spending time with him."Please, go ahead with what you need to do. I really don't mind waiting here for you," Thomas insisted, clinging to his words. Nancy felt a wave of frustration; what was wrong with him? Couldn't he see the situation clearly?The hints had been dropped heavily, yet he still r

"Three Aunts, let's sort this out. Even if I did provoke those people, they would have come straight for me. Why drag him into this?"Robison spoke calmly, but the person across from him was clearly agitated."I'm here precisely because I don't understand. You need to explain to me why this happened," she insisted."Even without me, my cousin would have still gotten into trouble. The first time, he flirted with a girl and ended up breaking a necklace worth millions. Did he mention that to you? As for the second time, I wasn't there, but think about it- was stuck in the hospital recovering while he was out partying at a bar."These were things her son had never mentioned to her. Zach tried to paint himself in a better light, omitting certain details. Hearing this from her son felt like a thunderbolt to her ears, leaving her in disbelief."Three Aunts, a lot of this is his own doing.If you're looking for answers from me, you probably won't find any." Dealing with someone like his aunt,

The arrival of this person made their goal clear: they needed to get proof, and they hurried to the underground parking lot."Are you sure? If we go through all this trouble and end up with the wrong person, it'll be a total waste." The assistant was a bit skeptical about Drake's reliability. He waved his hand dismissively, glancing at the expensive cars parked outside."Driving such an expensive car is one thing, but at least he chose a low-key model. With all the enthusiastic employees around, it's obvious he's not just a boss-he's a super-rich guy. It's likely their identities overlap, so that person must be him."Once they entered, things went surprisingly smoothly. As time passed, more people began to trickle in, creating an atmosphere that was neither too crowded nor too quiet.Yet, he still couldn't spot the person he was looking for. Perhaps someone noticed their obvious searching; at this time, with only a few people around, a few individuals dressed in black started to appro
