The Vision:
“No," Harry exclaimed as he stood, his chair sliding back with a screech. "I’m trying to caution you. Drop it, Justin. Remove his name from your mind. Don't investigate where you can't foresee the repercussions."Claire’s eyes widened. She looked between the two men, Justin with a red face and obvious anger barely restrained, and Harry, looking far too calm than seemed appropriate.“Do you expect me to keep quiet while you mingle with other people at the risk of my family?”“‘Breathe,’” Harry said, somberly. “I think you are struggling with something inside of you. You came prepared, despite the circumstances, to a chess board, old man. There is no one in my circle of fools. He is... known, by those who matter.” “I demand,” Justin began.“You don't demand anything,” Harry cut in sharply. “I'd like to suggest that you leave my house, Mr. Styles.” Justin froze. Claire gasped.“Pardon?”“All ears,” This dinner is over. The servants will show you out.""But—“ Claire began."Leave." Har
Dinner With The Hades:
The Hades mansion looks as if it is a sleeping beast because of its understated beauty.It balanced between attractiveness and danger and fundamentally finished taking some getting used to.It possessed something Claire who was on the move as well amethyst escorted car. Getting a whiff of that shaw. set her gaze toward Coen's carved pillars bordering them both of which rose large enough to give room to a regal entrance. Justin, as stoic as a statue, came after bearing eyebrows crunched, head surveying the place like an army sniper on hostile grounds.The butler, with a name tag on his left breast Jeff, opened the door without a single creak and instead bowed to the pair.Once the style siblings clacked towards him, the umbrella donned and M shaped mouth lenses flashed. Mr and Miss styles.Master Harry has been anticipating it for quite some time. Jeff accompanied them strolling alongside the marble art chains decorated with marble corridors assuming matched adjective swords exposing
He Could Be Useful:
When the aide walked out, Claire reclined towards him once more. “What sparked the sudden interest in this stranger, Grandfather? Didn’t you have more important things to deal with?” Justin’s focus was still on her for a while, but after a moment he returned to his chair, which he occupied with a heavy sigh. “Exactly. Because of Oklahoma.” Claire raised a brow. “What does Leonard have to do with it?” Justin tapped his index finger on the desk. “A storm is rolling in, Claire. Not just politically, but economically, socially. It all changes. The people who notice the shift early on are the ones who survive it.” She tilted her head, “And Leonard… is one of those patterns?” “He doesn’t belong in the class he came from, not anymore. With the way he carries himself, along with the respect he commands, those aren’t things you fake. That’s earned.” Claire frowned. “But his past” “Means nothing to me if he can shape the future,” Justin interrupted.A taut silence followed aft
Confronting The Hades:
As Claire stepped into the Styles estate study, the polished double doors creaked open to let in the sun's golden rays which lit up the polished mahogany desk where Justin Styles waited. “Sit down Claire,” he ordered. Claire adjusted her skirt and sat on the chair confronting her grand father. “You asked for me, Grandfather?”A slight nod didn't fail to maintain the weighty silence that was already filled with so much anticipation.A sigh left Clarke’s mouth silently.At last he is looking up rang her internal thoughts while he steepled his fingers in front of himself. Oh my days, the patriarch looked very much like a statue if statues were capable of capturing human emotions. Silencers exploded into her peripheral until all she could focus on was the shockingly shiny hair that loosened under the tight clip Justin wore while looking at everyone in the room apart from Claire, her grandfather.Now she understood the combination of all my family’s worst manifestations scattered in on
A Private Investigation:
She wasn’t the only one scanning the room.His grandfather, Justin arrived in a tailored navy suit, his presence confident yet predatory. His eyes darted through the glittering crowd until they landed on a tall figure in a charcoal suit standing beside the grand piano.Leonard.He wasn’t speaking, only listening intensely to a woman droning about oil shares. His expression was unreadable, cool, but not disinterested. The perfect mask.Claire edged closer to the same orbit, pretending to admire a nearby sculpture. She watched the subtle exchanges, the way Leonard held himself with quiet authority.Justin made his move."Mr. Leonard," he said, stepping forward with a warm smile and an extended hand. "Justin Styles. I’ve been hoping to meet you."Leonard's sharp gaze turned toward him slowly, the blue in his eyes almost glacial. "Styles of Caldwell Enterprises.""You’ve heard of me. I’m flattered.""Flattery is often a prelude to ambition."Justin laughed lightly. "Then I suppose I’m gui
Unveiling The Enigma:
You're asking about Leonard?” Roman looked at Claire in a rather strange way while sipping his wine. His countenance was sour but because he was speaking to dignified woman he tried to keep his feelings at bay.“Leonard is just a poor loser, Ms. Claire you don’t have to bother about him at all,” he said with a small smile.Claire stared back at him blankly. “If he was a loser there was no way Mr. Hades would have been startled by his sight and also he wouldn’t have had the power to throw you out of the party.”Faced with Claire’s accusation, Roman’s face turned red. The humiliation he had suffered at the party still rang in his mind. Leonard was a jinx, on earth only to ruin him, he thought.Roman leaned back on his chair. “Ms. Claire, that was merely a slight confusion. Your sudden interest in Leonard is intriguing. Did that lowly bastard annoy you?”“I didn’t call you here to ask about that actually or exchange words with you, Mr Reigns. All I want is for you to tell me what you kno
