CHAPTER 260
Philip glanced around, a hint of panic in his eyes. "Boss, someone is chasing me." He remembered how Miss Hutton had described his background as somewhat tragic, always mentioning that he was an orphan. Normally, such a background shouldn't attract trouble, right? He looked back and noticed two or threefigures in black clothing making their way toward them from across the street."My car is just over there. We need to go now."Thomas didn't bother to change the cake he was holding; he quickly headed towards his car. Philip hurriedly followed, jumping into the passenger seat. They sped off in the opposite direction. Through the rearview mirror, Philip could see that the figures were only about ten meters behind them, seemingly scanning the area. He could sense the tension radiating from the passenger seat. It was only after they had driven several blocks away that Thomas finally spoke up. "What's going on? Aren't you going to explain this to me?"Philip glanced in the rearview mirror
CHAPTER 259
Miss Hutton glanced at the recent message on her phone, instinctively curious about why her boss needed to speak with Kiara. After gathering her things, she headed toward the legal department. As her boss's personal assistant, she was often referred to as the invisible boss around the office. Most people might not know Thomas, but they definitely recognized Miss Hutton. "Hey, they say the Ward family is here. That can't be good news for you," Emily said, approaching with a teasing grin. Kiara shot her a glare. "Stop calling him 'boss.' I'm your team leader, and the real boss is elsewhere. If they're here, they're here. We're just a small team; we can't take on the big shots." Emily stuck out her tongue at Kiara's words, clearly amused. This woman was fiercely loyal to Marcus. Just then, there was a gentle commotion at the office door. Looking up, Kiara saw Miss Hutton standing there with a bright smile. Suddenly, it clicked for Kiara why everyone seemed reluctant to see Miss Hutt
CHAPTER 258
Thomas glanced at the rearview mirror, thinking that this woman was really persistent. Even though the old man had told her what was going on, she kept asking questions. He shook his head slightly. "It's just about finding something for me. Really, it's nothing serious. You don't need to worry about it.""Really?"Thomas rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Yes, really. More real than gold."Hearing his assurance, Solara nodded in understanding. She figured that a guy like Thomas, who seemed to lack ambition, probably had something minor to deal with, and he just needed a little help. After dropping Solara off at her place, Thomas hurried home. Ava, sitting in the passenger seat, looked tired as she stared out the window."I have a feeling this weekend is going to be a bust. After today's trip, my mom has made up her mind. What are we going to do about the hospital situation?"Thomas remembered that Solara was still sick and wondered what the hospital had said. "We're not really sure.Why d
CHAPTER 257
After a while, Stephen finally pushed the door open and looked at the two people, panting slightly."It's strange; this villa is so big that I couldn't find you two anywhere. I only heard someone say you were back." At the dining table, only Mr. Meyer and Thomas were still eating. Solara glanced over when she heard this, and the more she looked at the lawyer, the more she found him annoying."Really? I thought Mr. Stephen would have gotten to know this place inside and out by now."Stephen shot a look at Solara, surprised by her tone. What had he done to upset her? He wanted to say something, but in the end, he decided against it. After finishing the meal, quite a bit of time had passed, but Solara still had no clue about what she wanted to ask. Hecertainly wasn't going to leave like this."By the way, I remember Mom left behind a painting a while ago. I have a friend who organizes art exhibitions; maybe we should get it framed." It seemed he was trying to find an excuse to stay, and
CHAPTER 256
Thomas looked at the old man in front of him, deliberately searching around as if he were looking for something. He had been pushing the wheelchair for a while now without saying a word. He had been called away from the dinner table and traveled all this way to find something. There was no way he believed there was nothing suspicious going on."Did you find what you were looking for? If not, maybe we should head back," he suggested.After all the fuss, a lot of time had passed.Mr. Meyer turned his head to look at him."You really are different now. I must have been blind not to see that someone like you was hanging around Ava," he said, his tone unexpected. Thomas pondered the meaning behind his words. It felt a bit sudden. Could he have figured something out? But even if he did, Thomas wasn't worried. He looked straight at him and said, "You seem to have something on your mind. If you have an opinion about me, why not just say it directly?"Mr. Meyer shook his head slightly. "It's n
CHAPTER 255
She knew what her mother was worriedabout, feeling a mix of comfort and impatience. As she spoke, a wheelchair appeared, catching Solara’s attentionimmediately. At this moment, the only person who could arrive in such a manner had to be her father. Ava also noticed her mother'smovement, realizing that her grandfather had arrived. Watching him approach in the wheelchair stirred a complex mix ofemotions within her. She glanced at her mother, hoping that the tumor was benign and that a simple surgery would resolve everything.Thomas noticed Ava's sudden sadness and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. Ava found herself in a difficult position, torn between her feelings. As the wheelchair rolled closer, Mr. Meyer's features became more distinct.He looked relatively well; if it weren't for the wheelchair, no one would suspect he was ill.He scanned the four of them with a faint smile, while Ava’s heart raced with anxiety. She felt a strong reluctance to face the conversation tha
