CHAPTER 267
Solara looked at the other person's agreeing tone and the address they sent, and she felt a glimmer of hope. Earlier, she had worried that since they rarely contacted each other, it might be awkward to bring this up out of the blue. Jack, standing nearby, watched her as she prepared to head out. He felt uneasy about her decision to visit someone at such a critical moment. She had been thinking about her internship starting in the afternoon, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something might go wrong along the way."Are you really going alone? How welcoming do you think they'll be? I remember that family doesn't think much of you," he said, trying to voice his concern."What do you mean they don't think much of me? We're all family here; who's to say who's more important? Anyway, they agreed to it, so zip it with your negativity," Solara shot back, her temper flaring. Jack wisely decided to keep quiet and let her handle it on her own.As she was about to leave, Solara suddenly look
CHAPTER 266
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
CHAPTER 265
"It looks like someone sent you an unpleasant text. I hope it's not from those people again."The child didn't think much of it. She kepther gaze fixed on Thomas, a deep sense of helplessness welling up from within her. "You're clearly different, and you're so talented. Why can't some people see that?"Thomas felt uneasy at Ava’s sudden compliment. She must have seen something about him, and checking her phone had unintentionally invaded his privacy."Not everyone is like you, who can see my worth even at a party," he replied. Hadn't Ava held a similar view for a long time?Now that she had survived, Thomas felt indifferent to their conversation. If Solara caught wind of this, she would probably be furious, especially after seeing the text from her daughter."You think Thomas has enchanted that girl? I've tried so hard to talk sense into her, and she tells me to mind my own business. As if I care!" Jack rolled his eyes in frustration. His daughterhad been through quite a few setba
CHAPTER 264
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
CHAPTER 263
Philip felt that something was off between the two of them, but he couldn't quite grasp what it was. Lawrence glanced at his subordinate beside him, his tone sharp."Didn't I tell you to take him straight to the Villa? Why are you still hanging around here?"The subordinate stepped closer and whispered a few words in Lawrence's ear. Lawrence's expression changed instantly. Facing Philip, he realized he was dealing with a real headache."The plan has changed unexpectedly.You'll be staying with me for the next few days, and I'll handle everything as the boss instructed." Philip sensed that something was wrong. He hesitated before nodding, feeling uncertain about following Lawrence. It seemedThere were some dangerous elements at play."Actually, Lawrence, if you have things to take care of, you don't need to worry about me.I can find a place to stay on my own." He thought about the recent fallout with the boss and how it might lead to trouble. He didn't want to create more complicatio
CHAPTER 262
"Did you hear that? Right now, I'm like a big brother giving you a guarantee. Don't worry about it," Thomas said, trying to lighten the mood with a bit of humor, noticing that Philip really didn't seem happy at all."Thanks, boss. Thank you, Lawrence," Philip replied, feeling a bit lost for words. At this point, he had already shown his most vulnerable side, and facing his boss made it even harder. He was grateful that Lawrence was willing to help him.With Lawrence's repeated reassurances, Philip felt a bit more at ease about his situation."It's getting late, and I need to pretend to leave work like everyone else," Thomas said, a statement that didn't surprise either of them, as they both understood the pressures of his position. Lawrence looked at his boss, realizing that their meeting was rare and mostly focused on this issue. He felt it was a bit of a waste of time. He shot Thomas a couple of meaningful glances, thinking he couldn't just let him walk away like this. There were st
