C291: Hand It Over
The crowd parted to reveal the new intruder. Iris' eyes trembled slightly as her frown deepened. The moment she saw the elderly man being helped forward, a trace of disbelief crossed her face."Grandfather?" Her voice carried a mixture of confusion and displeasure. "Why are you here?"Grandfather Blackwell was being led toward her by Victor and Catherine. The moment her eyes landed on them, her expression hardened.She didn't need to ask who had brought him here. Victor and Catherine had clearly gone to fetch the old patriarch after realizing that they could not force her to surrender Raven & Radiance themselves.The elderly patriarch stopped before her, his walking cane firmly gripped in one hand. His face was livid, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger."You brat!" He pointed his cane directly at Iris. "You intentionally accused Miss Rossi, seriously damaging the relationship between the Harrington family and our family. Do you have any idea what kind of consequences your
C290: Cover The Sky
"Why?" Iris frowned slightly, a wary expression appearing on her face. "What is he doing here?" But Bobby didn't answer her question. Instead, he simply gestured toward the reception area. "Please come with me and have a look." There was something unusual about his expression that immediately made Iris uneasy. She didn't ask again. A few minutes later, they arrived at the reception area. Before they even stepped outside, they could clearly hear Tristan's arrogant voice coming from the front entrance. "Bankrupt Raven & Radiance!" Iris' frown deepened. She quickened her footsteps and walked out. The moment she saw the scene before her, her eyes widened. Tristan Harrington wasn't alone. Standing beside him was Raymond Aldridge, while several other officials and representatives stood behind them. There were representatives from the Quality and Standards Bureau. Officials from the city's health center were also present. Even several firefighters had come. Seeing so many different au
C289: I Know Someone...
The butler's hopeful expression immediately faded when Augustus Laurent slowly shook his head. "I'm afraid not."The words shattered the elderly butler's last hope. He had been desperately hoping that Augustus might have an answer. After all, the latter was already regarded as one of the most accomplished physicians in the region. If even he couldn't cure Gerald, then what hope was left?Just as Veyron had predicted, Gerald's condition wasn't a simple case of anorexia or poor appetite. The other physicians had been wrong from the beginning.The butler's shoulders slumped as he glanced toward his master."What do we do now?" His voice trembled. "I can't just stand by and watch Master die like this."The sadness in his eyes was impossible to conceal. He had been only slightly older than Gerald when he was first brought into the Cromwell family.Back then, Gerald had been young, energetic, and full of ambition. Despite their difference in status, Gerald had never treated him like the so
C288: Can You Save Him?
After Raymond Aldridge finished writing the prescription for Gerald Cromwell, he left the villa with Tristan Harrington.Although the butler still had his doubts about Raymond's treatment, he had no choice but to follow the physician's instructions for the time being. He took the prescription and handed it to one of the servants."Hey, you two!" he called out to a pair of servants rushing past. "Take this to the apothecary immediately. Make sure they follow the prescription exactly. Do not allow them to alter anything on the note.""Yes, Butler." The two servants respectfully accepted the prescription before hurrying away.The butler watched them disappear down the corridor before turning his attention back toward Gerald's room.Raymond had confidently claimed that Gerald would regain consciousness after the acupuncture treatment. He had even insisted that they wait twenty-four hours, or perhaps several days, for the effects to take place.Yet something about the entire situation con
C287: Doubts & Suspicions
"Master Aldridge." Tristan's voice suddenly broke through the conflicting thoughts running through Raymond's mind. "How is Master Cromwell?"A faint frown appeared on Tristan's face. Raymond had been examining Gerald for quite some time, yet he still hadn't begun the treatment.Could the situation be worse than he had expected? Could Gerald's condition have already reached the point where even Raymond couldn't save him?For the first time, a trace of uneasiness appeared in Tristan's heart."It's nothing to worry about." Raymond raised his head calmly.There was no panic in his expression, nor was there any sign of uncertainty. He maintained the composed demeanor of an experienced physician."I will begin the treatment now."Tristan visibly relaxed. So he had been worried for nothing. He nodded immediately. "Please, begin."The old butler also sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. I knew that with Master Aldridge here, my master could definitely be saved."Raymond forced a modest smile. H
C286: Chaos
Unexpectedly, the next morning, the beautiful and luxurious villa, located on a secluded piece of land on the outskirts of Highmont, was thrown into chaos.Servants could be seen rushing through the corridors in panic, their hurried footsteps echoing throughout the magnificent residence. The usually peaceful atmosphere had completely disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming sense of unrest. Everyone looked tense and worried.And the reason was simple.Early that morning, Patriarch Gerald Cromwell had been having a hearty breakfast. His appetite had even returned, and he was casually making small talk with his elderly butler—something he had rarely been able to do during the years of his illness.But halfway through the meal, everything suddenly changed. Gerald had abruptly struggled to breathe.Before anyone could react, he began vomiting uncontrollably, bringing up everything he had just eaten. His condition quickly deteriorated, and before long, he was even coughing up blood.The s
