Chapter 262
Not to seem defeated too quickly, Edmund had to stomach this pain even though it was tearing his stomach mercilessly.Then, he answered Roderick. "Haha! I understand your tricks. You must be really afraid of my entourage, so you're scared and want to know if they're close by before you trespass. Could that mean you are really afraid of being beaten up by them?"Eh!What a pity!Roderick couldn't believe that this was the only thought that had come into Edmund's mind.Well, he wasn't very surprised about it. After all, once a fool always a fool. For that, he just had to let him display more of his foolishness.Edmund spoke up right away. "As for my entourage, I assigned them to handle some assignments for me, and they are earning handsomely."Roderick wondered who had asked him for the unnecessary news he was casting.Edmund stared at Roderick more disgustedly and said, "Yes, they are earning handsomely and living very well, unlike you, whose life is in shambles."The celebrity herbali

The cab in which Roderick had just been highlighted had already driven past him before he raised his head to look at who had just shouted in the distance.Even though he never cared about whoever it was, the voice still sounded quite familiar to him.Upon seeing who it was—Edmund Ash—Roderick’s lips only curled up slightly in irritation. The image of how the senseless elderly man had embarrassed himself at the rare herbs auction the other day appeared in his mind.Noticing that Edmund’s steady eyes were staring at him now, Roderick already knew he was about to cause trouble again. Given that he had no time for whatever nonsense might be on Edmund’s mind, Roderick ignored him completely.Ah!This piqued the celebrity herbalist’s anger. He couldn’t believe that Roderick really wanted to ignore him.Roderick was the scapegoat heaven had sent him to vent his anger on. How could he think he would escape?Since Edmund had a grudge against Roderick from before, he refused to sell the sunston

A few days later, on a sunny afternoon, around 1:30 PM, a man was seen trying to enter a luxurious restaurant called Secrets and Savour but was stopped by the security officers at the entrance.This man was none other than Edmund Ash.Secrets and Savour was a well-known restaurant owned by the York family. The restaurant was famous for being the go-to place for the influential folks of Glacia City to hold meetings.This was because whatever was discussed in the restaurant stayed there and never left the walls, let alone reached the ears of a third party.Also, the restaurant was known to be the best spot in Glacia City to enjoy well-savored dishes.This is how it got its name: Secrets and Savour.Why was Edmund Ash trying to get into the restaurant? It was for no other reason than to meet with Jacob York, who was currently inside.He had some good news to share with him, but the security officers at the entrance never gave him the chance to step inside the restaurant.Edmund tried to

"I learned that the people trying to kidnap you the other day haven't given up yet, and they would be around Glacia City, watching out for you in the meantime. I advise you to take your security more into consideration this time."Roderick was actually talking about Don Julio. After Shadow had informed him about his availability in the city at this time, he hadn't had the chance to discuss things with Kate.That was why he quickly made it known to her now.However, Kate's face lit up in surprise. She couldn't believe that Roderick was still really watching out for her.She quickly realized that, for Roderick to be very conscious about her safety, it really meant he must have some feelings for her in his mind.Of course, you wouldn't want anything tragic to happen to someone you have a tingling feeling for in your heart.Even though Roderick was just issuing this warning based on the information that reached him, without any other thoughts attached to it, Kate still found hope that Rod

Around 7 p.m. the next day, Kate Bolton was seen sitting quietly opposite Roderick Holmes at a VIP private restaurant.On the table between them were expensive wines.After Roderick took a sip of his wine, he turned to look at Kate, whose demeanor had remained between quietness and shyness.This wasn't the first time they had been in a private room together. What could be the reason behind her shyness?Roderick couldn't help but ask her, "Miss Bolton, you have been so quiet. Is there something on your mind bothering you?"Kate slowly raised her head to look at Roderick. Of course, there was.She felt so embarrassed with herself at this moment for assuming Roderick was sleeping around with women when he was only busy with serious matters.That was a very dirty thought to have about a saint."I'm very sorry for assuming you were someone you are not, Mr. Holmes." This statement slowly slipped from Kate's mouth, feeling remorseful. She looked quite worried and unhappy at this moment.This
Chapter 257
Caleb was in the midst of silence, panicking about his daughter's health issue when she suddenly threw a question at him."Dad, for you to be investigating this matter, does it mean you have any plan to attack Roderick Holmes again?"Caleb was dumbfounded to hear such a question from his daughter.Of course, yes? Didn’t she expect him to avenge all the suffering Roderick had made her go through?"Put your mind to rest, Margaret. I will surely make Roderick regret kidnapping you in the first place."Caleb said this to put his daughter's mind at ease. He felt she must be afraid of going through another rollercoaster of problems if he attacked Roderick again.However, Margaret made things clear to her father. "I advise you to back off from any plan you may have against him. This is because he's not someone you can go head-to-head with."It was as if Caleb were hearing things. He couldn't believe his own daughter was telling him to back off from attacking Roderick.Besides, his intention
