Chapter 17 He Just Wants to Know Whether Solana Is His
Percy didn’t move, but in the next second, a kick from the other man sent him sprawling to the floor.
Olive grabbed the opportunity to scramble upright, clutching her stomach as she crouched in place, her head raised to look at the man standing in front of her. Under the dim lighting, she could see that the man was dressed in black, ending a sense of dominance that naturally came to someone in power. His deep, sharp eyes also radiated an unconscious, stifling presence
The pain from the luck seemed to jolt Perry back to his senses ever so slightly. He raised his head, only to find Cedric Smart, the eldest son of the Stratusville Smarts.
“Mr. Smart, what brings you here?”
But code didn’t answer him. His piercing gaze merely fell on Percy, and that was enough to scare the latter so much that he scrambled to his feet and fled
Sering, Percy take off, Olive braced herself against the wall and slowly stood up. She looked at the man in front of her and gave him a small smile.
“Thank you, sir!”
No need to thank me. I just couldn’t stand the sight of it,” Cedric answered with a nonchalant smile before tuming to leave.
Sylvie, who had heard the news, roshed over to find a deathly pale Olive. She hurriedly ran over to help her stand up.
“Snowdrop, are you okay?
Olive tumed to look at Sylvie and offered hera smile. Only then did Sylvie notice all the blood on Olive’s face and the cash on her forehead.
“Are you some you’re okay, Snowdrop?”
“I’m fine, Sylvie,” Olive answered as she stood up, but the pain coursing through her body made her tremble so much that she nearly collapsed again.
Sylvie couldn’t bear to watch Olive struggle, so she quiddy reached out to steady her. One Olive regained her looting, she turned to Sylvie, and a grateful smile broke out across her pale face.
“Thank you, Sylviel
“Snowdrop, your face is covered in blood. Are you sure you’re okay? Why don’t I go to the hospital with you so you can get checked out?
Sylvie noticed how Olive could barely stand upright, so she naturally didn’t believe her claim that she was fine. How could she be fine when she had been beaten to such an extend?
If Cedric hadn’t helped her just now, who knew how badly Perry would have toured her?
Olive shook her head. “Sylvie, L..”
But before she could fish her sentence, everything went black, and she collapsed to the floor.
Meanwhile, in Toraville, the Horton mansion appeared especially solemn and somber at night.
Trevor sat in his chair in the study. Standing in front of him was Gavin, whereas Connor sat on the other side as usual.
Gavin stood respectfully before him. He had already looked into the matters Trevor had instructed him to Investigate, but there were still many unanswered questions. It was as if someone had purposefully erased all traces, not wanting anyone to dig into them
“Gavin, should be questioning your competence? Trevor asked, his eyes nanowing coldly.
Gavin had worked under Trevor for so long that he naturally knew his temper well, and so he didn’t date withhold anything.
with a trembling voice, Gavin explained, “Mr. Horton, I’ve already looked into the matters you asked me to investigate. Ms. Swanson discovered that she was pregnant about a month after she went to prison she tried contacting your many times, but you refused to take her calls
“And she went through a tough time these past five years in prison, often getting beaten and
But before Gavin could fall, Trevorcut him off coldly.
“I’m not interested in how she’s born You should low that only asked you to look into her matters because I want to know whether the child she was carrying is of my bloodline, and whether she gave birth to it successfully. Got it?
Connor couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle when he heard this. It appeared that Trevor’s
