Chapter 1056

Beck was genuinely worried that his family would blame him if anything bad happened to Judith. After

all, he couldn’t control his little sister anymore. Everyone knew that she was the prized gem of the

family, especially in their mother's eyes, who would willingly place her on a pedestal.

If something bad really happened to her, the whole town of Greenfield would be in turmoil.

And then there was the issue of Ian, who was quite the menace.

Without wasting another second, he dialed Dylan Sanders, his eldest brother.

An icy voice came through the other end, "Yes?"

Hearing his voice, Beck felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Bro, you need to come to Greenfield."

"Did you mess up again?"

"It's actually Judith who's stirring up trouble this time. She's going crazy over Ian. Remember when you

told me not to mess with Ian? Judith is trampling all over his boundaries and he just called at this late

hour to warn me."

There was a moment of silence on Dylan's end before he finally asked,

"Is Judith dating him?"

"Yep, but the thing is, Ian has a girl he likes. Everyone knows about her."

"Who's the girl?"

"She's not from a big family. Her background is a bit complicated, but Ian's head over heels for her."

And Beck found Maja quite likable, but he dared not to say it aloud.

Dylan was silent again for a while before finally saying, "I'll try to come over soon. Mom misses Judith

too."

"Bro, please hurry."

After hanging up, Beck again reminded Judith not to make any rash decisions. Otherwise, when Dylan

arrived, she would definitely be in for a punishment.

Meanwhile, in North America.

Dylan stared at the family photo in front of him, his finger gently tracing over it.

Judith was the frailest in their family. As a child, she was always sick with high fevers, causing

everyone to worry about her all the time.

Even though she was somewhat spoiled and willful, she was still his little sister and he needed to

protect her at all costs.

Their blood ties were undeniable.

Their mother was extremely doting towards her. Whenever Judith had a dispute with someone, their

mother would always take Judith's side.

He rubbed his temples as the phone beside him rang again. A gentle voice came through,

"Dylan, I'm planning to go to Greenfield. I'm constantly worried about Judith's health."

It was their mother's voice.

Their mother was the person who loved Judith the most in the world.

Dylan flipped through the documents in front of him.

"Mom, Judith has had a professional medical team taking care of her these past few years. The doctors

say her health has improved a lot. There's no need to worry about her health at this point."

"How can I not worry? I can't even sleep well at night."

"Mom, I'll be making a trip to Greenfield soon. I have a meeting now."

"Alright, I won't disturb you."

After hanging up, Dylan continued to work overtime, but an hour later, he received another call, and

that time it was from his father.

For some time, his father had been delegating all matters to him. Although his father had always been

hands-off, Dylan felt that he was at that point even more so, as if he was preoccupied with something

else.

"Dad."

The man on the other end coughed before asking, "Did you meet the Herrington family when you were

in Greenfield last time?"

A deep look crossed Dylan's eyes. The last time he was in Greenfield, Beck had mentioned that theirnovelbin

father wanted him to quickly penetrate that circle.

What was their father's real intention for having Beck do that?

"You mean Phelps Herrington? I don't know him well."

"Dylan, be more vigilant if you go to Greenfield again."

"Dad, I don't understand what you mean."

The man seemed to hesitate before finally sighing,

"Just be more aware of your surroundings."

Dylan looked at the pile of documents in front of him, and then at his assistant beside him.

"Book me a flight to Greenfield for tomorrow."

"Of course, Mr. Sanders."
