“Alright, then… Horace, you’ve seen Brady grow up. You know his character. Without someone

pushing his buttons, he wouldn’t stoop to this.

Derek confirmed that the last time Miss Chavez visited Violetholt, Brady was openly hostile. I checked

the surveillance footage and discovered that Brady coincidentally met Miss Rivera just before the

incident. They were together this time too.

I’m curious why Miss Rivera singled out Sabrina. Turns out, not too long ago, she was caught stealing

Sabrina’s photography work, and she even issued a public apology online. Maybe there’s some

lingering resentment there.

Horace, I shouldn’t have said this. But Sierra’s not really part of the Fowler clan. Keeping her in the

Fowler family will only spell trouble sooner or later.

We go way back, Horace. Remember when our fathers were alive, and my dad took me to the Fowler

family, and I had to go back home without a stitch of clothing? My mom still teases me about that.

Anyway, it warms my heart to see Brady and Blayze growing up together… Horace, you know how

much my brother and sister-in-law adore Brady. Let’s not let an outsider like Sierra ruin the bond we’ve

had for generations.”

Fulton emphasized the long-standing friendship between the two families, subtly suggesting to Horace

that handing over Sierra would be in their best interest. The unspoken threat lingered: if Brady endednovelbin

up behind bars, the harmony between the two families would unravel into discord.

Horace proposed a measured solution.

“I’ve always treated Brady Like family. I don’t want him in jail. How about this? I’ll bring Sierra out and

get her side of the story. If it turns out she’s involved, I won’t shield her.”

“I know you’re a fair man,” Fulton acknowledged, trusting Horace’s judgment.

Horace instructed a housekeeper to summon Sierra.

In under two minutes, the housekeeper returned with a cautious response, “Sir, Miss Rivera isn’t

home.”

Horace, taken aback, questioned, “Wasn’t she just here minutes ago?”

The housekeeper explained, “Mrs. Fowler mentioned that Miss Rivera wanted to explore another city,

so she left immediately after grabbing a few things.”

Hearing this, Fulton shot a pointed look at Horace.

The idea that Sierra had left to evade trouble in the midst of a tense situation was too convenient to

believe. Only a fool would buy such words.

Due to Sierra’s hasty departure, Horace sensed a connection.

Noting Fulton’s perceptive expression, Horace retorted, “Go inquire with Mrs. Fowler about Sierra’s

whereabouts.”

The housekeeper reported, “She claims not to know.”

“Oh, really?” Horace smirked mysteriously, then called the housekeeper again, saying, “I’m certain

Sierra hasn’t gotten far.

Send someone to track her down.”

“Yes, sir!” the housekeeper acknowledged before he could exit.

However, a coquettish voice interrupted from upstairs, “Wait!”

Rita descended the staircase slowly, fixing her gaze on Fulton.
