Clara heard a thud on the other end of the line but did not pay much heed to it. After all, she was justtelling the truth. As an outsider, whatever happened to their son did not concern her. If this old hagsuccessfully summons Shawn back to her side, then all the effort I’ve put into preparing myself for theGrant family patriarch’s birthday banquet will go to waste. Why would I have thrown myself at thissweaty, fat, middle-aged man if I hadn’t heard through the grapevine that he had been chosen to attendthe birthday banquet on the mayor’s behalf
To her, Shawn was a just stepping stone for her to worm her way into the upper crust of theLumenopolis society.
A short while later, Shawn’s wife finally spoke in a shaking voice. “Tell that Chapman fellow, if anythinguntoward happens to my son, I’ll haunt him even in my death!”
Clara replied callously, “All right, my darling Shawn is almost done showering. I’ve got to hang up now.Please don’t call us anymore to disturb us in our business.”
Uninterested in hearing what else the old hag had to say. Clara hung up the phone. She checked herhair and makeup and waited for Shawn to emerge from the bathroom.
Not long after, Shawn stepped out of the shower with a towel around his waist, his eyes burning withlustful desire.
He pushed Clara onto the bed and was about to kiss her when she raised her hand and covered hismouth with it.
“Shawn. I might have done something wrong just now. I’m afraid you’ll be angry with me,” Clara saidwith downcast eyes and pouted glumly.
Caught by surprise, Shawn asked, “What could my baby have done to make me angry?”
“Your wife called earlier and said your son is a little unwell. She wanted you to go back immediately.When I told her you were busy, she started lashing out at me before slamming down the phone,” Claraexplained as tears started streaming down her face.
Feeling sorry for her, Shawn started wiping the tears off her face and tried to console her. “How darethat old hag scold my baby! After I go back, I’ll divorce her and marry you right away. Even if I’danswered the call myself, I wouldn’t have agreed to go home unless something catastrophic hadhappened. After all, opportunities like this don’t come by often.”
Satisfied with his answer, Clara finally nodded and even started seducing him.
After they had finished engaging in their amorous liaison, they decided to try out the food at Arthur’sTavern, a famous restaurant nearby.
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite, the first thing Alex did upon checking in was to change out of histrousers. The trousers, which were worth almost one hundred and seventy thousand, had graffiti drawnall over them and even a piece of gum was stuck to them.
When he was in the cab earlier, the driver had even asked if the graffiti on his trousers was the latesttrend among young people.
After changing out of the trousers, Alex took a shower. His phone beeped just as he stepped out of thebathroom.
It was a message from Auriel telling him that the elder had left with his grandson.
Alex’s heart was filled with regret A lot of things had happened lately, and there were mory questionsthat he had not gotten a chance to ask the elder yet. He deftiot expect them to leave so soon
Although the boy was not a Master, he was so advanced in his stealth skills that he went completelyundetected by Alex This made Alex very curious about the Stone family and their skills
Before he had the chance to put down his phone, it rang again. This time it was a call from Maggie
“Alex, have you checked into the hotel that I booked for you?” she questioned in a sultry andsophisticated
tone.
“Yes. I have. Why?” Alex asked.
Maggie grumbled, “Can’t I call you for no reason at all? You must be hungry after your flight. I’ve madea reservation at Arthur’s Tavern. See you there!”
