Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 478


    Chapter 478 Strangers in the Vige


    “Alright, thank you very much.”


    Hoyt wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to say, “Don’t mention it”,


    but he did not manage to utter the words and ran home instead.


    He muttered as soon as he arrived at his house’s entrance, “ Mother, where is our


    bicycle?”


    “What’s going on?”


    Madame Leigh walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron. “Where are


    you going with the bicycle when it’s almost night?”


    Hoyt said, “Don’t mind that. I have something to do at the market. Where’s the bicycle?”


    Enter title…


    “It’s in the house. It’s going to rain heavily tonight, so I keep it indoors to prevent it from


    rusting.”


    Hoyt nodded and went for the bicycle.


    Madame Leigh said before he left, “Come home soon! Get your father at the vige


    entrance too, while you’re there so he cane home for dinner earlier!”


    “Okay!”


    He rode the bicycle to the market in a rush. He crossed the vige entrance and found


    his father standing at the front with two luxurious cars parked next to him.


    He got down from the bicycle to approach his father, just when the person in the car got


    out as well.


    He met the man’s cold gaze. The sight of the man left behind a profound impression that


    could not be ignored in Hoyt, even though the man was wearing a coat over his hospital


    gown. His entire body exuded an elegant yet oppressive presence.


    It appeared as if the man was severely ill, and his face was ghastly pale.


    He approached the vige head while the man was still talking to the person in the car


    and asked, “Father, why are there strangers in the vige?”


    “They’re looking for someone.”


    “Looking for someone? Who are they looking for?


    The vige head said while he smoked a pipe, “A woman a little over 20 years old? They


    imed that the woman has wounds on her face and looks emaciated.”


    Hoyt’s mind was alerted, and he hastily asked, “Why so? Who is that woman to them?”


    “I’m not too sure about that.” The vige head said, “They told me about that and sought


    my help to look for the woman. They imed that they would pay 72,000 dors for her


    safe return.”


    “72,000 dors!?”


    Hoyt widened his eyes in surprise. The mary offer was arge amount in a ce like


    theirs.


    “Just a woman is worthy of that handsome reward?”


    “Perhaps she is their friend. All in all, you can stroll along the beach when you’re free in


    the next two days. They imed that it’s possible for her to be floating on the sea, and


    they would like her person if she is alive, her corpse if she is dead.”


    “Ah…”


    Other than him and Mrs. Cox, no one else knew about Deirdre.


    Firstly, it was due to Mrs. Cox’s remote residence. Secondly, there were few people in


    the vige. The young people were all working in the cities while the elderly people


    stayed in the vige. Very few people would venture to the beach.


    Hoyt felt his heart racing, and he took an extra nce at the man in a coat.


    He had a cigarette between his fingers, his dark eyes were empty, and his lips were


    purplish. He was looking around at all times, and when his eyes met Hoyt’s, thetter felt


    the domineering presence of the man and could not help trembling.


    ‘What is the rtionship between this influential man and the gentle Miss McKinnon?’

    Hoyt’s mind was a mess with thoughts. He refused to ride the bicycle and was oblivious


    to Madame Leigh’s conversation with him when he returned pushing the bicycle. Hey


    on the bed under the nket as soon as he entered the house.


    When the vige head returned home, Madame Leigh was still muttering, “Something’s


    wrong with him. He rushed over to the market at dusk, and when he returned, he


    became so distracted and indifferent.”


    “Don’t mind him. You should take a stroll on the beach in the next two days. We have a


    guest today iming to…”


    Deirdre was still cooking in the kitchen when Mrs. Cox arrived homete.


    She heard themotion and stuck out her head. “Why are you home sote today?”


    Mrs. Cox was in a great mood. She came to the kitchen, took over Deirdre’s task, and


    said smilingly, “I foraged many precious things from the mountain today. I should be able


    to sell them off at a good price, so I will have the money to fund my son’s wedding in the


    future.”


    Deirdre was happy for her too.
