    Chapter 1105 A Guest


    “Understood!” replied Derek. “Shall I make a courtesy call to Mr. Nightshire and have some gifts sent


    along so that he may be able to ease his own dignity?”


    “Of course! The gift is a must!” Trevor smacked hard on the table in approval. “It’s imperative for him to


    be able to save face because he’s that kind of character. Allowing him to bow out in grace is akin to


    facilitating a step up for us, so good suggestion on your part. However, I can’t be the one doing the


    gifting myself, or that’ll be quite embarrassing for me!”


    “Yes! Yes! Certainly!” Derek nodded heartily. “I’ll go take care of it, but what should we offer him?”


    That did stump Trevor and got him thinking.


    He did not have any more money to spare, but it was not as though Vinson would be receptive to


    epting any from him either.


    After some deliberation, Trevor said, “Prep the car. I’m going to make a trip home.”


    “Understood.”


    Half an hourter, the car rolled to a halt outside the Larson residence.


    Ever since Trevor and Cecilia’s parents perished in a ne crash en route to a leisurely trip during the


    siblings’ formative years, the house was left with just the two of them.

    While Trevor stood at the entryway, he sighed at the thought of how challenging it had been for Cecilia


    before he strode through those doors.


    This was the first time he had reentered the house after thatst huge bust-up they had, and the


    housekeeper came up quickly to greet him.


    “Mr. Larson.”


    Trevor acknowledged her with a slight nod. He surveyed the entirety of the living room but did not see


    Cecilia there.


    “Where is she?” Trevor asked.


    “Mrs. Greene’s resting upstairs.”


    “Resting? At this time of the day?”


    Word of the overpowering scent that constantly emanated from Cecilia’s room had been going around


    among the housekeepers.


    “Shall I go fetch her?” the housekeeper asked with apprehension.


    Trevor shook his head. “There’s no need to. I’m just here to pick up a few things. I’ll being back


    later tonight, so ask her to wait up and tell her that I’d like for us to have a proper chat.”


    “Understood.”


    Trevor nodded and went on to the study, where he retrieved the prized antique vase that he had held in


    storage for a very long time.


    Apart from the estate itself, this vase is the singrly most valuable item in our possession. Though not


    exactly the rarest of rarities in any sense, it should still be something that would catch the eye of


    someone like Vinson.


    Trevor carefully packaged the vase himself before he returned to the car and passed it along to Derek.


    “Go ce this in Vinson’s hands right away. Remember that there isn’t a need to exin too much.


    Vinson will get the message.”


    “Understood!” the assistant responded in the affirmative and rode another car quickly toward Nightshire


    Group’s branch office in Horington.


    Inside the branch office of Nightshire Group, Vinson was sitting across from Luke while thetter


    furnished him with updates on the progress of a project.


    “The foundations have beenid and I’ve already ced all hands on deck for this project. Currently,


    we’re just awaiting the arrival of those building materials from Epea to begin construction. Once we


    kickstart the process, it should take an estimated three months toplete.”


    Vinson nodded agreeably. “Being able to fast-track a roughly five-month project to within three months’


    time is quite impressive. Good work.”


    “Nah, it’s nothing.” Luke waved him off. “Do you know when we might expect the materials to arrive?”


    “Today.”


    Luke perked up. “Today?”


    “Yes.” Vinson nodded. “I’m here specifically to inspect and sign off on this shipment personally. Around


    eight tonight, the ship will be due to arrive at Horington First Wharf. I need you to prepare ahead of time


    as the transportation of this amount of materials will be extremely challenging, considering that I don’t


    have enough people here in Horington.”


    “I’ve nothing else save manpower. Rest assured that I’ll have them over at the First Wharf by seven-


    thirty. We’ll see you there.”


    “Excellent.” Vinson stood on his feet. “You should go on ahead with your preparations. I’m still


    expecting a guest.”
