Chapter 473


    The next morning, the parcels arrived, containing the clothes and toys that had been brought from


    Willowbank.


    Meanwhile, a chief legal officer of Solstice Group had alsoe along with the parcels.


    As Camille signed for the parcel, she caught sight of a man in a sharp suit carrying a briefcase,


    prompting her to inquire, “May I know who you are looking for?”


    Camille couldn''t shake off the feeling that the man standing in front of her resembled an insurance


    salesman. She hade across many individuals dressed simrly in the past, often carrying


    briefcases, amon trait of insurance salespeople.


    She then pondered, But this is a high-end residential area. It''s not easy for even a fly from outside to


    enter. Why would they allow a man like him toe in today?


    Sawyer Hoffman extended his name card to Camille and introduced himself, “I am the chief legal officer


    of Solstice Group. I am here today to meet with Ms. Gwendolyn Ashton.”


    As Camille realized that Sawyer was awyer, she couldn''t resist stealing a few nces at him. Ah, so


    he''s awyer. That exins hismanding and dignified presence.


    After signing to acknowledge the receipt of the parcels, Camille stared at the few piles of items in a


    daze.


    It prompted her to sigh and wonder what Gwendolyn had bought.


    “Mr. Hoffman, pleasee in. I''ll get Ms. Ashton for you.”


    Camille paid no immediate attention to the parcels at the door. She was relieved that the delivery guy


    had brought them directly to the house. Otherwise, she would have had to figure out how to pick them


    up from the delivery station at the entrance of the residential area.


    Sawyer followed Camille into the house, and she gestured for him to take a seat. She then prepared a


    cup of coffee for him.


    After that, Camille excused herself and went upstairs to inform Gwendolyn about the guest''s arrival.


    Gwendolyn was still in her pajamas, sitting on the terrace, sipping coffee, and engrossed in creating art


    on her drawing block.


    Despite not having to work recently, Gwendolyn remained dedicated to her daily routine of learning and


    creating art. She would often send some of her drafts to Tiffany for feedback and make necessary


    changes based on her mentor''s opinion.


    “Gwen, awyer named Mr. Hoffman is here to see you.”


    Gwendolyn raised her head and put down her pen after hearing Camille''s words.


    “Awyer? Why is he here?”


    Gwendolyn looked visibly concerned as she pondered, I haven''t caused any trouble recently. Why


    would awyere looking for me?

    Camille''s expression also showed a hint of worry as she asked, “Did you get into a fight recently?”


    Thest time awyer visited was when Gwendolyn had gotten into a physical altercation and ended


    up sending someone to the hospital. After the incident, Gwendolyn had to pay a substantial amount of


    compensation, which served as a lesson to her. Since then, she had refrained from engaging in any


    physical altercations.


    Gwendolyn paused for a moment, then replied with certainty, “No, I haven''t. I''m sure of that.”


    The two walked out of the terrace, engaged in conversation. However, there were subtle signs of


    tension on their faces.


    Camille deliberated for a brief moment before stating, “Perhaps I could ce a call to Mr. Lowen? He


    has connections and is a man. He might be able to offer assistance in case of any unforeseen


    circumstances.”


    Gwendolyn considered the idea of having Patrick''s support as well but then realized that Patrick would


    likely be in the office at this hour.


    “Ms. Ziegler, let''s wait until I meet with thewyer and ascertain the nature of the matter before we


    consider involving him. I don''t want to unnecessarily trouble Patrick if it turns out to be something else.”


    After all, Patrick was a busy man. If the nature of the matter was trivial, she could handle it herself.


    Things have changed now. I have the financial means, and I am willing to face anypensation or


    legal proceedings.


    Indeed, it was true that having financial resources could empower someone to stand tall.


    In the past, Gwendolyn''s financial situation was tight, and she couldn''t afford to spend money


    frivolously on such matters.


    Camille trailed behind Gwendolyn as they descended the stairs. Camille then made her way to the


    kitchen. They had an understanding that if the nature of the matter required Patrick''s intervention,


    Gwendolyn would signal Camille by asking for another cup of coffee.


    So, Camille patiently waited in the kitchen for the signal.


    When Gwendolyn entered the living room, Sawyer stood up to greet her.


    “Hello, Ms. Ashton. I''m Sawyer Hoffman.”


    He extended his hand, and Gwendolyn shook it with a firm grip. She couldn''t help but notice that he


    was much more handsome than the previouswyer who had visited. His demeanor radiated a sense


    of decency, a stark contrast to the previouswyer, who had exuded a negative vibe with just a single


    nce.


    Gwendolyn had unwavering confidence in her intuition, even though it was often baseless.


    “Please have a seat, Mr. Hoffman.”


    Gwendolyn settled into her seat with a sense of unease. Though she maintained aposed facade,


    deep within, her emotions roiled like turbulent waves.


    To my knowledge, there have been no recent urrences of me striking someone, being involved in an


    ident, ormitting any illegal actions, correct?


    Sawyer exuded a professional air with a demeanor that spoke of business-like efficiency.


    “Ms. Ashton, I''m Solstice Group''s chief legal officer. I''m here today to address matters concerning Ms.


    Sophia Sanders'' transfer of Solstice Group''s shares to you, Ms. Ashton.”
