Terrence couldn’t return home to recuperate for the time being. With two new people in the house-one strange and the other holding a grudge against Grandma Sterling-he instructed Meredith, “Meredith, keep an eye on the house.”
“Don’t worry, I will. I also asked Mom to look after Rowan when I left,” Meredith said, holding Terrence’s hand. “I just hope you can see again soon and get better. You’re the pir of this family; our daughter and I need you.”
She encouraged him, and together they faced their challenges.
“Alright,” Terrence replied with a slight smile.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Even if the chances were slim, he wouldn’t dampen Meredith’s spirits.
In the following days, Terrence received treatment and recovered in the hospital. Though he couldn’t see, he still managed hispany’s affairs.
Linda shuttled between the hospital and thepany daily, while Meredith gradually took on more responsibilities, offering advice and managing tasks. Terrence guided her while allowing her to make decisions independently, appointing her as Vice President of thepany.
Though a Vice President in title, Meredith held absolute authority to make allpany decisions. She became busy juggling the hospital,pany, and home.
Reginald grew fond of Little Lucky, often seen ying with her when Meredith returned home. Little Lucky was happy; children are perceptive and can sense who treats them well. Seeing how much her daughter liked Reginald, Meredith’s guard slowly lowered.
Reginald stayed at Ravenwood, spending time with Little Lucky and chatting with Grandma Sterling. His return seemed genuinely aimed at reuniting the family. Julian often took Reginald out for walks and introduced him to new social circles, even showing him around Auroraville.
Auroraville had changed dramatically over thirty years. Julian could narrate what each street and alley used to be like and when they transformed into their current state.
Darcy DuMont had urgent matters and returned to France but informed the police to expedite their investigation into Terrence’s assant.
Though in treatment, Terrence wasn’t idle. To avoid worrying Meredith, he kept his investigation of the mastermind behind his attack a secret from her. But whenever Meredith left the hospital, Harvey would visit.
Terrence’s blindness made Harvey his eyes for outside matters.
One day, after lunch with Terrence, Meredith hurried back to thepany for an urgent matter.
As soon as she left, Harvey entered the ward. “Boss, it seems Selene is responsible for silencing Ethan Channing.”
Since Terrence had enlisted Harvey’s help, he had disclosed Selene’s identity to him.
Terrence wasn’t surprised and asked, “Can you contact Selene?”
“No,” Harvey replied reluctantly. “Boss, do you think something happened to Selene? Since Ethan Channing’s death, she has vanished.”
Reflecting on hisst encounter with Selene, Harvey realized she had been acting strangely then-likely preparing to silence Ethan Channing.
Terrence asked, “Have you prepared the information on Celestial Alliance assassins I requested?”
Harvey hesitated. “Boss, those who were exposed are already dead. Now even Selene is unreachable; I suspect Celestial Alliance might have dealt with her themselves for beingpromised.”
As assassins, revealing their true identities meant certain death. Members of Celestial Alliance never showed their real faces-they could be anyone from an olddy crossing the street to a bus conductor or a socialite in high society.
Terrence sighed. “I can’t rely too much on you.”
Harvey scratched his head. “Boss, I can dig up any girl’s family background in no time. But investigating Celestial Alliance assassins is beyond me-even international police have no useful information.”
“Meredith won’t be back from thepany anytime soon. Change your clothes; you’re taking me out.”
“Boss, where are we going?”
“To Uncle Reginald’s ce in Auroraville,” Terrence said. He had already found out where Reginald stayed before returning to Ravenwood.
