As a certain possibility crossed Taylor's mind, his expression gradually turned strange.

At the very beginning, Kelvin had cto Taylor with flowers, asking him to take Yvonne as his apprentice.

Now, the problem had cfull circle.

66%

Taylor's research field was so obscure that, before achieving any breakthroughs, it barely had any recognition.

Taylor could not help but wonder how Kelvin had managed to pick him out so precisely from so many people.

And the fact that Kelvin had brought flowers with him made it obvious that he had specifically targeted Taylor.

As the thought solidified in his mind, Taylor found himself at a loss for words to describe his complicated feelings.

Taylor never expected that, at seventy or eighty years old, he would still be outmaneuvered by the younger

generation.

Until this moment. Taylor had even silently praised Kelvin’s character. Only now did Taylor realize just how naive

he had

been.

Over the past couple of days, after everything that had happened, Taylor had been wondering about it. He had

always kept at low profile, so he could not understand why, all of a sudden, so many people knew about him.

Shaking his head, Taylor let out a sigh of resignation. ‘Businessmen truly are cunning, he thought.

At this moment, Taylor actually felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, he had chosen to pursue research instead of

business.

If Taylor had gone into business and encountered someone like Kelvin, he would have been manipulated like a

fool.

By the end of it, Taylor probably would not have even known how he had gone bankrupt.

Inside the office, the two others watched as Taylor's expression shifted back and forth.

“Mr. Johnson? Did something cto mind?” Behram asked.

Taylor waved his hand with a look that clearly showed he had no intention of explaining. “It is too complicated to

put words.”

This was not something Taylor wanted to admit in front of his students. Otherwise, his reputation would be

ruined. After saying this, Taylor suddenly stood up, walked to the office door, and stepped outside.

Taylor turned to the security guard standing at the door. “Alex, when can | go out?”

Taylor was not planning to go to see Kelvin.

It was obvious that since Kelvin had deceived Taylor, even if he was exposed, he would not feel embarrassed

about it.

After all, businessmen were not only cunning but also shameless.

Taylor wanted to see Yvonne, to see how she had cultivated those flowers and fruits.

For such a young child to have such remarkable abilities? No wonder Kelvin was in such a hurry to find me, and

even invested so much money into the research institute: Taylor wondered,

Once he figured things out, Taylor was no longer upset with Kelvin.

Yvonne's ability was extraordinary, and having Taylor as her mentor to protect her was actually a good

arrangement.

We are all doing this for Yvonne. Let us just forget about the scheming, Taylor thought.

Besides, he was deeply moved. Especially when he glanced back at the basket of oranges on his desk, his heart

felt warm.

Yvonne truly was lovable. Even if he had been tricked, he was willing to accept it.

Alex stepped aside to make a phone call. A minute later, he returned.

Since he had no idea what had just been discussed inside, Alex asked, “Professor Johnson, where would you like

to go? If the location is secure, we can arrange an escort.

Taylor glanced back at Behram. For a moment, Taylor could not quite remember Yvonne's mother’s last name.

To the Holmes residence.” Behram blurted out.

Taylor and Behram exchanged a look, and Behram immediately understood what he was asking.

“Oh, right, the Holmes residence. Taylor nodded.

Although Taylor usually had little interest in such matters, even he had heard of the Holmes family’s reputation.

It was a mix of good and bad.

With a hint of doubt in his voice, Tyalor asked Alex. “Is the Holmes residence considered safe

Alex fell silent for two seconds before replying, “It is extremely safe.”

More importantly, the Holmes residence was even harder to get into than their heavily guarded research

institute.

“So, am | allowed to go?” Taylor asked.

“Yes, | will drive you there.” Without hesitation, Alex ran off to prepare the car.

Taylor searched around his office for a while but could not find any candy. That was when he remembered

something. When Yvonne left last time. Taylor had given all the candy to Kelvin.

Forget it. Yvonne eats too much candy anyway. A little less will not hurt, Taylor thought.

Taylor's gaze swept across the room, checking if he had missed anything. Finally, his eyes landed on the

unfinished oranges

on his desk

He needed to hide these oranges well.

Taylor took out splastic wrap, tore off a piece, and carefully covered the oranges before placing them inside

his cabinet. He even went as far as locking it.

After doing all this. Taylor finally felt at ease and turned to the two people in the room. “I will go check on Yvonne

later The two men understood what Taylor meant, got up, and bid farewell before leaving

In truth, Behram was somewhat reluctant to go. He was quite curious about the girl he had never met before.

Yvonne had casually given away such extraordinary oranges, and not just one or two. Behram was really eager

to know how

she had cultivated them

And earlier, when Behram had asked about the cultivation method, Taylor's thoughtful expression suggested that

something

had clicked in his mind.

The moment Taylor figured it out, he immediately left to find Yvonne. His quick action made it hard for Behram

not to

overthink it

In the end, Behram still left. He checked the date on his phone and did smental calculations.

Richard was his patient. His condition was rather severe, requiring weekly check-ups.

Setting aside the recent blood sugar test, Behram would have another visit in two days.

Behram planned to go more frequently in the future; if he had free time, he would drop by every few days. That

way, he would not have to worry about missing Yvonne.

Taylor's timing was not ideal.

At around two in the afternoon, Yvonne had just been sent to school. The two of them had practically just missed

each other.

As Taylor approached the area surrounding the Holmes residence, Taylor could already feel the difference.

The air was filled with birdsong and floral scents, making it particularly refreshing the closer he got.

Once inside, that pleasant sensation beceven more pronounced.

In the backyard, there were abundant plants, all neatly arranged and meticulously maintained by the gardeners,

exuding an air of elegance.

Taylor stared at the exceptionally lush greenery, momentarily dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

“My God, my plants are nothing compared to this. No wonder when | gave Yvonne flowers, both of them refused;

turns out their his already filled with them, he wondered.

Back at the Adler residence. Taylor had already noticed that the flowers and plants there were unusually vibrant.

If he had asked a few more questions back then, he probably would have figured it out a few days earlier.

The maid leading the way noticed Taylor staring blankly at the plants but did not disturb him. Instead, she

lowered her presence as much as possible and quietly waited by his side.

After finally snapping out of it, Taylor continued walking forward, only to accidentally startle the nearby birds.

A flock of birds of various colors took off from the trees, flapping their wings in a spectacular display.

The sight unsettled Taylor, prompting him to ask the maid beside him, “Do you always have this many birds

here?”

The maid responded gently, “This is already fewer than before. A few days ago, there were even more, and the

butler had them driven away. Now, they have returned.”

Autumn usually saw fewer birds, and yet, the total number of birds in Strate City’s urban area could not even

compare to the ones gathered here.

Watching the birds settle back into the trees, Taylor was filled with emotion.

Sanimals had a far keener sense of these energies than humans did. They might not understand what it

was, but they instinctively wanted to stay here.

Taylor continued Walking without disturbing the birds any further.

He had only taken a few more steps when a faint jasmine scent caught his attention. “Jasmine?”

It is almost November. How is jasmine still blooming? Taylor thought.

The research institute had jasmine plants as well, but they had all withered two weeks aga

In Strate City, the climate was the sacross the board, the temperature, rainfall, and sonlig were all seescal.

That meant the blooming period of jasmine should be the same, too

The jasmine at the research institute has already fallen, so why is it still blooming here? be wondered

Feeling that something was off. Taylor stopped in his tracks. “Is there jasmine nearby? If so, can you taketo
