Chapter 556
Duncan raised his glass and took a calm sip before gesturing for the bodyguard to step
back. He had noticed Melody at the scene and was not surprised that she had managed to
save Helena.
“Boris, you mentioned you have a friend coming to Jonford, right? When will he arrive? I’ll
prepare a feast for him!’ Duncan said.
“He should be here in a few days. He went to settle an old feud recently,” Boris
responded.
“Does he have any interests or hobbies?’ Duncan asked with a slight smile.
“Nothing special. He likes beautiful young girls, particularly those
who haven’t been in a relationship before,” Boris replied somewhat helplessly.
“Hahaha! Leave it to me. I promise your friend will have an unforgettable time!’ Duncan
laughed heartily.
Boris’ friend was also a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert. How was Nash supposed to go up
against him when he had two of them
together?

on the bed, she immediately reached out and
grabbed his hand. Feeling the warmth of Kai’s hand, Helena could not
hold back her tears and cried. He was alive.
He was alive. Kai would probably be upset if he had woken up to find that she had jumped
and killed herself, right?
Nash handed Helena a prescription. “You just got out of the hospital, and your body is still
weak. Follow this prescription and you’ll recover in two or three days.”
Helena fell to her knees in front of Nash, tears welling in her eyes.” Nash, I’m sorry. I did
you wrong in the past. Let me apologize to you, and I’m also apologizing on Kai’s behalf!”
she exclaimed as she knocked her fair forehead on the ground.
Nash hurriedly helped Helena up and said solemnly, “Let bygones be bygones. Just be
good from now on.
Though initially averse to Helena and Kai, Nash had already let what they did in the past
go after Kai was punished by Walter. They also did not trouble him anymore after that.
“Hera, take her to rest. I need to treat Kai and Finn.”
“Helena, let’s not disturb Nash. Go rest in my room for a while,” Hera said as she
supported Helena. They walked out of the basement.
Seemingly recalling something, Nash suddenly asked, “Did anything unusual happen
before Kai’s accident?”
He speculated Duncan had something to do with what happened to Kai but was not sure.
He could not fathom Duncan’s motive for
attempting on Kai’s life.
Helena pondered for a moment but then shook her head. “There was
nothing unusual. We got into an argument and then he packed up his
things and left. Queenie called me after that, saying something hac
happened…”
Nash frowned. “I meant between him and Duncan. Think carefully
Duncan! After some more contemplation, Helena shook her head
again but replied, “About half a month ago, there was a major crisis at Rococo Technology.
To handle the situation, Kai went to ask Duncan for money.
“Duncan demanded that he crawl on the ground and bark like a dog before giving him 30

Hera was surprised to hear that. “And how did Kai handle it?”
Would he agree to such a demand seeing as Duncan was Walter’s son?
Helena’s lips were dry. Tearing up, she said, “He did get the money.’
Hera fell silent. If Kai managed to get the money, it meant he had followed through with
what Duncan asked. She never expected the privileged young master from the Watson
family to end up in such destitute situation.
Nash sighed inwardly. “You should go rest for a while.”
Helena turned around and walked away.
She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. “We had nothing
to do with the fire at Baroque. Kai said I knew who was behind it at the time but didn’t
divulge much!”
Nash’s eyebrows arched slightly at that. This was the answer he
sought. The fire at Baroque had been orchestrated by Duncan in
secret. He diverted all attention toward the Hill family, Innovate
Collective, and Kai.
