"Mr. Hawk, we really didn't want to be your enemy. Unfortunately, you won't be able to touch Jessica or any of us today. We'll all leave here safely, without a scratch!" Edith's words were firm, and she seemed certain that the Crone family would leave unscathed.
Halsey sneered, "Mrs. Edith, you really are full of yourself. With both Mr. Hawk and Wendy here, do you actually think your family can safely escape this situation?" Cecelia added, "That's right! You used to treat Mr. Hawk as your greatest ally, but now that he's no longer on your side, how dare you still act so arrogant!" Edith chuckled coldly. "If you don't believe me, feel free to try and make a move." Wendy studied the Crone family members, her sharp gaze betraying the smallest hint of uncertainty. She knew them all too well, and Edith's attitude now seemed like she had another card up her sleeve.

In a panic, Edith looked toward Harry. "Harry, hasn't that important person arrived yet?" Important person? Wendy's eyes narrowed slightly. Was the "important person" someone the Crone family had invited from the Capital? Harry glanced at his watch. "He should be here soon." Lilian turned to Wendy with a smile. "Wendy, you've thought of everything, haven't you? But I'm sure you never predicted that we still had our trump card!" Wendy frowned. "Trump card?" Lilian didn't respond, but just then, the roar of engines cut through the quiet rain. A series of sleek, extended luxury cars sped down the road, coming to a slow stop.

Stanley's voice was low, almost a whisper. "Horace?" Samuel stepped forward, joining Wendy by her side. His voice was filled with astonishment.
"No way! It's the world's richest man, the big shot from the Capital, Horace Larson! No wonder they closed the airport and blocked the roads today. Why would someone like him cto Hovendale?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWendy's clear gaze locked onto Horace. She had heard of this m heard legendary figure, but this was the first tshe was seeing him in person. Horace had faded from the public eye years ago, becoming a mysterious figure no magazine or media outlet could catch.
What was he doing here in Hovendale?
The butler held the black umbrella high, and Horace stepped forward, his stride confident and steady as he made his way toward the group. He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
Edith was overjoyed. "Mr. Larson, you've finally arrived! Welcto Hovendale! We are honored by your presence." Harry stepped forward. "It's good to see you. I'm the one who called you." Horace turned his gaze to Harry. "Where is my daughter?" His question landed like a stone thrown into a calm lake, sending ripples through the air.
