Chapter: 976
In the blink of an eye, the reason behind his father’s summons became crystal clear to
Blayze.
An hour later, Blayze found himself boarding a plane bound for Violetholt.
Two hours passed and the aircraft touched down at Violetholt’s airport, where a waiting
driver stood ready. Stepping off the plane, Blayze started his journey to his residence.
The Fowler family mansion, while not ancient, was a quaint townhouse nestled at the
heart of Violetholt. The property market here was anything but forgiving.
The vehicle eased into the courtyard, and Blayze alighted, striding purposefully into the

Nicol Fowler was engrossed in constructing a tower of toy building blocks on the carpet.
His demeanor shifted to one of apprehension as he spotted Blayze’s return. He hastily
stood, blurting out, “Blayze.”
Nicol had come into the world when Blayze’s father was already fifty, rendering him

“Well,” Blayze replied as he removed his overcoat, hanging it meticulously on the rack

exuded a sharp shrewdness. His regal presence remained undeniable.
Blayze got his eyes and brow from Marco, leaving no doubt that Marco had been a striking

“I’ve heard you’ve been in Mathias lately,” Marco inquired, his voice hushed.
“Yes.”
“What did you get up to during your time in Mathias?”
After a pregnant pause, Blayze lifted his gaze, locking eyes with
Marco. “You seem to already know, don’t you? Otherwise, why summon me back?”
Marco dispensed with pretense. “Come back after ensuring the ongoing projects are
managed diligently. Cease any targeting of the Blakely family.”
A smile graced Blayze’s lips as he countered, “Father, I harbor no ill intentions toward the
Blakely family. I am adhering strictly to the company’s future development blueprint.
Perhaps our agenda collides with the Blakely Group’s, leading to your misconceptions.”
