Chapter 627
Since Kayson said that he could detain Ryker, who could come and go as he pleased, Chase left to
make the arrangements immediately. There was no point in him lingering here as the driver's case
was already cleared.
Shylaâs brows were scrunched up with a worried gaze. âBut we still don't know who's trying to harm
my dad...â
Jeremy smiled. âThey'll attack again since I'm not dead. The more they try, the bigger the risk of
exposing themselves.â
He looked at Kayson. âCan I trouble you to stay and protect me for the time being, Kayson?â
âNot exactly. I can't stay here for long,â said Kayson.
âI'd be in danger then?â Jeremy sighed.
While they spoke, Kayson's phone rang. It was Hugh.
Hugh asked, âKayson, why aren't you back yet?â
It was only then that Kayson remembered he had told Hugh that he was going to Eastriv and would
return the next day. It had now been four or five days, and he had yet to make it back to the
Wolfendens.
âI'm in Skyspring, Grandpa Hugh. Got delayed by something.â
Hugh was surprised before he said, âThat's a coincidence. Dickinson International's tender is about
to start. Sadieâs planning to go there. Wait for her in Skyspring then.â
âDickinson International?â
Daniel Chappell had been transferred , but Kayson had asked Waylon Pattingson to keep an eye on
it personally, so there should not be any problem with the project. It was an open tender project,
after all. The procedure could not be avoided even if Waylon made a personal request.
âOkay, I'll wait for her in Skyspring. When will she be here?â
âProbably tomorrow or the day after. Also, if we do get Dickinson International, Sadie possibly won't
return to Clouspring,â said Hugh.
Kayson was startled. âSadieâs not going back to Clouspring ?"
âThat'll be the case if we do get the project,â Hugh said with a smile.
He actually thought they would undoubtedly get the project
since Daniel had promised them.
âSo I'd like to ask you for help. If Sadieâs staying in Skyspring, can I hold you responsible for her
safety?â
Kayson could not reject Hugh's request, so he could only agree.â Alright.â
âSpend a few days in Skyspring for now then. I'll transfer you some money. Pick a good hotel to
stay!â
Kayson quickly rejected him. âIt's fine, Grandpa Hugh. I have money.â
âWhat money could you have, kid? You haven't even been paid
yet! Besides, there's no way I'd let you pay when I'm the one asking you to stay there and wait,â
replied Hugh.
Kayson was unable to fight the old man and could only accept the money the latter sent his way. It
was a whopping $300,000, and Kayson felt speechless about it.
He then looked at Jeremy. âUncle Jeremy, I think I can do what you've asked just now.â
He did not have to rush back now, so he could protect Jeremy and others for the time being.
Delight flooded Jeremy. âHahaha, I'm completely relieved with you protecting me!â
Wallace asked with a smile, âMr. Tinsley, Mr. Yarde, should we have a seat at the guest lounge?â
Jeremy nodded, and Wallace led them there.
It was then they bumped into a few police officers taking a young man reeking of alcohol to the
interrogation room. The young man looked brazen and full of himself, like he was coming home
since there was no regard for the police in his gaze.
His eyes brightened up when he saw Shyla. He did not care that Wallace was there as he declared
pompously, âBeautiful, I have my eyes on you!"
Shyla was not one to argue, but she ignored the guy with an annoyed expression.
