Hera opened the trunk. The inspection team leader checked the trunk, but there was nothing inside. He closed the trunk and smiled, saying, â Thank you for your cooperation. You may go.â
Hera drove away, and Nash stroked his chin as he murmured, â
Interestingâ¦â
Hera turned to him. âWhatâs interesting?â
Nash gave a faint smile and replied, âItâs nothing. Letâs hurry home.â
He was not sure if Duncan had arranged these inspections, but there was definitely an insider involved in the vehicle checks today.
Nashâs phone rang again, and it was a call from Walter.
âMr. Calcraft, when the accident happened, the taxi driver had two cell
phones. One of them was taken by someone. George caught the
person who took the phone, but a powerful individual showed up and
killed everyone. George barely escaped and has severe injuries.â
âIsnât George a stage seven great-grandmaster? He was severely.
injured as well?â Nash sounded surprised.
âGeorge ascended and became a stage seven great-grandmaster ten
days ago,â Walter replied solemnly.
âI understand. Donât reveal the information about Kai being alive to
anyone in the next three days,â Nash instructed.
âAlright.â
Walter ended the call, and there was a cold glint in his eyes. He would make whoever dared harm his grandson pay with their lives no matter
what.
âGrandfather, should we bring Kaiâs body back home?â Queenie,
sitting in the front passenger seat, asked in a choked voice.
Walter calmly replied, âWeâll have him cremated tomorrow. Thereâs no need for a big funeral.â
Queenieâs anger flared. âHeâs already dead. Do you really still want to hold him accountable for his past mistakes? Nash doesnât blame him for what he did either, does he?â
These words felt like a needle piercing Walterâs heart. If he had not
been so severe with Kai, he would not have almost lost his life. This
time, it was thanks to Nash that Kai survived. Perhaps he had been.
too harsh. However, if he had not been tough on Kai, he would never
realize his mistakes.
Faced with his granddaughterâs questioning, Walter lowered his
in silence.
Kevin, Queenieâs father, reprimanded her coldly, âQueenie, how dare you speak to your grandfather like that?â
Walter waved his hand and said, âQueenie is right. Itâs all my fault.â
Kevin gave his daughter a cold glare and said, âIâll discipline you
properly when we get back home!â
Having seemingly realized that she should not have doled out
accusations at her grandfather, Queenie lowered her head and apologized, âGrandfather, Iâm sorry!â She understood then that her
grandfatherâs actions were for the good of the entire Watson family.
Hera dropped her parents off at the companyâs entrance. Due to their heavy workload, Lauren and her husband would sometimes stay in the company dorms to deal with urgent matters at any time.
âMom, Dad, donât work too late. Get some rest early!â
âWe know. You both hurry back home!â
With that, Hera drove back to Royal Bay.
âNash, do you still resent Helena and Kai?â
âWhy didnât you call me hubby?â Nash asked.
âJust because!â Hera blushed slightly. She only called him hubby when she was being cute or when she needed Nash to do something.
Calling him that at other times felt a bit strange!
Nash smiled and asked, âWhat about you? Do you still hate them?â
Hera sighed softly. âI still donât know if they were behind the fire in the
computer room.
âWhat if it wasnât them?â
âIn that case, Iâll stop hating them. Kai has endured his grandfatherâs
punishment for a long time. Itâs because no one protected him that he
nearly lost his life!
âHelena and my uncle have also received their fair share of
punishment.â
