Cassian Jennings acted as if he hadn’t even seen Tiana Grayson, placing Alia Avery directly into the car before driving away.
Tiana was completely stunned. She only ca back to her senses when a man appeared beside her. She looked at Leo Joyce, her expression a mixture of fear and anxiety.
"Lost in thought?" Leo Joyce said with a wry smile, raising a hand to gently tap Tiana on the head.
"It’s nothing..." Tiana’s heart skipped a beat at Leo Joyce’s casual gesture, then began to pound wildly. She blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Seeing her shy reaction, Leo Joyce awkwardly pulled his hand back. "Where do you live? I’ll take you ho."
"riside. Hibiscus Villa," she answered quietly, her head still bowed.
"..." Leo Joyce nodded, walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and started the car to take her ho.
While it was just past 3:00 PM in Tridell, it was already after 10:00 PM in Eldoria.
Valor Hospital,
Tristan Grayson stared at his call history, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
’So, that call during dinner... was it from that woman?’
’I wonder what she wanted.’
Just then, his phone rang, pulling Tristan Grayson from his thoughts. He stared intently at the screen, his brow furrowed slightly as he swiped to answer.
The call had barely connected when a disgruntled male voice ca through. "Tristan Grayson, you finally fucking answered! If you hadn’t picked up, your old man was about to co hunt down."
Hearing this, Tristan Grayson leaned back wearily in his chair. "What’s going on?" he asked in a low voice.
"What do you think is going on? Henry Archer lied to your old man, said you were on a business trip with . And now your father calls today asking where we are because he wants to co over! Tristan Grayson, you’ve really screwed this ti. If your dad finds out you’re not with , do you think he’ll let off the hook?"
"Ian Shaw, explain this to clearly." ’I’ve gone on business trips for a month or two before, and Dad never asked about them.’
"There’s no ti to explain! Just hurry back to the country. I’m telling you, if you don’t co back soon, that little lover of yours is going to be in deep trouble."
Hearing Ian Shaw’s words, Tristan Grayson’s expression darkened. "My dad knows I’m in Eldoria?" he asked, his voice cold and hard.
"Of course he knows! There haven’t been any major projects at the company recently that required your personal attention. You’ve been gone for over a month. It’d be weird if he *wasn’t* suspicious."
"I get it. Tell Henry Archer I’m coming back tomorrow. That’s it..."
As Tristan Grayson was about to hang up, Ian Shaw panicked on the other end. "Hey, Tristan Grayson, you heartless bastard, don’t you hang up on ..."
"What else is there?" Tristan Grayson asked, his voice filled with impatience.
"It’s nothing huge, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. You need to keep a close eye on your sister for a while. Make sure she spends less ti with Alia Avery. Alia provoked soone important this ti, so things might get ssy. Tiana absolutely can’t handle any stress."
"Alia Avery’s in trouble again?" Every ti he heard her na, Tristan Grayson was guaranteed a headache.
’A pampered heiress, causing trouble every single day...’
"Yeah. Aiden Avery just called and told to arrange protection for Alia Avery. You know , I’m not fucking afraid of anything... except for that little princess."
The deep frown on Tristan Grayson’s face finally smoothed out. "Heh. This is a job better suited for Cassian Jennings."
"It’s not like you don’t know that Cassian Jennings and Aiden Avery had a falling out. Man... why is my life so hard? Those two have a little tiff, and I’m the one who ends up suffering."
