"Lily Warren’s state is quite strange." Evelyn Clayton frowned slightly, "Both her attending physician and the person who brought her here said her ntal state is sowhat unstable, but when I talked to her today, she seed relatively normal..."
Evelyn Clayton briefly explained today’s situation to Violet Ford and Franklin Ford, and both fell into contemplation upon hearing it.
"Is there a possibility that this is a kind of self-protection?"
After a long silence, Franklin Ford spoke softly, filled with hesitation.
Evelyn Clayton’s thoughts deepened, "It’s hard to say. I now feel like I can’t trust anyone, including that officer helping secretly and his apprentice who is looking after Lily Warren."
Violet Ford rubbed her temples in so distress, "In the end, it’s best to et with Lars Alden. But Franklin and I probably can’t accompany you. The group’s shareholders’ eting is coming up, and both Franklin and I must attend."
Evelyn Clayton nodded, "You should focus on your tasks; I’ll handle this matter and get back to you with news as soon as possible."
After speaking, noticing Franklin Ford’s hesitation, Evelyn Clayton couldn’t help but ask, "Director Ford, is there anything else?"
Franklin Ford instinctively glanced at Violet Ford, then softly asked, "How is Yara Reagan?"
The day Yara Reagan directly spoke to Evelyn Clayton at the company, Franklin Ford and Violet Ford couldn’t possibly be unaware.
Franklin Ford just didn’t expect that Yara Reagan, who usually didn’t hold grudges, had actually strained her relationship with Evelyn Clayton this ti.
"I haven’t contacted her." Evelyn Clayton lowered her gaze, hiding a faint sense of guilt, "Honestly, if possible, I’d like to wait until all these matters are resolved before having her return to Gem."
Franklin Ford naturally agreed with this, but seed to refrain from saying more due to Violet Ford’s presence.
Just as they were about to send the Ford siblings off, soone suddenly knocked on Evelyn Clayton’s front door.
Evelyn Clayton’s brow instinctively furrowed as she stepped forward to look through the peephole, her expression turned serious.
Is it Jas Grant at the door?
She suddenly turned to look at Violet Ford and Franklin Ford, her voice lowered a few notches, "It seems Jas Grant is here."
Violet Ford’s expression slightly stiffened, while Franklin Ford rely paused for a mont before quickly returning to normal.
"Why did he suddenly co to your house?" Violet Ford instinctively questioned, then seed to realize sothing, looking at Evelyn Clayton with an indescribable expression.
Evelyn Clayton didn’t want to explain much, thought about it, and opened the door with so resolve.
Before opening the door, she signaled to Violet Ford and Franklin Ford with her eyes.
Both were exceptionally astute and understood imdiately upon seeing Evelyn Clayton’s look.
As the door opened, Jas Grant quickly stepped inside.
He imdiately pulled Evelyn Clayton into his arms in an incredibly familiar and natural manner, making a move to kiss her.
Evelyn Clayton resisted slightly against his chest, coughed lightly, and said, "I have guests."
Only then did Jas Grant see the Ford siblings.
Franklin Ford sipped his tea and remained silent for a mont.
It was Violet Ford who first spoke, smiling politely and distantly, "Director Grant, what a coincidence."
Jas Grant’s arm around Evelyn Clayton’s shoulder paused slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over Franklin Ford, carrying an unspoken hostility.
After a long while, he t Violet Ford’s gaze.
"Miss Ford, indeed a coincidence." Jas Grant showed no emotion, "To et here unexpectedly. You ca to see Evelyn for what reason?"
Before Violet Ford could respond, Evelyn Clayton replied blandly, "I’m collaborating with Violet and Director Ford. Sothing happened recently, and I invited them over to discuss matters."
