Chapter 862: Chapter 862 Erase _1
I should have left this place long ago.
At first, it was out of consideration for Atra Blanc’s sentintal attachnt to the Sumrs Residence, then Dylan Sumrs passed away, and now Alexander Sumrs has disappeared without a trace.
Going round in circles, I find myself tethered to this place with bonds difficult to break, unable to part ways, even the cardboard boxes packed by Atra Blanc have been piling up in the living room for who knows how long without moving day being scheduled.
There’s still no news from Pearlpoint City, so I can’t rashly relocate there, perhaps I should find another place to stay temporarily first.
In the afternoon, Manager Charles returned and Purple Sumrs discussed with him about buying a house.
Her own needs were secondary, as she was going to Kingsley to study in six months anyway. The main concern was for Atra Blanc; she wanted to provide her with a stable ho.
Considering the two pets, one liking trees and the other water, it might not be easy to find a suitable house right away.
“It’s rare to find a house with a garden and an artificial lake, but if a swimming pool is acceptable, it would be much easier to find,” suggested Manager Charles.
Purple Sumrs thought about it and agreed that asking for a lake was indeed too challenging, so she nodded, “A swimming pool will do.”
The steward then said, “I have found the crew and the captain. Whenever you wish to set sail, just command.”
Purple Sumrs was astonished.
It was only a matter of hours, and everything was ready?!
“Please don’t think I was hasty,” Manager Charles explained. “When hiring, dawdling is the worst as it gives opportunities for others to exploit weaknesses and plant spies. The best strategy is to make swift decisions, not giving the other side ti to plan. That way, the people you hire will be the most trustworthy. Even if they are not up to the task, firing them is an option, still better than being paranoid every day.”
If they put out a job posting and took their ti in picking, insidious individuals, like reporters hunting for a scoop, might disguise themselves as crew mbers and get on board.
Cedric Spencer was handpicked by Christopher Simonson from his family, highly vigilant and thorough in every aspect.
Purple Sumrs couldn’t help admiring this, she said, “You’ve done well.”
She was also grateful to Christopher Simonson for finding her such a capable assistant.
Two days later, Purple Sumrs roughly understood the situation: Roy Howard’s influence in Clearwater was almost entirely taken over by Damian Howard, the managent of Walker Entertainnt City was switched to a mber of the younger Howard generation, and Roy Howard’s other assets in Clearwater were swallowed up. Even the company previously gifted to Purple Sumrs had beco part of the Howard Family’s assets.
Damian Howard had gone to great lengths to erase Roy Howard’s mark bit by bit.
Purple Sumrs was very worried about the villa in the mountains.
That place held precious mories of hers and Alexander Sumrs, it ant sothing different to her.
She made a special request for Manager Charles to check, and the result was a relief: Damian Howard apparently didn’t know about the villa’s existence and hadn’t touched it.
Maybe it was bait left by Damian Howard.
No matter what, it was still intact, and Purple Sumrs was still pleased.
Excited to check if the villa was still in good condition, she prepared to head up the mountain. As she was leaving, she encountered Nathaniel Sumrs on the road.
“Purple Sumrs.” He suddenly called out to her, “I have sothing to tell you.”
Purple Sumrs frowned and stopped in her tracks, looking at Nathaniel Sumrs with a asure of wariness.
She really wasn’t in the mood to argue with him.
“What I said last ti wasn’t ant to drive you away,” Nathaniel Sumrs’s eyes were as cold as ever, and his tone was blunt, “Damian Howard has taken a big hit and is looking for an outlet to vent. If you move out now, you’ll be walking into the line of fire. If sothing happens, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
His hatred for Purple Sumrs was mixed with love, his cruelty tinged with lingering affection, and it seed Purple Sumrs was aware of it. After a mont of contemplation, she said, “I will definitely move out, you know that. I’d rather face Damian Howard than confront you.”
Nathaniel Sumrs’s face turned ashen in an instant.
“Suit yourself!” He turned and walked away, with a dark cloud brooding over his expression.
