Sumr Fairmont was thinking of going directly to find Artie Vaughn to ask, but when she ca out of the old castle, she saw Artie’s Brabus driving from afar.
Originally about to get in her car, Sumr Fairmont simply stood by her car, waiting for Artie.
When Artie’s car ca fully into Sumr Fairmont’s line of sight, the driver was not The Pouting Siren but her "Nation’s Gentleman" brother.
Sumr Fairmont glanced intently at the inside of the car, and it was still only Leo Vaughn inside.
There was no one else in the front passenger seat or backseat.
For a mont, Sumr Fairmont, who originally had a stomach full of questions, didn’t know what to say.
She and Leo Vaughn weren’t close enough to always have sothing to say.
Sumr Fairmont didn’t care why Leo Vaughn had co back; she planned to drive directly to find Artie.
"Hello Sumr." The Nation’s Gentleman hesitated briefly, then took the initiative to greet her.
"What’s up?" Sumr Fairmont’s response was simple and direct.
"Well... just wait for a mont." Leo Vaughn moved to the trunk, taking out the will docunts that Sumr Fairmont had just discovered missing.
Hieronymus’s will, appearing in Leo Vaughn’s hand, made Sumr Fairmont quite displeased.
If the will lawyer hadn’t found her with Artie Vaughn happened to be nearby, Sumr Fairmont wouldn’t have ntioned her connection with the Brunschwig Distillery.
Even though Artie happened to be there, Sumr Fairmont didn’t show her the contents of the will.
It wasn’t that she felt her relationship with Artie hadn’t reached that point, but she hadn’t decided herself whether to open it.
Besides knowing Sumr Fairmont was about to inherit over six hundred barrels, enough to fill a hundred thousand bottles of whiskey, Artie had no more information.
When did Leo Vaughn take the will docunts?
Why did he take them?
Yesterday, Gordon Sterling and Artie Vaughn followed the ambulance to send Sean Lowell to the hospital.
Sumr Fairmont drove her Snake King Pickup closely behind, and the last one, Leo Vaughn, casually took away Hieronymus’s will docunts?
Took them just to blatantly return them like this?
Sumr Fairmont didn’t know the logic behind Leo Vaughn’s actions, but she knew she wasn’t pleased.
The more people involved in her past, the harder it was for her to completely say goodbye to it.
Sumr Fairmont looked at Leo Vaughn, expressionless but with a piercing gaze.
When they first t, Sumr Fairmont just felt Leo Vaughn’s smile was a bit fake.
But that was Leo Vaughn’s personal business, harmless, and not within Sumr Fairmont’s focus.
The inexplicable taking of Hieronymus’s will docunts wasn’t sothing Sumr Fairmont could overlook as "harmless."
Sumr Fairmont took the will docunts. The file bag with the family tree and investigation report was still sealed as before.
The once-opened handwritten letter was also returned to the already unsealed file bag.
"Explain." Sumr Fairmont directly asked for an explanation.
She didn’t use a questioning tone.
Under such circumstances, Leo Vaughn should provide an explanation, a reasonable and lawful one at that.
Sumr Fairmont never hid her emotions, making the always-smiling Nation’s Gentleman a bit uncomfortable.
"Here’s the thing. After you all left yesterday, I thought, in your hurry, you might have left sothing important behind, so before leaving the whiskey warehouse, I checked." Leo Vaughn started to explain.
Sumr Fairmont stared at Leo Vaughn with a consistently intense and penetrating gaze.
Clearly, Leo Vaughn’s explanation couldn’t satisfy Sumr Fairmont.
Leo Vaughn had no obligation or right to check the warehouse for Sumr Fairmont.
"I ant, did you leave sothing like a phone..." Leo Vaughn felt more and more defensive under Sumr Fairmont’s gaze.
It was a strangely flustered feeling.
After Winters’s unexpected death, during Leo’s battle of wits with the old experts of Winters Spirits back ho, he never felt this flustered.
Unable to clarify, emotions unsettled.
But this feeling didn’t last long.
Leo was no longer the eighteen-year-old boy who had just inherited Winters Spirits.
He had no reason to be led by Sumr Fairmont’s emotions for long.
"The way you’re looking at , I don’t even know where to begin explaining. Let organize my thoughts." Leo Vaughn pointed to the file bag with the will docunts that he had handed back to Sumr Fairmont: "Actually, I’m quite familiar with this will-focused law firm. My father’s will was handled by them, so when I saw these file bags, I knew they were important docunts and thought they shouldn’t be left behind here."
