Chapter 602: [Bonus - ] Reading the open book wrong
Mrs. Deng only gave a small detail that she didn’t think was important. But for Axel, it was a huge detail. After spending weeks with Moose and sometimes Gray would tag along, Axel somehow got influenced by their way of thinking. Not their twisted train of thought, though. Gray and Moose might look easy to deal with. However, those guys were good at picking up even the smallest details to gain logical thinking.
That was why when Mrs. Deng mentioned the Lyon Group’s anniversary, Axel immediately called his brother. Axel might not know the actual plan, but at least they got an idea that Silas might make his move on the night of the company anniversary event.
Nothing changed, though.
That was why, the day before the anniversary event, Axel went to the Lyon Group Headquarters to get more clues. Of course, he bought his sister-in-law some bread on the way, as he hadn’t spent time with her. After all, she was busy and so was Axel. They lived under the same roof, but they wouldn’t even meet. Both also didn’t have the energy to message each other and stay in touch.
Axel thought it would be good if he caught up with her and talked about some important things for tomorrow’s event. But alas, Heaven was so busy running errands. Therefore, Axel didn’t force it. For sure, Dominic already gave his wife the idea.
That was when he coincidentally met Silas in the elevator. Axel thought he should stay away from his cousin, but from all the training he did, Axel thought he should talk to him. Silas often considers Axel as a fool. Thus, he always had his guard down around him.
In the lift, Silas was the first to break the silence between them.
"How have you been, Axel? I heard you’re back to training again, and that you’re planning to return to the tracks in a few months."
Axel ignored him.
