Chapter 1274 - 1273: Resentful and Alone in the Empty Room
Fiona Sutton heard Charles Northwood’s words and knew what he was thinking.
"Bodyguard with a sword, am I the kind of person who overthinks?"
At this moment, Fiona Sutton seemed to regain her usual bold and domineering self, which was quite nostalgic.
This version of Fiona Sutton was full of energy, radiating a certain vigor all over.
"Haha, aren’t you?"
Seeing her like this, Charles Northwood teased her with a laugh.
Fiona Sutton: ......
Alright, alright, she indeed tends to overthink.
"Anyway, this time I’m telling the truth. I’m not overthinking at all. Yancy Hastings is really alive."
As she spoke, Fiona Sutton took the ring hanging from her neck out from inside her collar to show him.
"This is the ring he left me when he came to the hospital before."
Saying this, Fiona Sutton’s face was full of excitement.
"He gave it to you?"
Charles Northwood was stunned and immediately walked over, fixing his eyes on it.
He hadn’t seen Fiona Sutton wearing this ring before, and from the craftsmanship, he could tell it was no ordinary ring.
"Did Yancy Hastings really give it to you?"
He had also investigated Yancy Hastings before and was very sure that Yancy Hastings had died.
Why did this ring appear?
"Does Maxwell Peary know about this?"
Fiona Sutton wasn’t quite sure why he brought up Maxwell Peary, but she nodded anyway.
"He knows?"
Charles Northwood frowned deeply; this matter needed to be thoroughly investigated.
"Yes."
"I’ll help you find out more about Yancy Hastings."
Upon hearing Charles Northwood’s words, Fiona Sutton immediately nodded.
She had previously suspected that Charles Northwood’s identity was not simple.
Now that Charles Northwood said he would help her inquire, she was naturally very happy.
Charles Northwood didn’t stay there for long before quickly leaving.
After returning to the family, Charles Northwood immediately went to the main hall.
"I can implement what you mentioned before quickly, but you must agree to my two conditions."
First, find Yancy Hastings.
Second, resolve the Silvia Waterborne incident.
"Alright!"
......
In just a single day, the Silvia Waterborne incident had calmed down considerably.
The most perplexed person was Maxwell Peary.
This matter was not something that could be quickly resolved, even he found it extremely tricky.
And yet this person managed to quell the majority of it in just a day.
This person is not simple.
Maxwell Peary didn’t sleep at all that night, instead investigating this matter.
Nia Mitchell sat cross-legged on the big bed, pouting alone with an unhappy face.
She wanted to go to the study to find Maxwell Peary but feared he would think she was too much of a bother.
"Sigh——"
With a deep sigh again, Nia Mitchell lay back on the bed.
Oh my gosh!
Better just sleep by myself.
......
The next day——
Nia Mitchell got up early, dressed, finished her grooming, and obediently went downstairs for breakfast.
After the butler served a variety of breakfast dishes, he saw Nia Mitchell eating alone and found it odd.
"Madam, where’s the young master?"
This whole time, hasn’t it always been the young master and madam having meals together?
Today is quite strange.
Could they have had an argument?
"He’s still in the study handling matters."
Humph!
Didn’t come back to sleep all night.
Although the matter with the mother-in-law is quite urgent and needs to be dealt with, he shouldn’t neglect his own health like this.
Thinking of this, Nia Mitchell became even more puffed up with anger.
