"Mr. Drexler, are you satisfied with our plans?" At this moment, the blond man sitting opposite asked Noah Drexler in somewhat broken Chinese.
Hearing the voice, Noah Drexler slightly furrowed his brows, suddenly realizing he had been lost in thought...
For so many years, he has always been meticulous and serious about work, never having such a situation occur.
The expression on his handsome face changed slightly, and then, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Sorry, I have something to attend to, I must leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Flynn Hughes beside him, and Flynn understandingly flashed a smile at the blond man.
"Mr. Kyle, I will discuss the remaining matters with you carefully."
Hearing this, the blond man nodded.
Noah Drexler had already turned around, leaving the meeting room.
...
Noah Drexler walked out of the elevator to the entrance of the building, only to discover it was raining outside.
Seeing him come out, the driver got off the car with an umbrella, handing the black umbrella to Sean Morgan.
Sean Morgan opened the umbrella, and Noah Drexler strode to the car, opened the door, and got in.
The car drove all the way back to The Hillside Villa.
By now, it was already ten o’clock.
"Sir, we’ve arrived." The driver’s prompt sounded.
Noah Drexler did not immediately get out of the car, but raised his head, glancing at the window of the second-floor bedroom.
The bedroom window was dark, no lights could be seen.
He furrowed his brows, has she already gone to sleep?
After a moment, he pushed open the car door and got out.
As soon as he stepped into the villa, the butler met him and, seeing it was only he and Sean Morgan who entered, couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
"Sir, you’ve returned, why isn’t Madam with you?"
Upon hearing the butler’s words, Noah Drexler was surprised and asked with a frown.
"She’s not at home?"
"Yes, Madam was originally waiting for you, but suddenly grabbed an umbrella and asked the driver to take her out. She didn’t go to the company to find you?" The butler nodded and said, as he looked at the heavy rain outside, his face full of concern for Summer Shawcross.
"In this weather, it’s easy to catch a cold. Why didn’t I remind her to wear more clothes when she went out?"
Listening to the butler’s words, Noah Drexler glanced at the heavy rain outside, recalling the phone call during the meeting, and the expression on his handsome face turned complex.
...
Standing at the gate of a somewhat old villa in the old district of Narsus City.
Summer Shawcross held an umbrella, standing in front of the rusty iron gate...
The place before her was The Shawcross Family residence, where she lived from childhood.
She hadn’t returned here for many years.
Unexpectedly, the place was even more desolate than she had imagined.
A feeling of loneliness suddenly welled up inside her...
She raised her hand, touching the padlock on the iron gate, but as soon as she touched it, the lock fell to the ground due to rust and corrosion.
"Madam, if you need to find anything, I can go for you." The voice of the driver came from behind.
Summer Shawcross shook her head, turned to instruct the driver, "Wait here for me, I’ll be out soon."
As soon as she spoke, she held the umbrella, turned on a flashlight, and walked inside.
The once flourishing mansion was now overgrown with weeds, the once beautiful garden filled with various plants she did not recognize.
Under the tree, her favorite white swing from childhood was covered with creeping plants, rendering it unrecognizable.
