They couldn’t hide their surprise at the return of the young master, whose absence had left them puzzled.Curiosity lingered on the faces of all the staff within the mansion as they observed the car drive in.Travis parked his car and alighted out of it. He had arrived slightly ahead of schedule, and he could only hope that his father would be present to receive him, for he was unaware of his arrival.Stepping across the threshold into the mansion, Travis couldn’t help but observe the numerous changes that had occurred during his extended absence

At the grounds of the mansion, Travis and his father, Leon, found themselves seated across from each other at an elegant outdoor setting. A round table graced their presence, adorned with a selection of wines that lay at the center, their presence lending an air of sophistication to the scene.With an inquisitive gleam in his eyes, Leon sought to unveil the purpose behind this conversation. His genuine curiosity was paired with a hint of concern, stemming from the knowledge that Travis’s journey to Mainville City signaled the importance of the topic at hand. “So, about Gerald Kramer… What is it that has prompted this discussion? Why do you wish to talk about him?” Leon inquired, eager to glean insight into the heart of the matter.Travis proceeded to pour a glass of wine for himself as he contemplated the best way to convey his concerns. It was evident that the issue weighed heavily on his mind. “It is indeed a significant matter, Dad,” Travis affirmed, his gaze steady as he raised

Travis regarded Annabelle with a hint of skepticism, as though she had just revealed something utterly perplexing. “You had a feeling I’d be here today. I didn’t inform anyone, not even Devon,” he stated, his brow furrowing with confusion.In response, Annabelle sported an innocent smile and casually remarked, “I was tipped off by one of the security guards. I requested that they notify me whenever you decided to set foot in this mansion. I was genuinely surprised when I received the information.”Travis let out a resigned sigh and nodded. “Well, I came here for—”“Business, I know,” Annabelle interjected, her tone understanding. “That’s okay. We can grab a meal later in the day.”Travis scrutinized Annabelle for a moment, seeing how serious she was about wanting to hang out with him. He glanced at his wristwatch and replied, “I do have an appointment right now, Anna, but once I’m finished, we can go out for a drink or something.”to conceal her bubbling excitement, her lips gently ni

Anna observed Travis and Devon as they entered the restaurant, a somewhat strained smile gracing her features.As they approached her, she couldn't help but let out a somewhat awkward chuckle, her attempt at concealing her surprise, "I didn't know Devon would be here too."Devon, understanding the underlying tension, gave her a knowing look and gently shook his head. He proceeded to take a seat across from her. However, just as Travis was about to sit down beside Devon, Anna interjected, her tone suggestive, "Why don't you sit beside me instead?"Both Travis and Devon exchanged bemused glances at her in response to her remark. Devon, unperturbed, quipped, "What's so special about the chair beside you, Anna? Let's not make a fuss, Travis, so just sit."Clearly irritated by Devon, Anna huffily took her own seat, though reluctantly. Travis followed suit, sensing the unspoken tension between Anna and Devon. Perplexed, he inquired, "Is something amiss here?" His attention was now fixed o

Travis couldn't help but furrow his brow as he observed the unfolding drama between Olivia and her mysterious companion, Ben. The man was grinning smugly and held Olivia's face, asserting his dominance in a rather possessive manner.With a concerned expression, Ben questioned, "So, now you're mine, Olivia, but it vexes me that you're still with another man. A man of my stature, Benson Jones, doesn't share his woman with other men. It's a blow to my pride."Eager to reassure him, Olivia hastily responded, "Oh no, Ben, my love, you don't need to worry. I haven't allowed that worthless guy to touch me since we've been together. I couldn't possibly open myself to such a pauper; my body belongs solely to you, Ben. You're the only one it will ever serve. Trust me, you have my full devotion!"Travis couldn't help but mutter to himself, finding the situation oddly comical.Olivia continued her explanation, "To be honest, I've been contemplating ending things with him for a while. I used the e

Edwin.The name echoed in Travis’ mind like a haunting refrain as he departed from the hospital, his head swathed in bandages. He couldn’t afford to linger, though, because unfinished business called to him, compelling him to make a swift return home.As he made his way to the car, Damien, who had been a steadfast presence throughout the ordeal, voiced his concerns. “Are you certain you shouldn’t stay back and focus on your recovery? You still don’t look well,” Damien said, his tone laced with genuine worry as he held the passenger door open.Travis acknowledged the concern with a weary sigh, locking eyes with Damien before getting into the car. “I appreciate it, but I need to head home. I’ll get myself checked at the hospital once I’m back in Grove City. I can’t stay away any longer; my family needs me.”With a nod of understanding, Damien slid into the driver's seat, firmly shutting the car door, and ignited the engine as they began their journey toward the Danforth Manor.As they c

"Why are you here, officers?" Bianca inquired, a mix of fear and curiosity evident in her voice. Deep down, she had an inkling that the matter concerned her son, and it didn't bode well.The two male officers bowed slightly in apology as they began to explain, "We apologize, Mr. Danforth, but we received a tip, and it's our duty to follow up on such leads—"Curiosity piqued, Leon interjected, "What tip are you referring to?"One of the officers disclosed their motive with a solemn expression, "Drug-related activities. We received information indicating that your son, Edwin Cooper, is potentially involved in drug trafficking. We are here to search his belongings for any evidence." Edwin's mouth dropped open in sheer shock, and he glanced at his mother, who wore an equally perplexed expression. At that moment, both mother and son were utterly bewildered by these allegations.Leon, frowning in disbelief, asked, "And you have a search warrant to conduct such a search?"The officer prompt
