Chapter 383 It Is a Reluctant Engagement

Hanging up the phone, Hearst returned to the room in the basement.

Cristian fell to the ground and his entire body was dirty.

Black blood flowed out from his mouth and nose, his body constantly twitching, looking extremely terrifying.

Hearst frowned. The atmosphere became tense.

"What happened?"

The scene was too bloody. Samuel only glanced at it and did not look at it again.

It was not that he was afraid, but he was afraid that he would not be able to eat at night due to nausea.

Samuel said, "You asked us to feed him a little of the chronic poison that he gave you before. Today, we came down to feed him the medicine. He was pretending to be obedient and taking the medicine. When our people were not paying attention, he directly grabbed the medicine bottle and ate it all.

"We helped him with his vomiting, but he couldn't spit out the medicine. He ate the antidote just now. However, he swallowed too much medicine at once, and the antidote was useless.

"It has only been half an hour, and he has already been like this..."

Hearst ordered in a low voice, "Take him to wash his stomach, and then give him the antidote again."

He planned to slowly torture Cristian. Death was the lightest punishment for him.

"I'll get someone to do it now."

After arranging the tasks for his subordinates, Samuel remembered something and said, "Hearst, Linda came to find you today. She wants to ask about the whereabouts of your father and Cristian. Do you want to see her?"

"No, tell her that her husband will return safe and sound in a while. She needs to be obedient."

"Then... What about Cristian?"

"It depends on his fortune."

Whether Cristian lost his arm and leg or his life depended on Hearst's idea.

The main part of the Hornsby's house was a garden villa. The building area was more than 33 thousand square feet. The overall structure was based on black and white. It was exquisite and luxurious.

There were many antiques placed in the hall on the first floor of the villa. The paintings on the walls were all made by masters. The total value of the things in the hall was enough for others to buy another garden villa.

Judging from the decoration outside, the Hornsby family seemed to like showing off.

The Hornsby family and the Malpas family were old friends. After Anaya and Carlee arrived, Edson Hornsby personally came to receive them. He was the most honorable person in the Hornsby family.

After the greetings, Edson looked at Anaya with a kind smile, "Carlee, is this your daughter?

"I heard that she comes from the Dutt family in America. She made a lot of achievements after taking over Riven Group last year. She is excellent.

"If Nadia is as good as Anaya, our company will have good development." Carlee smiled happily. "Mr. Hornsby, it's Ana's honor to receive your praise. Ana is just a lucky girl."

Nadia interrupted, "Riven Group lost because of her. She's just trying to revive her family business. Is she that powerful?"

Nadia was one of the best in the generation of the Hornsby family. In addition, she was the youngest. Usually, the elders doted on her and she was the one who was praised the most.

Nadia was very unhappy about Edson's high praise of Anaya.

Anaya looked at Nadia with a fake smile. "Yes. Nothing is amazing. When you still need to ask for living expenses from your family, I have started to win a project of billions of dollars. Ms. Hornsby, it is not worth mentioning."

Her words were sarcastic. Nadia was immediately provoked. "You..."

"Nadia, you have to be polite in front of the guests!" Edson looked at her cautiously.

He thought, Nadia is going to marry into the Malpas family. She has not married yet. If she ruins her relationship with the Malpas family, it will have a lot of negative impact on her future life.

Nadia bit her lips unwillingly and did not say anything else.

Seeing that, Edson shifted his gaze back to Carlee, "Carlee, Nadia has

always been in school and is not good at socializing. Please forgive her."

Nadia and Anaya clashed. Edson scolded Nadia just now. Logically speaking, Carlee should scold Anaya too.

However, Carlee did not do so.

"That's true. She'd better learn from Ana and practice more."

Edson was speechless.

He thought, what the hell?

This is not in line with social etiquette.

Edson laughed embarrassedly. "Carlee, you are good at joking."

Carlee raised her eyebrows, "Am I looking like joking?"

Edson was speechless again.

Anaya did not expect such a scenario. Seeing Edson's subtle expression,

she said, "Mr. Hornsby, don't mind it. My mother likes to make jokes like

this. She has no intention of offending you."

This time, Carlee did not speak again.

She thought, my daughter is always right! I agree with her.

Edson smiled and did not linger on this topic any longer. "Where is Jaylon?

Why isn't he with you?"

Carlee explained, "The Mimo Group has yet to establish itself in America.

There are a lot of things to do.

"He was already back today, but he encountered a sudden situation and returned to America.

"Mr. Hornsby, Jaylon asked me to apologize to you and Ms. Hornsby on his

behalf."

Before Edson spoke, Nadia said, "Is there something going on in the

company, or is he going to meet a woman?"

She added, "Ms. Harward is his mistress, isn't she? Don't think that I don't

know..."

"Nadia!" Seeing that she was getting more and more overboard, Edson

reprimanded her again, "That's enough! Don't disturb Carlee and Ms. Dutt!"

Nadia pouted, "Alright, alright, alright. I'll go somewhere else."

After that, she left without looking back.

"Carlee, I'm sorry. I'll discipline her later."

It was unknown how many times Edson apologized for his rebellious

granddaughter.

Carlee nodded and did not pursue the matter.

This was the first time that Anaya heard that Reina was Jaylon's mistress.

She wanted to find out the reason, so she greeted Carlee and went to find

Nadia.

The corridor on the second floor was empty.

A man with a cold expression but seemed to be a little flustered walked

quickly from the open-air balcony at the end of the corridor.

"Mr. Giles," Anaya called out to him. "Have you seen Ms. Hornsby?"

Hearing this, Landin hesitated and said, "It might not be convenient for her

to see you now."

"Why?"

Before Landin answered, a charming voice came from the balcony.

"You are so awesome..."

Anaya knew what had happened over there.

She had heard before that Nadia and Jaylon's engagement existed in name Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

only. They all had their lovers.

However, she did not expect Nadia to be so daring that she directly brought

the man home.
