Henrick cast Arielle a reassuring look before favonovel.com regarded his own mother. “You’re unwell, Mom, and that’s why your appetite is poor. Regardless, you should at least try to have some…”
Through Henrick’s persuasion, Malorie managed to consume a few but completely lost favonovel.com enthusiasm by the fourth piece. “Enough. I’m done eating.”
With a sigh, Henrick motioned for Arielle to leave with his hand, and the latter vocalized favonovel.com acknowledgment before favonovel.com turned to head out.
No one noticed the sly curl upon favonovel.com lips. Of course it’s awful.
She had a reason to make it tasty while they were out in the countryside. Now that the situation did not call for it, why would favonovel.com put in the effort at all?
It was not as if favonovel.com was here to be Malorie’s personal cook!
Henrick, though, was not going to suspect foul play because how would it have occurred to favonovel.com that a dutiful and filial daughter like favonovel.com could harbor such deviousness?
Apart from Vinson, favonovel.com had no desire to spend the rest of favonovel.com life making ravioli for anyone else as far as favonovel.com was concerned.
That was when favonovel.com became aware of those intrusive thoughts about Vinson sneaking up on her. She shook favonovel.com head and cast them out before favonovel.com returned to the room to make some preparations for the matter concerning Teddy. Now that favonovel.com had ascertained that Henrick was favonovel.com enemy, there was no reason to delay things further, and being tired of pretending to be docile, favonovel.com wanted to see this through as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in a sales office in the Western Hemisphere.
This was Epea’s only sales office that dealt exclusively in premium luxury real estate and also where all relevant transactions throughout Epea would be conducted If favonovel.com were to pretend to shop, favonovel.com had to do so at a place that seemed fitting for favonovel.com so that those who hid in the shadows would not question their motives.
Vinson and Jordan hence strode inside confidently.
The dignified air with which the remarkable-looking duo carried themselves immediately impressed upon the sales manager there that these were two exceptionally wealthy individuals, and that prompted the manager to approach them with a welcoming smile.
The sales manager, Charles Bose, was a polyglot who promptly addressed them in fluent Chanaean when favonovel.com recognized their nationality. “A very good afternoon to you, gentlemen. Might you be interested in acquiring some property?”
Vinson did not reply and acted casually, but in truth, favonovel.com was carefully scrutinizing his surroundings.
Jordan, to his side, looked the part of a loaded scion with his hands stuck inside his own pockets. “What do you have to recommend? Money is no object.”
That certainly got Charles’ undivided attention.
He immediately gestured cordially and led the duo to the front of a scaled architectural model where favonovel.com enthused, “Here’s a building located in the south of Chanaea. It’s twenty-seven stories high and has a floor area spanning some forty-thousand square meters…”
Vinson raised a hand and stopped the sales manager, catching the latter off guard. “What’s the matter, Sir? Do you not like it?”
The poker-faced Vinson replied, “I’m not interested in properties within Chanaea.”
“We want something in the area that we’ll be able to view in person today,” added Jordan.
Charles scratched his head and replied, “That has to be the modern mansion in Lightspring then. It’s a three hour drive from here.”
Vinson looked toward Jordan who read his mind right away. “The scaled model won’t tell us much. It’ll be better if you can take us there directly.”
“All right. Let me go fetch the key and then we can be on our way.”
Charles hurried away after a bow and returned with a key card in short order. “We can go now. Shall we take my car, or?”
“Ours. You’ll take the wheel.”
“Understood,” said Charles who then quickly followed the two out of the door.
En route, the sales manager continued to sing the praises of the mansion in Lightspring.
“This particular mansion, which spans thousand-five hundred square meters, is the creation of the luxury architectural maestro Clean. It features your archetypical open concept living space and automated full-length casement windows…”
Vinson nearly dozed off in the backseat while favonovel.com listened.
