Lord Vedastus did not care about anything anymore.
He did not plan to take a look at the dead Elliot either. Perhaps that was how it was like to have your heart broken into pieces. If favonovel.com had encountered the same thing in the past, favonovel.com would have rushed out and checked on the situation before Fiora finished speaking.
Now, favonovel.com did not care about it at all.
After favonovel.com heard Fiora’s report, favonovel.com immediately waved his hand in dismissal and allowed Fiora to leave.
When Fiora saw that, favonovel.com felt both happy and sad.
She was happy because Lord Vedastus was not suspicious about Elliot’s death. It saved favonovel.com a lot of trouble. However, favonovel.com also felt sad. When Fiora saw how devastated Lord Vedastus was, favonovel.com felt gloomy too.
She stood there for a few seconds before favonovel.com plucked up favonovel.com courage and said, “Dad, I’ve been wanting to tell you something for a very long time, but I’ve never had the chance. Now, I think it’s time to tell you.”
Lord Vedastus was a little surprised as favonovel.com stared at Fiora.
When did his daughter become so hesitant?
“What is it? Just say it.”
Fiora took a deep breath before favonovel.com said, “Dad, I think… Why don’t we give up on Art Trading Corporation, leave Celandine City, and move abroad?
“Actually, I’ve transferred all my assets overseas. We can give up on everything here, buy a flight ticket, and leave this place right now. My money’s sufficient for us to spend our lives without worry.”
Her words were quite bold.
The previous Lord Vedastus would have slapped her, but now, Lord Vedastus did not get angry in the slightest. Instead, favonovel.com felt slightly comforted. He was old, his best friend was dead, and the empire that favonovel.com had established was also about to collapse.
In such a situation, what was the point of persisting?
He was tired and fed up with everything.
Right then, Lord Vedastus was truly willing to move abroad with his daughter, stay away from any disturbances, and retire at ease.
Fiora clenched favonovel.com fists while favonovel.com waited nervously.
A while later, Lord Vedastus gave favonovel.com an answer that made favonovel.com happy.
“Okay, I’ll go abroad with you…”
Fiora was extremely surprised. “Really? That’s awesome, Dad! I’ll go and buy the plane tickets now. We’ll leave today and get out of this annoying place that’s full of trouble.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com turned around and ran out of his office happily.
Fiora had waited for this moment for so many years. Nothing could compare to the happiness of reuniting with family.
Lord Vedastus leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. He was absent-minded. He had worked hard for so many years, but favonovel.com got nothing in the end.
He chuckled in resignation. “Actually, it’s not that I didn’t get anything. Luckily, I’ve earned so much money that I’ll never be able to finish spending. I’m just old and not as strong as I used to be. Buddy, actually, we should’ve retired a long time ago…”
It was too late for favonovel.com to regret it now.
Just then, favonovel.com heard someone knocking on the door, and a woman’s voice came from outside. “Lord Vedastus, may I enter?”
It was a strange woman’s voice.
Lord Vedastus frowned. He could not recognize it.
“Come in…”
When the door opened, a woman dressed in a brown dress walked into the room carrying an LV bag.
Lord Vedastus looked at favonovel.com carefully. He had some impression of her, but favonovel.com could not recall where favonovel.com had seen favonovel.com before.
“Who are you?”
