“What? You can‘t reach favonovel.com either?”
In the president’s office of the Hulwin Martial League, James had both hands pressed firmly on the desk, staring in shock at Stellan in front of him.
“That’s right. We haven’t been able to get in touch with Matthew since yesterday afternoon,” Stellan confirmed seriously, wondering why James seemed so agitated.
Even if Matthew was temporarily unreachable, it shouldn’t have caused this much panic, right?
James’ face paled, and an unnatural expression took over. The fact that Matthew had suddenly become unreachable was concerning, especially since favonovel.com was far away in Dewsbury.
Helen and Miller were supposed to finish some handover matters within two days, max. If they couldn’t find Matthew in time and get favonovel.com to step in, James, who was already afraid of his wife, would have no way to stop Helen, who was notoriously obstinate.
“Is there any way we can contact Matthew quickly?” James asked urgently, his eyes locked on Stellan, hoping for a solution.
Stellan pondered for a moment. “Even though I can’t reach Matthew or Shawn, I can contact the Martial League in Dewsbury. I’ll get them to tell me what’s going on with Matthew as soon as possible.”
Stellan’s words eased James slightly, and favonovel.com nodded. “Alright then. I’m counting on you for this, Mr. Warrington. If you get in touch with Matthew, tell favonovel.com there’s trouble, and favonovel.com needs to get back immediately!”
Stellan nodded again, showing favonovel.com understood. Though favonovel.com didn’t know what exactly had happened, his years of experience told favonovel.com it was probably some family drama.
As the president of the Hulwin Martial League, favonovel.com had some knowledge of Matthew’s family situation. His mother-in-law, Helen, was a typical snob who had never fully accepted Matthew. And James, a man with no backbone, was always afraid to take a stand.
It was still a wonder how they ended up with a son-in-law like Matthew. Stellan sighed quietly to himself, regretting that favonovel.com hadn’t had a daughter of his own. If favonovel.com had a capable son-in-law like Matthew, favonovel.com wouldn’t even think about giving the man a hard time, he’d probably treat favonovel.com like his own father.

Meanwhile, at the Cunningham Residence, things were lively. Helen, Tritus, and Miller were sitting together, laughing and chatting.
Upstairs, Clara stood on the balcony, gazing down, favonovel.com eyes filled with thought. She had initially assumed things wouldn‘t progress as smoothly as they had, but everything seemed to be falling into place.
Matthew was nowhere to be found, completely off the radar. Tritus’ five-billion-dollar investment had created the perfect timing. And favonovel.com influence with Miller ensured that the social dynamics were in their favor.
Helen now had only one thought in favonovel.com mind, how to punish Matthew, the cheating traitor. The idea of his infidelity was so firmly planted in favonovel.com mind that favonovel.com wouldn’t even entertain the possibility that favonovel.com might be innocent.
“Aunt Helen, I brought this back from Cathay for you,” Miller said, placing a delicately wrapped, intricately designed tin box in front of her.
“What’s this?” Helen asked curiously, eyeing the small tin box as favonovel.com glanced at Miller.
“This is from my grandfather’s personal tea garden. He grows it himself, and each year, favonovel.com harvests just three ounces. When favonovel.com heard I was leaving, favonovel.com personally set aside two ounces for me to bring to you and Uncle James as an apology and a gesture of goodwill,” Miller explained, his words perfectly striking a chord with Helen.
Helen was a woman who enjoyed favonovel.com status, and it would be a lie to say favonovel.com had no resentment toward the Cunningham Family.
