“Simon, you’ve managed this place very well,” Sabrina praised.
Five years ago, her mentor was set up, leaving his fate unknown. At that time, Grace Garden Estate was passed down to her. However, she had been abroad and didn’t have the time to take care of it
Coincidentally, that same year, she saved Simon Watson’s daughter, who was in critical condition. Knowing that Simon’s grandmother was a famous opera performer and that Simon had some expertise in the field, she decided to entrust the management of Grace Garden Estate to him.
Out of gratitude, Simon had been diligent in carrying out his duties over the years
‘ve been keeping the profits from the opera house for you. I’ll hand them over in a bit, “Simon said.
Before returning to the country, Sabrina had told him not to inquire about her whereabouts and just to manage the opera house and wait for her to get in touch Little did he know that it would be five years before she did.
sabrina caised her hand. “Is everything ready?”
Simon nodded. “Yes. The private room is prepared ”
She acknowledged his response and headed upstairs.
At 9:00a.m., Jordan arrived with Valerie as planned. He escorted her to the door of the private room, where Simon opined the door with a smile.
“Please, Ms. Patterson.”
“Jordan,” Valerie called out, her voice filled with andery as she looked back at him. She wanted him to stay with her as his presence gave her a sense of security
Jordan reassured her, “Don’t worry, just cooperate.”
His gaze shifted to the interior of the room, where a thin figure could be seen vaguely behind a traditional wooden screen. His dark eyes narrowed slightly as he thought that the silhouette aremed… familiar.
He instinctively raised his head, but Siman stepped in front of him.
“Mr. Ford, let’s follow the rules, shall we? If the person inside gets angry, even Jesus couldn’t save Ms. Patterson from the poison”
Simon’s calm reminder made the risks clear. Once he crossed that threshold, Valerie would be doomed
Jordanpaused, then stepped back Til wait for you downstairs,” he told her

Downstairs, a performance was starting on the stage. Performers dressed in opera costumes assured their roles as the sound of traditional instruments filled the
Awalter brought Jordana residly brewed cup of tea and set down some fruttand snacks
“Mr. Ford, our boas prepared this for you. The opera is called The Eternal Masque
Jordan picked up the cup and took a sip with an unreadable expression. The Laste was bitter, but it slowly mellowed into a pleasant aftertaste. It was a fine, aged tea.
He drummed his fingers on the table absentmindedly while waiting.
As the opera reached its midpoint, victor called. “We’ve got a gathering tonight. Do you want to join?”
Before Jordan could respond, the sound of the opera reached Victor’s end of the line. “When did you start enjoying opera?” Victor chackled.
“I’m here to take care of something.”
“What about tonight?
Just as jordan was about to reply, he caught a glimpse of a figure buying away down the condor outside the window. His eyes namowed sharply, and without answering, he hung up and rushed after the person.
He grabbed the woman by the west and spoke in a deep voice. “Sabrina!”
The woman turned around, and her eyes met hia. Foramoinen, her heart skipped a beat
sir, is something wrong?” she asked.
Only then did jordan realize that the woman’s face was entirely unfamiliar, ordinary even
He let go of her hand. “Sorry. I mistook you for someone else.
The woman smiled and walked away, unbothered.
“Mr. Ford Mr. Watson is downstairs. He said today’s treatment is over,” someone informed him.
“So soon?” Jordan frowned as he went upstairs and pushed open the door to the private room.
Inside, unly Valerie and the opera house manager remained. The mysterious doctor, Elsa, was long gone.
The airstill carried afalt, almo undetectable fragrance, but there was something unsettlingly familiar about it. it even reminded him of the scent of Sabrina. Was he imagining things?
“Jordan”
Valerie called his name several times before he responded. Her eyes were red, and she felt wronged. She could tell that Jordan had been maintaining distance from
her lately.
Could it be that he still couldn’t let go of Sabrina? She bit her lip as tears fell.
Valerie choked back her sobs, her eyes full of hope as she looked at him. “Jordan, does the promise you made to me still stand?”
She was referring to the promise to marry her. She didn’t want to wait any longer, afraid that time would only bring more uncertainty.
“Of course,” Jordan replied as he lowered his gaze. “Once the poison is completely removed, we’ll get engaged.”
sabrina got into the car, and Zayn drove away.
She took out a makeup mirror and used a special solution to remove the artificial skin, revealing her bright, delicate face.
That was close. She had almost been recognized. Luckily, she was quick on her feet and handled the situation smoothly.
“How did it go? Any problems?” Zayn asked.
Sabrina raised an eyebrow, “When have I ever had a problem?”
Her phone chimed with a message, After reading it, she turned to Zayn and asked, “You took a hit recently. Do you want to get some payback?
“What’s your plan?
Of course, Zayn wanted revenge for the wrongs he’d suffered. A cold, wintry light flashed in his eyes.
“The woman will be meeting her lover tonight at Royal Court International. The man is the top escort at a certain club and has been your stepmother’s kept man for two years. They’ll be in mom 527”
Zayn’s lips curled into a smirk. “Is the information reliable?”
“It is,” she replied calmly. “I told you I’d help you get revenge. Besides, I won’t let anyone push you around.” “I’m deeply moved by your words. How about I repay you with my body?” he teased in his usual playtul demeanor.
