After hanging up the phone, Adair sat on his chair in a daze.
He threw the cigar in his hand into the ashtray.
Ben looked at him, not knowing what kind of news it was from the phone.
So, he asked subconsciously, “Mr. Mullen, was something wrong?”
Adair responded indifferently, “The Holman family and the Dawson family were wiped out.”
“What?”
“Bang!” Ben stood up from his chair.
The shock in his heart and on his face was even more obvious than Adair’s!
At the same time, Adair muttered to himself, “I have already guessed that this ‘Gavin’ might attack the Holman family and the Dawson family. At that time, he would naturally know about the title deed of the Clifford family. That’s why I want to lure him to Stanlow, but…”
With that, he fell silent.
Seeing that Ben stood up with a dumbfounded expression, he waved his hand helplessly and said, “Well, just sit down. Don’t be anxious. This proves that the person your son is talking about is definitely not Gavin!” “Huh?” Ben was slightly stunned when he heard Adair’s words. Then, he immediately asked, “Why do you say that?”
Adair revealed a disdainful smile on his face and said, “Just think about it. Ten years ago, how old was Gavin? Now, he is only 20 years old! He’s a warrior. How powerful could he be? The Holman family
and the Dawson family all have expert rank’s late-stage warriors! Do you think Gavin, that damn idiot, that piece of trash, can easily destroy such families?”
As Adair said this, a sneer flashed in his eyes, his tone filled with disdain for Gavin.
Ben also revealed a contemplative look on his face hearing what Adair had said and nodded slowly.
“That’s right. No matter what, Gavin definitely won’t become so powerful in ten years!”
“That’s right!” Adair padded his thigh and stood up. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I reckon that he’s just an expert who impersonated Gavin and came to disgust the Four Greatest Families of Brookspring. As you said, he didn’t go to Greenwald. That proves that he doesn’t intend to attack forces beyond Brookspring. So, don’t worry.”
“Even if he came to Stanlow, the Mullen family would teach him a lesson that he would never forget!”
When Adair said this, he revealed a strong sense of confidece in his words!
“The Mullen family will definitely be one that those two trash families, the Holman family and the Dawson family, can’t be compared with! Gavin, this idiot, overestimated himself and thought that just because he destroyed the Holman family and the Dawson family, he could go against the Mullen family. Hmph! I’ll make sure this piece of trash never returns to where he came from!”
Upon hearing Adair’s confident words, Ben was relieved.
He said to Adair, “Since you have said so, I have nothing else to say. I think I should hurry back to Greenwald and find a way to investigate who the person who appeared in Brookspring is.”
Hearing what Ben had said, Adair smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Don’t be anxious. It’s not an easy thing for you to come to Stanlow. How can I not be a good host? I’ll find you a few beautiful girls. Let’s have fun together!”
“Haw-haw…”
On the other side, Gavin, who was far away at Brookspring, had no idea what kind of confidence those men had.
When he returned to his rented apartment, he saw three women waiting for him eagerly.
When they saw that he had returned, the three women stood up in surprise.
“Gavin, you’re back! Let’s go!”
Layla grabbed Gavin’s hand as soon as he heard her crisp voice.
All of these confused Gavin.
“Let’s go? Where are we going? Aren’t we going to have dinner?” “We’re going to dinner!”
Layla smiled sweetly at Gavin and said in her crisp voice, “Gavin, I’ve
reserved a table at Greenvale Hotel. For one thing, it’s not an easy thing for the four of us to get together again. We haven’t celebrated this yet. For another, I have to thank you for doing so many things for me.”
Looking at Layla’s expectant gaze, Gavin didn’t have the heart to dampen the mood, so he smiled and nodded.
Then the four of them set off in high spirits to the Greenvale Hotel in Brookspring!
It was the most luxurious hotel in Brookspring.
Those who ate at this place were all well-known figures in society.
Moreover, this place had a special rule.
That was, it only served customers with reservations.
Moreover, there were only ten private rooms in total, and it only received ten tables of guests every day!
Just as the name suggested, it was located halfway up a mountain on the outskirts of the city.
Now, the four of them took a taxi, arriving at the grand entrance of this place.
It looked like a castle.
At the main entrance of it was the reception.
Before the four of them reached the reception, the staff standing behind it had already smiled and said warmly, “Sir, madam, welcome! What’s your reservation number please?”
As this place did not accept guests without reservation, therefore, all the guests who came here must have made reservations in advance.
Layla stood up and said in a grand manner, “No. 8059, Layla Taylor.” “Okay.”
With a professional smile on his face, the receptionist nodded and said, “I’ll check it right away!”
As he spoke, he took out a tablet and placed it on the table. He entered the number that Layla had just mentioned.
Soon, a line of reservation information appeared on the screen. It read: Reserver, Layla Taylor, Room 6!
Upon seeing this line of words, the receptionist immediately said, “Welcome, Miss Taylor. The room is ready. Please follow me.”
Needless to say, the service of this place was really good.
However, just as the receptionist was about to walk out from behind the high platform, suddenly, from the other side, there was the sound of high heels and hurried footsteps. Then, a woman’s impatient voice was heard. “Look at what you have done! There are already guests in Room 6! Have you forgotten what I told you?”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this voice.
Then, they subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
A woman with heavy makeup, wearing the lobby manager’s uniform, hurried over.
The receptionist, as if hearing this woman’s words, was also stunned. He instantly padded his forehead and said to Layla, “Miss Taylor, I’m really sorry.”
Before the receptionist could finish speaking, Layla’s surprised voice sounded.
“Lydia? Is that you? I didn’t expect to meet you here!”
Upon hearing Layla’s voice, the lobby manager who ran out was also stunned. She looked at Layla and immediately revealed a surprised expression. Then she ran towards Layla and grabbed her hand. “Layla? Long time no see!”
Layla turned to Gavin and made the introduction.
“Gavin, this is Lydia Wallace, my roommate from university. She’s also my best friend. We haven’t seen each other for a long time!”
Gavin gave her a kind smile and nodded at her.
However, Lydia did not seem to care about Gavin and the others at all. She looked behind Layla for a long time before asking suspiciously, “Layla, are you here to eat? I didn’t see Mr. and Mrs. Taylor?”
Layla revealed a forlorn expression on her face when she heard this. Then, she said in a low and helpless voice, “I’m no longer a member of the Taylor family.”
“Huh?” The enthusiasm on Lydia’s face instantly faded like a tide when she heard this.
She let go of Layla’s hand. Then, an obvious look of disdain appeared in her eyes as she said indifferently, “I see. Then why did you come to this place?”
