“Afterwards, the people eating barbecue surrounded him.” Doris said, “And that old man ran away.”
“Doris.” Emmeline said, “You misunderstood Waylon.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Doris was puzzled, “Mr. Waylon hit the old man, and he’s right?”
“That’s a bad man getting old.” Emmeline said, “He deserves a beating! Even if I see him, I’ll also beat him!”
“I don’t understand,” Doris looked confused, “What could an old man possibly have done wrong?”
“If it is him, he has committed a great sin!” Emmeline said, “This is our family affairs. I can’t explain to you.”
“That’s bad.” Doris said, “It seems like I’ve wrongly accused Mr. Waylon, and I’ve made him so angry that he went to the wine party alone.”
“What time is the wine party?” Emmeline frowned.
Doris answered, “I only know it’s at noon.”
Emmeline glanced at her phone and saw that it was 11.30 am.
“Quickly go upstairs and change into your formal dress. I’ll take you there, and we may be there on time.” Emmeline said.
“This…” Doris was a little stunned, “Is this okay?”
“Are you suggesting that I go instead?” Emmeline said, “After all, it’s a wine party. He asked you to go. There must be a reason.”
“Well,” Doris also became anxious, “Then I’ll go upstairs and change dress.”
Doris hurriedly went upstairs with the package box while Emmeline called Waylon.
Waylon quickly answered the call, and his deep and pleasant voice came through, “Emma?”
“Brother.” Emmeline asked, “Which party are you at?”
“Blue Sky Villa.” Mr. Waylon said in a low voice, “It’s a small private party. Not many guests are invited.”
“Got it.” Emmeline said, “I’ll send Doris to you in about half an hour.”
Waylon was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Alright, I’ll inform the gatekeeper. She can come in directly when she arrives. No need to bring a gift. I’ve already prepared one.”
“Okay.” Emmeline nodded and hung up the phone.
In a few minutes, Doris changed into a formal dress and applied some makeup with Sam’s cosmetics.
Emmeline looked at her and thought this woman was truly beautiful.
“Let’s go.” she smiled and said, “Waylon is waiting for you.”
Doris blushed.
Abel stood from his chair and said, “The car is waiting at the entrance.”
Emmeline immediately grabbed Doris and hurriedly went out.
Abel and Luca followed shortly after.
Parking was not allowed at the entrance to Nightfall Café, so everyone had to be quick.
Half an hour later, Abel’s Rolls-Royce arrived at Blue Sky Villa.
At first, Emmeline thought Blue Sky Villa was a club or restaurant.
It turned out to be a villa halfway up the mountain.
“Who lives here?” Emmeline asked Abel.
Emmeline and Doris were sitting in the back seat, and Abel was in the front passenger seat.
“It’s the residence of Director Liam’s parents.” Abel said, “Today is his mom’s birthday, but they don’t want unnecessary attention, so they invite a few guests yearly.”
“The director is not in a high-ranking position,” Emmeline said. “But a hospital is being built in Struyria, under their jurisdiction. I guess Waylon came because of that.”
“My guess is different from yours.” Abel chuckled, “Director Liam has a daughter of marriageable age named Lily, who just returned from abroad. I guess they invited Waylon because of her.”
“No wonder Waylon asked Doris to come. It seems he knows what’s going on.” Emmeline suddenly realized.
“I hope I didn’t cause any trouble for him?” Doris felt a bit uneasy. After all, she had signed an agreement with Waylon.
Moreover, Waylon had given her a bank card in advance.
She checked the balance on the card, and it was over one million!
Last time, Waylon even said taking someone’s money was like taking away their disaster.
But she took the money and did not go to the party with him.
Doris’s face was a bit flushed.
However, Emmeline did not notice.
“It’s not too late.” Emmeline smiled at her, “You have to help him out and don’t let him hook up with Lily.”
