Sumr imagined Damian Knight’s smug expression just from looking at the text ssage.
Her fingers flew across the screen as she replied, "One al of dumplings, you pick the filling."
Damian Knight chuckled on the other end; was Sumr treating him like a child?
He responded, "You’ve already promised to make dumplings for for the rest of your life. How about this, accompany to a banquet next week. It’s decided."
Damian Knight didn’t give her a chance to refuse.
Sumr looked at her phone screen, her expression slightly helpless.
She didn’t like doing things that didn’t help her purpose for returning, especially events like banquets that required her to appear in front of many people.
But strangely, she didn’t mind Damian Knight’s banquet invitation.
Sumr always followed her heart, so she didn’t refuse and replied briefly with an "Okay."
The car drove steadily, as Sumr watched the scenery outside the window retreating, her thoughts scattered.
Even though Stella Monroe had been temporarily sent away by her, Sumr believed that given Stella Monroe’s ans, she would definitely return soon.
Although the thod was uncertain, Stella would surely co back.
Therefore, she needed to take advantage of the ti Stella Monroe was away, bribing all the manor’s servants, and search the manor thoroughly.
Perhaps she could uncover so clues or old stories.
The ti Stella was away allowed her to do many things, which was why she suggested sending Stella to the temple for reflection, despite knowing she would soon return.
After returning ho, Henry Stanton arranged for a visiting doctor to treat her wounds.
Though nurous, the wounds were not serious, and with the best dicine prescribed by the doctor, they shouldn’t leave scars.
Upon hearing there’d be no scars, Henry Stanton breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Sadie, you need to be extra careful about your safety from now on."
Sumr nodded, feigning gratitude, "Thank you, Dad, I’ll take care of myself and not make you worry."
Henry Stanton nodded satisfactorily and went to the study to do the accounting.
He needed to ask Damian Knight for money as discreetly as possible.
For so reason, the company’s projects over these years, which were supposed to be sure winners, ended up losing money. If this continues, he won’t be able to bear it any longer.
So he needed to restore healthy cash flow quickly to seize any chance of a coback.
anwhile, Damian Knight returned to the Kingston Family with Isaac Ross.
Julian Kingston and Ryder Quinn had been trapped and only returned to the Kingston Family now.
The four t and exchanged information.
Julian Kingston spoke, "Those people are quite skilled. I recognize one of them; he’s ranked third on the assassin list. It seems like the forces behind them are very powerful to have soone from the top ten serving them."
Ryder Quinn reached out to check the injuries on Damian Knight, ensuring there was nothing serious before relaxing.
Among the four major families, Knight Family led the way, and among the four of them, Damian Knight was the core. If anything happened to Damian Knight, they would all face severe repercussions from the hidden enemy.
Of course, Ryder Quinn’s concern for Damian Knight stemd purely from brotherly affection.
As Ryder Quinn relaxed, he angrily gritted, "That guy is like a hidden viper; we don’t know who he is. Without finding him, we can’t fight back!"
"Who said we can’t find him?" Damian Knight spoke calmly, with a hint of elusive pride in his tone.
Ryder Quinn and Julian Kingston simultaneously asked, "What do you an by that?"
