Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze
As he walked, he asked, "I heard Flynn say you ran a blood test for your mother. How is it? What are the results?" Baron knew Waylon would ask about this and quickly told him the results. Waylon's face was terrifyingly grim. Flynn was absolutely furious. "That Rachel, I will find her and tear her to shreds, even if I have to search heaven and earth!" "Let's go inside first." Waylon didn't stop his son from saying that. After that single comment, he headed toward the living room. Natalie had already seen Waylon and Flynn from the floor-to-ceiling window. She immediately walked out to meet them. "Dad, you’re back? Are there any leads from the police station? Did Logan confess who ordered him to do this?" Natalie's question made Waylon pause his steps. He then shook his head. "Let's go inside first." Waylon led everyone into the living room and sat down on the sofa. Baron immediately had the servants serve tea. The servants were discerning and retreated after serving the drinks. Baron saw Waylon’s grim expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, did something happen to Logan?" Waylon glanced at Baron in slight surprise, but then, remembering Baron's identity, he looked relieved."Yes, shortly after we arrived at the police station, and before questioning could even begin, Logan suddenly started foaming at the mouth and convulsing. The police immediately rushed him to the nearest hospital, but he passed away before they even reached the hospital. The doctor said he died suddenly from a drug overdose. The police also checked and found he had a history of drug use spanning over a decade." Waylon's eyes were very dark. Of all times to die, Logan died suddenly just as such a major murder case was uncovered at the Stone family ancestral home. No matter what, Logan was a collateral relative of the Stone family, and this incident would still affect the Stone family. It’s truly a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel. Waylon now wondered if this matter would affect his eldest son Moses' future. Natalie's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "It's too much of a coincidence. It's as if someone has been constantly watching us and calculating every step according to our actions." "You're right. So there must still be people from the opposing side among us; I just don't know who they are yet." Waylon was genuinely frustrated. Baron said quietly, "This is my territory, and my people are trustworthy. Dad and Mom can stay here with peace of mind." "Thank goodness for you." Waylon looked at Baron, his eyes filled with satisfaction. Flynn didn't speak, tinkering with something on his phone with his head down, and Waylon didn't bother him. "I'll go check on your mother. Now all the leads are broken. We still have to cooperate with the police investigation regarding the ancestral home, which puts us in a passive position. But this won't affect business. Flynn, you should go to work as usual. As for us, we'll take it one step at a time. My biggest concern now is your mother's health." Natalie heard Waylon and said quietly, "Baron said Mom's health can be treated, but it will take a long time and she'll need to control her diet strictly. Since there are no leads for now, let's just proceed calmly with our normal lives. The person deliberately targeting us won't be as composed as we are; they will eventually make a move." "Natalie is right. We cannot let these trivial matters interfere with our normal lives. The recognition banquet is less than half a month away, so I need to start preparing for it. Baron, I'm entrusting your mother's health to you." "No problem." Baron nodded. Natalie was about to tell Waylon about the disc, but Baron immediately said, "Dad, we got a disc from Aiden at the ancestral home. It contains some information. We've finished watching it. You can go to the screening room to watch it yourself. Natalie hasn't rested well these past few days, and the children haven't seen us in a while. We're going to spend time with the children. If you have any instructions after you finish watching, please call us." "Alright, you two go rest. Natalie hasn't rested since returning from international waters. Your father is incompetent." Natalie shook her head. "Dad, we're a family. There's no need to talk like that. My new designs are also about to launch. If nothing comes up tomorrow, I'll have to go to the studio." "Good. Have Baron assign people to follow you. Chris is still recovering and won't be back anytime soon. I don't know who the mole is among the Stone family's people, so I can't risk your safety. Just let Baron make the arrangements." "Dad, Natalie is my wife. Rest assured, I will definitely make proper arrangements." After Baron finished speaking, he took Natalie back to their room.Waylon, on the other hand, followed Flynn to the screening room. There were indeed some things he had questions about. Now that they had the disc left behind by Xenon, perhaps he could find answers to some of them.
