Chapter 122
Elio dropped a line and then took off from the villa.
Hawthorne watched Elio’s retreating back. When he snapped back to reality, he realized that his fingernails had dug deep into his palm…
His white pants were stained with blood, which looked kinda creepy.
“What the heck, you’re bleeding!!!” Seeing his hand bleeding, the servant rushed over in a panic.
He waved his hand lightly, “Don’t fuss over me, I’m fine.”
He pressed the button on his wheelchair, went into the room and shut the door.
He went over to a pot of blue flowers, letting drops of blood from his palm fall onto the petals, a gentle smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Elio finally caught up with Astrid who had left earlier, “Astrid.”
“Hmm?” Astrid turned her head, gave Elio a glance, and then with a curl of her lip, asked: “How do you know Mr. Cliff?”
“We do business together,” After Elio finished speaking, he gave Astrid another look–over, “He didn’t want to reveal who your dad is, can you tell me?” Hearing this, Astrid raised an eyebrow.
Elio had chased her all the way here. It was only a matter of time before he found out, so Astrid told him the truth, “My dad is Magee Brooke.”
Elio fell silent. He had thought that Astrid might have a powerful background, but he didn’t expect her to be the daughter of the richest man in this country, Magee…
His pursuit of her had already become tough enough because of her brothers, and now there was a doting father to deal with. Suddenly, his future seemed rather bleak.
