Lily immediately asked eagerly, "Regarding what?"
"Our old master has been hospitalized after he was angered by Master Alex." The housekeeper sighed sorrowfully.
He truly did not understand it, what spell had Master Alex been under? Just like that, he had let go of all the power and achievements that he had fought for with his own blood, sweat, and tears. He wanted to give everything away to someone else without any conditions. Never mind if he wanted to give it to someone else. He could have given it to his elder brother. If not, he could have given it to Master Ryan a s well, right?
However, Master Alex just did not do so. Alex had power over such a large piece of territory like Kidon City, and he actually just respectfully gave it to South City's Master Sebastian Ford.
Logically speaking, it was not a big deal either. After all, Master Sebastian and Master Alex had the closest relationship. The maids in the house, as well as those men who had been following Master Alex for years, felt that there was nothing wrong for their master to give all this power in his hands to Master Sebastian from South City.
However, Old Master Poole was aggravated. After all, his eldest son had been mediocre all his life, but his
grandson, Ryan, was already grown up. Why not give this power to one of their own? Old Master Poole felt heartbroken for his eldest son and his eldest grandson. Therefore, he was so angered that he ended up being hospitalized. Even though Old Master Pool had been hospitalized, he still could not keep his youngest son around. Alex still resolutely went to South City. At that moment, Alex had already spent more than ten days in South City, and he had not returned to visit his old man.
The housekeeper sighed. "Miss Lily, our old master usually likes you quite a lot, so you just..."
Before he had finished his words, he saw Lily turn around and leave. The main purpose for Lily looking for Old Master Poole was to find Alex. Since Alex was i n South City at that moment, it would only be natural for her to go to South City as well. Also, Lily had a sense of foreboding. She felt that something was not right for Alex to step down from all the power he had o n hand.
'Alex was only in his thirties at the moment, which was at the prime of his life, so why would he want to step down? Could it be...because of Jane?'
Thinking of that, the good feeling Lily had when she returned from the northeastern area was completely gone at that moment. She got on a plane on the same day and flew directly to South City. When Lilyarrived a t Alex’s summer house halfway up the mountain in South City, she found out that the door was tightly locked instead. Alex was not there at all.
