At the same time.
After the Ellington family folks stepped out of the hotel, they all picked up the pace and followed Richard.
Percival, Leopold, and Thomas were trailing at the back.
Only when he saw the few cars in front pull away did Percival stop and said to Thomas, "You need to keep an eye on Dorian."
Thomas was taken aback, not quite getting it.
Leopold didn't understand either, but he just asked straight up, "You just got engaged to Ms. Hawthorn and you're already watching her father? What's up with that?"
Percival glanced at him and said flatly, "He might have the potion."
Leopold and Thomas were both taken aback, staring at him.
After a moment, Leopold finally caught up, "The potion? Dorian? Are you kidding me?"
Even though Dorian was part of the Hawthorn family, he was really just ordinary. How could he possibly have such an important potion?
Percival pursed his lips, his serious face unreadable, "I found that the potion is related to Vivienne's mother. Dorian mentioned giving something to Beatrice, it might be that potion."
"Then what are we waiting for? We should go find him right away! How can such a thing be given to Beatrice? Is he crazy?" Leopold was somewhat anxious.
That potion was incredibly important and incredibly dangerous.
There had been orders to find that potion at all costs.
GTO had already sent out hitmen, they've infiltrated Havenwood. Whoever had that potion would die.
Plus, there were other powers also looking for that potion, it was a hot potato for anyone.
Dorian got his hands on the potion, but instead of hiding it, he openly announced he was giving it to Beatrice. Was he tired of living?
"We can't go!" Percival said seriously, "We're not sure if what he's giving Beatrice is that potion, we're not sure if he's truly good. We can't just make a move."
Percival looked at Thomas, saying, "You keep an eye on Dorian first, if what he's giving Beatrice is that potion, grab it right away!"
Even though taking things by force was not his style, this was incredibly important. They couldn't make a rash decision. They could only grab it.
"Alright." Thomas nodded seriously.
Percival hesitated a moment, then added, "Don't do it yourself, let someone else do it."
"I understand."
At Tranquil Estates.
After Dorian returned home, he said to Vivienne, "Vivienne, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Vivienne sat on the sofa and asked him, "What is it?"
She was originally planning to ask Dorian what he was giving Beatrice when she got home. Since Dorian had something to say, she'd just listen.
After spending these past few days with Dorian, she found him to be an honest man.
But she couldn't be sure about the potion.
