Chapter 1783Time was short, so after the talk, Chester immediately went to make arrangements.Early the next morning, Mr. Ballard, Logan, and Lesley were about to set off."Dubhe, follow them and make sure to keep them safe," Chester ordered with rare seriousness."Yes." Dubhe respectfully lowered his head."Mr. Ballard, why are you guys leaving so soon?"The three little ones ran over with their short legs, tilting their little heads and staring at Mr. Ballard with watery eyes.Molly followed them.She looked at Logan and Lesley and then said, "Mr. Ballard, call us if you need anything."Mr. Ballard nodded his head. "OK, I'll keep Sean informed of any situation."He then bent down, gently stroked the kids' heads, and said, "We're going out to do something."Claudia pursed her lips. "But we don't want you to go.""Mr. Ballard, we'll miss you," Alex and Ben said in unison.Upon hearing their words, the adults looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.It seemed that
Chapter 1784Two hours later, as soon as Mr. Ballard and the others got off the plane, they rushed to the Gray family.On the way, they all kept silent. The atmosphere was depressive in the car.When they arrived at the villa of the Gray family and the car stopped, Mr. Ballard got out of the car and walked towards the villa robustly.However, before they got close to the villa, they were stopped by a man.“Who are you?”The man was a guard of the Gray family. His dark blue uniform was embroidered with the word “Gray” on his chest.Mr. Ballard explained calmly, “I’m Mr. Gray’s old friend and came here to visit him today.”“Old friend?” The guard examined Mr. Ballard up and down suspiciously.“Please tell Mr. Gray that my surname is Ballard.”Mr. Ballard acted calm and polite.Thus, the guard didn’t have any reason to refuse Mr. Ballard. The guard asked them to wait for a while and then walked into the villa.“Uncle Jordan, will Mr. Gray see us?” Logan looked at the guard’s b
Chapter 1785 When Sean picked up the phone, Molly was next to him. Seeing that the caller was Mr. Ballard, she couldn't help feeling nervous because she didn’t know if it was good news or bad news. The nervousness on her face was obvious, so Sean smiled at her, but when he heard what Mr. Ballard was saying, his face suddenly became cold. "Well, I see. Don't worry. Let's just see what will happen first." Sean comforted Mr. Ballard before hanging up the phone. "What's the matter?" Although Molly didn't hear what Mr. Ballard had said, she still heard something wrong from Sean's words. "Mr. Gray is not at home." Sean briefly described the situation. "Not at home?" Molly frowned, "Is this a coincidence or premeditation?" It would be normal for Mike Gray not to be at home if it was not at such a special time. But at this time, Molly and Sean couldn’t help doubting. "It is not clear exactly what is going on." Sean thought for a moment and then added, "Maybe... it's not
Chapter 1786The man's smile faded immediately, and his face fell.Mr. Ballard glanced at the villa behind him, stared at the man for a while, and then said to his nephew, "Let's go.""Okay." Logan nodded.Just like yesterday, they had to go back.On the way back to the hotel, Mr. Ballard had a serious look on his face.Logan asked with concern, "What's wrong, Uncle Jordan?"Mr. Ballard pondered for a few seconds, looked up at Dubhe, and said with certainty, "Something happened to the Gray family."As soon as everyone heard that, their hearts skipped a beat.It was as they expected.But the confirmation from Mr. Ballard still surprised them.Dubhe snapped back to reality and immediately said, "After we go back, I'll contact Mr. Merrick and ask for instructions on what to do next."Mr. Ballard nodded. "Good. Thank you."Back in the hotel, Dubhe immediately called Chester and reported the situation in detail, including the mistreatment they received today.Chester fell sile
Chapter 1787Lesley felt confused. “Lady, did you knock on the wrong door?”The girl shook her head. “I came here to see Mr. Ballard.”Lesley felt more confused. ‘Why does she know Uncle Jordan lives here?’The girl saw through Lesley’s thoughts and added, “I’m Candice Gray. Mr. Ballard saw me before.”Lesley widened her eyes. “Gray? Are you from the Gray family?”Candice nodded.Lesley looked back and shouted, “Uncle Jordan, a girl named Candice Gray wants to see you.”Then Lesley walked aside and gave the way to Candice.Before Mr. Ballard and the others in the room reacted, they saw a strange girl walking in.As soon as Candice saw Mr. Ballard who sat on the couch, she ran towards him and knelt.“Mr. Ballard, please save my grandpa.”They were all surprised.Mr. Ballard came to his senses first. He pulled Candice up, examined her up and down, and felt familiar with her.“You’re...”Before Mr. Ballard recognized her, Candice anxiously introduced herself, “Mr. Ballard,
Chapter 1788When Mr. Ballard heard that, the look on his face grew even graver.He hadn't expected the situation with the Gray family to be so dire. If what Candice said was true, then Mr. Gray was likely in great danger.Dubhe, who had remained silent, spoke up, "Miss Gray, have there been any strangers at your villa recently?""Strangers?" Candice pondered seriously for a moment. "Yes, there are, but we don't know who they are.""Have you asked?" Dubhe inquired further.Candice furrowed her brows. "Yes, but Grandpa Elton said they were his friends.""Friends?" A trace of mockery appeared on Dubhe's face as he arched an eyebrow. Apparently, Elton Gray had conspired with outsiders to take over the Gray family.Then he said to Candice, "When you go back, pretend that nothing has happened. We'll figure out a way to get in tonight."Candice's eyes lit up. "Rest assured, I won't let those people discover anything. And..."Candice turned to look at Mr. Ballard and continued, "You
Chapter 1789Molly pushed open the door of the study and happened to hear what Sean was saying. She instantly became nervous. After Sean hung up the phone, she asked anxiously, "What happened?" Sean didn't hide, "The force of the Martial Art Union should have invaded the Gray family." The Grandset was a step behind. Hearing this, Molly couldn't help worrying, "Isn't Mr. Ballard very dangerous?" Once he was found out by the Martial Art Union, the consequences would be unimaginable. "Don't worry, I've given orders. Nothing will happen to Mr. Ballard," Sean soothed her with a soft voice. Molly nodded gently to show that she had known and then silently prayed that Mr. Ballard and the others would all return safely in her heart. It was getting late. Dubhe left the hotel with Mr. Ballard and drove to the Gray villa. This time, they parked the car more than 100 meters away from the villa and walked over. Before they came here, Dubhe had already had a clear picture of th
Chapter 1790Candice's suspicion was reasonable.To make a healthy person become the way he was now, there was no other explanation except being poisoned.Mr. Ballard once again checked the unconscious Mr. Gray’s pulse.Suddenly, his face turned cold. "Something's not right!""What's wrong?" Dubhe asked wonderingly."His pulse is strange."Mr. Ballard gestured for them to be quiet and checked the pulse again, but this time it was normal."How is this possible?" He frowned. Just now, the pulse was clearly abnormal.'Did I make a mistake?' He wondered.Mr. Ballard was confused, and Candice couldn't help but speak up, "What kind of poison is it?"Mr. Ballard looked up at her and then laid his eyes on Mr. Gray's pale face. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "It's probably not as simple as being poisoned."Candice's face turned pale, and she anxiously asked, "Then what is it? Will my grandpa wake up?"Instead of answering her question, Mr. Ballard said to Dubhe, "Give me
