Unspoken Worries
Unspoken Worries
"Sorry for making you both worry."
"We're not worried, it's mainly housekeeper who's aged a whole year from worrying."
Peter was trying to comfort Taya, but Andre interjected unexpectedly.
"He was already very old."
Andre was intentionally being disruptive, which made Peter clench his fists and glare at him.
However, in front of Taya, they couldn't start a fight, at most they would just ignore each other.
Taya didn't know what they were bickering about, and just apologized to them again. Both of them quickly waved their hands, saying they understood her.
After exchanging pleasantries, Preston then asked about the main issue.
"Taya, how is Griffon doing now? Is he injured?"Taya knew they were all very concerned about Griffon, so she didn't show the sad side of her in front of Harper, and Just earnestly answered Preston's question.
"He's not injured and has become the mastermind behind Erebus."
Upon hearing this, the tension that had been building up for days was finally released. "Griffon is really amazing."
Preston was full of pride. It seemed that Griffon's success was the most worthy of boasting about.
Taya also acknowledged this, but quietly lowered her eyelids.
Andre saw this and thought that Taya was hiding something, so he became nervous. "Madam, are you not lying to us?"
Taya snapped out of her despondency. "He's really fine."He wasn't injured and looked healthy all over, so he was fine.
"Brook said that Tara is also in Erebus, but she hasn't exposed Mr. Knight's identity. Is she up to something bad?"
Thinking of the way Tara looked at Griffon, Taya subconsciously shook her head. "She still loves Griffon, that's why she hasn't exposed his identity."
"So, Mr. Knight is currently safe?
"He should be safe."
Griffon becoming the mastermind behind Erebus was not only due to Tara's efforts, but also the approval of the person behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes must have seen Griffon's abilities, which was why he became the mastermind behind Erebus. Taya felt that as long as someone valued his abilities, as long as he didn't reveal his identity, he would be safe.
"When will he come back?"
This was Peter's most pressing question.Since Holden brought back Zack's broken bones and the news of Mr. Shawn's death, S had been in chaos.
Master Davies managed for a few days, then handed over the mess to Holden and Emelyn, while he went to investigate the person behind Erebus. Peter always felt that Master Davies knew something but didn't tell them.
"I don't know." Taya really didn't know when he would come back.
"Given Mr. Knight's progress, he'll probably come back after he sees what the founder behind Erebus looks like, right?" Andre asked uncertainly.
"Maybe." Taya's response was also uncertain.
She only knew that Griffon had become the mastermind behind Erebus, which meant that the people from Erebus wouldn't do anything to him.
The only danger was if Tara knew his identity. Thinking of this, Taya advised them. "If possible, you shouldn't give up on finding Erebus. I'm afraid that Tara might go crazy one day and expose his identity, which would put him in danger."
Despite her anger and disappointment, Taya still cared about Griffon's safety.
Later, she thought that as long as Griffon was alive, they could part ways, and it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Do you have any other clues, Madam?"
"Erebus gave me an address to get my reward. Does that count as a clue?"
Andre nodded excitedly. "Yes, of course it does!"
Taya looked at Johnny, who had been silent the whole time. "Can
I give it to them?" Only then did Johnny realize that Taya thought he was concerned about her reward and was asking for his opinion. "Give it to them."
Johnny inwardly complained: "I have plenty of money, do I really need these billions of dollars?"
Taya took the phone Andre handed her and wrote the address in the notes.
After Andre and Peter got the address, they informed Holden and Emelyn and then immediately set off.
After they left, Dylan, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, couldn't wait any longer and knocked on the door. "Taya, can we talk for a moment?"Upon seeing Dylan, Taya was momentarily taken aback.
It seemed she didn't understand how he knew her and why he had come to find her.
Had he somehow discovered her impersonation of Rosalie during their project discussion at his home?
"I just told you that she's not feeling well and doesn't have the energy to take on any projects. Why are you here?" Johnny, displeased, glanced at Dylan.
Unperturbed by Johnny's arrogance, Dylan simply smiled at Taya. "Taya, are you available?"
Taya collected her thoughts and nodded at him. "I'm available."
Dylan's gaze then shifted to the others. "I'd like to have a private chat with you."
Just as Johnny was about to refuse him, Taya spoke up. "Preston, could you take Harper to the lounge to rest for a bit?"
Preston found Dylan quite peculiar. Taya had never met Dylan before, so why was he seeking her out alone?
Despite his confusion, Preston was obedient and helped Harper up, supporting her arm and waist.As they turned to leave, he glanced at Johnny. "Aren't you leaving?"
This jerk was also quite strange. During Taya's unconscious period, he had been by her bedside every day, never leaving her side.
If one didn't know better, they would think he was Taya's mated-wolf.
Preston gave Johnny a suspicious look, making him feeling uncomfortable, he quickly got up and left.
Once they were gone, Dylan gracefully approached Taya and sat where Harper had been sitting.
"Taya, I apologize for intruding while you're unwell."
Dylan was quite refined, and his handsome face always bore a faint smile, giving the impression of a well-bred gentleman.
"It's okay." Taya's impression of him was still favorable, so she remained gentle. "They've gone out, so what is it that you want to discuss?"Dylan didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point. "Taya, when you pretended to be the designer Rosalie and came to discuss the project at my home, my grandfather noticed. He had someone look into it and found out it was you pretending to be Rosalie."
Although she had already guessed his intentions, Taya's heart still skipped a beat upon hearing his words.
"So, is your grandfather sending you to ask me for compensation for breaching the contract?"
Taya didn't ask how Dylan's grandfather had noticed or how they had found out. After all, the Lawrence pack's background and power were on par with the Knight pack's. "No, I've come to discuss something else with you."
The project contract stipulated that if the designer was not Rosalie himself, substantial compensation was required.
She thought Dylan had come to discuss the breach of contract, but it turned out not to be the case, leaving her puzzled.
"If it's not about the project, then what is it about?"
There was no connection between her and Dylan, so she wondered why he had come to find her.
Leaning back in his chair, Dylan casually hooked the corner of his mouth into a faint smile. "My grandfather had a first love named Sophia. I don't know if he ever mentioned her to you?"
"He did. What's wrong with that?"Faced with Taya's confusion, Dylan smiled again. "It's quite a coincidence. You look a lot like Sophia."
Taya's face froze. "I look like your grandmother?"
Dylan nodded gently. "Yes, not just you, but your mother, Sumasa, also looks a lot like my grandmother."
When Matty mentioned Sumasa, Taya knew that they had looked into her, but she hadn't expected that Matty had done so because
Sumasa looked like his grandfather's first love.
"Taya, my grandfather suspects that you might be related to the Lawrence pack, so he sent me to ask for a hair sample for a paternity test. Are you okay with that?"
Upon hearing Dylan's words, Taya began to suspect her own origins.
"Don't worry. It's just a test. After the results are out, regardless of whether you're related to the Lawrence pack or not, we'll respect your decision."
Taya was taken aback by the news and felt a bit hesitant, but Dylan didn't rush her and patiently explained the situation.After some thought, she raised her hand and plucked a long strand of hair, handing it to Dylan.
Whether or not she was related, the test would help her mother find her family.
"Thank you." Dylan took the hair and then looked at Taya.
He felt that Taya was a very kind and elegant person, which was why she was gentle with everyone.
This reminded him of his brother, who was also kind-hearted and had an innate closeness.
Dylan liked Taya more and more, not in a romantic way, but in the way an older brother would feel about his younger sister.
He thought that if Taya truly was his sister, he would be very happy.
After receiving the hair, Dylan bid farewell. "Taya, I'll conduct the test and come back to you with the results."
"Okay."
Dylan inexplicably revealed a fond smile. "Take care of yourself. If the doctor isn't good, let me know, and I'll arrange for the best doctors."
Taya gently smiled back.
