Jepherson immediately got into the car after coming out of the Whalen family villa. Stuart had learnt his lesson from the previous car ride. He immediately kept his mouth shut as soon as he got into the car.
The driver drove the car and asked, “Mr. Jepherson, where are we going next?”
“Let’s head over to the Moore Family.”
“The Moore family?”
Stuart was surprised. Jepherson raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Stuart immediately cowered in fear. He did not dare to say anything more.
It did not take long before they arrived at the Moore family villa.
Jepherson got out of the car and waited at the door. Stuart immediately walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
There were a few people standing at the entrance, but they did not say anything.
To put it bluntly, the Moore family villa was not a place for anyone to visit as they wished. The only people who were allowed into the villa were of high status. As for the others, they could ignore them.
Stuart rang the doorbell, and the butler of the Moore Family quickly came to the door. When the butler saw Jepherson standing outside, he was stunned for a moment before greeting him.
“Mr. Jepherson.”
“I’m here to see Johan Moore. Can you please inform him?” Jepherson smiled. When the butler saw his unfathomable smile, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
“Mr. Jepherson, please wait a moment. I’ll go and inform Old Master Johan.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Jepherson was very polite. He was so polite that the butler found it a little strange.
He turned and went to look for Johan. Not long after, the butler came back out and invited Jepherson in.
Jepherson entered through the door and went to meet Johan.
Johan was lying inside his room. When he saw Jepherson, he immediately tried to get up. However, Jepherson quickly rushed over to him and said, “Old Master Johan, please watch yourself. You don’t have to get up.”
In fact, Johan was just putting on a show. Of course, he did not really want to get out of bed.
“Have a seat,” Johan said politely. The butler immediately brought a chair for Jepherson.
The last time Jepherson came, he did not sit down. However, that time, Johan watched as he waited for him to sit down.
Jepherson sat down and asked, “How have you been lately?”
“I’m good. I’m lucky if I don’t fall sick. That’s the only thing I hope for.”
“Is that so?” Jepherson frowned. It seemed that he had something important to say.
Johan looked at him for a while and asked, “Jepherson, is there anything you want to tell me?”
“Yes, it’s just that I don’t know whether I should say it,” Jepherson said with a smile. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Johan looked at him and thought for a while, “I wonder what is it about. Are you sure I’ll be able to help?”
“This matter…”
“Go ahead.”
“I’ll cut to the chase. A few days ago, I met a person from the Cook family and took a liking to her.”
“Cook family?” Johan frowned. He roughly knew where this conversation was heading.
“You’re talking about…”
“The apple of your eye, Cynthia.”
Cynthia was Flynt’s second oldest sister and she had a great relationship with him. This was also known by the public. Cynthia was two years older than Flynt. That year, she would be turning 21.
If there was someone in the Moore family who should get married, it was Flynt’s older sisters.
However, Flynt had a strong opinion since he was a child. In the past, Johan had said that he wanted to find husbands for Flynt’s two older sisters. However, Flynt disagreed with this matter.
No one knew what Flynt had said to Johan, but this matter was eventually put to rest.
Now that Jepherson had come to the villa on his own accord and brought up this matter, it caught Johan off guard.
What was going on?
“Old Master Johan, I wonder if you’d be interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Richards family?” Jepherson asked politely.
Johan raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to leave the room.
Right then, he did not know what Jepherson’s motive was.
“Cynthia is very lucky that you’ve taken a liking to her. It’s just that I’m getting old and I can’t decide on this matter. I think it’s best if you’d ask Cynthia.” Johan came up with an excuse.
Jepherson rose to his feet. “If you don’t agree, then there’s no need for me to stay any longer. I’ll be heading back first.”
Johan was stunned. He came and left quickly. What did he mean by doing this?
After saying that, Jepherson turned around and left. The butler glanced at Johan before chasing after Jepherson.
Jepherson walked out of the door and immediately got into the car. He pretended as if nothing had happened and instructed the driver to head back to Richards Manor.
The Moore family’s butler stood at the door and watched Jepherson leave. After watching him leave, he immediately went back into the villa.
Johan was already sitting up when he entered. He was waiting for the butler to return.
“What’s going on?” Johan immediately asked when he saw the butler. The butler shook his head and said, “Something seems a little off, don’t you think? Did Mr. Flynt offend Mr. Jepherson? I have a feeling he came here to warn us.”
After hearing the butler’s words, Johan thought for a moment and waved his hand as he said, “Get Elina to come over. I have something to ask her.”
The butler immediately left in search of Elina. After a short while, Elina entered the room and walked over to Johan. She stopped and asked, “You were asking for me?”
“Tell me, has Cynthia been out recently?” Johan asked. He sounded very serious, so Elina did not dare to lie.
“No, she’s been by my side all this while. Why are you suddenly asking about her?” Elina thought that she had taught her daughter well. She was not the kind of person who let her daughter wander around.
Johan said, “I don’t know why, but Jepherson dropped by earlier. He asked if we were interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Richards family. In fact, he specifically mentioned Cynthia.”
“Can you recall whether we’ve offended him in any way?”
“Old Master Johan, it’s impossible. Cynthia has always been by my side, she’s never left the house.”
“Then, what’s going on? Why did he come here? He looked like he came here to denounce us.”
Elina stopped talking. She genuinely had no idea what was going on.
Suddenly, Elina said, “Did Flynt offend him? Did he come here to warn us?”
Johan thought for a while before he said to the butler, “Can you please call Mr. Flynt and ask him to come back. Tell him that I have something to ask him.”
Under Johan’s orders, the butler hurried over to carry out this order.
Soon after, Flynt came out of the hospital and hurried back to the Moore family villa.
At that time, Jepherson also arrived at home. He got out of the car and went straight to the Ink Garden.
“Old Madam Marissa, Mr. Jepherson is back.” Marissa was waiting for Jepherson to return her call. She remembered that Stuart said that they were on their way to visit Deanna when she called him.
The servant rushed into the room and told Marissa. Marissa looked at the door and found it strange that he was back so soon.
“Mr. Jepherson.”
The servants greeted Jepherson when they saw him.
Jepherson did not say anything. He looked a little moody.
Marissa said impatiently, “Why are you putting on a long face?”
“Sorry, my bad.” Jepherson entered the door and sat down. He still pulled a long face. Marissa wanted to ask him but she could not bring herself to do so. However, she would feel uneasy if she didn’t.
She stared at Jepherson’s cold face, not knowing what to do.
