Chapter 1105 A Guest
“Understood!” replied Derek. “Shall I make a courtesy call to Mr. Nightshire and have some gifts sent along so that he may be able to ease his own dignity?”
“Of course! The gift is a must!” Trevor smacked hard on the table in approval. “It’s imperative for him to be able to save face because he’s that kind of character. Allowing him to bow out in grace is akin to facilitating a step up for us, so good suggestion on your part. However, I can’t be the one doing the gifting myself, or that’ll be quite embarrassing for me!”
“Yes! Yes! Certainly!” Derek nodded heartily. “I’ll go take care of it, but what should we offer him?”
That did stump Trevor and got him thinking.
He did not have any more money to spare, but it was not as though Vinson would be receptive to accepting any from him either.
After some deliberation, Trevor said, “Prep the car. I’m going to make a trip home.”
“Understood.”
Half an hour later, the car rolled to a halt outside the Larson residence.
Ever since Trevor and Cecilia’s parents perished in a plane crash en route to a leisurely trip during the siblings’ formative years, the house was left with just the two of them.
While Trevor stood at the entryway, he sighed at the thought of how challenging it had been for Cecilia before he strode through those doors.
This was the first time he had reentered the house after that last huge bust-up they had, and the housekeeper came up quickly to greet him.
“Mr. Larson.”
Trevor acknowledged her with a slight nod. He surveyed the entirety of the living room but did not see Cecilia there.
“Where is she?” Trevor asked.
“Mrs. Greene’s resting upstairs.”
“Resting? At this time of the day?”
