On the other end, Mavis was sleeping soundly, her fingertips sliding over the phone a few times before she answered.
"Hello, Anthony. The two guys have confessed. It was Bryleigh who ordered them to do it. I've already sent my people to arrest her," Chad's voice came through on the phone.
Mavis blinked slowly and opened her eyes, realizing she had picked up Anthony's phone by mistake.
"It's your phone," she said.
Hearing a lazy female voice on the other end of the line, Chad changed his serious tone and became a gossip lover. "Oh, what's going on? You're making good progress. Did you sleep together last night?"
"Well, are you jealous?" Anthony smirked.
"I'm very affectionate with my wife. It should be you who envies me."
Anthony chuckled and continued talking about business, "Let your people handle Bryleigh's case according to law. I have no old feelings for her so don't bother asking me about it anymore. As for Padilla Group from now on there will be no Padilla family in Crana aristocracy."
He didn't want to look at that malicious woman again.
After finishing their conversation, he hung up quickly and stretched out his long arms to hold onto their son and Mavis - or more accurately - he held onto his whole world.
Until Alistair woke up, they could get up slowly together as a family and eat breakfast.
Mavis was extremely disappointed in Moore; she didn't want Alistair seeing him again so she let him play alone in their apartment. Kane stayed behind with some men to protect him while they went to the hospital.
From the moment they got out of the car, Anthony held her hand tightly, giving her a strong sense of security.
At the entrance of the hospital room, Raymond saw the two of them walking hand in hand and his eyes nearly popped out.
What happened? He had only been away for two days!
It seemed his words that day didn't register with his sister at all!
"What are you doing? Let go!" Raymond rushed over, forcefully separating the two of them and standing between them.
Since Mavis wasn't listening, he had to resort to a more forceful approach.
"Raymond, don't be stubborn. Where is that person?" Mavis didn't even want to mention Moore's name.
"He's inside the hospital room. I heard that Alistair went missing, and he blames himself for not being able to help. He's been so worried that he hasn't eaten anything since coming out of surgery until now," Raymond sighed.
If it were in the past, Mavis would have surely been moved.
But now, she wasn't.
In fact, she felt a chill in her heart. If it weren't for last night's events, she could hardly believe Moore had such acting skills.
"Raymond, not everything is black and white, and not everyone is as simple as you imagine."
Raymond was stunned. Shouldn't he be the one telling Mavis that? Why was it the other way around?
"Sis, do you even know what you're talking about?"
Mavis didn't explain further. "Come with me and find out." She turned around and walked into the hospital room.
When Moore saw her, his eyes lit up. If he could move, he would have rushed to her side. But when he saw Anthony behind her, his eyes dimmed a little.
"Mavis! I thought you wouldn't come to see me," Moore said.
