Chapter 732 Stirring Up Trouble
There was a faint breeze on the other end of the line, carrying Quinn’s laughter with a mysterious undertone.
Darion’s fingers curled, his knuckles tapping rhythmically on the table. His expression was unreadable, but his voice was cold as he said, “You sure seem concerned about me. Are you done with your own business?”
“My business is nothing compared to your eyes. I’m just curious. What’s it like living in the dark? Are you just useless now, can’t do anything?” Quinn’s words were arrogant and downright nasty.
Darion let out a low chuckle. “Looks like you’ve been living too comfortably. If you’re not here to have a real conversation, let’s call it a day.”
He signaled for Ryan to hang up the phone.
Then, in a low voice, he said, “Spread the word. Make sure Quinn Clark gets into some real trouble. I want him out of commission for at least ten days, maybe even half a
month.”
Ryan Johnson’s expression turned solemn. “Got it, I’ll pass the message to lan right away.”

Ryan stayed in the study for most of the day.
Helen was worried, but she didn’t want to disturb him. Spotting Thalia sitting nearby, she said, “Why don’t you bring Darion something? Make sure he doesn’t wear himself out.”
Thalia looked up at her, blinked calmly, and shook her head.
‘I’m not going,” Thalia replied.
‘If he’s hungry, he’ll come out. If he’s tired, he’ll rest,” she said.
‘You…”
Helen was caught off guard by Thalia’s blunt refusal. Her brows furrowed in surprise. Just then, Diana came out and asked, “What are you two up to?”
Helen turned to her, her expression softening into a smile. “I was just thinking of having Thalia check if Darion’s finished with his work. They’re a young couple, and it’s better for them to talk things out themselves. As his mom, I should just stay out of it.” Diana chuckled. “Exactly! At my age, I never meddle in the young folks’ business. As long as they’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
Helen’s smile froze for a moment. She felt like Diana was calling her out.

She just nodded awkwardly and walked away.
Richard wanted to take Keith back to the old house. When Helen told him about it, Keith blinked his big eyes and asked, “Who’s Grandpa?”
Helen paused, not sure what to say.
Keith had never met Richard since he was born. He knew he had a grandpa, but he’d never seen him. So to Keith, Richard was basically a stranger.
With things like this, how could Keith be okay with going to the old house with Richard?
But there was no way they could avoid each other forever.
Richard had been living abroad all these years, and now it was time for him to step up and be a grandpa.
Helen paused for a moment, then said softly, “He’s someone who’ll be really, really good to you. Grandma will go with you, and we’ll stay at the old house for a few days. You can meet your grandpa and maybe become friends with him, okay?”
