After the plane landed in Arcadia, Griffon quickly pulled out the IV needle on the back of his hand. He stood up and got off the plane.
Seeing that Griffon couldn't even stand properly as he staggered out, Zack hurried over to grab Griffon, supporting him as they left the airport.
Andre, who learned that Griffon was back in the US, had already arranged a ride for him.
Upon seeing him coming out of the airport, he hurriedly greeted him. "Alpha Knight."
Griffon nodded coldly and looked at Zack. "You can go back."
Zack respectfully replied “yes” before turning around and leaving quickly.
He was Greyson's companion and could only show up when he was on a mission.
After Zack left, Andre looked at Griffon, who was pale and thin.
He remembered that four months ago, Griffon was in a decent mental state. Right then, however, he looked haggard.
Taya was the only one who could do that to the icy, noble Griffon.
The two of them must have met in Washington and had some kind of conflict, which made Griffon fell so ill.
Andre could tell what was going on, so he didn't ask any more questions and just helped Griffon get into the car quickly.
"Alpha Knight, I'll take you home and ask Stella to come over to give you a check-up,” he stated.
The man sitting in the Koenigsegg raised his bloodshot eyes and glanced at Andre.
"Take me to Harper's place,” he instructed.
Andre wanted to persuade him to let his body recover first, but when he saw Griffon’ anxious eyes, those words wouldn’t come out of his lips all of a sudden.
He had no choice but to start the car and drive toward Harper's villa. A dozen luxury cars followed behind.
Harper was doing some gardening on the terrace when she saw a row of luxury cars approaching from a distance before stopping at the entrance of the villa.
Andre turned pale too. He wanted to send Griffon to the hospital, but Griffon pushed him away.
Griffon took a handkerchief from his bodyguard, patted at the corners of his mouth, then questioned Harper, "The exact address?"
Harper was still staring at the blood on the ground in a daze, but she came to her senses when she heard his hoarse voice. "I don't know."
Griffon thought Harper didn't want to tell him so he looked towards the second floor of the villa. "Does she not want to see me?"
Harper followed his line of sight. Looking back, she shook her head and said, "She's really not here."
Griffon didn't believe her, so he gave Andre a look, who immediately apologized to Harper. "Ms. Duke, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he quickly walked into the villa and rushed to the second floor to check every room. Even so, he didn't see Taya.
Only then did he give up searching. He quickly went downstairs, went up to Griffon and shook his head at him. "She really isn’t here..."
