Chapter 107: Forget Marcus Blackwood

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Professor Theodore Ashworth was playing chess with a friend in the pavilion. His half–white hair was neatly combed, giving him a distinguished appearance that spoke of years of academic wisdom.

Benjamin Hayes stepped into the pavilion, his footsteps soft against the wooden floor.
