Expert Down The Mountain by Summer
Chapter 14
Zedekiah was ecstatic after he learned about it, because he intended to use the chance to repair his and Cyrus’ relationship.
“Dad, Dr. Cohen said that Cyrus will come with him. We don’t need to give Cyrus the invitation then, right?” Redmond said.
“Yes. Remember to drive over and pick them up,” Zedekiah said. “By the way, don’t forget to send an invitation to the Gardner family as well.”
Redmond nodded. “I’m getting it ready.”
Zedekiah said coolly, “Marino Hunt is a powerful person in Fliton City. Why did he suddenly die? Something strange must have happened. His godson doesn’t seem like someone who can do such a big thing either.”
“Are you saying that this has something to do with Cyrus?”
Redmond thought that his father was a little off in his head. Marino Hunt had plenty of powerful fighters. How could Cyrus possibly kill him? What a joke.
“There’s no way. When Marino Hunt died, Cyrus was on his way to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy. He couldn’t have possibly killed Marino Hunt during that short period of time.”
Zedekiah just shook his head. “Send an invitation to Eos Giulio as well. We’ll know once we see how he behaves around Cyrus.”
“That’s not right, Dad. Eos Giulio is just a low-class person—”
He immediately shut up when he saw his father’s expression.
……
The next day, when they went back home from work, Cyrus noticed the Gardner father-and-daughter pair beaming happily.
He asked, “Mr. Gardner, Ms. Korah, I have some business to attend to tomorrow night, and I have to go out. Can I leave work earlier?”
“Sure!” Korah was in a good mood as she played with her phone and answered Cyrus.
Lufian was also in a good mood after he returned to the mansion, but when he saw Cyrus, he seemed to have remembered something, and he frowned.
“Are there really four invitations, Grandpa?” Korah asked happily.
“Yes.” Lufian nodded.
“That’s great!” Korah cheered.
