Stanley harbored no favorable sentiments towards Bennett and his team, remarking. “Who are these individuals? They’re inept at solving cases but adept at suspecting their own.

As he grumbled, he pulled Quinlyn back inside, noticed her delicate wrists, and promptly instearted the kitchen to more food, specifically requesting additional dishes.

Upon Maurice, Harriet, and Tina’s return from the hospital, they were greeted by a feast laid out on the dining table. Stanley, the typically arrogant and distant heiress, was now behaving like an attentive parent, doting on Quinlyn with the care of a guardian.

Stanley constantly asked. “Would you like to try this? Is it too spicy! The sweet and sour ribs are truly delightful. You should consume more meat, it will help you gain some weight. Being too slender isn’t very appealing. Here, have some more soup I’ll get your some more.”

He was usually blunt, but his words were unusually harsh this time.

Tina couldn’t bear to witness anymore and attempted to intervene, saying, “That’s enough, Stanley. Harriet was just scared. Now that everyone’s safe, there’s no need to revisit it.”

“It’s because I saw you all from upstairs.
