Chapter 170

Crack!

The wineglass in the man's palm shattered.

Dark red wine dripped onto the floor with his blood. It caused beautiful but poignant flower patterns to bloom on the expensive carpet.

A roiling hatred was spreading in the bedroom.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

There was a call on his phone.

The man calmed his hatred and anger down before answering the call. “What is it?”

“It'll be your father's death anniversary in a few days, sir. Are you going to return to Hallsbay? Do you need me to clear out your schedule for the next few days?”

Lionel's grip tightened around the phone as he replied in a deep voice, “Postpone them and prepare me a flight. I'll return to Hallsbay in three days. Don't tell anyone about it. I don't want my whereabouts to be exposed, got it?”

“Yes.”

Once the call ended, he shut his eyes. Hallsbay... The city that pushed me into an endless pit of despair, as well as the place where I buried my family and love in a single night. If it's possible, I never want to set foot back there again. However, I was born there. It is also where my ancestors and my parents are buried. The only source of my love and hate is also there.
