The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

"When did this happen?" Nick asked, caught off guard by the lack of news.

"Just a couple of days ago," Grady replied, his voice heavy with exhaustion. The whirlwind of events over the past few days had left him with no time to catch a break, the weariness clearly etched on his face.

A dangerous glint appeared in Nick's eyes. "Who attacked Chester?"

"An assassin group," Grady said.

Nick frowned. "That group has always kept a respectful distance from the Davis family. How dare they cross the line?"

"They were hired by someone. My men managed to catch one of them, but before we could get anything out of him, he took poison and died," Grady explained, rubbing his temples as if to ease the tension. "This isn't a simple case. I'm still digging into it."

Messing with the Davis family was no small affair.

Nick narrowed his eyes, making a swift decision. "I'll head back to Merrywoods tonight."

With Chester in trouble, the elders would probably jump at the chance to create chaos within the Davis family.

"What about your medical school commitments?"
