Chapter 1047:

“Mr. Scott isn’t here. He left for an international trip a few days ago and hasn’t returned,” the butler informed him.

Eric narrowed his eyes in disbelief. “Isn’t that convenient? You expect me to believe that? Is he hiding from me?” The butler maintained his composure, stepping aside to allow Eric entry. “You may verify for yourself inside. Mr. Scott has declared you the rightful heir of the Scott estate. You have unrestricted access, and no one here can bar your entry.” He stepped aside and opened the door with a polite gesture. After a moment’s hesitation, Eric stepped through the doorway. The silence of the empty house echoed around him. Ferris was indeed absent.

A bitter laugh slipped from Eric’s mouth, and a sinister smile crept across his face as his eyes darkened with malice. There was no outlet. Eric’s fury kept building, swirling with the hatred festering inside him. Was Ferris deliberately avoiding him?

That absence only made one thing clear—Ferris was the one pulling the strings.

“You can deliver a message to him,” Eric said, his voice like steel. A strange gleam flickered in his eyes, dark and laced with fire. “Tell him he can stop wasting his time. I’m never going back to the Scott family—no matter what game he plays.”

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Linda and Hadley arrived sequentially, drawn by the news of Nyla’s condition.

First to arrive was Linda, her mobility compromised, necessitating a wheelchair pushed by her caregiver. “What exactly happened? Is she alright?”
