Chapter 382

Vesta thought she'd have to wait a few days for any news.

To her surprise, Thorne called that very afternoon. "Mr. Ferguson and Darleen are going to a charity auction tomorrow. Want to join us?"

Vesta chuckled, "Sure, sounds good."

The next evening, they arrived at the auction. It wasn't long before Thorne steered Vesta toward Hector and Darleen Ferguson, Stewart's parents. He introduced Vesta to them.

Hector and Darleen were well aware of the history between Thorne, Charlene, and Vesta. But they didn't let any of that show when they greeted Thorne. They shook his hand warmly, and when Thorne introduced Vesta, Darleen extended her hand with a polite smile, "Hello."

The auction was a gathering of the city's elite. After some small talk, Thorne and Hector got caught up in a conversation about business, leaving Vesta a chance to chat with Darleen one-on-one.

After some pleasantries, Vesta got to the point, "Darleen, I came here today because I have a favor to ask."

Darleen laughed lightly, "With someone as capable as Mr. Henderson, what could you possibly need from me? Surely, Ms. Hawkins, you're joking."

Vesta replied, "It actually concerns Stewart."

Darleen paused, "Stewart?"

"Yes," Vesta confirmed.
