Chapter 108

At Blackwood Manor.

The television in the ground floor drawing room was broadcasting the evening news.

“This afternoon, a serious road collision occurred on the A21 in Kent. We now go live to our correspondent at the

scene.”

“Good afternoon, viewers. It’s currently 4:15 PM, and I’m reporting from a stretch of the A21 approximately forty miles southeast of London. At 3:40 PM, motorists reported a serious collision on this section of road. As you can see behind me, a vehicle has smashed into the guardrail, sustaining catastrophic damage. The driver was found unconscious with severe injuries and has been rushed to King’s College Hospital in critical condition.”

“Additionally, as the camera pans left, you can see that the barrier further down the road has also been compromised. Evidence suggests another vehicle broke through and plunged down the embankment. Emergency services are currently conducting a technical rescue operation…”

Lord Blackwood Sr. watched the television screen with furrowed brows, his piercing gaze unwavering.

“Grandfather, you’re back?” Asher entered, casually tossing his car keys onto the mahogany side table.

Lord Blackwood turned, his penetrating gaze sweeping over his grandson. “This wasn’t merely a traffic incident, was it? Malfoy’s handiwork?”

Asher sank into the leather sofa, looking uncharacteristically weary as he massaged his temples. “Yes.”

Lord Blackwood Sr. continued: “I’ve heard Randolph Winters took a fall down a staircase?”

Asher responded with a deep, solemn “Indeed.”

Lord Blackwood’s brows remained tightly knitted as he stared at the news broadcast, his expression inscrutable. The atmosphere grew heavy with unspoken tension.

The housekeeper arrived with a silver tray of Earl Grey. Asher lifted a cup and took a measured sip.

“Asher, you must end your relationship with the Winters girl.”

Asher set down his teacup with deliberate precision, his dark eyes clouding over with shadow.

He remained silent, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

Lord Blackwood sighed deeply before speaking with grave authority: “Your conflict with Malfoy should never li drawn in the Winters family. If he can’t strike at you directly, he’ll target her instead.”
