“Horace, what’s going on? Why the urgency to bring Sierra back?”

Seeing Rita putting on an act, Fulton sneered and briefly recounted the situation.

Rita remarked, “So, it’s all speculation. No concrete evidence proving Brady’s actions are tied to Sierra,

and Brady hasn’t confessed, right?”

Fulton, harboring no fondness for Rita, opted for silence. Standing up, he addressed Horace, “I believe

you’re well-informed. I won’t say more. If you think the Garrett family still holds some influence, please

manage to help Brady. We will definitely return the favor someday. If you believe my family is declining,

and you’d rather not be associated with us, I’ll take my leaving now.”

“Oh, what are you talking about?” Horace, brushing off Fulton’s dramatics, stood up and reassured,

“Don’t worry. I’ll manage to help Brady. You can head back. I’ll update you as soon as I have any

news.”

Fulton smiled appreciatively.

“You’re a reasonable man. The Fowler family thrives under your leadership.”

His words carried a subtle implication.

After Fulton departed, Rita approached Horace with concerns.

“Are you really going to bring Sierra back? I don’t think she’s involved. It might be Brady who’s behind

all this.”

“Why did Sierra run away if it had nothing to do with her?” Horace snorted, casting a glance at Rita.

“The weather’s taken a turn lately.

Take good care of Nicol. The rest? You needn’t lose sleep over it.”

“But Sierra’s my cousin,” Rita said, eyes welling up.

“Back in my hometown, my brother was my savior. He handed me the good stuff and shielded me from

my ex-husband’s abuse. If it weren’t for him, escaping that disastrous marriage would’ve been

impossible. If something happens to Sierra, I’ll bear the guilt.”

“I get it. You value family ties. You’re afraid you fail to take good care of Sierra for your big brother. But,

darling, if you’re looking out for Sierra, you shouldn’t have always covered her up like this. I wouldn’t

have known she swiped someone else’s work if Fulton hadn’t told me.”

Horace glanced at Rita’s delicate face, reminiscing about their first encounter. Recalling Rita had been

through some tough times, his tone remained firm, but there was a noticeable softening.

With tears in her eyes, Rita played the coquette.

“She did do something wrong. I have already taught her a Lesson. If you can help her sort this mess, I’ll

lay down the law and ask her to behave herself in the coming days. Horace, can you help her out this

time?”

Horace’s demeanor softened, and he gently patted Rita’s shoulder.

“I can lend a hand this time, but she better heed my advice moving forward.”

Rita, taken aback, cautiously asked, “What do you mean?”

Horace met her gaze and explained, “I haven’t made up my mind yet.

Test assured I won’t harm her. I just won’t let her loaf around at my place causing trouble.”
