Chapter 1221 What Exactly Happened?
Yup, it was fertile soil without a doubt!
Because of her shameless thought, Jewel grew redder in her face. By the time the two
changed their clothes and came out, 30 minutes had already passed.
Alex had just gotten out when he saw the spirited old man sitting on the couch. He
frowned, unable to identify the old man for a moment. He felt like the man in front of him
looked very familiar.
After a long while, he finally recognized the man. This was Olivia's master, wasn't it?
He could barely hold in his laugh when he looked at Hector. Hector's short hair was black,
and he had also shaved his beard. He usually wore a long robe, but today, he was wearing
normal casual clothes. He wore black pants paired with a white T-shirt.
If Alex hadn't stayed here for a few days and gotten used to the old man, he might not
have been able to recognize Hector at all. Hector had gone through a complete
transformation.
With Hector's outfit, it might be overkill to say that he was in his 40s, but he didn't look
like he was past 50 at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was elegant, handsome, and even possessed an aura not of this world.
It was true that clothes made the man.
After some dressing up, Hector looked like a good match for Eugene's mother.
Perhaps because Alex hadn't said anything after a while, Hector spoke up first. "What
happened to you? Did you get hurt?"
It was only then that Alex returned to his senses. "It's nothing, I just got a cut on my neck.
You look so handsome today, Mr. Gedding!"
Hector's eyes immediately lit up. "Is that so?"
Alex said, "Yes, you look much younger."
Hector was elated, but he chose to hide it as he said, "Olivia kept telling me to take care of
my appearance. I'm not busy these days, so I asked Mrs. Nolan to dye my hair yesterday.
Do I look that much younger just by dyeing my hair black?"
Jewel helped Alex to a seat, then said, "No, it's mostly because of your attitude. Dyeing
hair may make you look younger, but there's also the matter of attitude. With how spirited
you are right now, if you say you're 20, people might believe it too."
"Hahaha…" Hector laughed. "You're good with words, aren't you? 20? My age is almost
triple that number."
"How else can you explain it? A person lives based on their attitude. If they have a
youthful heart, they will look young as well."
"Yes, you're right."
As Hector spoke, he reached up to stroke his beard out of habit, but he couldn't touch his
beard no matter how hard he tried.
He thought to himself that it was quite a challenge to get used to his sudden change in
style.
Just then, Ellen came out of the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "Alex, you're up. I
warmed some food for you, so go ahead and eat—Goodness, what happened to your
neck?"
Alex smiled and said, "It's okay, Mrs. Nolan, I just got a shallow cut."
Jewel said, "Godmother, where's Olivia? I want her to have a look at him."
"Olivia went to perform acupuncture on Blake. I'll check on her to see if she's done." As
Ellen spoke, she went straight to Olivia's room.
Not long after that, Olivia followed Ellen out of the room. When she saw Alex, she

Alex said, "I fought with a thief last night, so I accidentally got hurt."
Jewel knew what had happened, so she couldn't relax. "Olivia, hurry and take a look at
him. He's also injured on the waist."
Olivia looked suspiciously at Alex. "You're even injured on the waist? What sort of thief
could hurt you like this?"
Alex sighed. "It's a long story."
Hector thought that there was something they couldn't talk about in front of others, so he
said, "Let Olivia have a look at you, then. I'll go play chess with Mrs. Nolan."
With that, he looked at Ellen. "You're not busy after this, right?"
Ellen smiled as she replied, "Yes. Let's go."
Hector said, "I let you win on purpose last night. If not, I will never lose."
Ellen responded, "Yes, I know. I'll let you win today."
The two chattered as they went into a room.
Only Olivia, Jewel, and Alex remained in the hall.
Olivia looked at the two. "How exactly did this happen? What are you guys investigating?"
Alex didn't hide anything and repeated to Olivia the explanation he gave to Jewel.
She asked in surprise, "So, you mean Damian is already dead?"
