Semua Bab Goodbye, Kate Willow: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Turning, Tony studied Lex and finally realized who he was. He asked quietly, "Lex Fisher, was it? Any relation to Andrew Fisher?"Lex laughed loftily. "That's my father—Riverton's most famous entrepreneur! What, are you scared now? Then go down on your knees and apologize, and I'll let slide the fact that you hurt Benji!"Tony rolled his eyes.He had spent the last three years investigating the massacre of his family, but the culprit had been well-hidden.Still, he was just starting to find some clues recently, and there were links to one Andrew Fisher.And if the Fishers were involved in the massacre of the Quill family, then their doom would closely follow.With that in mind, Tony found the goodness in his heart to turn to Kate, warning her, "It's over between us, but we were once married after all, so here's some advice—stay away from the Fishers, or you'll regret it!"Kate glanced at her grandfather Pierce before she knew it but only found him closing his eyes in silence.O

Gavin was spasming endlessly in his sickbed, while the monitors attached to him were blaring, warning that he was at his limit.Ingrid's usual composure faded too as she froze up, her slightly puffy eyes filled with fear and misery.That was when Ivan, Gavin's butler, rushed toward her. "Hurry, Ms. Carter—your grandfather wants to speak with you."With that, Ingrid's usual composure returned as she strode to Gavin's bed, leaning her ear over his lips.However, Gavin's words were unintelligible, and Ingrid anxiously glared at the balding man standing beside the bed."Chuck King—don't just stand there!" she snapped at the balding man. "Hit Grandpa with a dose of adrenaline. Just one minute of coherence is enough!"Chuck King was the physician in charge of Gavin, but he shook his head and explained, "The patient is suffering from multiple organ failure. Everything from his heart rate to blood pressure is dropping rapidly—""English, please!" Ingrid snapped, her tone cool.Though a

That was when Gavin snapped impatiently from his bed, "That's enough—shut up already! A so-called venerable healer behaving like some wimpy brat?! On top of that, you're all talk! Get out of here already, and don't ever show your face in Riverton!""Yes, yes…" Roch was at once cowed, nodding and bowing as he fled, but not forgetting to shoot Tony a venomous glare just before he left the room.As Gavin calmed down, he turned toward Tony and studied him. "So, Ingrid—this was the gentleman who saved my life?"Ingrid nodded. "Yes, Grandpa. His name is Tony Quill…"With that, she told her grandfather everything that had happened."I owe you my life, Mr. Quill." Gavin then smiled at Tony. "I've been poisoned with an atypical substance, and I'm well aware that it was the work of one Leon Bolton. That means there's a mole in my own house, or he wouldn't even have a chance."You can truly look everywhere but still not see what goes on behind your back. I'm lucky you came when you did—""

Feeling uncertain, Lex pressed, "Are you sure?"Kate nodded confidently. "I know Tony Quill. His pride is ingrained into his very bones—he doesn't yield to influence or prestige, let alone rely on someone else if he wants payback."Though Lex nodded in assurance, he soon frowned in irritation. "You really know him well. Could you still be hung up on him?"Then, seeing that Kate stayed silent, he chuckled, "Oh, I'm just kidding. Why would you be hung up on that loser? You're right. That prick must somehow have stolen the accomplishment and deceived Ingrid, so she's now hostile toward me for his sake!"Though he was basically comforting himself, Kate did not point it out and instead asked, "What about tomorrow? My family's still removed from the Carters' list of partners…""That's easy!" Lex grinned confidently. "Ingrid has asked my father to show up tomorrow, hasn't she? And the Carters definitely have to show him due respect when he does. Just put your mind at ease—I won't just ge

The masked hulking gang all chuckled in glee, regarding Tony with amusement.Their bald leader even dissed him openly. "You really are a true heroine, Ms. Carter, worrying about your boy toy when death looks you in the eye. What a pity, as you're both going to die anyway!""Then come at me!" Ingrid snapped, alighting with the baseball bat and shutting the door with an audible thud.She was not intimidated despite the hulking forms standing before her and was clearly brimming with bravado. In the car, Tony chuckled to himself. "Well, she has character—it's no wonder she can take over the family business despite her youth."Alighting, he strode in front of Ingrid and asked the men quietly, "Who sent you boys?"After all, he was still unsure if they were after him or Ingrid."Finally growing a spine, have we?" The bald leader laughed as he gave Tony a thumbs-up. "As you should as a man! Also, your question is pointless!"On the other hand, Ingrid was caught by surprise. "Mr. Quil
