Chapter 571: Grandfather Gives a Stone to Cheyenne
Even Vincent and Corey who were playing chess looked over curiously.
Kelvin furrowed his thick and well-shaped brows and asked in a deep voice, "What is this?"
Old Mr. Foley, with a mysterious and unreadable expression, gave a response, "You don't need to know what it is. You just need to give this to Cheyenne."
Give it to Cheyenne! Why should he?
Emelia felt an overwhelming jealousy. She had been back for so long, and besides pocket money, she had received nothing. Yet Cheyenne, an outsider, got shares and now a mysterious gift. How could she not be jealous? After all, she was the only female member of the Foley family, but why did everyone treat an outsider better than her?
Kelvin grabbed the box in his hand and reluctantly opened it for a glance.
Instantly, he furrowed his brow. He found it slightly unbelievable.
Why would Grandfather give Cheyenne a stone that was about the size of a palm?
It looked like an ordinary pebble with no patterns on it.
Just a stone? Now, Kelvin's face turned dark.
Emelia, on the other hand, covered her lips and laughed quietly. She thought that Grandfather doted on Cheyenne so much, but it turned out he only gave her an ordinary stone. It indicated that her value in Grandfather's eyes was similar to that of this stone.
When old Mr. Foley saw his grandson's expression, he blew on his mustache, implying that the young man's eyes were not as discerning as those of an old man like him.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alright, this stone is very important. You must deliver it into Cheyenne's hands. It belonged to your grandmother when she was alive, and she held it up until her last moments."
"I believe that only Cheyenne deserves it."
The old man's words seemed sincere, and if it weren't for the fact that the item in his hand was indeed a stone, Kelvin might have been moved by them. He couldn't help but wonder if Grandfather was playing a prank on him or on Cheyenne by making him deliver this seemingly heavy stone.
But in the end, he accepted the somewhat heavy stone.
Behind him, Chris couldn't help but stifle a laugh and said, "Mr. Foley, I heard there's a gambling stone market in RL District. Perhaps this seemingly ordinary stone is actually a treasure!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Mr. Foley cast a deep gaze at him, his expression inscrutable, before chuckling and praising him playfully.
"No wonder they say you're smart!"
His voice was somewhat gloomy, making Chris feel a bit frightened. After all, old Mr. Foley had never praised him before.
Emelia, without hesitation, mocked Chris' statement.
"Mr. Richards, you must have read too many melodramatic novels. You should stop daydreaming and be more realistic."
Chris fell silent and refrained from speaking further. After all, he was just a mere assistant, and the other party was the highly esteemed lady of the Foley family.
In the end, Kelvin left with the stone in hand.
As he took one step up the stairs, an uninvited visitor arrived at the house.
Gordon, accompanied by four plainclothes police officers, appeared at the front gate of the Foley mansion. Except for Master Vincent, everyone else was filled with shock. "Hello, Old Mr. Foley. I'm Gordon, and this is my identification. You can take a look."
After presenting his police credentials, the four accompanying officers also displayed their identification.
They were indeed the police!
Old Mr. Foley greeted them and they sat down on the sofa. He turned and called the butler to make some tea.
"May I ask if Mr. Murillo has any important business with the Foley family?"
The Foley family is known for
conducting legal business, not involved in any illegal activities like murder or tax evasion. It's quite embarrassing for the police to suddenly show up at their door.
Mr. Murillo bowed and apologetically replied, "Old Mr. Foley, you've misunderstood. It's not about the Foley Group or the family." "I'm here to find Master Vincent..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Corey's pupils contracted. "Officer, are you mistaken? My nephew is known to be gentle and timid."
Seeing that they clearly misunderstood his purpose, Gordon decided to go all the way and exploit the situation, hoping to find out more information. Straightening his posture, Gordon stared confidently at everyone with assertive eyes.
In a cold tone, he announced, "Timid, you say? But I received a notice that Teagan, the CEO of the Parry Group, died this morning at around six o'clock." "And someone saw Master Vincent quarreling with Mr. Parry at the café yesterday afternoon."
With his words, Old Mr. Foley immediately turned his head to Vincent. The wrinkles on his aging face revealed bulging veins.
"Vincent, is this true?"
Expecting Vincent to offer some defense, Gordon was surprised to find him calm and composed.
"Yes, we had an argument at the café yesterday."
"Why?"
Gordon's icy gaze was intimidating, pressing for answers, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Unexpectedly, Master Vincent admitted right away that he did meet Mr. Parry at the café and they had a fight.
"Yes, we met, and we argued. More precisely, he hit me."
He hit him?
As if remembering something, Emelia covered her lips in surprise and said, "No wonder your eye was bruised when you came back yesterday. Teagan hit you!"
"If he hadn't died, I would have gone to ask him why he had the audacity to hit you!"
Kelvin seemed to have figured something out, a fleeting glimmer of something unseen passed through his eyes without being noticed.
Vincent touched his eye and covered
it casually with a smile. "It's fine now,
it doesn't hurt anymore. Emelia, we shouldn't say such things, the deceased should be respected."
Sticking her tongue out, Emelia made a face, showing her displeasure. "Brother, why are you defending him like that?"
When he listened to their conversation, Gordon's face sank deeper in thought.
The outside rumors described Master Vincent as a gentle and kind person, someone with gentlemanly manners.
But based on his years of investigative experience, Gordon felt that this man in front of him was too fake.
Unmoved by their seemingly "natural" performance, Gordon remained cool and distant.
After they finished speaking, he
continued to inquire, "Hello, I want to ask, what is your relationship with Jane? Why does 90% of the Parry
Shares belong to you?"
His words shocked even Old Mr. Foley.
Shares of the Parry Group?
Why did Vincent acquire that trashy enterprise? Was it for business or personal reasons?
Kelvin calmly replied, "I don't know."
In other words, it was Vincent's personal action.
