When we were almost done talking, Krayden said with a smile, “We'll be a bit busier during this period. We might
work until the early morning and wake up early the next morning to continue with the work. You might find it
hard to get used to i t at first, so | hope you're mentally prepared for that."
| froze. "If that’s the case, it'll be inconvenient forto live in the city as it'll take more than an hour's drive to
get here."
Krayden nodded. "That's why we have a place for you to stay here temporarily. But i t probably won't be too busy
tonight. We can get off work after having dinner with M
r. Grant.'
| did not say anything else and started thinking if | should move here.

Theo had not arrived yet, so after entering the private room, | felt a little tired and leaned against the chair. |
planned to close my eyes to rest.
| was about to doze off when Krayden cin to call me. "Wake up, Ms. Lane. We're going downstairs to greet a
guest."
| opened my eyes and stood up, saying," Okay."
After following him out of the restaurant, | saw Theo and Elena coming out of the car.
Maybe what | said earlier was too harsh and made Theo too angry, so he did not sparea glance. His face was
extremely serious, and anyone could tell that he was i n a bad mood.
After waiting at the door for a few minutes, a black Rolls-Royce pulled over.
The car cto a stop in front of us, and in no tat all, an elderly man got out of the car. He looked to be in
his 70s, good-natured, and somewhat amiable.
"It's been a while, Theo. | almost couldn't recognize you," the old man said, his voice attractive and deep.
Theo smiled slightly and gestured to him t o go first. "Too many things have been going on in the past few years
and | didn’t have much tto visit you. My sincerest apologies.”
| did not know this person, so | looked at
Krayden and asked, "Do you know him?"
Krayden nodded. "That's Oscar Collins, a prominent figure in Hommiton City, though one who keeps a low profile.
He bought a plot of land at the edge of the resort and usually lives here to do sgardening. The old man has
high moral prestige and is highly sought-after wherever he goes."
Collins?
Out of curiosity, | asked, "Do you know if he has a granddaughter?"
He shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. The Collins have always kept a low profile. Very little is known to the
outside world about the members of their family."
The reason | asked this question was that | thought of Mr. Isaac’s attitude toward Shannon at the pub last time.

Shannon be a member of the Collins?
After walking into the private room of the restaurant and taking my seat, the waiter served the appetizers. Theo
must have informed them in advance.
Mr. Collins was in a good mood. When he saw Elena sitting beside Theo, he asked with a smile, "Aren't you going
to introduceto the lady sitting next to you, Theo?"
Theo smiled slightly. "Yes, | have to introduce her.”
Theo then introduced Elena to Mr. Collins, who then said with a smile, "I heard that you have a wife. Could it be
her?"
Elena deliberately misled Mr. Collins and stood up, saying, "It's an honor to meet you today, Mr. Collins. You can
callElena."
Theo glanced atand did not explain.
Mr. Collins did not ask any more questions, only looking at Krayden and me.
Krayden and | quickly introduced ourselves. Mr. Collins then nodded with a smile, "Everyone here looks like a «
good child to me."
