Chapter 168 Eclipse Group's Crisis 95% Finished "Caden, Richard will be alright," I said softly, squeezing Caden's hand to comfort him. "We'll get back as soon as possible, and no matter what trouble Eclipse Pack is facing, we'll face it together." "Mhm," Caden replied with a simple syllable, his eyes meeting mine with a deep, affectionate gaze. "Grandpa, tell the captain to speed up," I urged.
I knew Caden's calm exterior masked a heart full of worry and urgency. I felt the same; the longing to return was overwhelming.
Richard had always been kind to me. If something happened to him, I would be just as devastated as Caden. "Worrying won't solve anything right now. Cinside and rest a bit. Even at full speed, it'll take at least three days to get there,” Grandpa advised, trying to soothe us.
After a few more days at sea, we finally arrived in Rivemon.
At the port, Grandpa saw us off, offering a final piece of advice: "I'm heading back to Frostmoore, but be careful. If things get out of hand, contactimmediately." "Take care, Grandpa," I said, feeling a pang of reluctance but knowing there were more pressing matters at hand.
As Grandpa's yacht disappeared from view, my eyes grew misty.
"Rosaline, after we handle things here, I'll go with you to see Hubert," Caden's clear, soothing voice broughtback to the present.

Keep it quiet? I quickly understood what Caden meant.
Richard's illness might not be natural. It could very well be orchestrated by the sperson who sabotaged the plane.
"First, we need to find Yale," Caden said decisively.
I nodded and handed him the phone Grandpa had given me.
Caden took the phone and dialed Yale's number.
"Hello, who is this?" Yale's voice cthrough from the other end.
"It's me," Caden said coldly.
"Mr. Holbrook?" Yale's voice grew excited. "You're okay?" "Yes," Caden replied flatly.
1/2 Chapter 168 Eclipse Group's Crisis worried about you and Ms. Sinclair. So much has happened since you went missing..." "We'll talk in person," Caden interrupted, glancing around. "I'm at Coastal Port." "I'll be there right away," Yale replied respectfully.
"Don't tell anyone I contacted you," Caden instructed sternly.
"Understood." Half an hour later, Yale arrived at Coastal Port.
Finished "Mr. Holbrook, Ms. Sinclair, it's really you!" Yale exclaimed, opening the car door, his expression a mix of relief and excitement.
"Let's talk in the car," Caden said coolly, as we both got into the backseat.
Yale started the engine and drove away from the port. "Where to, Mr. Holbrook?" "Take us to my villa in the suburbs," Caden instructed.
We finally reached the villa, a place I had never been. Caden led us inside to the living room.

He settled into the couch, crossing his legs with an air of calm authority. "What's happened at Eclipse Group? And how is my grandfather?" "Alpha is fine," Yale immediately reassured, stepping forward.
Caden exhaled a breath of relief and pressed his lips tightly before asking, "Yale, what exactly is going on?" "When I returned from Frostrau, everything was normal," Yale began, thinking back. “Shortly after, news broke about your plane crash."
"The city was in an uproar. Everyone was frantically worried, especially m Alpha. He organized numerous ve search and rescue teams to find you. But by the next day, he didn't show up. Donny said he had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital." "A heart attack?" Caden's eyebrows knitted together.
"Yes." Yale nodded. "Donny claimed it was from the shock of your om disappearance coupled with the stress of the search. When I went to the hospital to see him, Donny stopped me." "Donny wouldn't let you see Grandpa?" Caden's lips pressed into a thin line.
"Correct. He said Alpha was critically ill and needed rest, prohibiting any visitors," Yale explained, his face serious.
"Then how do you know Grandpa is fine?" I interjected, seeking clarity.
According to Yale's account, Donny had essentially confined Richard. So how was Yale so sure Richard was okay? 206 1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
