Chapter 567 Everyone turned to look.
They saw a man standing at the restaurant entrance with a suitcase in hand.
âRyder, youâre back, Raleign called out gently.
1 Since the beginning, Raleign and Kevin had been watching this bustling scene.
The Thomas family was usually quite lowâkey, so such a lively atmosphere was a rare sight indeed.
Agnes looked at the face in front of her, slightly surprised.
She had guessed it when she was in the lab, it must be Ryderâs territory.
Because in this world, no one cared more about Nocturneâs condition than him.
And those notes in the materials, Agnes spotted them right away.
Agnes almost forgot that Ryder had returned to the Thomas family four years ago, but he didnât change his surname.
It was said that the Thomas family valued him highly and had been persuading him to return to work in the company for the past four years, but Ryder insisted on studying medicine abroad.
Hammer noticed a slight change in Ryderâs complexion.
The person in front of him must be the highest ranking member of the Thomas family.
Because Raleign and Kevin were not mature enough, the old man brought Ryder back to groom him as the successor.
Although Ryder is currently the third young master of the Thomas family, everyone knows that with the Thomas familyâs fondness for him, he will eventually take the helm of the Thomas family. Even Raleign and Kevin are very clear about this.
Hammer quickly greeted him with a smile, âMr. Ryder, why didnât you tell us you were coming back? We could have sent someone to pick you up at the airport.â
Ryder simply gave Hammer a glance, then walked straight to Agnes.
The moment he stepped through the door, he heard everything going on inside.
But Ryder wasnât focused on any of that, his gaze was locked on Agnes.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes slightly unfocused, her steps weak, clearly unwell.
Ryder walked up to Agnes, reached out and touched her forehead, âWhy didnât you go to the hospital when you have a fever?â
Everyone was stunned by this scene. What the hell is going on? Does Mr. Ryder know this Miss of the Pritchard family?
And Mr. Ryder, who is usually quite aloof, is showing concern for her here?
Hammerâs face changed dramatically.
Raleign and Kevin were also very surprised.
Who is this girl exactly? Isnât she the daughter of Lauraâs exâhusband? How does she know Ryder so well?
Agnes shook her head and took a step back, âIâm fine.â
Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Hammer quickly spoke up, âMr. Ryder, we didnât know that Ms. Agnes knew you. But Ms. Agnes just went into your lab, how... should we handle this?â
Hammer was still unclear about their relationship, but Mr. Ryder cares very much about his lab, even the Thomas family is forbidden to enter.
If Ms. Agnes and Mr. Ryder are just ordinary friends, knowing that Ms. Agnes broke into his lab without permission, he should still be mad.
Ryder said calmly, âHammer, youâve been a butler in the Thomas family for so many years, is this how you treat guests?
Hammer, are you still planning to kick Ms. Agnes out?â
Hammer realized the implication in Ryderâs words. It seemed he was going to hold someone accountable.
Mr. Ryder usually doesnât get involved in the Thomas familyâs affairs, but now heâs firm and assertive, seemingly with intent to punish someone.
Hammer quickly explained, âMs. Agnes broke into the forbidden area of the Thomas family, according to the rules she should be kicked out.â
Ryderâs voice was cold, âCanât I change the rules I set?â
