âHilliard, since Miss Turner refuses to talk to you, I think you should start with someone else instead.
â
âWhat does that even mean?â Hilliard asked.
âStart with whom?â
âDr@per!â
Hilliard blinked at the name on his screen.
Without a secondâs hesitation, he called Cyrus and demanded a detailed plan.
Five minutes later, Hilliard was feeling more assured.
Sure enough, he could still count on his annoying brother.
Gathering his wallet and keys, he headed back to the Turner residence and put their plan to action.
Thirty minutes later, Hilliard got to the Turner familyâs villa.
He went into the villa quietly.

He found Presley in the living room, enjoying a cup of tea and some snacks.
She warmly greeted him when she caught sight of him.
âMr.
Simmons, youâve returned.
Would you care for some tea? Jennifer left the house earlier this morning, but sheâll be back soon.
â
Hilliard appreciated her hint.
âAlright.
â
He seated himself elegantly on the sofa and accepted the offered tea.
About ten minutes later, some police officers came.
They were with the Turner familyâs security team and Dr@per who was in handcuffs.
Puzzled, Presley inquired, âWhat going on?â
The officers nodded politely and approached Hilliard.
âMr.
Simmons, youâre the primary victim in this drugging incident.
Dr@per wishes to apologize to you in person and seek your forgiveness.
Would you be willing to speak with him?â
Hilliard took a sip of the tea elegantly.
Maintaining his cold demeanor, he chose to remain silent.
Presley also observed the scene in silence and refrained from intervening.
Dr@per attempted to approach Hilliard but was restrained by the police officers.
