Secret Scion

The Crawfords' residence was a structure built in the last century. Made of green bricks, the aura of time covered it. The floor area was close to an acre, and the entire Crawfords' courtyard was separated into several stand-alone courtyards. The innermost courtyard was the place Solomon resided in. The other courtyards surrounding it belonged to Luke and the rest of the siblings. Asher and Phoebe were slowly walking along the cobblestone path. Both sides were flanked with luscious, green palm trees. The environment was really not bad at all.

As Phoebe strolled, she was also glancing and sizing up the surrounding environment. If there were any elites the Crawfords were hiding, then there would definitely be some traces. It was just that she did not notice anything in the past.

"Yesterday, when I was talking to my dad, you were brought up in our conversation. My father said that although you do not have a master, your abilities and strength are not to be underestimated. My dad was even praising you, saying that you are extremely gifted and have been able to understand many things even without a master. However, if you were to gain an amazing master, your strength and abilities would increase even faster. My father is not one to easily praise others."

Phoebe's expression was very natural, and no one would have been able to tell that she was trying to get Asher to spill some information.

After taking a deep puff, Asher threw away the cigarette butt and said, "If we were to talk about talent, the Webbs have always been a family of fighters. There is none among the younger generation that can compete with the Webbs. Mr. Webb's words are a little exaggerated." Phoebe responded, "That's right, I told my dad about the matter where Rodrick attempted to assassinate you. My dad said that back then, the strength of the mysterious elite who saved us might even surpass my grandfather's abilities. It was so shocking to hear that! Grandfather is an elite who is ranked first on the Elite Ranking."

Asher subconsciously took a look at Phoebe, vaguely feeling that something was not quite right with her. Can it be that she's here to fish for information about Aiden?

Thinking about this, Asher nodded in agreement. "That person is indeed amazing. It's a pity that even until now, I have no idea who it was who lent a helping hand. Otherwise, I would really have to properly thank him."

Asher did not reveal anything, so Phoebe could not do anything about it either. If she continued to pursue the topic, Asher would definitely notice, and therefore they simply started talking about other matters.

In an office somewhere in Alexandrius, Noelle was dressed in a suit, appearing extremely capable with a hint of sexiness, allowing the men around to feast their eyes on her. By her side was a woman who was in her twenties. She was carrying a briefcase, and she was Noelle's assistant, Lyn.

"Director Steward, the documents should still require a couple of days to be processed. Should we return to Rollinsford or should we just wait here?" Lyn asked.

"Let's find a place to stay first for the time being. In case there are any changes, we will also be able to deal with it at the earliest possible moment," Noelle replied.

After that, the two of them went to a nearby hotel and got two rooms. Noelle took a shower and as she exited, her snow-white body was covered in only a towel, covering her chest and her sexy butt.

After she dried her hair, Noelle took out her phone and dialed Asher's number.

When Asher received Noelle's phone call, he and Phoebe had just entered the backyard of the Crawfords. Seeing the familiar name on the screen of his phone, a ripple instantly appeared in Asher's originally quiet heart.

Phoebe subconsciously swept a glance at the screen of Asher's phone and vaguely saw Noelle's

name.

"Hello." Asher picked up the call.

When she heard the familiar voice through the phone, the corner of Noelle's lips could not help but curl up into a smile. Trying her best to suppress her excitement, she said, "I came to the Capital City for business and might be staying here for a couple of days. Do...Do you have time? I would like to see you."

"Where are you? I'll go over to see you."

Noelle immediately replied, "Hillon Hotel. I'll wait for you on the second floor."

After she hung up, Noelle immediately went to get dressed and doll up herself.

On the other end, Phoebe acted as if she did not know who was on the line and asked with a smile, "Who was it?"

Asher thought about it and said directly, "Noelle, she's here in Alexandrius."

"If you're going to see her, then what about me?" Phoebe looked at Asher.

"Why don't you return first? I'll look for you when I'm free?"

"No. I'll wait for you to return. It would be great for me to talk to your mum for a bit," Phoebe replied.

Asher nodded and took his leave.

On the second floor of Hillon Hotel was a restaurant. Noelle had made a booking. Thinking that she was about to meet up with Asher, she could not help but get excited. Just now, she had only mentioned that she would like to meet him and Asher instantly said he would come over to her. Did this not mean that Asher was also missing her?

Thinking about this, a faint smile of delight appeared on Noelle's face. Sitting by the window, her gaze landed on the parking lot beneath, waiting for the familiar man to appear.

At this moment, Noelle's phone suddenly rang. She immediately picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After some hesitation, she picked it up and said, "Hello."

"Miss Steward, I'm Phoebe Webb. I hear that you're in Alexandrius?" Earlier on in Rollinsford, Phoebe had already gotten Noelle's number after some inquiry, but she had never made a call. Hearing that it was Phoebe, Noelle immediately felt angry. At the same time, she was quite puzzled. She had just called Asher, so how did Phoebe know so quickly?

"Miss Steward, don't misunderstand. When you called Asher, I was coincidentally by his side. I don't mean anything, it's just that I heard that you have arrived at Alexandrius, so I thought of ringing you to say hi and also remind you in passing to allow Asher to return a little earlier. I'm still at home waiting for him." Phoebe laughed and hung up.

Noelle's mood was originally quite good, but after Phoebe's call, she instantly felt a little uncomfortable. Phoebe was actually at Asher's house and she was coincidentally there? Or was she saying that she had already moved into the Crawford home?

When Asher arrived, Noelle was still in a daze and had not even noticed when Asher arrived by her side.

"What are you thinking about?"

It was only when Asher sat down that Noelle suddenly jolted out of her daze. Asher's handsomely sculptured face greeted her.

"Work matters," Noelle lied.

Asher did not read too much into it, so he casually asked, "Do you need my help?"

Noelle shook her head. Suddenly wishing to drink, she got the waiter to bring a bottle of red wine and poured it into two cups, saying, "I know your alcohol tolerance. I'll drink a little less." "Didn't you and Rose drink a pint of white wine last time?"

Hearing this, Noelle blushed as she rolled her eyes shyly and said to Asher, "Wasn't that all because of you..."

She had just said this when her voice became hesitant and her entire face flushed red. Her eyes were misty and the entire atmosphere also became a lot more sexual.

Asher casually sat on the sofa. For some unknown reason, only when he was with Noelle alone could he act so casually and freely without the need to care much about anything else. After tasting the dishes and drinking the wine, Noelle also became more relaxed and not as restrained as when she first saw Asher. After a few seconds of hesitation, she said, "Before you came, Phoebe called me. She asked me to allow you to leave earlier, and that she was waiting for you at home."

Asher frowned instinctively. He never thought that Phoebe would tell Noelle such things, and with Noelle's character, it was fearful that she might have read too much into the situation. "What do you think about it?" Asher asked.

Noelle looked into Asher's eyes and after a few seconds, she suddenly smiled. "I believe in you. The more she wishes for me to misunderstand things, the clearer it shows that she doesn't have confidence. It also proves that I still carry some threat in her eyes. Isn't it so?"

Asher was a little surprised to know that Noelle thought like this. This also proved that after experiencing the previous misunderstandings, Noelle had become much more mature in the aspects of relationships.

The entire bottle of red wine was mostly drunk by Asher, and Noelle had just drunk a little. However, she still felt a little tipsy and a faint red hue had appeared on her fair face, causing Noelle to look extremely bewitching.

After the meal, it was already in the afternoon. Noelle wanted to take a walk and also sober up a little.

After their leisurely stroll, it was almost 7 at night. In autumn, the nights came earlier and the streets of Alexandrius were already lit up with lights.

"Rest a little earlier. I'll be leaving first." Asher sent Noelle back to her room and was just about to leave when he suddenly said, "Oh, right. Are you busy tomorrow?"

Noelle immediately shook her head, a faint trace of anticipation appearing in her beautiful eyes. "Then, I'll bring you to meet a good friend of mine. I'll come and pick you up early tomorrow morning." The good friend Asher mentioned was naturally none other than Griffin Quinn. Hearing this, Noelle could not help but feel a little sweetness in her heart. For Asher to bring her to meet up with his good friend, it was clearly stating that in his heart, he had already started treating Noelle as his own woman.

Seeing that Asher was about to leave, an unknown source of boldness hit Noelle and she suddenly called out to Asher. "Why not... Why not just stay here for the night? It'll save you from making an extra trip over here tomorrow."

After she said these words, Noelle's face was as red as a tomato. Her heart instantly felt as if it had leapt to her throat as she became extremely nervous while anticipating Asher's reply at the same time.
