His feelings for her were mixed at best.
Waylen watched Mark and Cecilia quietly.
Unlike his naive sister, he could ascertain the value of the necklace at a glance, but he didn’t tell Cecilia about it. Just then, his phone rang.
An unknown number flashed on his screen.

Mavis needs your help. Please come. When she lost your financial support, she returned to her hometown to find a job. Her hometown is situated in a mountainous area, and it has been snowing nonstop. On her way to work, she accidentally slipped and fell down a slope. It’s hard to do a rescue right now. Mr. Fowler, | know that Mavis has offended Mrs. Fowler. | wouldn’t have called you if there was any other way at all to save Mavis, but without a rescue chopper, she would surely freeze to death out there.
She called you several times, but she couldn’t get a hold of you.
Please, Mr. Fowler.”
The girl called herself Rita Green kept pleading.
Waylen checked his phone screen.
There were indeed several missed calls.
Rena put Mavis’ number on Waylen’s phone’s blacklist.
Someone’s life was on the line.
Waylen agreed to help without hesitation. He asked about the situation in detail and told Rita that he would deal with it.
He hung up and then looked up.

“Are you leaving?”
She fixed her eyes on him. He had already taken his coat and was about to step out.
Waylen nodded in response.
He said, “I’ll be back soon, Rena. It’s an emergency.”
“But dinner is ready. And Uncle Mark is leaving tomorrow morning.”
Holding the handrail, Rena walked down the stairs slowly.
She looked calm, but only she knew how much her hands were shaking.
