Chapter 1232: Has the Young Miss Finished Hiding from That Major General in the Imperial City After Four or Five Months?
The next morning, Leah and Hawk Howard returned to Los Angeles.
When she went back to Nanyang, Leah didn’t say goodbye to Hawk Howard. She just left a note on the refrigerator and dragged her luggage back to Nanyang.
When the man came back, he looked at the empty apartment and clean guest room, his gaze slightly dimmed, and sat quietly in the empty living room, saying nothing.
Nanyang had already entered autumn. Leah’s flight arrived in Nanyang and she went straight back to Squire Manor. The servants who stayed behind were taken aback to see her return, hurriedly coming forward to move her luggage, and said with a smile, "Miss Leah is back, why didn’t you notify us to pick you up?"
"Just put the luggage upstairs. Has my brother come back recently?"
"Mr. Squire hasn’t returned yet," the servant said.
Leah nodded and made a phone call to Delphine. Since she left, Nanyang had undergone great changes. Ignatius Leclair had transferred his vast assets to Delphine’s name, then disappeared for a month. Delphine even found the blind Ignatius Leclair in the barren Ireland Hill.
Ignatius Leclair, who suffered from brain disease and blindness, was taken by Delphine to the United Kingdom for treatment.
The two of them have been in the United Kingdom during this time.
Upon learning this, Leah chuckled lightly, sure enough, the tables had turned. Ignatius Leclair, who was once so glorious and looked down upon the world, now had a time when he was blind and hid in a deep mountain, not daring to meet people. Only Delphine was soft-hearted enough to care about his life or death.
But from the fact that the man gave all his assets to Delphine, there was still some merit; he wasn’t entirely a scoundrel.
In the future, little Delphine will be the matriarch of the financial magnate and won’t have to look at Ignatius Leclair’s mood.
Leah told Delphine that she had returned to Nanyang. Once she learned Delphine was doing well, Leah hung up the call.
Back in Nanyang, her wandering heart instantly settled down. Leah hugged a ragdoll cat, watching it grow fatter. As she stroked the cat and nestled on the sofa, she finally felt a sense of peace, revealing a smile.
The servant, seeing the young lady return without a word, thought for a moment and decided to call Griffith Squire.
"Back to Nanyang?" Griffith Squire was quite surprised upon hearing this; it was somewhat unusual.
The man hung up the phone, frowning in thought. Why did she return at this crucial moment? The siblings hadn’t spoken since their last unhappy parting, with neither willing to reach out first. Leah’s return, just as he gathered substantial info to stir trouble in the Imperial City, made Griffith Squire feel cautious.
If he insisted on avenging the Shaw Family, it would mean a complete break with Leah, something Griffith Squire wasn’t willing to face.
Even if he washed away his father’s disgrace, losing his sister would be an irreparable loss.
Griffith Squire’s strikingly handsome face showed a hint of hesitation. Without a word, he went downstairs, only to see the sharp-tongued little girl Cornelius Turner was fostering came to play with Aurora Coldwell in the courtyard.
The little girl was flipping through Aurora Coldwell’s album, her mouth wide enough to fit a duck egg, exclaiming in wonder.
"Cornelius." Seeing the scene, Griffith Squire grew increasingly anxious. Recently, this girl has become almost inseparable, reporting every day, sticking to Aurora Coldwell.
Cornelius Turner came in from outside and asked with a smile, "Boss, what’s wrong?"
"Giving you a break, take the little girl out for a trip. Don’t appear before me for half a month." The handsome, roguish man wore a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, speaking leisurely.
Cornelius Turner froze for a moment, his face immediately fell, not wanting to travel with a child. He couldn’t sit still.
Cornelius Turner said with a bitter face, "Boss, I don’t know where to go."
"If there’s nowhere to go, go to Nanyang. Leah has returned, you can visit her." Griffith Squire directly passed the ball to Leah.
"Miss Leah has returned to Nanyang?" Cornelius Turner was stunned by this. Miss Leah had been avoiding the Major General Master in the Imperial City for four or five months. Is she no longer hiding?
That night, the news of Leah returning to Nanyang reached the Imperial City.
