Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: No. 32, Old District

Several confidants watched this scene, including the usually stern Basil Smith, all were shocked.

The eldest young master, who had already lost control, was actively trying to restrain his emotions?

Was it because of the Young Madam?

Because of the Young Madam who only married into the Imperial Garden yesterday, and whom these confidants hadn't yet accepted??

Could that Young Madam have such influence?

Everyone looked at Hailey Smith with questions in their eyes because it was Hailey who had shouted those words earlier.

Hailey Smith looked bewildered and innocent: "Don't ask me, I know nothing, I was just trying..."

Today, he saw the eldest young master holding the Young Madam and guessed that she might hold a high position in the young master's heart, but he didn't expect it to be this high, almost reaching the heavens!

He truly knew no inside information; he was just shouting to test.

Who knew, the effect was astonishing...

In all the years by the eldest young master's side, he had never seen anything other than drugs calm the young master's uncontrolled emotions.

Seeing Hailey truly knew nothing, everyone withdrew their gaze.

Now is indeed not the time to ask about these things.

Godfery Shaw was restraining, and two confidants opened the other side of the car door, drawing his attention, allowing Basil Smith to seize the opportunity to quickly step forward, disregarding the injury on his left arm, and swiftly inject the sedative in his other hand into Godfery Shaw's arm.

The violent aura in the scene gradually calmed down.

Everyone quickly helped Godfery Shaw into the Imperial Garden.

Basil Smith picked up the already shattered glasses on the ground and gave Hailey Smith a warning look before entering the Imperial Garden: "We'll deal with you later."

Hailey Smith sat on the ground, feeling his brown-nosing efforts weren't entirely secured!

He immediately called for someone to find the Young Madam.

Such an important Young Madam must not be lost; Hailey Smith even secretly decided that no matter what happened in the future, he mustn't let the Young Madam leave the eldest young master!

He even came up with a reasonable excuse to explain on behalf of the eldest young master, about the incident of driving the Young Madam out of the car earlier.

As long as the Young Madam wasn't angry, the eldest young master would definitely be in a good mood, and if he was in a good mood, his brother might just let him go...

However, on his way to search, even after checking nearby hospitals, he couldn't find her, and as night was about to fall, the Young Madam still hadn't returned.

Hailey Smith panicked; the number of people dispatched from the Imperial Garden increased, causing a commotion in Riverwood City.

Everyone speculated if something must have happened for the Shaw family's eldest young master to make such a big move?

Thus, the major families in Riverwood shrank back like quails, fearing disaster.

Little did they know, it was just the Imperial Garden searching for someone.

The gates of the Imperial Garden were tightly closed.

Once Godfery Shaw entered, he didn't come out again.

No one knew what happened.

...

Old District of Riverwood City.

This was a half-demolished, abandoned town.

Ten years ago, the old district was planned for demolition, but the developer vanished after embezzling funds, leaving the residents with demolished homes but no compensation.

This left a mess behind, along with countless embittered victims.

Those who could leave the old district did, while those unable lived in squalid conditions, their already difficult lives utterly ruined.

Thereafter, the old district turned into a zone of chaos.

After getting off the car, Amelia Wright had just stepped onto the dilapidated street when some punks whistled at her.

She was too beautiful, a beauty completely out of place in the dilapidated and chaotic old district.

Her beauty stirred discontent in these people who seemed to live in hell, as if they wanted to drag her into the mire as well.

A punk approached Amelia Wright, eyes filled with greed: "Little Miss, what are you doing here? Want some help from Brother?"

Amelia Wright merely lifted her head and said two words: "Elijah Jefferson."

The punk immediately halted, his greed unabated, turned, and fled without hesitation.

Those others eyeing Amelia Wright quickly dispersed upon hearing the name Elijah Jefferson, too.

Amelia Wright stopped in front of door number 32.
