Carter thought that if Lauren could introduce him to someone this powerful, they could be a huge help to him in Draventh.

But after Lauren finished speaking, the Meltons looked completely baffled. “Sorry, may I ask, who is Holly?”

Did they get the name wrong? No way.

The young woman who had come to their door was none other than the Ravelle family heiress. Her every move and gesture carried a calm, commanding presence.

When she arrived at their home, she said only one thing: “The boy who was pushed off the flag platform by your son is my stepson.”

The rest of the time, a man named Anthony spoke on her behalf.

This was the Ravelle family. Who would dare cross them?

Rhea’s secret marriage into the Jamison family of Colburn and her raising a pair of stepchildren for six years was no secret. Even if word got out that a divorce was on the way, the children were still

linked to Rhea.

Now, their unruly son had hurt her stepson. Naturally, they had to apologize.

Thinking back, the Meltons were shocked and terrified.

Rhea hadn’t even threatened them. She had politely asked them to check on Adrian and offer some

comfort.

She had given them enough respect without forcing them and ruining their family. Naturally, they had to hurry to the hospital.

So, who was Holly?

Lauren asked, “Wasn’t it Holly’s friend who got you here? Right, you probably don’t know Holly since it was conveyed through her friend. In any case, since you came to apologize, the matter ends here. We won’t pursue it further.”

Upon hearing that, Jasper straightened, looking puzzled. “Sorry, I don’t know if I’ve got this right. Before we came here today, Ms. Ravelle visited our home and gave us the hospital address. That’s why we came here. Is that person named Holly someone working for Ms. Ravelle?”

He didn’t dare say it outright because he was afraid of the Ravelle family.

The room fell silent at those words.

Carter finally reacted. “You’re saying that my wife went to your home?”

Rhea had personally visited the Meltons, who had been reluctant to apologize, and made them come in earnest to apologize?

Carter had referred to Rhea as his wife. Lauren’s chest tightened painfully.

Carter’s gaze slowly shifted to Lauren.

Noticing it, she looked awkward. Her cheeks flushed as she fumbled to explain. “What? That’s not right. Holly said she—”

“Enough,” Carter interrupted. He already had a sense of what had happened.
