CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 324: THE "MISSING" MILES GRANT

If I guessed right, by this time, Sienna Quinn and Landon Lawson should already be asleep. The man I care about the most is lying on the same bed with another woman; just thinking about it makes me feel like I’m going insane with pain.

Exiting the hospital, I took a cab heading towards the Grant Family villa.

Why did Miles Grant suddenly give up his job as a doctor? This matter itself isn’t a simple one.

Who knows what happened inside?

At this moment, Felix Orwell was sitting in his office. The pitch-black night had descended, and the slightly chilly breeze blew against his face. His eyes were shut tight, allowing that cold sensation to beat against his face.

Creak!

Sean Carter pushed open the office door, staring blankly at Felix Orwell before helplessly shaking his head, saying, "President Orwell, why are you locking yourself in here again? You’re not even turning on the lights, leaving the window open. It’s quite chilly at this time of night."

As he spoke, he walked up to close the window.

"No need to close it. It’s quite nice feeling like this." Felix Orwell interrupted Sean Carter’s action, his firmly closed eyes remained unopened.

Sean Carter turned his head, looking at Felix Orwell in this state, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He sighed, sitting next to him, and quietly said, "Young President Orwell, are you thinking about Sienna?"

"Hmm." Felix Orwell didn’t deny it. This impulse and desire suppressed in his heart were almost beyond control, making him feel crazy.

This time, facing Sean Carter’s doubt, Felix Orwell didn’t deny it further but admitted it straightforwardly.

Sean Carter stared blankly at Felix Orwell’s back; this man’s devotion to Sienna was in no way less than that of Landon Lawson. In recent days, Sienna seemed to be living at Landon’s place; she seldom even came to the company. Even today, when Chiara Thorne was specially asked to pick her up for work, she was still called away midway by the Yates Group people.

Until now, Sienna hadn’t even made a phone call.

"Young President Orwell, how about we have a good talk with President Quinn?" Even Sean couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

Those charming long eyes suddenly opened, emitting a glimmer in the darkness. Yet, this beam of light no longer held the former carefree spirit, appearing somewhat forlorn instead.

Sean Carter watched in astonishment. To think such a dejected gaze could appear in Felix Orwell’s eyes, never had he thought Orwell could be this kind of person.

Felix Orwell, who lived his life freely, unexpectedly also suffered the pain of love.

"Better not talk about it."

"Why?" Sean Carter didn’t quite understand; given Sienna’s current state, how could they not have a conversation?

Felix Orwell sighed, "Because I just want her to be happy. This time, it seems I truly lost."

Regarding women, Felix Orwell had never been afraid of anyone, nor did he think he would lose to any man in love. But this time, this time truly made Felix Orwell feel a sense of crisis, a deep sense of crisis.

"Young President Orwell, you haven’t even confessed to President Quinn. You haven’t tried anything yet, so how can you say you’ve lost?" Sean Carter didn’t want to see such a despondent Felix Orwell; such negativity was truly something he disliked.

Felix Orwell helplessly sighed, shaking his head, "If I used to think that there was still room to compete with Landon Lawson, now I no longer have the qualification to compete. He took a bullet for Sienna; even though I could block that bullet too, it was this very bullet that made me understand how much Landon Lawson loves Sienna, not a bit less than I do."

Felix Orwell paused, an unavoidable gleam in his eyes. "Landon Lawson and I were never standing on the same starting line. I spent five years trying to catch up with him, only to be easily defeated by him."

Felix Orwell’s voice carried a hint of helplessness.

A man who had always taken pride never thought he would face such a day.

Sean Carter stared blankly at Felix Orwell. This version of Young President Orwell left Sean at a loss as to how to console him. In these five years, Sienna never had relations surpassing friendship and professional dealings with any man.

I always thought she was only focused on revenge, incapable of having feelings for anyone else. But upon returning here, I realized how naive my prior assumptions were. It wasn’t that Sienna’s heart had no one; there was always someone there, someone who kept everyone else out.

Landon Lawson’s place in Sienna’s heart grew increasingly deeper.

"What brings you here?" Felix Orwell suddenly asked.

Sean Carter cleared his throat, handing over a file, "I already found out from Chiara that Miles Grant has died. But the Grant Family hasn’t made it public, and that alone is quite unusual, so I’ve sent people to investigate."

"Miles Grant is dead?" Felix Orwell was taken aback; the city’s best surgeon died just like that. It’s quite an interesting matter; the twists and turns involved are much deeper than they appear on the surface.

Sean Carter nodded. This matter is indeed not simple. Even though he sent people to investigate, he didn’t get the initial information promptly, instead receiving only a tiny piece of information after a lengthy delay.

This matter hasn’t been disclosed to the public yet, or else Miles Grant’s death would have caused an uproar.

Though the Grant Family isn’t a renowned noble family, its influence is significant. The death of the Grant Family’s eldest son would alone provide ample material for the media to make a splash, becoming a dinner-table topic for the public.

"You investigate how Felix Orwell really died." Felix Orwell said with furrowed brows.

Sean Carter nodded. After learning about Miles Grant’s death from Chiara Thorne, their spirits hadn’t been well. Given Miles Grant’s capabilities in the city and Landon Lawson’s protection, it was challenging for anyone to harm him. Yet, not only did they manage to harm him, but they also killed him. The depths involved in this matter don’t seem as dismissive on the surface.

Felix Orwell’s gaze drifted back into the distance; for some reason, Felix always felt matters weren’t that simple. Besides the people Sienna wanted revenge against, there was another unknown force obstructing this matter.

Since promising Sienna to help her with her revenge, it must be thorough.

Even though Landon Lawson is always in Sienna’s heart, it doesn’t stop Felix Orwell from continuing to love her, though he no longer expects any reciprocation.

Sean Carter walked out of the office, looking at Chiara Thorne standing outside, and helplessly shook his head, "Better not disturb Young President Orwell."

"Did I say something wrong?" Chiara Thorne said self-reproachfully.
