As Valentina and Maria flew together towards Elys-Champ, Jack, Isaac Cameron, Don Albert and the others who were relieved
from their search returned to the villa first.
Jack knew that the Evans family was anxiously waiting for news about Valentina’s safety, so he hurried back to the villa as soon
as he disembarked from the plane.
In the living room, the Evans family stood with solemn expressions, hoping that Jack would bring back positive news.
Valentina had become incredibly significant to the Evans family, as his presence had impacted their lives for the past twenty
years. Moreover, his true identity as the benefactor who had once saved the Evans family had elevated his status even further.
For the Evans family, Valentina had surpassed everything else.
As Jack entered swiftly, the entire Evans family stood up expectantly. The Lady instinctively walked toward him and murmured,
“Jack, have you found him? Where is Valentina?”
Jack smiled and reassured them, “Auntie, we have located Mr. Wade. He is safe and asked me to assure you that he will come
to meet you once he finishes his work.”
The Lady breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes due to her overwhelming joy.
The rest of the Evans family erupted in excited cheers and even the typically reserved Samuel Evans couldn’t help but laugh and
cry.
At that moment, the safety of Valentina was their most fervent wish.
The Lady couldn’t help but ask again, “Why isn’t Valentina coming here now? Is he injured?”
Jack shook his head and replied, “I’m not entirely sure what happened. When we arrived at the scene, Mr. Wade was already
gone. We searched for a long time but couldn’t find him. Eventually, Mr. Wade called Don Albert and we learned that he wasn’t in
immediate danger.”
The Lady’s relief was palpable. “If it was Valentina who called, it means his life is not in danger...”
She choked up and continued, “We owe Valentina and Valentina’s parents an apology. Valentina clearly harbors resentment
towards us, yet he has saved us twice. I understand why he doesn’t want to see us for now.”
Jack quickly interjected, “Auntie, Mr. Wade cares deeply for all of you. When he said he hated you earlier, it was just a ploy to
distract the enemy.”
Samuel Evans sighed, “Valentina has every right to resent us. I did wrong in the past.”
Jack spoke earnestly, “Uncle Evans, Mr. Wade may hold grievances against you, but when you were on the verge of death, he
asked Miss Sun to deliver a life-saving elixir to you. This shows that, despite any grudges he may have, he still cares about you.
He may harbor complaints, but not hatred. In his eyes, you are still his family.”
The old man exclaimed, “Is that true? Did Valentina give me the pill that Miss Sun delivered?”
Jack confirmed, “Uncle Evans, I assure you, any truly effective pill like this one must have been made by Mr. Wade. Regardless
of who delivered it to you, it ultimately came from him.”
Excitement washed over the old man. “You’re right... You’re right! It seems Valentina still considers me his grandfather...”
The rest of the Evans family couldn’t help but smile with relief.
Only Desmond wore a peculiar expression.
Observing the clue, Tece asked curiously, “Brother, what’s the matter?”
Desmond chuckled, “I just realized something. It was Valentina who conspired against me and got me expelled from the
Rejuvenation Pill auction.”
The old man chuckled, “You deserved to be expelled. Valentina clearly stated that the pills must be consumed on-site and cannot
be taken away. You were challenging his rules, so it was only right that he expelled you.”
Desmond mumbled dejectedly, “Father, I wasn’t challenging Valentina’s rules on purpose.”
Marcus patted Desmond on the shoulder and smiled, “Alright, brother. Even though Valentina kicked you out of the auction, we
should be grateful. If it weren’t for you, our Evans family probably wouldn’t have caught Valentina’s attention so soon. It’s a good
thing. The entire family owes you a debt of gratitude!”
Desmond sighed sincerely, “Well, being kicked out by my nephew isn’t a big deal. I just didn’t expect that my nephew would be
so capable and our savior. When I think about my words and actions at the auction, I feel a little embarrassed.”
At that moment, the sound of a helicopter’s roar could be heard outside the villa.
The Lady grew excited and asked Jack, “Has Valentina arrived?”
Jack hurriedly replied, “Auntie, Don Albert mentioned earlier that martial law will be enforced here tonight for our safety. He
specifically instructed us not to venture outside casually. The helicopter is probably on patrol or something. There’s no need to
worry. Just rest tonight and perhaps Mr. Wade will come to see you tomorrow.”
Everyone accepted his explanation without suspicion. They had become somewhat accustomed to the frequent takeoffs and
landings of helicopters throughout the night.
After approximately ten minutes of flight, Valentina and Maria had arrived directly above Valentina’s semi-mountain villa.
With her hands on the joystick, Maria skillfully landed the helicopter in the courtyard. As soon as the helicopter came to a halt,
she jumped out and rushed to the other side to assist the disabled Jamie.
Supported by Maria, Valentina made his way into the villa and took her directly to the basement.
In the sealed basement, Valentina checked the mobile phone he had left behind and felt relieved to find that no one had been
searching for him.
The time for his actions tonight was in the dead of night. Under normal circumstances, no one would come looking for him.
Moreover, before leaving home, he had laid the groundwork with Hezti, who was far away in the United States, as well as with
his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He had informed them that a client had requested him to temporarily inspect Feng Shui at
another location. This way, if anything happened, his absence during the night wouldn’t arouse suspicion from Jacob and Elaine.
What worried Valentina the most was whether Elaine would sneak into his and Hezti’s room again in search of valuables. If she
found the letter he had left for Hezti, it would be disastrous.
However, since no one was searching for him, it meant that Elaine had indeed calmed down considerably.
Afterward, Valentina set down his mobile phone and took out a Reshaping Pill and two Regeneration Pills from the pill container.
Despite being seriously injured, the Rejuvenation Pill didn’t have a significant effect on his recovery. The best and quickest way
for him to regain his strength was to take the Reshaping Pill. Furthermore, his reiki had been depleted and only the Regeneration
Pills could swiftly replenish it.
These three elixirs would restore his body to its original state.
However, he didn’t rush to take the medicine. Instead, he retrieved an enhanced version of the Life Saving Pill from his collection
of elixirs and handed it to Maria. He said, “Miss Clark, keep this elixir. If you encounter danger or sustain severe injuries in the
future, this elixir can save your life.”
Maria hastily took a step back, waving her hand. “My Lord, I can’t accept such a valuable gift...”
Valentina asked her, “Didn’t you already take one while you were in the dormitory? Did you refuse it then?”
