Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1115

Derek returned to Blacktower looking completely haggard.

But the moment he stepped out of his car, Leroy hurried over. "Sir, Finch is gone."

Derek froze.

His breath hitched as the news sank in.

"What happened?"

"Today the Madam... no, Adelle claimed he was dead. But when the men went in to move the body, they were attacked."

Ever since the paternity test results came out, Derek had forbidden anyone on the premises from referring to Adelle as Madam.

Hearing Leroy's report, Derek's expression turned exceedingly grim.

His grip on his cane tightened relentlessly until his hand began to tremble.

"Call Dan immediately," he ordered coldly. "Tell him to return right away."

Dan.

Whenever a crisis struck now, Derek's first instinct was to rely on his biological son.

Over the past two days, Lacey had been stripping the Black Gate of its assets like a woman possessed.

All the assets Derek had once been reluctant to hand over to Dan...

...he had reclaimed from Finch and immediately transferred to Dan.

As for the properties Lacey had pillaged?

He didn't care. They were destined for Susanna anyway. One was his son, the other his daughter.

It didn't matter who took what.

It was his way of compensating them.

Leroy's expression stiffened at the command. "But young master Dan has already left for Ferrowland."

"What?"

Hearing that Dan had gone to Ferrowland, Derek's face fell.

Why on earth would he go to Ferrowland at a critical time like this?

Did he have any idea what Lacey was doing?

Truthfully, Derek was still somewhat reluctant to let Lacey take full control of the Black Gate.

And the reason was Elliot.
