Chapter 1017 Constant Dropping Will Wear Away A Stone (Part One) (1/2)

Carla was about to retreat when Eleanor stood up and walked into the hall.

Carla walked out of the Phoenix Palace, heartbroken. She felt a painful lump in her throat, but kept the tears at bay.

She had never dreamed of becoming the matriarch at Lucia's expense.

While she was trying her best to suppress the pain she was feeling, outside the palace, the moon was shining bright above JA City.

The city was bustling with crowds of people on the streets, beautifully lit by the neon lights of hoarding boards and warm yellow street lamps.

The Su mansion was also elegantly lit.

Inside, Gary paced back and forth in the study.

”Is there any news about Steven?”

He asked Secretary Liu, who was serving tea for him. He took his glasses off and rubbed his sore eyes. He had been waiting for some news for hours, and his mind was tired of the anticipation.

”There is, sir. But I'm afraid you wouldn't want to hear it.”

Secretary Liu swallowed back the words that were hanging at the tip of his tongue.

”Don't beat about the bush. He has already settled in Yu Sea City and shared his wife with others. What could be worse than that!” Gary snapped, putting on his glasses again, his heart beating a little faster.

”Sir, from what I have come to know...”

started Liu slowly.

He then filled in Gary with what had happened to Steven in the past few weeks.
