Chapter 79 - Spilled Blood

Two days rolled over uneventfully.

Aveline got busy with the office work. The paintings were ready with the cameras. It meant it was time she moved to Sterling Villa. 

Henry had to leave the country in disguise as a vacation to destroy Damien's shell companies' fund, and Margaret accompanied him.

Knowing Aveline was busy, Alaric didn't disturb her until Friday when a card was placed on his table.

Ezra spoke while Alaric opened the card. "It's an invitation card from Ashford Holdings."

Alaric opened the card to read the big, bold letters, 'Black-Tie Investor Gala' for project Crown.

It was an event to celebrate with stakeholders and to attract future investors.

Alaric kept the card away after looking at the date. June 4, Saturday, was the next day. 

Why was he receiving the letter so late?

Was he truly invited?

He was still guessing when his phone rang, finally, displaying the name that hadn't lit up his screen for two days. 

Sunshine.
