Chapter 435 He's Still Here He'd never tried to investigate him.
+ Pearle If he'd really wanted to, Winston could've tapped into the Ginger family's resources to find out everything about Dalton's background. He probably could've learned more than Dalton ever told him.
But back then, he didn't see the point. And now- Now, he simply didn't want to.
Winston hailed a cab, and he and Jean climbed into the backseat.
"Hope he's still there," he muttered, gaze drifting from Jean's face to the window.

"You're friends of Mr. Dalton?” she repeated, eyes widening even more as she studied them.
The moment she said his name, Jean and Winston both relaxed a little.
They'd guessed right.
Dalton was still here.
"Yes, that's right," Jean said quickly, nodding with visible relief. "We m couldn't reach him and got worried about his health, so we cto check on him."
"Don't worry-we're not here to cause any trouble. We just want to make sure he's okay. Jean's words were honest and sincere, enough to soften even the most guarded stranger...
The housekeeper nodded, visibly touched. She stepped aside with la welcoming gesture. "That's very kind of you. Cin." Send Gifts 1.3K # 10.45 un Whe to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
