Chapter388:


    Night fell. Reynald asked Nigel to meet at the tavern. When Nigel arrived, he sat alone at the bar. He drank by himself, looking gloomy. Usually he was very social, but now he had a cold face and barely responded to the girls who tried to talk to him.


    Nigel called the bartender for a ss of lemonade, turned around and leaned on the table, looking at him, “What’s wrong with you?”


    He refilled his ss, “It’s nothing, just feeling a bit restless and can’t find anyone to talk to.”


    Nigel didn’t say anything.


    The bartender put the lemonade on the table. Nigel picked up his ss and clinked it with his. “Just say what you want to say, we’re brothers, I know you.”


    Reynald paused for a moment and finished his drink.


    After a moment, he put a photo in front of Nigel. The scene in the photo was very familiar

    “Did


    you take it?”


    Reynald avoided his gaze, “Actually, I just wanted to take the photo for Jaxson.”


    to


    Nigel put down his cup, suddenly grabbed him by the cor, “When did you be like this for a woman<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “What about you?” Reynald asked back. “You clearly promised me that if you heard anything about her, you’d tell me, but I just found out you already met her. You knew about me and her… Don’t tell me you liked her too?”


    “I’m not like you.”


    Nigel let go, his tone calm, “At least I knew she wasn’t divorced. I have my limits. What about you? You used her, got close to her, and in the end you wanted her to forgive you. Did you ever ask how she felt?”


    Reynald was at a loss for words.


    My chest felt really heavy.


    He admitted he first got close to Charlotte just to use her. Later, there were a few times when he felt torn and hesitant, and didn’t want to hurt her anymore. If it hadn’t been for Maggie’s death, he might have still been lying to himself.


    Actually, he had already regretted it.


    After a while, Reynald looked at him, watching his reaction, “We wouldn’t turn against each other over a woman, right?”


    Nigel slowly drank the water and said, “The problem wasn’t with me, look at yourself.”

    and met Reynald’s eyes, “Of course, I didn’t want us to get to that point either, at least for now, I wouldn’t.”


    After hearing his answer, Reynald didn’t say anything else.

    Two dayster, Prof. Hawkins’s team arrived at the Pornd Hotel. Prof. Kendall and a few


    experts from the medical field weed them in the lobby. Prof. Hawkins and Prof. Kendall had met before in academic circles abroad, so when they saw each other again, they shook hands and chatted like old friends.


    “I heard you had a really outstanding student, so why didn’t I see her?”


    Prof. Kendall smiled, “She’ll be here soon.” He looked at Caroline next to him, “And who is this?”


    Before Prof. Hawkins could introduce, Caroline answered first, “Hello, Prof. Kendall, my name is Caroline. I was lucky to hear about your contributions to brain disease medicine when I was abroad.”


    Caroline did her homework before she came. This person wasn’t just big in the medical world, the key thing was he was the head of the Pornd Kendall family. The Kendall family was one of the four big families. Just one Prof. Kendall already had tons of connections in the field, and even a few big shots in the Pornd area had to show him some respect.


    And he also had an eldest grandson.


    Reynald, she couldn’t count on her anymore, and Jaxson hated her now too. If it wasn’t for her taking credit as the girl who “saved him” in the kidnapping case, he would’ve

    So before she was found out for “taking someone else’s ce,” she had to find someone who could protect her.


    And it had to be the Kendall family!


    James looked at Caroline. The introduction was fine, but overall, she gave being a slick and pretty ambitious woman.

    Right then, James got a message from Charlotte. After reading it, he smiled and said to Alonso, “My apprentice got held

    way. How about we go wait in the banquet hall first?”


    Alonso nodded and said, “Of course.”


    Everyone left with James.


    Caroline followed behind the others, her brows furrowed.


    Did James have any apprentices?


    His apprentice really acted all high and mighty, actually making the big shots wait for him! No idea what kind of background he had.
