    **Chapter 570: The Perfect Cover**


    Henry’s broad shoulders seemed to slump under an invisible weight, the tension in the air palpable.


    “No, no, of course not. You’re reading too much into it,” he said, his voice strained as he forced a smile that felt more like a grimace, one that dripped with a desperate need for approval.


    Tess, with her keen eyes, caught every subtle twitch of his features, the fleeting look of derision that danced in her gaze.


    “Really?” she thought, amusement flickering in her mind like a candle in the wind.


    Fortunately, the moment she had sent Bessie upstairs with Steven and his entourage, she had reached out to these three. The situation had taken a turn; Henry’s suspicions had risen like a tide, making it clear that keeping them at Evermount Heights was no longer a viable option. That’s where these three came into y, their presence a necessary shield.


    “Right. A man who has been absent from his daughter’s life for so many years has no business pointing fingers at the people in it now, does he?” Abel’s words sliced through the tension, bold and unyielding, as he swept his hair back defiantly.


    Raven, seated nearby, couldn’t suppress the twitch of her lips, augh threatening to escape her. It was a moment of levity in the thick atmosphere, one that only Abel would dare to conjure. With connections that could shake the very foundations of their world, Henry felt the heat of fury rising within him, yet he was left with no choice but to swallow it down.


    At Abel’s audacious remark, Henry’s carefully crafted fatherly facade began to crack, the fa?ade of authority slipping away like sand through his fingers.


    His smile stiffened, a mask of forced politeness. “Mr. Shaw, what exactly are you trying to say?” he asked, his voiceced with a mixture of irritation and confusion.


    Abel met his gaze with an icy calmness. “I’m speaking the truth. Isn’t that obvious?” he replied, the corners of his mouth curling into a smirk that only deepened Henry’s difort.


    Henry felt hisposure waver, the corners of his mouth drooping as he realized that sitting in that room for even one more moment would be an exercise in agony.


    With a sudden burst of energy, he stood up, ncing at his phone, which betrayed him with itsck of notifications. Heughed awkwardly, a hollow sound that echoed in the silence. “I have some business to attend to. I won’t intrude on your meal any longer.”


    Tess remained silent, merely waving her hand dismissively, signaling that he was free to leave.


    Abel, ever the provocateur, crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. “Do you need me to walk you out? Is it because of me?” he teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he covered his mouth in a mock disy of innocence.


    Henry’s annoyance boiled beneath the surface, yet he felt utterly powerless against Abel’s relentless charm. He forced a strained smile. “Of course not, Mr. Shaw. Don’t overthink it.”


    “Fine, then see yourself out,” Abel replied nonchntly, his focus shifting back to the table.


    The breakfast spread was a feast for the senses—colorful, abundant, and inviting. Abel’s gaze flitted to the te before him, and he wrinkled his nose. “I don’t like white tes. Get me a blue one,” hemanded, his tone yful yet firm.


    He called out to Bessie, who looked to Tess for guidance, her eyes wide with uncertainty.


    With a sigh that spoke volumes, Tess rubbed her temples, feeling the weight of the morning’s chaos. Yet, she relented, instructing Bessie to fulfill Abel’s request.


    A few momentster, Abel was grinning ear to ear, clutching a pristine blue ceramic te as he settled into the chair next to Tess. “Try this,” he said, serving food onto her te with a casual expertise that made her lips twitch in a mixture of annoyance and amusement.


    The Nichs family’s situation was bing increasingly precarious. Henry’s growing suspicion rendered Evermount Heights an unsuitable sanctuary for them any longer. That’s why Tess had summoned these three—she needed to discuss a temporary refuge for the Nichs family.


    But she hadn’t anticipated Abel’s… exuberance.


    Tess’s mouth curled into a reluctant smile as she took a small bite, her resolve wavering.


    Abel was poised to add more to her te when she shot him a re, her voice firm. “I have hands. If you want to eat, serve yourself.”


    With a soft hum of understanding, Abel finally leaned over his own te, diving into his breakfast with an uncharacteristic focus.


    Though his movements were unremarkable, the way his hair fell over his eyes obscured his bright gaze, giving him the appearance of a forlorn puppy, ears drooping in defeat.


    Marc’s eyes were fixed on the duo, anxiety gnawing at him as he observed Abel’s antics. He clenched his jaw, a silent worry festering for his brother.


    Oh God, Abel was a master maniptor, a puppeteer pulling strings with effortless grace. How could his honest, straightforward brother ever hope to stand a chance against such cunning?


    At that moment, Connor, the straightforward brother, nced at Marc’s frustrated expression, utterly confused by the tension swirling around them.


    The natural banter among the group caught Henry’s attention as he lingered near the door, taking onest look before stepping out. Much of his suspicion had dissipated, reced by an uneasy eptance. They really did appear to be exactly what Tess had described—just friends sharing a meal.


    Yet, a lingering doubt gnawed at him.


    Had that person deceived him?


    He couldn’t shake the thought, even as he shook his head, attempting to dismiss it for the time being.


    She had no reason to lie.


    But what about Steven? And the Nichs family? If they weren’t at Tess’s ce, where could they possibly be?


    “Has Steven returned to the Nexus Research Institute?”


    The moment he stepped outside Evermount Heights, Henry dialed that person, his brow furrowed in concern.


    “No.”


    This time, the voice on the other end was clear, though rough around the edges, unmistakably a woman’s voice.


    A pair of eyes filled with venom surveyed Steven’s empty office, the silence echoing with unspoken dread.


    Normally, at this hour, Steven would already be immersed in work.


    Jolie couldn’t help but tighten her fists, frustration bubbling within her as she contemted the uncertainty ahead.Conclusion
