Chapter 860: 423 Villa_3
Breathing in deeply to compose himself, Agave Rinto glared at the computer screen and opened it once again.
The woman finished her dance, casting a seductive glance and seemingly beckoning him with her fingers as the enchanting music began to play: Come, be merry, we have time to spare…
Agave Rinto’s face turned darker than the bottom of a pan. He was being played for a fool…
In the blink of an eye, he had already mentally selected 180 different tortures for Kelly Martinez. Just as he was about to close the computer, a file started to decrypt itself.
The folder swiftly opened, revealing a list of names on the screen.
Agave Rinto read through it at a normal pace, and the file was automatically destroyed.
He sat silently, not uttering a single word for a long while.
The car drove into The Rintos’ Manor, stopping in front of the main hall.
From the passenger’s seat, Finnian Moore looked back, carefully calling out, “Master McKay? We’re home.”
Agave Rinto jerked his head up abruptly. The fiery light in his eyes was as intense and hot as a blazing star. The intensity made Finnian flinch, and he instinctively lowered his gaze.
“Bring Ricky Wood back. I need to discuss important matters with him,” ordered Agave Rinto.
Ever since Ricky Wood was taken in by the police, he had been held in isolation. After Virginia Frost left Pethkids, Bartlett Parker was subjected to legal proceedings and a delegation from Lostswa took over the investigation. Ricky Wood was cooperating with the investigation team and the case was nearly closed. Ricky would be able to return soon.
Finnian responded, and after Agave Rinto got out, he ordered the driver to leave The Rintos’ Manor once again.

“Master McKay.” Butler Rinto respectfully approached him.
Agave Rinto walked into the study while the housekeeper served tea.
“Master McKay, how is the Mistress’ healing progressing?”
“Nothing serious, she should be discharged in a few days,” he answered casually.
“That’s good.” The relief in butler Rinto’s voice was evident, “Master Iver’s soul can now rest in peace.”
Agave Rinto shot him a cold look, causing the housekeeper’s heart to shiver slightly, prompting him to respond with a forced smile.
“Leave, I have matters to attend to,” Agave Rinto waved him off.
Butler Rinto consented and turned to leave, glancing one last time at the man sitting behind the desk, narrowing his eyes.
Some things, Master McKay seemed to have forgotten, it seemed he would have to provide a reminder.

A cell phone on the bedside table continued to buzz. Dallyn asked, “Mistress, your phone has been ringing non-stop. Is there an urgent matter?”
Aubree Groove, who had been peacefully reading on the sofa on the balcony, set her book down and went over to look at her phone.
A message from Kelly Martinez.
Aubree Groove closed her phone and asked, “Dallyn, isn’t Chinese New Year approaching?”
Dallyn began counting days on her fingers, “Today is January 21st, oh, the New Year is in twelve days. Time flies, another year has passed just like that. But this year, I am so happy that I get to spend Chinese New Year with you, Mistress.”
As Dallyn scrolled through her phone, she asked, “Mistress, can you take me to Dreamy Villa? Every year at this time, the plum blossoms at Dreamy Villa bloom most beautifully. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to see them. But since Dreamy Villa is your private property, can I get special access?”
Dallyn blinked her eyes rapidly, her gaze full of anticipation.
Aubree Groove pondered for a moment, a smile slowly spread across her fair face.
“Because of the peril I recently encountered, my friends and family were worried for me. Therefore, before the new year, I decided to hold a Plum Blossom banquet at Four Seasons Villa. Not only can you go, but you can also invite your friends to enjoy it.”
Dallyn jumped in excitement, “Really? Can I really invite my friends?”
Aubree Groove smiled and nodded her head.
Dallyn grabbed her phone and began spreading the news to her friends. Appreciating the seasonal scenery at the Four Seasons Villa – the winter plum blossoms, autumn chrysanthemums, spring peach blossoms, and summer lotuses – had long become one of Pethkids and indeed the entire nation’s most sought-after attractions.
In the past, it would occasionally be open to the public on charity days but was tightly regulated. As the saying goes, scarcity breeds demand. More and more people praised the beauty of Four Seasons Villa, but too many people couldn’t see it. As time passed, Four Seasons Villa became an unattainable wish, much like the elusive White Moonlight.
Now that Four Seasons Villa had become a private property of Aubree Groove, no one would dare to set foot in it without her permission.
“If there are no admiring eyes to appreciate its beauty, the splendid plum blossom is nothing but a lonely bloom in the cold winter…” Aubree Groove murmured softly. Then the door to her hospital room opened, and Peter Aria walked in.
“After taking your blood pressure, I will be leaving, I have surgery this afternoon,” he said nonchalantly.
He never delegated these minor tasks. He always performed them himself.
Even the treatment of Aubree Groove’s leg wound, the bandaging and dressing, he did them all by himself.
Aubree Groove observed him silently.
“High pressure is 120, low pressure is 81, within a normal range,” Peter Aria deftly put away the blood pressure monitor.
Aubree Groove noted, “Dr. Aria, are you unhappy?”
As he was packing the blood pressure monitor, he paused for a moment, but immediately composed himself and stood up, “Nothing of that sort. I might just be exhausted from operating a few surgeries back to back.”
“You should rest well. I’ll come check on you later. Remember to take your medication on time.” With these words of advice, Peter Aria left in a hurry.
As the door to her hospital room closed, his face quickly clouded over.
