Leila stood beside Fred's bed with a feather duster in her hand and snorted coldly.
"Since you're still injured this time, this won't happen again. Once you've recovered, we'll settle things in one fell swoop."
"Now, hand over all the magic rings!"
With a pained expression, Ferde removed all the magical devices from his fingers and placed them in Lyra's hand.
Lyra stuffed the seven or eight magic rings in her hand into her pocket, walked to the French windows and opened them a crack.
He then walked over to Ford and took the cigar that Ford had just stubbed out from his hand.
"Get some rest. The Gray family is waiting for you to take charge," Lyra sighed.
Ford nodded: "Yes, Lyra, don't worry."
Lyra didn't stay long before leaving Fred's room, leaving it for Fred to rest.
Ford stared at his empty hands, gritting his teeth.
"You little brat... you tattle... you just wait!"
"Once I recover, I'll hang you up and whip you!"
Without his cigar, Fred had no choice but to pick up the jade box by his bedside and absorb the treasures inside.

When Ryan returned to his room, before he could even get intimate with the maids, Jonas came to find him in person.
“Young Master, some families that are on good terms with the Gray family have sent letters to try and gauge your opinion.”
"Do you intend to eliminate only the Payton family, or do you have other targets?"
"How should I reply?"
Jonas stood in the center of the room and reported to Ryan.
Ryan asked in surprise, "You're on good terms with my Gray family, so why are you asking about this? Are you just bored?"
Jonas explained with a smile, "Although these families are on good terms with my Gray family, they also have connections with other families."
"It must be those who offended my Gray family in the past who want to use them to test you."
Ryan said, "Tell them not to be the middleman."
"So that I don't get in a bad mood and clean them up too."
"Since you're on good terms with the Gray family, don't ask so many questions. If you keep asking, the Gray family will sever ties with you."
Jonas nodded: "I understand."
Then Jonas took out a few papers and handed them to Ryan, saying...
“Young Master, this is the information you asked me to collect about the Becker and Peyton families.”
Ryan took the papers in his hand, glanced at them briefly, and then handed them to Eve, who was standing next to him.
Jonas continued, "There's one more thing, young master."
He then took out two more envelopes from the magic device and said.
"This is a letter from the Diaz and Collins families. They say they want to visit you and apologize for the small favors they previously took from the Gray family."
Ryan didn't take the envelope, waving his hand to signal Jonas to put it away, and laughed, "The Diaz family and the Collins family?"
"They're certainly pragmatic."
"Sure, send a reply to let them come, but there are conditions for them to see me."
"I will only see them once, and if they fail to offer a satisfactory apology, I will not see them a second time."
"Uncle Qiao, please reply to my letter."
Jonas nodded: "I understand."
“Is there anything else?” Renn asked.
“That’s all.” Jonas shook his head and left Ryan’s room.
Ryan sighed. If he hadn't promised to give Alves a break, Jonas wouldn't be working so hard.
Eve placed the documents in her hand on the table next to her, walked behind Ryan, and gently massaged Ryan's temples.
"Where are Ellie and Cecily?" Ryan asked, enjoying Eve's massage with his eyes closed.
“I’ll stay with the mistress and keep her company,” Eve said softly.
Ryan hummed in agreement, removed Eve's hand, stood up from the chair, turned around, picked up the soft, supple Eve, and carried her toward the bed.
