Chapter 831:
A slow, knowing smile bloomed across Elliana’s features. She offered no words. She harbored no intention of revealing her identity as Death Thorn just yet.
Milton, entirely oblivious that the very Death Thorn his father so respected sat in the passenger seat, treated the mention as part of the casual conversation before abandoning the topic entirely.
The vehicle decelerated as they approached a diverging road. The straight path led toward Harmony Estate, while the right turn wound toward Rosewood Villa.
“Elliana, Dad is absolutely desperate to see you,” Milton’s tone carried gentle warmth. “Let’s visit Harmony Estate first. I can call on you at Rosewood Villa another day, agreed p>
Elliana didn’t pause to consider. “Absolutely.” She burned with equal eagerness to reunite with her father, and introducing Adah could certainly wait. Milton steered the car straight through the junction. Soon, they were approaching Harmony Estate’s imposing boundaries.
The estate’s magnificent gates swept open with silent precision, and Milton guided them through, following the serpentine drive toward the breathtaking villa nestled at its center.
Studying the legendary mansion, the knowledge that her father awaited her inside sent anticipation coursing through Elliana’s veins. Her heart accelerated to a thunderous rhythm.
“So you and Dad relocated to Ublento suddenly,” Elliana began, gesturing at their opulent surroundings. “And your big appearance at Ublento Medical University’s opening ceremony… Was it all to find Mom and me p>
Milton confirmed with a decisive nod. “Precisely. We uncovered evidence suggesting Mom maintained secret ties to Ublento Medical University. That’s why the family forged a partnership with them, and why I made such a conspicuous appearance at their ceremony. Everything served as an elaborate cover for our investigation p>

Just as he concluded his explanation, Milton drove the car into the villa itself. Elliana spun around, her eyes widening with bewilderment, wondering why on earth they were driving inside the house. Then, understanding dawned— they had entered a sophisticated car elevator.
With the car nestled inside, Milton retrieved a remote and pressed a single button.
The elevator doors whispered shut, and the entire platform began its graceful ascent, carrying them toward the villa’s uppermost reaches.
Elliana observed in reverent silence. This truly embodied a legendary mansion—so sophisticated that automobiles could glide directly into its heart. What escaped her knowledge was that this elevator was a brand-new installation, completed merely days earlier.
After Eva had bulldozed past the bodyguards to confront Arthur, only to be unceremoniously expelled, Milton had implemented drastic countermeasures. He commissioned the elevator’s construction and ordered the stairwells permanently sealed. Now, access demanded a password known exclusively to him and Arthur. Arthur could travel directly to his private sanctuary without abandoning his vehicle’s protection, rendering Eva’s future ambush attempts utterly impossible.
When the car settled onto the fourth floor, Milton released his seatbelt and emerged from the driver’s side. He circled to the passenger door, opened it with ceremonial precision, and leaned inward to unbuckle Elliana’s seatbelt before extending his hand to help her out.
He attended to her with delicate, methodical devotion, as though she were crafted from the most fragile porcelain.
