Chapter 105 He Is the Most Cherished Member in the Association
At 5:30, Victoria got a call from an unknown number.
"Who is this?" she asked.
A woman's voice replied, "Mrs. Howard, this is Kimberly Nelson. Mr. Howard asked me to pick you up and take you to Serenity Grove Manor. I'm downstairs at your office."
Victoria remembered the case. "I'll drive. Just lead the way, and I'll follow."
Kimberly insisted, "Mrs. Howard, I'll drive. Someone will take your car back."
Victoria gave in and told her where to find her car in the underground parking lot.
In the parking lot, a tall woman with short hair stood by a black Mercedes. As Victoria approached, the woman greeted her, "Mrs. Howard."
"Are you Kimberly?" Victoria asked.
Kimberly, meeting Victoria for the first time, replied, "Yes, Mrs. Howard."
"How did you know it was me?" Victoria pressed.
"Mr. Howard showed me your photo," Kimberly said.
"Alright then," Victoria nodded. "We need to pick up Ignatius at the Golden Crown Hotel first."
"Okay," Kimberly agreed.
At the hotel, Ignatius was waiting in the lobby with Colin, who was flying back to Country G that night. Ignatius's eyes lit up when he saw Victoria and he ran over.
"Victoria," he called.
Colin, a bit jealous, said, "He's been waiting for you."
Victoria smiled at Ignatius and then looked at Colin. "What time is your flight? I'll see you off."
Colin waved it off. "Nah, no need for all that fuss."
Victoria nodded. Colin added, "Ignatius's piece will be released mid-month. Make sure he stays on track; I'll be checking."
"Got it," Victoria agreed.
"And Clara asked again about joining the association. I said no. Is that a problem for you?" Colin asked.
"No, it's fine," Victoria replied.
"Ignatius has a performance in Country M on the 18th. I'll arrange for someone to pick him up," Colin added.
"Okay," Victoria nodded.
After Kimberly loaded Ignatius's suitcase into the car, Victoria and Ignatius followed.
An assistant nearby looked concerned. "Mr. Campbell, are you sure about leaving Ignatius in Rihegde?"
Colin replied, "With Victoria, he's 100% safe and happier. Didn't you see he wasn't reluctant at all? He might not even appreciate your concern."
The assistant fell silent, feeling a bit hurt.
Everyone in the piano association adored Ignatius. He was well-behaved, handsome, and smart, despite some mental deficiencies, which made them even more protective of him.
Victoria had planned to buy some necessities for Ignatius, but Kimberly told her Alexander had already taken care of it.
That made sense, given how meticulous he was.
On the way back to Serenity Grove Manor, Victoria checked her phone again—still no message from Alexander. It had only been a little over three hours, so he probably hadn't arrived yet.
Noticing her checking her phone, Ignatius asked, "Victoria, what's wrong?"
Victoria patted his head. "Nothing," she said.
Ignatius only allowed Victoria to touch his head.
Suddenly, Victoria asked, "Have you been keeping up with your studies lately?"
