Chapter 160 Carley Had Been to Prison
Dale was dispensing medicine while saying, “Carley had some things that kept him busy a few days
ago.”
I nodded, smiling faintly. “Is it about the Hinton Group? I’ve noticed that Walter has been quite busy
lately.”
Dale was the elder of the Hinton family. Even when I was just casually chatting with him, he sensed
something was off. He stopped what he was doing, looked up at me, slightly furrowed his brows and
asked, “Madam, is there something you want to ask me?”
Caught off guard by his blunt question, I paused for a moment, but didn’t say much more. I directly
asked, “Dale, has something happened between grandma and Ashley recently?”
He furrowed his brows slightly, and after a moment of thought, he said, “Madam, have you noticed that
Ms. Conner has been at odds with Carley recently?”
I nodded and said, “I’ve been busy with the Conner Group recently and haven’t been able to visit
grandma often. I don’t know what happened. I ran into grandma and Ashley at the restaurant before,
and they seemed to have had a disagreement. Grandma’s reaction today was so strong, so I wanted to
ask you, has something happened during this time?”
Dale gave a slight nod, fell silent for a moment, and then said, “Carley has always disliked Ms. Conner.
There hasn’t been any argument or anything, but a month ago, Carley took Odin with her to the South
City Prison.”
Go to jail?

I furrowed my brows, momentarily taken aback, and asked in confusion, “What was grandma doing in
prison?” What did this matter have to do with her going to prison?
Dale gave a slight smile and said, “How would I know about these things? I just heard Odin mention it
once, saying he was going to visit an old friend, seems like his surname is Boone.”
Surname Boone?
“Madam, could you please take these medicines upstairs for me? I’ll go to the restaurant to get some
light food for Carley,” Dale said. After handing me the packed medicines, he left with a light smile.
I held the medicine, my thoughts still lingering on the conversation we just had. Carley went to prison a
month ago, to see someone surnamed Boone?
Prison.
Surname was Boone.
Henry.
The only person I could think of who could connect the two was Henry. Moreover, Ashley was carrying
Henry’s child.
Why did Carley want to meet Henry?
Was there any involvement between them?
The span was too large, I couldn’t understand the relationship for a moment, so I simply stopped
thinking about it.
Returning to Carley’s ward, a group of people had gradually left after visiting Carley. It was already
dinner time. Walter had booked a restaurant and invited everyone to go together.

After my father passed away, my mother no longer enjoyed socializing, let alone visiting Carley. She
only did so out of gratitude for Carley’s help during the crisis of the Conner Group years ago. As for
Walter, she had always held resentment towards him, so she was reluctant to have too much contact
with him.
After giving me a few instructions, she was ready to leave.
Alexander originally came with his mother. When his mother left, he was bound to go with her. Olivia
did not hide her fondness for Alexander at all, and saw him leave.
With her eyes curved like crescents, she gave Walter a sweet smile and said, “Walter, I have some
urgent matters to attend to. I’ll have dinner with you another day. I have to go now.”
After speaking, the person dashed off in a flash.
For a moment, only I, Rachel, William and his wife, and Walter were left.
The restaurant.
Walter had reserved a spot in advance. After entering the private room, the waiter handed the menu to
William, asking him to order. William passed the menu to me with a smile, saying, “Tabatha, you
order.”
I’ve never been good at ordering food, so I couldn’t help but look at Emma and say, “Sister-in-law, you
order.”
Emma didn’t seem to be good at this either, but everyone else declined. Walter’s expression had been
off the whole time. William gave her a look, prompting her to order.
So, Emma went ahead and ordered the meal.
At the dining table, Walter’s expression was cold and impassive,
revealing no emotion. William and Emma seemed to have little to say to each other. However, Rachel
was constantly chatting with Emma, expressing her gratitude to William from time to time, even to the
extent of thanking him for saving her life.
Rachel simply said, “Emma, William, Christmas is coming soon, do you have time? I know there’s a
newly opened resort in Mount South, the scenery is nice, and I heard it’s quite fun there. I wonder if you
could do me a favor and let me invite everyone to go there.”
