Chapter 865

Helios frowned. “I asked my father to suggest it to Grandfather. You used to be a playboy, but you’ve
changed a lot ever since you returned from the training camp, so I don’t believe you would do that.”

Francisco was extremely moved upon hearing this. “Helios, I knew that you would believe in me. I swear
I didn’t touch Maizie. It’s just that…”

“It’s just that what?”

Francisco felt very aggrieved. “It’s just that I lost consciousness after drinking that glass of wine. And the
next thing that I remember is that I was sleeping in the same bed as Maizie when I woke up. I was totally
unconscious the whole night, so what could I do to her?”

Helios squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a short while of pondering, he asked, “Who
handed you that glass of wine?”

Francisco thought of something and said,” It’s Maizie. I only drank the glass of wine that she handed me
before”

He reacted in an instant and gnashed his teeth in anger. “I knew that it’s impossible for me to fall
unconscious only after a few glasses of wine! That glass of wine that Maizie handed me was definitely
spiked!”

‘My friends at the table have no reason to spike my wine. Great, that b*tch is already bold enough to
spike my drink!



Helios placed his hand on Francisco’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this matter for you.
Anyway, you have another half a year to go, so just bear with i

t for now.

Francisco nodded solemnly.

After Francisco left, Helios phone rang as he received a call from Louis.

At Blackgold…

Tristan was sitting in the receptioni lounge, drinking tea, and he chuckled with a hint of mockery flashing
across his eyes when he saw Nolan appearing at the door. “You’ve become an on-screen couple with the
eldest heir of the Bouchers. That’ s not something that I get to see every day.”

Nolan walked up to the couch opposite Tristan, sat down, and crossed his legs. “Why are you here?”

Tristan rested his arm on the back of the couch. “How could you say that to me? I’m still your uncle no
matter what.” “It seems that your age is catching up to you, Mr. Knowles, and it’s made you a lot more
shameless.” Nolan scoffed without showing him any respect at all.





Tristan did not care about Nolan’s attitude. Being a little shameless isn’t always a bad thing. Your
daughter and son share the same school as my great-nephew, and they even share the same class. It’s
fate that the children were able to meet each other.”

Nolan’s expression dimmed, and he glared at Tristan without making any noise.



Tristan picked up the teacup on the table. Your daughter’s name is Daisie, isn’t it? I can see that she’s a
thoughtful and adorable girl just by listening to her name.’

“What are you trying to get through to me?” Nolan started to get a little impatient.

Tristan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I need you to take
my greatnephew into your house for a certain amount of time.”

Nolan laughed out of pure wrath. “Are you asking me to help you take care of that kid for the Knowles?”

Tristan raised his eyebrows. “You can say so. After all, that kid still has to address you as his uncle,
doesn’t he?”

“That’s a no from me,” Nolan replied clearly. “You people from the Knowles are sending your only
grandson thousands of miles over to Zlokova just to study here. That, at its core, is an unimaginable
thing to do. If I’m not mistaken, something must’ve happened to the Knowles in Yaramoor. Am I right?”
“Zlokova isn’t the Knowles’ territory, but the Knowles have sent their only heir here to

Bassburgh. Not to mention that Tristan has come to me personally, asking me to take care of the kid, but
he, in fact, only wants to leave the boy in a safe place.

‘They really know how to pick their targets.’

Tristan said calmly after laughing out loud, “You’re indeed not a simple-minded man. The Knowles are
indeed facing some difficulties nowadays. And we wouldn’t have sent him to Zlokova if it were not the
last resort that we have.

“Please rest assured, we’ll never implicate you in the matters that we’re currently facing. We only need
that child to stay safe and sound. So, please help our family out for the sake of us raising and nurturing
your mother back then.”
