Chapter 1049

Yorrick put down the wine bottle, moved it aside, and raised his gaze. “I’m interested in your overseas
project in Zlokova.”

Tristan paused for a split second and frowned. “You’re interested in that project?”

Yorrick leaned forward slightly. “That’s the coast of the Persian Gulf. It connects the marine traffic
between Yaramoor and Zlokova. You do have quite a keen foresight, knowing that you should develop
the marine traffic. So, of course, I’m interested in this extremely profitable project.”

Tristan smiled. “Mr. Hathaway, it’s said that you’ve always had a picky taste when it comes to project
investment. I really didn’t expect that my project would catch your attention.

Yorrick placed his arms across the back of the couch. “I won’t make you work for nothing. I’ll invest a
billion pounds into your project.” Tristan’s eyes moved as he pondered.

‘The project actually piqued Yorrick’s interest and made him spend such an amount of money. This
shows that the coast of the Persian Gulf really has great prospects.’

“An opportunity to invest in the project in exchange for Nollace’s whereabouts. Is this a loss to me in a
business sense?”

Yorrick smiled. “The project would take up five years, and a lot of liquidity is needed when everything is
on the go. Not to mention the incident that involved the

Knowles a while back, I don’t think you can guarantee that there won’t be any financial crisis after what
happened, am I right?”

Tristan frowned.



What he said is indeed correct. Because of the changes within the Knowles, the liquidity that the project
has piled up for the later stages is not enough to protect the company from any financial crisis. I’ve been
cracking my head in the past two months precisely because of this matter. After all, the project has
already started, and I’ve signed the contract with Eastwood Enterprise.

‘Now that Yorrick intends to take over the project, it is indeed the best thing that could’ve happened.’

Tristan stood up slowly. “I’ll send the contract over by tomorrow, so please bring the child here by then
too.





Yorrick looked up at him and frowned.” You may have to fortify yourself mentally for this.” Tristan was
startled and stared at him.’What do you mean by that?” Yorrick also stood up. “I’ll bring you to go see him
now. You’ll know by then.”

The car drove slowly toward the township of Brandscape and arrived at the sanatorium in the town.
Tristan stepped into the sanatorium with Yorrick and a few bodyguards.

The director of the premises came out to greet them in person and smiled. “Mr. Hathaway, to what do we
owe the honor?’

Yorrick asked, “Where’s the child that was sent here a few months ago?”

The director replied instantly, “He’s in the backyard.”

The director then led Yorrick and Tristan to the backyard. Several kids were playing soccer in the
backyard,





and one boy was sitting on the bench in the corridor who did not join them. Tristan recognized that it was
Noilace.

The director walked behind Noilace and patted him on the shoulder.

Noilace turned around, and a scar could be seen on his originally smooth and tender cheek. Tristan was
astounded and walked toward him. “Noilace…”

Noilace stared at him expressionlessly, but there was a hint of confusion in his dull pupils. The director
explained helplessly,” Unfortunately, he suffered a serious head injury before he was brought here, so he
can’t remember his name or family. As for the scar on his face, we can only wait for his body to fully
recover before sending him to a hospital for scar treatment and removal…”

Tristan squatted down, stretched out his hand toward Noilace, and gently stroked his hair. “Nollace, don’t
you remember me?”

Nollace shook his head.

Tristan placed his hand on his shoulder, and there was a hint of guilt on his face.” I’m sorry, it’s all my
fault . Let’s bring you home now. I’m here to bring you home to your parents.” Tristan got up, took
Noilace’s hand, and said to Yorrick, “Thank you, but I want to take him home for treatment now.”

Yorrick shrugged and did not plan to stop him.

Tristan took Nollace back to the Knowles mansion.

Rick and his wife felt very distressed when they saw their child’s current condition, especially Mrs.
Knowles
