Suddenly, his phone rang. When he saw who the caller was, his expression turned serious. “Mr. Olman?”
“Do you have time right now, Emrys? Can you visit me? I wish to speak to you about something,” replied Walter.
“All right, Mr. Olman. I’ll be right there.” Emrys then ended the call. I was just thinking about heading out to cool my head. Mr. Olman’s timing is impeccable.
A while later, he arrived at Walter’s place.
Walter then led Emrys to a middle–aged woman and introduced her with a smile. “Come over here, Emrys. This is Ms. Valentine.”
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Valentine!” greeted Emrys. I remember her somewhat. I think she used to work at the orphanage, but my memory could be wrong.
Shocked, Scarlett Valentine studied Emrys before turning to Walter. “Is he really the child who disappeared in the fire back then?”
Walter nodded.
“I got lucky and was saved by an old friar,” added Emrys.
“You’re truly blessed to have survived such a massive fire, Emrys! I think you’re destined to be a powerful and wealthy man.” Scarlett scrutinized Emrys and repeatedly nodded, looking satisfied.
Curious, Emrys asked, “Why did you suddenly call me here to introduce her to me, Mr. Olman?“.
In response, Walter laughed and explained, “Well, you see, Ms. Valentine has a daughter who’s returning from studying abroad. I thought I could help you two meet and get to know each other.
Ah, I see. He’s setting up a blind date for me. Emrys smiled bitterly in his mind and was about to say
1. no.
Suddenly, Walter sighed. “Ms. Valentine’s daughter is an excellent international student. Initially, I was going to introduce her to Gavin. However, that b*stard was a disappointing mess, so I thought about you instead.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the courtyard with a melancholic expression.
There, Gavin was squatting on the ground playing with ants.
At that moment, his intelligence was equivalent to a five–year–old child’s. While it meant he

wouldn’t cause any more trouble, Walter was slightly heartbroken, which wasn’t surprising.
After all, Gavin might’ve been an unfilial man, but Walter had treated the former as his family member for over a decade.
Again, Walter sighed. “He was clobbered for owing money to the casino and suffered brain damage as a result. It was his fault, but still…”
Emrys didn’t feel great when he noted Walter’s sorrow. I’m the one responsible for Gavin’s current state. Still, the damage isn’t irreversible. I’ll consider treating him later on.
Concurrently, Scarlett handed a picture to Emrys. “This is my daughter. She’s pretty, isn’t she?”
Emrys glanced at the picture. She’s attractive, and her figure’s slim. Although, she seems familiar. Where have I seen her before? Hmm… Wait! Is it…
Widening his eyes, he questioned, “Ms. Valentine, is your daughter Emily Valentine?”
“Eh? How did you know my daughter’s name? Do you two know each other?” Surprise was visible in Scarlett’s eyes.
He coughed and answered, “No, I don’t. I merely accidentally overheard the name when both of you were chatting earlier.”
Walter and Scarlett exchanged a puzzled look. I don’t think we mentioned Emily’s name earlier. Well, it’s not important.
The two didn’t think much about it.
Meanwhile, Emrys inhaled sharply in secret. I didn’t expect to have the international pornstar Emily Valentine as my blind date. How lucky am I?
The story of how Emrys learned Emily’s name began with Ninette’s computer.
Ninette had two computers. One was for everyday use, located in the mansion’s bedroom, and another was her work laptop.
Recently, Emrys had been using the computer in Ninette’s bedroom and discovered her hard drive was full of porn videos.
In response to that finding, he thought she should be admonished for her misbehavior.
To prevent Ninette from denying the existence of her porn collection, he decided to collect the evidence
