Heriberto finally looked up and met her eyes, really, really wanting to ask–What about you, do you worry about me?

But when he was about to say it, he swallowed the words.

Because he knew that if he asked like that, he was just asking for humiliation.

“Okay.” He could only nod and, copying Iris’s attitude, politely said, “Thanks for your help today.”

Iris gave him a slight smile, and together with Aedan, left with Ezekiel and Isabe.

Heriberto was discharged from the hospital the next morning.

On the way home from the hospital, he got a call from Brogan.

“Mr. Hale and Mrs. Hale’s people were looking into Beckett and Zachary Olteran, probably Mrs. Hale would step in to support Beckett’s campaign,” Brogan said.

Heriberto had already found out that Aedan was Beckett’s illegitimate child.

He was so nervous and cared so much about Iris, plus, Aedan looked so much like his dead big brother, his parents even wanted to make Aedan their godson for a while.

How could he not look into Aedan’s background?

Except for the fact that Aedan was Beckett’s illegitimate child, there really wasn’t anything wrong with Aedan.

He couldn’t see that Aedan had any intention of using Iris.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just watched Aedan hang around Iris, Ezekiel, and Isabe every day and done nothing about it.

But since he could find out that Aedan was Beckett’s illegitimate child, then Iris and the Knighton family could definitely find out too.

Even if Iris herself didn’t look into it, the Knighton family would definitely check it for her.

After all, Iris’s status and wealth were right there, not just any guy could get close to her, let alone date her.

Since Iris already knew Beckett was Aedan’s biological father.

She said yes to Aedan’s proposal again.

Then it was totally normal for her to support Beckett’s campaign.

It’s just that the candidate the Hale family supported wasn’t Beckett, but Zachary.

If the person Iris supported was Beckett, then he and Iris would be on opposite sides. Zachary’s political views and campaign promises were all good for the Hale Group.

For the sake of the Hale Group’s interests and future, Heriberto was bound to support Zachary and would do his best to push Zachary to the top.

But if Iris and the Knighton family behind her got involved, things would be totally different.

If we just talked about money, the Hale Group couldn’tpete with Iris and the Knighton family.

“Is the news confirmed?” Heriberto asked Brogan.

“At that time, it wasn’t clear if Mrs. Hale would support Beckett’s campaign, it was just that Mrs. Hale’s people were looking into their details,” Brogan said.

“Got it.” Heriberto paused for a moment and said, “Don’t give any reply to Zachary’s campaign team yet.”

Even if it meant losing the Hale Group’s interests, he didn’t want to go against Iris.

“Got it.”

Afraid that Ezekiel and Isabe would worry about him, Heriberto went home, quickly took a shower and changed his clothes, then went straight to Weston Manor.

He left in a hurry and forgot that Ezekiel and Isabe were still in their early education ss.

But Iris was at home.
