Time for lunch," Anson said, suddenly changing the subject.Lorraine immediately answered, "Yes, I'll go and prepare lunch for you gentlemen right away.""Your cooking is nowhere near as good as the Ashfords'. It just so happens that their estate is close by. Caspian, how about we eat there?" Anson sounded as if he were asking a question.But his domineering tone made it clear that the arrangements had already been made, and the question was just for show.Caspian said, "Yes. It just so happens that not long ago, the Ashfords and the Thornes discussed a marriage alliance. They said they would give me Quinn Sutton, the half-adopted daughter of the Ashford family, as a secondary wife. I can meet her while I'm there.""She's one of the Ashfords. Why isn't she offered the position of principal wife?" Anson asked curiously.Caspian laughed. "A half-adopted daughter wants to be the Thorne family's young mistress? There's no such rule in Veldmark.""That makes sense." Ans
Another group arrived and fought with Clara's men, but Clara ultimately won.They politely asked Old Madam Hart to leave, and it seemed they even mentioned "the young lord."When the old woman left with them, she dismissed all the servants and sent them home temporarily, as a kind of paid leave.With nowhere else to go, Wren had secretly hidden in the basement.Hearing noises at night, she'd thought the bad people from the afternoon had come back, so she grabbed a kitchen knife to protect herself.After listening, Evelyn understood.They couldn't find me through the royal family's network, so they decided to start with my grandmother.This time, though, Lucian was finally prepared and managed to rescue her.Although the Ashfords want a marriage alliance with the Veldmark royal family, their estate is generally considered safe.*While she was recuperating there, apart from running into Clara and the others at the auction, everything had been peaceful and uneventful.*"Evie, I'm so glad
"Yes. You're afraid to see him?" Warren asked loudly.Evelyn said nothing.His expression turned serious, and he asked again, "Do you really care about him?""What's it to you!" she snapped.She didn't want him to see through her thoughts.Warren clenched his fists and kept trying to persuade her. "Junior sister, he isn't the right man for you.""He isn't right? Are you? What a joke!""I..." Warren was speechless for a moment.Yes. Lucian isn't right for her, and I'm even less so.I carry too much on my shoulders, and I'd only be a burden to my junior sister.So all these years I've endured it, almost to the point of going mad."In short, if you don't want to run into him, you'd better leave quickly. The Ashfords move very fast," Warren warned loudly.Evelyn knew that, of course, but she hadn't gotten what she came for and was unwilling to leave just like that."Tell me where Master is. Quickly!""I won't say anything.""I really will kill you!""You won't." Warren was absolutely sure
Warren was irritated and thirsty.When someone brought him some refreshing tea, he drank a whole cup in one go, then went back to mobilizing people to find out who was behind what had just happened.He also had to wrap up the free clinic.After all, Lucian had ruined the clinic before even half of the promised thirty spots were seen.He had no choice but to apologize with costly herbs.The reputation of Vale Pharmaceuticals must not be ruined in my hands."This tea is delicious. Take the cup away and bring me another," Warren said casually.He didn't even raise his eyelids, so naturally he didn't notice who was serving him.Evelyn didn't leave. She asked coldly, "Do you know why this tea tastes so good?"Warren heard the voice and looked up sharply!He looked at the unfamiliar, ordinary face in front of him. Though it was completely different from the face he remembered, just from those eyes, that aura, and the voice from before...He was certain this was the person he'd been looking
When Warren saw who had arrived, he was stunned.It's him.What kind of cruel fate is this?It's him again!He clenched his fists in anger.He had checked his junior sister's records before and found them under special protection. Even he couldn't dig up much.So he's the one behind all of it!Fortunately, he knew that his junior sister had become the legendary Dr. X, with exceptional medical skills.But recently she had mysteriously disappeared, and he was very worried. He feared something had happened to her, and feared even more that she had been captured by that force.That was why he'd come up with the plan to lure her out.And then a troublesome person had shown up."You. Hand over Little Evie right now!" Lucian glared at Warren, his patience nearly gone.Warren stayed calm and spoke coldly. "She doesn't want to see you.""Impossible! I'm her husband. What happens between us is none of your business!" Lucian roared.Warren was unmoved. "If I'm not mistaken, you are the Ashfords'
Lorraine had never expected such a reaction.She realized at once that this man definitely knew Evelyn!Which means Dr. X very likely knows that little witch too.Her hope that he would heal her face vanished in an instant.To seize the initiative, the quick-witted Lorraine said immediately, "Unless you heal my face first, I won't say a word!"Unfortunately, the threat backfired.Warren said firmly, "She is a kind person and wouldn't ordinarily hurt anyone so badly. If she ruined your face, it proves you offended her.""If I heal you, she'll certainly be angry with me when she finds out."His voice grew colder and colder.Lorraine had a bad feeling."What... what are you going to do?" she asked, backing away.Warren was still sensible and didn't act in public.He leaned close to her ear and threatened coldly, "If you don't tell me everything you know, I have plenty of ways to make your face even worse and uglier!""You... you wouldn't dare!""Would you like to try?""Aren't you someon
