nShadowless Ghost Hand stood awkwardly at the side.
nThe red-haired woman looked like she was struck by lightning. “City lord, I was one of the first handmaidens to come in and serve you! You even praised my tea-making skills…”
nTea-making skills?
nLance thought about it. When he had just become the city lord of Spark City, it seemed like he had indeed recruited a group of handmaidens to serve as his servants.
nBut those women were always noisy and troublesome. They were supposed to be dealt with by Shadowless Ghost Hand.
nWhy was there one b*tch left?
nShadowless Ghost Hand received Lance’s questioning gaze and said awkwardly, “The other maids have indeed been sent out of the city gate, but you once praised her tea-making skills to be pretty good, so I selfishly let her stay.”
nLance remained quiet. “…”
n“Did I say that I wanted to keep this person here?” Lance frowned. “When can you really take what I said to heart? Did I just say that she brews tea well?”
nIf Shadowless Ghost Hand did not say it, Lance really would not have thought of it.
nLance had really said it himself, but he did not mean it at all.
nHe frowned as he looked at the red-haired woman who was still in disbelief. “Think about it carefully. Was I complimenting you? You’re also a genius who could make a cup of tea look like that.”
n“If I complimented you, you would really have the cheek to flatter yourself.”
nThis time, Audrey actually pitied the red-haired woman.
nShadowless Ghost Hand fell to his knees with a plop. “Sir, your subordinate…”
nHe was utterly embarrassed. He had never thought that someone would dare to lie in front of him.
nThe red-haired woman paused, tears flowing freely. “Sir Lance, you cannot believe them! I’m loyal to you and have done nothing wrong. Didn’t I work hard?”
nLance suppressed his impatience and took a deep breath. “Then tell me, what have you done in Spark City all these years? What did this maid do to provoke you and make you beat her up like this?
n“Miss Audrey is a distinguished guest that I personally invited. If I hadn’t appeared, would miss Audrey have been thrown out of the mansion by you?
n“Leaving you in Spark City was an accident. Take the punishment.”
nLance sighed, looked at Audrey, and said, “Miss Audrey, I’m really sorry. I was clearly inviting you to have a meal in Spark City, but it turned out like this.”
nThe red-haired woman saw Lance’s gentle attitude towards Audrey and had a look of disbelief. “Sir, you actually…”
nShadowless Ghost Hand could not take it anymore. “Men, chase her out of the city lord’s mansion and leave her to fend for herself!”
n“No, no, sir… you can’t treat me like this, you can’t!”
nThe red-haired woman did not even understand who this Audrey was before she was thrown out by a battle technique.
nAudrey shook her head to show that she did not mind. “It’s alright, my lord. However, I have a presumptuous request.”
n“Speak.”
n“I want to bring this maid back.”
nLance raised his eyebrows and looked at the little maid behind Audrey.
nThe little maid’s face was swollen on both sides, but her eyes were clear.
nHer body was so thin, and she looked delicate and pitiful as she stood behind Audrey.
nShe was quite good at choosing people.
nLance nodded generously. “Of course, it’s possible. It’s fate that Audrey got to know this maid.”
nAfter they had a peaceful meal, Audrey left the main city of Spark City under the excuse that she wanted to bring the maid for treatment.
nLance had the intention of keeping Audrey here, but he was the one who had brought her here today and made her suffer in his territory. He did not say anything to stop her.
n“My lord… where’s miss Audrey?” Shadowless Ghost Hand looked at his master’s melancholic figure and gritted his teeth. “What happened today was all my fault. If it wasn’t for my lack of discipline…”
nLance seemed to be deep in thought as he gently waved his hand. “It’s fine. I believe that Audrey and I will meet again very soon.”
n…
nIn the beast carriage.
n“What’s your name?”
n“Miss Audrey, my name is Casey.”
n“Alright, then follow me back to my house to work. The salary won’t be bad, as long as you’re loyal to me.”
nCasey nodded happily as she listened to Audrey’s introduction of the current situation at home.
n“Miss Audrey, where are we going next?” Casey asked curiously.
nAudrey rubbed the corners of her eyes. “I’m going to private property of mine. It’s not convenient for you to follow me there, so you can go home first. After explaining the situation to my father, my maid will arrange it for you.”
nCasey was taken aback. “Miss Audrey, are you not planning to bring me along?”
nWas she not trustworthy enough for Audrey to trust her?
nThat is true…
nAudrey saw through Casey’s self-doubt. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that for various reasons, I want to give my father a small surprise. I don’t want to tell anyone about this surprise for the time being.”
nCasey instantly smiled like a flower.
nAudrey sighed. She knew that she had probably attracted Lance’s attention.
nHowever, she already had a new target.
nSince she could not beat him, she could hide.
nAs the city lord of Spark City, Lance would not really extend his hand to the outside of the city. There were still some secrets in the Davis family that had not been truly dug out. Audrey was already tired of living in Spark City.
nIt would be better to venture outside Spark City.
