Chapter 970 Melvern's Plan

I chuckled and said to Grayson, "Looks like you've settled in well. Your attitude and the way you handle people make it seem like they're your family. Did you forget you're just an outsider here?" Grayson and Carol both blushed at my comment, displaying an unexpected level of understanding between them.

But Grayson quickly covered it up. "I wouldn't dare treat your people as my own. Haha, please forgive me, Ms. Carol. I just found out this coffee is freshly ground, and it's exquisite."

"Carol doesn't show this courtesy to just anyone, you know," I remarked, making up an excuse.

Carol immediately shot me a glance, reacting quickly. "It's because you're one of Ms. Chloe's most trusted men. How could I dare be disrespectful?"

Grayson quickly begged for mercy. "I won't dare boss your people around next time."

"I won't make coffee for you," I said disdainfully. I returned to the main topic, asking, "Do you think he can hold his ground?"

After taking a big sip of coffee and rubbing his eyes, Grayson pondered a moment before saying, "From my analysis, he planned to use Liora for protection. But when he arrived in the city, he realized Liora hac stirred up trouble with the wrong people."

"That makes sense. He's been working hard, despite his low-key appearance. He's been elusive," I said.

Grayson had some doubts. He looked at me and said, "What do you mean?"
