Chapter 60

Gwendolyn had been independent since she was a child. She never told anyone who her parents were–people that even government officials had to show respect to in Moulmore.

Now, she even used her parents‘ influence to pressure Clayton.

Andrew glanced at the two girls hugging each other and understood. He was mentored by Professor Carey since he was an undergraduate student, so he knew these girls very well. In fact, Gwendolyn didn’t exaggerate. The Carey family treated Isabella like another daughter, but Isabella was sensible and kept a proper distance from the family.

Clayton looked at them tenderly. “Yes! I promise to treat Isabella well and make her happy for the rest of her life!”

This time, Victor was surprised. When Clayton was a child, he hated most when someone threatened and warned him. He thought Clayton would just turn and leave with a scowl when the girl spoke. Hence, Victor began to think about how they could make peace and stop their

relationship from souring.

Unexpectedly, Clayton accepted it and made a promise.

Isabella, too, didn’t expect Clayton to make this promise. She was a bit surprised but felt a little warm in her heart.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was satisfied. After all, she would always check up on Isabella. “If this guy dared to treat Isabella badly, I wouldn’t let him gol‘ she thought.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, Isabella realized something and didn’t open the door.

“Andrew, you’ve all been punished so severely. Has Edmund ever been punished?” Isabella asked with a giggle.

Clayton looked at her dotingly. Then, he saw Edmund coming in from the corner of his eye and knew Isabella was deliberately setting them

“Of course, he was the busiest and was absent most often, so he was punished the most,” Andrew answered animatedly.

“Victor, what was his latest punishment? I wasn’t here, so I couldn’t watch the fun,” Andrew asked.

“So, Grandpa played golf, and Edmund was the caddy. After fetching golf balls all day, Grandpa complained Edmund lacked exercise.” After Victor finished speaking, the two brothers looked at each other with a mischievous smile.

“Should I suggest to Grandpa that you two fetch the balls for one day instead?” A voice sounded in the hallway.

Andrew stood up in fright and asked, “E–Edmund, why are you here?”

“Can’t I come?” Edmund smiled at his two younger brothers and nodded to Clayton.

Victor also stood up. Similarly surprised, he wondered, “Why is Edmund here? What’s he going to do?”

He quickly thought about whether he had not finished any tasks Edmund handed him.

When he found none, he reassured himself.

“Why are you nervous? If you’re that afraid of me, why did you badmouth me behind my back?” Edmund smiled gently at Victor and Andrew.

Both Isabella and Gwendolyn thought Edmund was gentle and refined.

Only Victor and Andrew knew Edmund could kill them silently with his gentle facade.
