Chapter 977

Leroy furrowed his brows. This matter had nothing to do with him. He had recognized Penny's strange behavior, but it didn't matter what she had done. As long as Lisandra couldn't participate in the negotiations, the power to make decisions rested in his hands. However, there was one condition-Lisandra's life couldn't be harmed. After all, she was his niece. Arthur was gone. Even though Lisandra didn't share Leroy's stance on the war, he simply couldn't take her life.

He found it odd that Penny, who had always been Lisandra's trusted confidant, would betray her. Was Penny in favor of the war? She had opposed it previously. And clearly, she didn't want Lisandra to die, nor was she willing to give up just like that. Penny couldn't be acting alone-someone must be pulling the strings behind her betrayal.

Who was it? Edmund?

Questions swirled in Leroy's mind, but he had no answers.

His suspicions about Penny stemmed from his ties to Harvey, but the others wouldn't have noticed anything, as she had always been one of Lisandra's most loyal subordinates.
