Chapter 374 Marigold Had an Accident


Neil was in a mad rush to wrap up his work, grab the gift, and hightail it to Knight Manor. When he finally got there, the place was buzzing, but no sign of Alaric. Not knowing a soul and never having met Marigold, Neil had no choice but to hit up Alaric.

Neil jumped right in, "Alaric, I'm at Knight Manor. Where the heck are you? Can't see you anywhere!"
