Chapter 232



I mulled over the contract, "Your dad's death might have been caused by my dad, and I need to dig deep to find the truth."

Ernest looked at me, "Do you know something?"

"And what about you? Why are you after Lord Clark? How did you come to suspect him?" I shot back at Ernest.

He stood up, walking to the window, his posture as if he could hold up the sky should it fall.

Seeing him like this, I put down my coffee mug and joined him, "Ernest, I get that you know something too. This is dangerous, and you don't want to drag me into it. But since it involves my parents, I can't just sit back."

I gazed out at the moonlight, "I'm not that naive. I can take care of myself. Besides, I have you by my side, right?"

Ernest glanced at me, and after a moment, said, "You're as stubborn as you were when we were kids."

Hearing that made me laugh, turning to face him, "Ernest, you knew about my identity all along, didn't you? So, you approached me to investigate your father's death, right?"

Ernest frowned, "Is that what you think?"

"Yes."

Ernest shifted uncomfortably, then with a helpless look, said, "Is my charm really that worthless?"
