Chapter 998

Chapter 998

Rick barely glanced at Sophie before quickly looking away, saying, "Anyway, this has nothing to do with Ms. Elodie."

"Come on, Rick, stop covering for Mr. Gordon. If he didn't love Ms. Elodie to bits, why would he treasure the medicine she sent so much? Mr. Gordon couldn't even bring himself to take it just now!"

Seeing William getting more and more out of hand, Rick stepped forward and pulled him aside, snapping, "What nonsense are you spouting in front of Mrs. Costello? If you ruin our master's reputation, you're dead meat!"

William was scared into silence by Rick's threat.

This is bad.

He must have let slip Mr. Gordon's secret!

Looks like he needs to keep his mouth shut from now on.

Sophie watched as Rick took William away, feeling even more confused.

In the evening, Sophie stood outside Gordon's bedroom door, peering inside for a long while, unsure whether to go in. Suddenly, a loud 'bang' came from inside.

Sophie immediately pushed open the door to find Gordon on the floor, his usually pale face now a rare sight of disarray.
