Chapter 1883

Glen said, "A female spirit? And he has strange and unusual items with him? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Kemp bowed his head in guilt. "Mr. Holland Senior, Mr. Atkinson didn't want

anyone to know. I thought it was a private matter, perhaps something given to him by someone special. But after seeing his unusual behavior today, I realized I must inform you. This can't be hidden any longer."

Glen's expression grew grave. "A female spirit... talking to a female spirit? No wonder he's so indifferent to Geneva and the others. He's cold to every young woman in Vlario. It seems he's been ensnared by this spirit."

"What should we do now?" Kemp asked, his concern evident.

Frowning deeply, Glen replied, "I've heard whispers before, tales about the Atkinson residence being haunted, but I never gave it much weight. Now it seems we must address it. Fortunately, I have a friend arriving in Vlario soon.

"Once he's here, I'll have him visit the Atkinson residence. No matter how formidable this female spirit may be, we can't allow her to linger around Manfred. Until then, keep a close eye on him and report everything to me immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Holland Senior," Kemp replied.
