Chapter 700 Do You Believe His Nonsense

After taking a step forward, Zeke narrowed his eyes and stared at Philip. “What a coincidence, Mr. Hoffman. Why are you here at Inferno Hall's den in the middle of the night? Could it be that you're the one who caused this unsightly situation we're looking at?”

Before Philip could explain himself, a few bodyguards dressed in black suits barged into the room. “The person has been rescued, Mr. Hoffman.”

The person has been rescued?

Bailey and Artemis exchanged a glance before looking toward the flight of stairs in unison.

Their gazes fell on one of the black-clothed bodyguards. Actually—to be more precise—they were looking at Steven, who was being carried on the bodyguard's shoulder.

Upon noticing that scene, Zeke shot Philip a stern glare as he asked in a deep voice, “Care to explain why my father is with your subordinate, Mr. Hoffman? Are you the one who is colluding with Sofie?”

“No, no, no.” Philip waved his hands and responded frantically, “I just arrived here two days ago. There's no way I can get involved in the disputes between Hallsbay's forces. Please don't accuse me, Mr. Shurmer. I'm here to rescue people as well. See? I saved your father, didn't I?”

A mocking smile manifested on Zeke's face. He raised his brows slightly and asked, “Oh? Is that so? You're here to save my father, huh? In my opinion, I think you're just exposing yourself.”

Seeing that, Bailey walked forward from Zeke's back and pulled his arm silently before looking at Philip opposite her. “Zeke, since Mr. Hoffman told us he's here to save Father, let's hear him out. If he has a reasonable explanation, won't you be falsely accusing him of exposing himself?”

Zeke scoffed coldly and turned his head away slightly.

With a polite smile, Bailey told Philip, “Mr. Hoffman, since I'm Julie's mentor, I believe you and I are considered old acquaintances with the friendship we have. Since we're old friends, I won't beat around the bush with you. Let's get straight to the point. How did you find out that my father is at Inferno Hall?”

Hoffman family has stationed many spies here. They are the ones who found out that Old Mr. Shurmer was imprisoned at Inferno

added, “I'm sure you all know that as soon as I arrived at Hallsbay a few days ago, I've been wanting to invite Mr. Shurmer out and apologize to him in person. However, he's been avoiding me. So, I've been wondering if it's because of Juliana's miscarriage that led Mr. Shurmer to resent the Hoffman family, thinking that I failed to protect her. Since the tragedy has already happened, all I
