Maria raised her eyebrows slightly and gazed at the door with her strikingly beautiful eyes.

After a moment, she noticed Larry and Keagan walking in, supporting an elderly man between them.

To her surprise, the old man was the same one who had traveled with Maria in Northern Europe.

As soon as he saw Maria, the old man took a step forward, struggling to contain his excitement.

He knelt down before her with a trembling body and said respectfully, “Miss, this old slave is sorry for being late.

Please punish me!”

Maria smiled gently and raised her hand, signaling for him to rise.

She spoke softly, “There’s no need to punish yourself.

You’re not too late.”

The old man stood up slowly.

Michelle was taken aback.

The elderly man standing before them appeared to be about the same age as her master, estimated to be around ninety years old.

Yet, despite his age and frailty, he still knelt before Maria.

Michelle couldn’t help but wonder how much respect he held for her in his heart.

This left her even more puzzled about Maria’s background.

However, before she could voice her thoughts, Larry interrupted, “You can leave now.”

Quickly nodding in agreement, Michelle spoke respectfully, “Sir, Ms.

Clarke, I will take my leave now.”

Hastily, she exited the courtyard, ensuring that she closed the door behind her.
