Chapter 96 Force Claire To Lick Her Shoes

“I’ve been married to you for years, and I still didn’t know.”

Robert glanced at Alice and Clarissa before leaning back to loftily stretch out on his seat. “I was born and raised in Ascalon, a distant relative of the Summers. I came all the way here because Miss Winona ran away from her marriage. I was sent to find her.”

Alice had heard of the Summers before. They owned the nation’s largest gemstone empire, so they were very rich.

While they were not one of the most powerful families in Ascalon, they were considered one of the top ten. Either way, they were much more powerful than the Morgans.

“Distant relatives?” Alice’s eyes instantly lit up. “You’re part of the Summers?”

Robert cleared his throat and guiltily replied, “Kind of. That’s why we haven’t reached the end of the road yet.”

“That’s wonderful!” Alice smacked her thigh as joy was painted all over her face. She had forgotten all about Adam by now. “Let’s head to Ascalon tomorrow morning!”

“Wait.”

Robert interrupted her with a raised hand. “We can’t just go to Ascalon like this.”

“Why not?”

Robert glanced at Clarissa before slowly explaining, “I never found Winona Summers. If I go back… things might be bad.”

His words confused them. Alice impatiently barked out, “What should we do then? Just say it already! Don’t test our patience.”

“Ahem.” Robert cleared his throat once more. “I actually found Winona years ago.”

They anxiously stared at him.

His eyes darkened as he snapped out, “She was Madeline Summers!”

“What?”

They were shocked. They could not believe what they were hearing. Alice even felt like strangling Robert now.

Master Summers told him to look for Winona Summers, so why did he marry h instead of returning to Ascalon? Why cower away in Silverton?

“Robert, explain yourself!” Alice was furious.
