Chapter 500

All of a sudden, there seemed to be some sort of pressure bearing down on everyone, and the scene became deathly silent. Everyone thought that the atmosphere was a bit strange as Jeremy seemed to be staring at Lucas’s female secretary with a cold and sharp gaze.

Missus Benet also noticed that something was amiss with Jeremy’s gaze, since there did not seem to be a logical reason as to why Jeremy would stare so intently at Lucas’s secretary.

Missus Benet frowned. “What is it?”

The male servant shook his head. “He didn’t say what it was. He merely told me that it was urgent and asked me to inform you that he wants to see you as soon as possible!”
