620.Chapter 620

"Really? Anthony, you're so generous! Your father must be proud of you,"

Rafe exclaimed, his face lighting up with exaggerated excitement, as if genuinely moved by Anthony's promises.

But Anthony couldn't help but feel there was a trace of mockery hidden in his words.

He paused briefly, then continued trying to win Rafe over. "Of course it's true. As you said, I'm the fourth son of the Duke's estate. My word is as good as gold. You can rest assured that once I'm up there, lon't go back on my promises."

"Alright, since you say so, Anthony, I guess I can relax. All I need to do is pull you up, right?"

"That's right, just pull me up," Anthony confirmed, keeping his tone steady.

Rafe tilted his head, his face the picture of innocence. "Oh, I did promise you. But I also promised your sister. She told me to kill you. So, how about this? You die first, and then I'll pull you up. Fair deal, right?"

no, Anthony, you've got it all wrong. I really do plan to pull you up. It's just... You never said if I should pull you up alive or dead. Since I promised your sister first, I'll have to wait until you're dead before I can pull you up. Makes sense,
