Isolde had finished taking care of the matters concerning her shops and decided to pay a visit to Dong at Southern Watch

“You’re just passing by today?” Doug raised an eyebrow, returning just a couple of days ago, and only now did she show up.

“I came on purpose,” Isolde said with a grin, stepping closer to him. She walked up behind Doug and began massaging his shoulders, her small hands working diligently. “How does that feel?”

Doug closed his eyes and lazily replied, “Not bad. At least you haven’t lost your touch.”

“How could I lose it?” Isolde added more pressure, her voice playful. “I came to bring you a special gift today.”

Doug snorted. “Keep the good stuff for your father. I hope he doesn’t get too cruel with you.”

“This gift is for you, Isolde whispered something in Doug’s ear.

Doug’s eyes snapped open. “Are you serious?”

“Of course,” Isolde said. “I’ve arranged everything for now. If you want to ask, feel free to. Whatever you find, the evidence will be there.”

Doug gave a small nod, appreciating her thoroughness. “You’ve become much more capable. But don’t rush it. Let him wander around a few more days. As for this, you shouldn’t be involved. These are things beyond your reach. If people catch wind of it, how many lives do you think you have?”

“Who would dare offend me?” Isolde chuckled. “Are you afraid of your own disciple?”

“You’re smart with those in your own house, so I’m not worried about you.” Doug’s gaze dropped, and a shadow of concern passed through his eyes.

“Don’t worry,” Isolde said, tightening her grip. “Everything that’s mine, I’ll take back. And if it’s not mine. I’l make it mine if I want.”

“Have you set your sights on William?” Doug asked, his voice probing.

“Not interested.” Isolde’s face turned dismissive.

Doug said nothing but smiled faintly. He seemed pleased with her answer.
