The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 119 Are You Really Leaving?

Back in his room, Geoffrey ordered Zac Saunders to fetch Harlan.

“Geoffrey requests your presence, Zac said, knowing Harlan’s temper, he quickly explained the situation.

Rubbing his eyes, Harlan asked groggily, “At this hour? What’s going on?”

“I’m not sure. After returning from Isolde’s room, I was told to fetch you,” Zac replied.

Harlan’s eyes widened as he sprang up from bed. “He went to Isolde’s room?” he asked, startled.

“Yes, after coming back from Blesertin, he went straight to her room,” Zac said.

Harlan’s face darkened, and he grabbed Zac, saying, “Quick, help me find my shoes.”

As he hurriedly dressed, he muttered, “That’s it, they must’ve argued again. That father and daughter are like dogs fighting each other.”

To Harlan, whenever Geoffrey went to the Pearl Tower, there was bound to be a fight. He rushed out, barely putting on his clothes.

Upon entering, he saw Geoffrey sitting calmly in a chair, sipping coffee. There was no trace of the anger he had expected.

“Why are you running?” Geoffrey asked, setting down his cup, surprised.

Harlan caught his breath and said, Just needed to run a bit, to shake off the alcohol”

“You’re not young anymore, you should drink less,” Geoffrey said, unusually caring.

Harlan chuckled. “Alright, Zac said you wanted to see me. What’s going on?”

Geoffrey gestured for him to close the door, then said, “Sit down.”

Harlan took a seat, watching Geoffrey with curiosity.

Geoffrey suddenly turned serious. “Do you remember anything about Prunella’s pregnancy?”

Harlan was taken aback. “I remember the big things.”

Geoffrey’s voice lowered. “Do you think her death was suspicious?”

Harlan’s eyes widened. He had rarely heard Geoffrey speak of Prunella’s death. “Why bring it up now?” he wondered.
