Chapter 129 Saved

Braden slowly stood up, glaring at Kameron in anger. “Are you blind? Didn’t you see it was me?”

Kameron, burning with fury, threw a punch. “I’m hitting you, you scoundrel! You call yourself a friend, but you try to steal my woman? Do you have no shame? How did such a disgraceful person come out of Duke’s

estate?”

Braden was caught off guard by the blow. Already furious, he knew full well his identity, yet Kameron had still dared to strike him. Enraged, he rushed over and grabbed Kameron, starting to fight back.

Jocelynn, who had been beaten badly, was crying uncontrollably, her sobs echoing through the room.

The onlookers outside heard the commotion, and seeing the pitiful girl crying, it became clear to them that this was a rivalry between Duke’s estate’s young master and Kameron over a woman. It was the perfect gossip, and because the aggressor was from Duke’s estate, no one was eager to leave. They watched intently as the two men fought on the floor.

Martha, hearing the ruckus, came over and peeked behind the crowd. She sneered and shook her head before slowly retreating.

From outside the window, a pair of eyes watched the scene quietly. Slowly, the eyes retreated.

Behind him, Hattie spoke faintly, “If I hadn’t come, you’d be the one being beaten inside, and you wouldn’t be going to the Parliamentary Library.”

Clark, his expression complex, murmured, “Thank you.”

Hattie couldn’t help but add, “They’ve never treated you well. If they suddenly start showing you favor, it’s just to lull you into a false sense of security. Their goal is to harm you. You should learn from this. Isolde won’t be able to save you every time.”

A cold feeling spread through Clark’s chest as he clenched his fist. “After this, if I still haven’t learned, I deserve whatever happens.”

“We should go,” Hattie said, seeing his determination.

As they left the tavern, they happened to see Martha walking out.

Her mood seemed unaffected, and when she saw Clark, she raised an eyebrow and flashed a strange smile. “Clark, drinking with a servant? Quite the oddity.”
