Chapter 131 Reporting to the Authorities

Prudence, visibly upset, said, “Enough. Be quiet.”,

She stood up and ordered, “Send for Geoffrey.”

Geoffrey, who had not heard of the events of the night, had been a bit irritated earlier during dinner. He retreated to the study and read for a while to calm down. Reading had been Prunella’s suggestion, a method she taught him to manage his temper.

Normally, Geoffrey, being a martial artist, would have exercised his strength or gone for a walk to blow off steam. But since Prunella’s passing, he had followed her advice.

When the maid arrived, he had already regained his composure.

“Geoffrey, Prudence asks for you,” the maid said.

Thinking Prudence was likely going to speak to him gently about the earlier dinner incident, he replied, “Has she not rested yet? I’ll head over right away.”

“Something has happened. Prudence would like to discuss it with you,” the maid replied.

“Something happened? What is it?” Geoffrey paused for a moment, his first thought going to Isolde, “Is it Isolde causing trouble again?”

“I’m not sure yet. Just go to her first,” the maid replied.

If Clark managed to escape, who else could have saved him besides Lady Isolde?

That was why the maid left her words open–ended.

Geoffrey immediately donned his outer robe and headed to Blesertin with Harlan.

The house was brightly lit when they arrived.

Vance, who had been quiet up until now, no longer dared to maintain his haughty attitude, especially with his son still in the authorities‘ hands.
