Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 373

After reading the text conversation between Harold and Quintus, Marilyn's disbelief was finally assuaged, and she went to look for Evelyn.

The next day, Harold decided to sleep in.

Over at Dellmoor, Isabella was currently reading news of Harold wreaking havoc at the Jackson family's wedding. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the Jackson family and the Schmidt family had canceled the arranged marriage.

The man who should have belonged to her was currently with her best friend.

However, this was due to her own machinations. Even if she felt horrible about it, she had no choice but to endure it.

Despite that, the incident made Isabella feel irritable, and she was unable to focus on her work.

When noon rolled around, and Isabella was still unable to focus, she decided to abandon the work on hand for the time being and take a walk to clear her head instead.

Just as she exited the residential area, she found Philip waiting for her downstairs.

“Ms. Turner, long time no see!”

When Philip spotted Isabella, he did not address the latter as “Mrs. Campbell” but “Ms. Turner” instead.

“Mr. Larson, were you waiting for me?” Puzzled, Isabella stared at Philip.

“Yes. I came here to see you, Ms. Turner. I would like for you to persuade Mr. Campbell to return home to see his grandfather. Old Mr. Campbell misses him dreadfully.”

Philip got straight to the point and immediately told Isabella the reason he came to see her.

“Persuade Harold to return home and see his grandfather?”

Isabella grew even more baffled upon hearing that.

Wasn't Philip supposed to be the richest man in Dellmoor? Why is he talking about Old Mr. Campbell and Harold?

“Let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the most prestigious family in northern Dellmoor. Your ex-husband, Harold Campbell, is the third son of the Campbell family. Due to some family circumstances, Mr. Campbell came to Dellmoor, and the family has been searching for him the entire time. However, he expresses no interest in family affairs and refuses to return home and see his grandfather.” Philip hurriedly tried to explain the situation when he saw Isabella's doubtful expression.

So, Harold was actually an exiled son of a prestigious family. No wonder he changed so much in such a short period of time!

After hearing Philip's explanation, realization dawned on Isabella. She had misunderstood Harold the entire time.

But why did he lie to me about being the God of War when he comes from a well-do family? Although being the son of a wealthy family isn't as prestigious as being the God of War, it isn't shabby at all! Why did he do such a thing? Was it because I had once told him how I admired the God of War?

“That fool!” Isabella muttered as she smacked her own forehead in exasperation.

“Ms. Turner, are you all right?”

Isabella had spaced out after listening to his words. Not long after that, she suddenly smacked her own forehead. Her actions bewildered Philip considerably.

“It's nothing. It's just that Harold and I no longer have anything to do with each other. I don't think I will be able to help you,” Isabella muttered in embarrassment after she realized she had behaved foolishly in front of the other man.

“Oh, no, Ms. Turner. Although the two of you are divorced, Mr. Campbell clearly cares about you still. Only you can persuade him to return.”

Philip began to panic when Isabella rejected his request.

Brian Campbell's health was declining, and the former had given Philip an order he absolutely had to fulfill. He was tasked with bringing Harold home as soon as possible.

“Uh... He's currently not in Dellmoor. I could try when he returns. However, I make no promises.” When Isabella saw how distressed Phillip was, she could only reluctantly agree to it.

“Then, I shall leave it to you, Ms. Turner. As long as you succeed in persuading Mr. Campbell to return, the Campbell family will be deeply grateful to you and your family.” Philip breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Isabella's words.

After chatting for several more minutes, Philip finally departed the residential area feeling satisfied.

Meanwhile, Harold was soundly sleeping when all this took place.

Somewhere on the far side of the mountain near the Schmidt family's mansion, three men lurked as they stealthily observed the estate with binoculars.
