“This is Heaven’s retribution against you!”

Every word that Alton spoke struck at Terence’s vulnerability. His main objective was to force Terence to leave.

However, Terence did not give in. Instead, he stood outside the door with a somber expression, refusing to budge.

Suddenly, Alfred’s ears perked up before he vanished into the darkness of the night.

In the next moment, he appeared in front of the young girl, who had been hiding behind the stone, secretly eavesdropping on the conversation.

“Ah!”

Marilyn shrieked in surprise as she fell on her backside due to his sudden appearance.

“Didn’t Old Mr. Quillen tell you to wait in the car? What are you doing here?”

Alfred narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized her, emitting a menacing aura.

“I-I…” Marilyn was terrified, shuffling backward on her buttocks. Her mind was racing as she knew that Alfred was truly capable of harming her!

“Alfred, let her go,” Terence spoke just in time, forcing Alfred to stop.

Meanwhile, Marilyn felt as if she had narrowly escaped a disaster as she quickly scurried away.

Her heart was pounding with a mix of fear and excitement!

She hadn’t intended to eavesdrop on any secrets. Frankly, she didn’t even know that these upper-class elites would consider such casual conversation a secret. Even though she had no clue what had happened, she couldn’t help but wonder why they were being so secretive. It’s not like whatever they’re saying is extremely serious, right?

She just wanted to understand Terence better, even if it meant putting her life in danger!

“Alton, since I’ve returned, at least invite me in for tea!” Terence pleaded again.

When Alton saw that Terence refused to leave, he sighed and opened the iron gate to let him in.

There were two large dogs in the yard.

However, the two beasts didn’t bark when they saw Terence and Alfred. It was as if they recognized them.

Alton sighed as they entered the building, saying wearily, “Terence, why have you returned? Don’t you know that every time you do, it brings about bloodshed and chaos?”
