My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 911

He said, “Young Master, things in the vault are confidential. Except for the elders, nobody should be allowed to enter or explore. There are not only books and documents but also a lot of treasures that need to be taken out. You need manpower at that time.

“Although I don’t understand those books and sorts, I have strength. I can help carry items.

“Hence, I should also enter the vault. I must go. What do you think, Young Master?”

Finley glinted at Ernest, and his tone was quite sincere.

In fact, he was secretly reminding Ernest and showing his loyalty to him.

Finley didn’t continue asking Theodore for permission. Instead, he talked to Ernest directly. He actually recognized Ernest’s status in the name of the second elder.

He was in charge of the Turners’ armed forces. If Ernest needed him, his power would be a big help for Ernest.

Seeing that Finley directly talked to Ernest, Theodore was so annoyed. Anger surged in his heart. He was still alive, but it seemed Finley had already accepted Ernest as his master.

Theodore said, “We’ll just go in to read through the books instead of moving anything. Your strength is useless. You don’t need to go.”

He refused Finley again.

Finley was so furious. He wasn’t happy with Theodore’s hegemonic management initially, and now he was angry. While he wondered what he should do, Ernest said elegantly, “There's a statue of the Goddess of Mercy in the vault that I quite like. It’ll be part of the betrothal presents. Elder Finley, please help me carry it out.”

Upon hearing it, Finley was so excited, looking at Ernest joyfully.

It seemed Ernest was genuinely sensible.

Immediately, he said with a smile, “No problem, Young Master. All the treasures in thevault are pretty rare in this world. I can help you pick a few valuable ones out for the betrothal presents.”

Ernest smiled in silence.

Theodore’s face tightened. He almost cursed.

He hadn’t sorted out how many treasures were in there yet, but Finley already planned to give some of them out as gifts.

Finley behaved as if he were the master.

Looking at Theodore, Finley asked in confusion, “Master, don’t you agree?”

Theodore couldn’t find his tongue for a moment. His future granddaughter-in-law was in the hall. How could he disagree?

“Of course. That’s a good idea. Do carry out the valuable ones,” said Theodore with a wry smile.

Since it had been decided, he had to let Finley go into the vault, although he was so reluctant.

Theodore also knew that after this matter, Finley, who didn’t obey him fully, would be more unruly in the future.

Thinking of it, Theodore was so irritated.

In the crowd, Keenan asked the Eighth Elder, “Kevin, won’t you go with them?”

Elder Kevin was the youngest among them. He was in his thirties, looking mature and handsome. However, he seemed quite depressed. He shook his head. “No, I won’t. I can’t be of any help.”

If he insisted on going with them, he would humiliate himself.

He was the youngest with the least power and not close to Theodore. All through the years, other elders kept suppressing him. He was almost kicked out of the group.

Keenan looked at Kevin with a smile in silence.

Hence, the decision was made.

The elders who would enter the vault went to get prepared. They would gather at an appointed time.

They were dismissed.

Ernest looked at Florence and said, “I’ll go into the vault for a while and could be busy. Are you all right to stay outside alone?”

Florence had been to the vault. She was with Ernest for the past three days.
