“What did you say?!” Fleur erupted in anger at that moment.
Having lived for four hundred years, she had ignored almost everything in the last three hundred years. In these three hundred years, he was the first person to dare to say that he would chop off her head.
When Zekeiah, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Fleur's angry shout, he was instantly frightened out of his wits, and he quickly bowed on the other end as he apologized, saying, “British Lord, forgive me. I was only repeating his words and did not intend any disrespect…”
Although Fleur knew that Zekeiah was just repeating the words to her, she still felt a raging fury in her heart.
Zekeiah was afraid that Fleur's anger would not subside, so he quickly added, “British Lord, I am willing to share your worries and personally go to Aurous Hill on your behalf. At that time, I will do my best to find out who that mysterious person is!”
Fleur said coldly, “If you go now, you will be walking right into a trap.”
Zekeiah hurriedly said, “British Lord, Adrienne is dead. The chances of the Ackers suspecting me again are not great. Moreover, even if they do suspect me, so what? Without concrete evidence, I don't believe they can kill me. After all, I am the son-in-law of the Ackers and Lulu’s husband. Keith has always thought highly of me…”
Fleur said disdainfully, “The Acker family is much more cunning than you imagine. After Adrienne was exposed, the Ackers will never trust any outsiders again. Even if you are Lulu’s husband, so what? As long as they suspect you, they will never let you go easily.”
Zekeiah couldn't help but say, “But British Lord, the current situation is too passive for us. We won’t have peace until we find out the identity of the mysterious expert who is backing the Ackers up.”
Fleur snorted coldly, “Even Mr. Chardon couldn't deal with that mysterious expert. It's even less likely that you'll find any clues. Maybe after he captures you, he'll torture you for information and finally get more secrets from your mouth.”
After hesitating for a moment, Zekeiah said, “British Lord, to be honest with you, I also feel a bit trapped now. With such a big incident happening to the Ackers, if I don't go to Aurous Hill, the Ackers will definitely suspect me. What should I do in this situation?”
