Carson gulped. Feeling like he had entered a lion’s den, he answered in a trembling voice, "To be honest, Ms. Severe, regarding the misfortune that befell the Ares family three years ago, you were supposed to be o n the death list because you're their daughter-in-law. But Young Master is too deeply in love with you that h e would rather sacrifice his pinkie than to hurt you.
"As for your children, Young Master planned to break off three of his fingers to protect them at first, but thankfully you told him the truth in the end. Since the Yorks' blood is flowing in the veins of the young masters and young lady, they were automatically removed from the death list.
"When Young Master left, he did not take any captives home with him."
Angeline shuddered when she heard what he said.
"In that case, is there a guy named Monster in the Yorks' stronghold?" Angeline asked again.
Carson murmured, "Monster." He then shook his head vigorously. "There’s no such person in the Yorks' stronghold, Ms. Severe."
Tucked under her sleeves, Angeline's hands quivered." Can I believe you, Carson?"
Carson swore, "I will never have the guts to lie to you, Ms. Severe. Who knows, maybe you’ll become the Yorks' stronghold's madam one day. I will never go against you even if I have more than one gut."
Angeline’s heart sank into the abyss of darkness after obtaining a confirmation.
"Baby Robbie." With a cry, a teardrop rolled down her face.
Angeline stood up with trembling feet and waved at Carson, saying, "You can go now."
Carson retreated reverently.
As soon as he walked out of Refreshing Breeze Courtyard, Carson bolted to the library straight away.
In the sea of bamboo, the old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion was bending over while clutching his belly. He was moving with much difficulty.
"Grand Old Master Yorks." Carson hurried to Grand Old Master Yorks. "What happened?"
Grand Old Master Yorks cursed, "That b*stard gave me laxatives. I was at the latrine for so long that I almost couldn’t make it out alive."
