Casimir and Rayler watched as the two continued to dig up old grudges, arguing until their faces turned red and their voices grew hoarse. Both were taken aback.

With Jeremiah tricked into going to Musmcynia and his fate still uncertain, wasn’t the situation chaotic enough already? Did these two have to add fuel to the fire?

After the heated argument, Layla, seething with anger, barked out an order, “Talon, Blade, tie up Samuel and lock him in here with this woman!”

“Understood” The two bodyguards immediately pulled out their restraints and closed in on Samuel

“I’m from the Goodridge family. Do you dare to lay a hand on me?” Samuel demanded incredulously.

“Why wouldn’t I? From the moment Kaylee exposed that evidence, every last one of you from the Goodridge family was as good as dead to me!” Layla’s gaze was sharp as a blade, locked onto Samuel.

Irea flash, Casmir stepped forward, shielding Samuel as he pleaded. “Ms. Layla, please calm down. Lashing out at them now “won’t solve anything. What we should be doing is figuring out how to save Jeremiah. That’s the real priority. We have contacts

in East Aploth and Musmeynia. Maybe they can help.”

“Mi. Sutherland, this has nothing to do with you,” Layla warned icily. “I advise you not to meddle, or you’ll get burned.”

Layla sneered “Well, aren’t you going all out for your ex? But I heard your current fiancée is the real heiress, isn’t she? Aren’t you afraid of causing a scandal in the harem?”

Samuels expression turned grim as he shouted, “Then come at us! I’d love to see what an illegitimate, married daughter like

Rayler was speechless. Before, she’d simply thought Samuel was socially inept. But now? The man was an outright fool with questionable intelligence!

Layla was purving, furious, emotionally unstable–and yet he chose to provoke her? Was he asking for trouble?

Sure enough, Layla’s expression twisted in rage, her face turning a sickly shade of purple. Pointing at Samuel, she shrieked. “Take them down! And anyone who dares to interfere–take them down too! No need to hold back!”

Just as the atmosphere reached its breaking point, Casimir’s phone rang. He answered, listened for a moment, then responded: “Got it. Thanks for your help. Once you’re back in the country, dinner’s on me.”

Casumo didn’t drag it out.” “A friend in Toursh helped me establish contact with the Musineynian military. After some negotiation I managed to get a chance to a video call with Jeremiah The good news–your brothers still alive. You don’t need to worry too much for now The bad news if your father doesn’t step in and forcefully defend Jeremiah, General Mosley likely won’t let lam go cauly Father way we should talk to Jeremiah first”
