James waited until the angry Tony left with the severely injured Harold.
Then, he glanced at Bolot.
“Follow me!”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the gymnasium.
Amber raised his brows, but he returned to his initially slightly languid self.
Soon, he followed James.
The other Lawrence family’s seniors, such as Keith, hesitated before following them.
After all, even a foolish person could tell James’ attitude toward Amber differed from what they expected.
If James wanted to connect with the Yates family through marriage, he would take advantage of the situation to get rid of Bolot.
Moreover, James personally protected Bolot.
His attitude baffled the Lawrence family’s seniors.
As the seniors were suspicious, they followed him.
In an instant, the gymnasium was only left with the spectators and the rest of the Lawrence family members.
After a brief silence, the Lawrence family members started discussing among themselves, and everyone was stunned.
“If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would’ve never believed the scene just now!”
“Harold was as insignificant as dust in front of Morine!”
“Isn’t that right!”
“No wonder Old Master Lawrence wanted Morine to marry Lady Jessica.
It turns out he’s competent!”
“However, isn’t it odd? I heard that Morine was a useless person, and he was not skillful?”
“I heard that before too.”
“If he’s that amazing, why is he marrying into the Lawrence family instead?”
“Shh! Is this a matter for you to discuss? Didn’t you see Chief James’s attitude just now! I bet it isn’t as simple as we thought.”
“Are you implying that Chief James has another candidate for the Dark Moon Sect…”
“Shut up! Are you trying to kill us? Is this a matter that we can simply discuss?”
“Humph! No matter what, I’m sure that certain people will be anxious after what happened today.
I bet that it’ll only be more interesting after this.”
The group of Lawrence family members huddled together and whispered among themselves.
No one noticed that Lucas and Fabian left the crowd with complicated expressions on their faces.
Then, they walked in the direction where James and Amber went.
At that moment, in a square room in the Lawrence Manor, James was seated at the main seat, whereas Amber was standing in front of him.
There was no one else in the room beside them.
The door and windows were tightly shut, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
James held a scroll painting, glancing at Amber and the scroll from time to time.
In his eyes, there was a hint of amusement.
Amber was standing in front of James, not saying anything and appearing neither arrogant nor humble.
After some time, there was an imperceptible hint of appreciation in the depths of James’ eyes.
Finally, he said, “Morine, it must‘ve been a long and tiring journey.
Thank you…”
Then, Amber answered, “It’s not tiring.
With Lucas and Fabian’s help, I’ve gained a lot during our journey here.”
“Oh?” James nodded.
”If that’s so, Lucas and Fabian must’ve played a significant role in training you.”
After saying that, he shook the scroll painting in his hands.
