After a while, Ludwig walked out from the room inside, accompanied by the trembling Lucy behind her.
Then, she spoke through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry about it, Aunt Hayley.
I’ll let him enjoy some pain tomorrow!”
After she said that, Ludwig tightened her grip, and the booklet titled Romantic Son-In-Law and His Beautiful Wife instantly turned to pieces.
Then, it flew out like butterflies.
When she was in the inner room just now, Ludwig flipped through the booklet while listening to Hayley and Rebbeca’s conversation.
Ludwig did not know why, but as Lucy put back the money pouch where Rebbeca kept it, Ludwig unexplainably kept the booklet.
Maybe it was the book’s name, or perhaps it was for other reasons.
So, Ludwig took it to heart.
Later, when she flipped the book, she instantly knew what the content was, which immediately made her cheeks flushed hot uncontrollably.
Hence, Ludwig was angry at Jamie, who was the fake Fierce Drago, for making her feel that way.
“He reads such an intolerably vulgar book.
Moreover, the story was about a son-in-law who married into a family, which made the family’s eldest daughter fall for him even though she hated him at first! Besides, she seemed to devote herself to him too! How can there be such a thing in real life! I’ll never let you go easily tomorrow?!”
Ludwig gnashed her teeth in anger.
Seeing that, Lucy took two steps to the side as she was frightened.
Then, she secretly lamented, “Lady Ludwig is so terrifying!”
Suddenly, Lucy’s heart was full of sympathy and pity for Jamie, who was going to come again tomorrow.

Rebbeca was already a distance away from the St.
Jade Chamber.
In the night, St.
Jade Chamber’s signboard was covered by the dark veil, and from afar, the writing on it could not be seen clearly.
Not knowing why Rebbeca felt a chill out of the blue, and he could not help but sneeze a few times.
“Who’s cursing me?” Rebbeca complained.
However, he suddenly saw a few shadows in the alley not far behind him from the corner of his eyes.
“Hmm?” Rebbeca squinted.
Then, he pondered for a moment and lowered his head as he kept walking forward.
Just as he started walking, four silhouettes appeared from the alley just now.
The few men looked at each other and started whispering.
“Are you sure it’s him?”
“That’s him!”
“I was watching by the side when Jonah was killed.”
“Alright.
Everyone, be careful.
This guy’s realm is higher than Jonah’s.”
Later, the four silhouettes borrowed the darkness and the surrounding buildings to sneak behind Rebbeca and follow him.
Rebbeca appeared as if he did not know about it, and he continued to walk forward.
Unknowingly, the four people followed him for about an hour in the old town.
At that time, the four men saw Rebbeca stopped under a big tree, looked around, and started digging around the roots.
After a while, Rebbeca stood straight and showed a happy expression.
He was even holding a small pouch.
When Rebbeca poured out the contents of the bag, the four men were stunned, and they felt their breathing stopped.
That was a bag of fedulings, and there were more than hundreds of them! In that old town, even one feduling coin could let someone risk their life.
Thus, hundreds of fedulings could make someone do something unimaginable.
In an instant, the four men’s eyes turned bloodshot, and their gaze was filled with greed and ruthlessness.
As for Jamie, he still acted as if no one followed him.
