The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 5678

Just as the words rang through the air, Dax clapped a hand onto Ambrose's shoulder and yanked him towards himself as he said loudly, "No, no! Ambrose, listen. Uncle Dax's on your side. That blow was completely justified."

As he spoke, Dax said to Darryl, "This little girl was acting out of line! Why are you blaming Ambrose instead?"

Darryl hung his head helplessly at Dax's words. "Dax, she's the high lady of the Lange household. That wasn't appropriate for Ambrose to do such a thing."

As he spoke, Debra got to her feet slowly as she said, "She's alright. She just fell unconscious. She'll be alright after she gets some rest."

Whew!

Darryl heaved a sigh of relief at the words. Thank goodness Ambrose's blow had not been fatal, or he would surely have a difficult time explaining himself to the Lange household.

At the thought, Darryl looked at Chester. "What do you think we should do next, Brother Chester?"

Chester pondered briefly before speaking

"There truly seems to be something terribly wrong about how Zenyi supposedly died, but the Lange family can't seem to see it.

"How about this? We'll let the girl rest overnight in the Begonia Residence, and return to the Lange household with her tomorrow to investigate."

As he spoke, Chester's brows were furrowed and his tone was nothing but helpless. Truthfully, he was completely drained from Master Magaera's attack earlier, so he had no energy to care about anything else.

However, Lange family and the Wudang Sect were pretty well-known in the wandering world, and nothing good would come out of a fight breaking out between both parties.

Thus, upon some thinking, Chester decided that he would still go to the Langes with Darryl and try his best to prevent such a tragedy.

Darryl nodded at last upon hearing the words. "Alright! We'll do just that."

As he spoke, Darryl called upon two female pupils to have them bring Veron to rest in a guest chamber. Following that, he called upon a meeting in the main hall to discuss Zenyi's real cause of death.

…

Just then, a figure stood silently on top of a cliff not too far from the Begonia Residence, silently observing everything that was going on.

He was clad in plain black clothes, and he looked rather ordinary aside in contrast to the strong aura he was radiating.

It was Antigonus.

Antigonus got to his feet slowly, swishing through the air and reaching the back door of the Begonia Residence in no time.

There were less people guarding the back door and Antigonus was able to slip into the back chambers with ease.

…

Ambrose sat in one of the chambers in the garden with an expression full of worry and distress.

He was still annoyed at what had happened earlier. Veron Lange was far too much, coming to ask for help with such a nasty attitude.

More infuriatingly, she had even dared to attack Ambrose in front of his father and all those people.

Next to him, Heather calmly brewed a pot of tea.

Heather chuckled at the sight of Ambrose's sour expression.

"Alright, come on now. You're no stranger to the likes of Veron's temper, are you? Why the need to stoop to her level? Come on, have some tea and calm down a little."
