Master Chou admitted it, but at the same time, he was confused. How did Tom see through him?
Indeed, he had been working for Tom's mother, Luna since his freshman year. Nonetheless, he was well hidden and no one in the Howards found out about his identity, including the deceased Anderson.
Now Tom found out about it. He thought that he didn't let the cat out of the bag.
However, Tom sighed deeply and said, "Chou, it really surprises me that you works for my mother. It seems that my mother's purpose in marrying into the Howards is not pure from the beginning."
Seeing Tom's expression, Master Chou suddenly understood everything. Tom did not find any evidence but just suspicious that he worked for Anna. If he refused to admit it, the Second Young Master would not think that he worked for Anna. It was just that he confessed it himself.
"Second Young Master, you're really good. I've been hiding for so long and even the old man hasn't found out who I am. How can you trick me into telling the truth so easily?" Master Chou smiled bitterly and admired Tom to the extreme.
Tom was not proud at all. Instead, he laughed at himself and said, "Chou, you really give me a huge surprise! According to this, you come back to me not because of my grandfather, but because of my mother's order, right?"
Master Chou did not say anything and acquiesced to Tom's words.
As if thinking of something, Tom continued to smile, "I'm very curious now. Since my mother is not dead, why hasn't she come to me over the past four years? Am I just a tool in her mind?"
"No!" Master Chou said seriously, "Miss is not such a person. She has always loved you very much and you are miss's most precious treasure."
"Hahaha..."
As if hearing a big joke, Tom suddenly burst into laughter, "The most precious treasure? Chou, do you think I, Tom, am a fool and easily deceived?"
Looking at Tom's laughter, Master Chou fell silent. After thinking for a while, he continued to say seriously, "Young master, it's not like this. Miss really loves you. There's no doubt about that."
Tom said, "You call her miss. It seems that you have been her servant for a long time."
Master Chou nodded and admitted.
"You said she loved me very much. Then can you explain why she hasn't come to me for so many years and watched me be a live-in son-in-law of the Scotts?" Tom said coldly, his face expressionless now.
"Miss is protecting you." Master Chou said in a low voice.
"Protect me?" Tom raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
Master Chou was silent and did not answer.
Tom said in a commanding tone, "Answer me!"
"Young master, I know you are very angry now, but please believe that miss is really protecting you. When the time is right, miss will come back to you." Master Chou said.
When Tom heard this, his heart was filled with anger, making him clench his fists. His breathing was obviously much faster. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to keep calm, not to vent his anger. After a while, he continued: "Then tell me why she married into the Howards and why she killed grandpa."
Master Chou lowered his head and did not answer for a long time.
