Thomas replied expressionlessly. “I just came here to take a look.”
Zeta and the woman came out of it when he was heading toward the wine cellar. The moment they saw
Thomas, Zeta bowed to him and greeted, “Elder Master Clifford, I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused
you.”
“Hmph, so you guys know that you’re causing me trouble too.” Thomas’ face was dark. “How could you
get the Goldmanns into this?”
That woman replied in a low voice, “You can’t blame us on that, Elder Master Clifford. It was the little girl
herself who came with us. We also thought that the people from the Goldmanns wouldn’t act rashly with
that girl in our hands.”
Thomas glanced at her and said, “You people from East Winston have seriously underestimated the
Goldmanns. Have you ever heard of the things they did in Stoslo?”
Zeta and the woman lowered their heads in silence. After all, they really had no idea how big of a trouble
they had caused.
Zeta opened her mouth and said, “We’ll send the girl away tomorrow.”
Thomas did not say anything.
At that moment, Daisie poked her head out through the window. “Hey, we’re very hungry. We haven’t
eaten anything yet.” Thomas looked toward the window. A little girl was standing at the window, and she
looked rather upset. Perhaps she had inherited all the good genes from her parents as she was
exceedingly goodlooking at her age, especially her eyes.
They reminded him of someone.
I’m sorry, Elder Master Clifford. We forgot to prepare dinner for them. I’ll go now,” Before Zeta could
finish her sentence, Elder Master Clifford spoke. “Wait.”
Zeta looked at him dumbfoundedly.
He said, “Have them prepare more food for them. They are kids, after all. No matter what Madam
Knowles asked you to do, you have to listen to me since you’re on my property now.”
Zeta did not say anything in return. After all, Madam Knowles had indeed told them to listen to Thomas
when they were here.
The bodyguard brought the scrumptious dinner into the room, stunning Daisie. Her mouth was wide open
as she said incredulously, “Wow, there is so much delicious food!”
Noilace frowned.
Why are they being so nice to us?’ When he saw Daisie was going to eat the food, he raised his hand to
stop her. “Don’t eat.” He took a glance at the door and added, ” They might have put drugs in the food.”
“Huh?” Daisie was stunned. She put the fork down, but she couldn’t resist the temptation of food and
swallowed her saliva, “Nolly, are they trying to poison us or kill us with hunger?”
Noilace did not know what to say as well.
When Thomas heard what Daisie said, he suddenly let out a boisterous laugh, causing both of them to
turn their heads and look at the old man that appeared from the door.
Blinking her eyes, Daisie asked, “Who are you?”
Thomas was very interested in Daisie. He looked at her and replied, “I’m the one who prepared the food.
Do you think I’m going to polson you two?”
Nollace said without any expression,” There is no way you guys would treat us so nicely.”
Thomas spun his head to glance at Nollace. He did not have a good impression of the Knowles, so he
did not like him either. However, he did not know why, but he felt attached to the little girl when he first
saw her.
“If it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t care even if you died from starvation.”
Daisie cocked her head. “Because of me? Why?”
Thomas chuckled, “Because I like you.”
“I don’t like you. I have my own grandpa, and I can’t have another grandpa anymore,” Daisie said
truthfully.
She thought Thomas would get angry at her, but surprisingly, he laughed even louder. “You have a lot of
guts. As expected of a
descendant from the Goldmanns.”
Daisie blinked her eyes and asked in surprise, “You know who I am? So does this mean that you know
my dad too?”
