....
After Harringfort left the mansion, his face instantly turned sour. Eliza's decision seems so illogical. What kind of woman would not want to be happy in the marriage? He gritted his teeth as he thought of other ways to get rid of that woman.
He could not kill her as she was Lord Neeson's granddaughter. Killing her would only make that old cunning man rage. He could not ask to cancel the engagement either, as he was afraid to offend that older man.
This was the reason why he wanted her to cancel the engagement instead. "That woman…" he hissed. However, when he saw the message on the tablet that his right-hand man gave him, his expression instantly turned grave.
"Master… they wanted us to deal with Pierre and leave the place."
"Kill him?" He muttered to himself. They wanted him to leave Luxembourg since last night. However, Harringfort refused to do so. Instead, he asked to see Zhou Jingren and maybe even Lily. Harringfort wanted to talk to the two about Madam Luo. Especially after what happened last night.
Harringfort received a piece of news that Lily took Madam Luo and his grandson. However, they could do nothing as their people were not allowed in the Palace when the Duke received the request from Zhou Jingren. While they knew that Madam Luo and Claude were inside the palace, they could not just kill the two in front of everyone.
The organization still wanted to keep it lowkey, as the Duke was not aware of their existence. However, he found it hard to believe that the Grand Duke is not aware of this organization. How could that be? Most world leaders are aware and would even want to join them.
However, his thoughts immediately took him to the Duchess' family. Lord Neeson was the Duchess' father. Is it possible that the old man… deliberately did not inform his son-in-law about the organization? This is not something unique to Lord Neeson alone. In fact, most people in the council do not like to involve their personal lives with the organization.
Isn't this what happened with Lilian before? Despite having all the influence of the Organization, she still refused to use its resources to find her daughter. He sneered. Of course, that might be partly because Lilian knew that the organization was watching her every move.
He sighed. There had been a lot of suspicions that Lilian deliberately let her daughter run away for her to be saved under the clutches of the organization. Of course, the organization never found anything that would prove this fact. Slowly, the rumor got buried with the stuff that the organization does all day.
However, this did not last long. More than twenty years after Bec Facci disappeared, Lilian found her granddaughter. Because of this, another rumor sprouted. It was said that Lilian never wanted to rescue Lily. They said that she never wanted to train her granddaughter. Of course… it was called another rumor, as this was not proven.
"Shall we return to Austria?" Yi asked after a few seconds of silence.
"They said they wanted us to return after taking care of Pierre?" He asked. To be honest, he does not understand why he still needed to protect Lily from Pierre when Zhou Jingren is already there to protect her. It's not like she would acknowledge his help, anyway!
"Yes. They wanted to keep it clean… and silent. Also… they wanted you to talk to Zhou Jingren and tell him that he only had three months left. It seems that something happened and now they wanted to make him an official member as soon as possible."
Harringfort narrowed his eyes. Of course, they wanted him to become one of them as soon as possible. Those people knew that Madam Luo might be alive. If that's the case, the older woman would surely talk to Lily and Zhou Jingren.
Who knows what kind of information that Madam Luo had? If this continues, then… Harringfort was sure that those people would start to show up in Luxembourg to try to talk to Lily.
"Also…"Yi Hesitated for a few seconds. "Mr. Neeson is coming to Luxembourg."
"Why would he come?"
"He said he will visit his daughter and grandchildren."
Harringfort bit his lips as she attempted to stop himself from cursing that old man. Mr. Neeson coming in here is like an insult to his intelligence. Does this mean that they don't trust him enough to deal with Lily and Zhou Jingren?
"Then. I will stay!" He snapped. If those people thought that they can just…
"Master… I suggest that you follow what they want for now. Everything had been chaotic is Madam Lilian's death. With the council falling into arguments from time to time. Mr. Neeson coming in here… only means that he is going to talk to Miss Lily. That only shows how much they value her position. Just like her grandmother, Miss Lily might soon take over the seat even if she is not yet thirty."
Harringfort nodded. Since Lilian died last year, the council had been stagnant at most. This was because they refuse to decide on anything big without the sixth person that was supposed to mediate the council.
Those men in power are all greedy and selfish. They were all people who would not dare betray one another for their own gain. Meaning, Lilian's death brought them a lot of disagreements and arguments.
"I am not leaving!" He said.
"But— "
"If you want to leave… then leave!" Harringfort said. His clearance is not high enough to know why Lily really needed to replace her grandmother. However, Harringfort would not continue doing something that does not support his previous belief about the type of work that they do in the organization.
He frowned. Harringfort joined this organization because he sincerely believed that they are doing something to help the world. However, all this question in his mind was telling him that there is something deeper about this organization. Something profound is hiding beneath these schemes. And he is planning to find out everything… even if that meant he will die.
