In Bauhinia Garden, Scott Harris was anxiously pacing back and forth waiting for their return.
Hearing the sound of the door opening in the Entrance Hall, he immediately went to greet them, âLord Baron, Ms. Clark, youâre back.â
He discreetly examined Enna Clark, noticing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Baron Lawrence, hesitating to speak.
Scott Harris had been following Baron Lawrence since he was young, and the two had developed a tacit understanding over time. Baron Lawrence understood that Scott had something to say with just a glance, and indifferently stated, âWait for me in the study room.â
âYes.â
He changed into slippers, and entered the study room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As soon as he walked in, Scott Harris bowed his head abruptly, with crossed hands in front of him, and formally apologized, âLord Baron, Iâm sorry!â
Baron Lawrence furrowed his brows, waiting for him to continue.
Scott Harris spoke word by word, âThis morning, the director of South Airlines called me stating that there was an urgent dispute and asked me to go there as soon as possible. Consequently, I asked Ms. Clark to help me send the young master to the school. I just got the news that a group of reporters ambushed Ms. Clark at the gate of the Brilliant Nursery School this morning. One of the reporters asked Ms. Clark some very outrageous questions, and a physical conflict ensued. If it hadnât been for the coincidental presence of the Habsden Family Duke who stepped in to help, it could have led to an irreparable situation.â
He apologized with a dispirited expression, âLord Baron, Iâm sorry. I didnât anticipate this happening. It was my negligence. This morning, I shouldnât have let Ms. Clark take the young master to the school alone. No matter what, I should have accompanied them.â
âEnna Clark was ambushed by reporters at the entrance of the Brilliant School this morning, how come I didnât know!â Baron Lawrenceâs face turned green, with every word seemingly squeezed out from the gaps in his teeth.
Why didnât he know about this?
Why didnât Enna tell him!
âWhatâs the deal with those reporters? How did they know about Ennaâs itinerary?â He was even more concerned about this!
Because Scott Harris had asked someone to investigate immediately, he was able to answer as soon as Baron Lawrence asked, âIt was Ms. Clarkâs father, President Clark of the Clark Corporation, who leaked the information.â
âEver since the last incident, he has been investigating Ms. Clark and somehow learned about the existence of the young master. He leaked this information to the reporters, which is why they showed up at the school gate to ambush Ms. Clark.â
It was Jacob Clark again! Baron Lawrenceâs eyes flashed with fury, igniting a storm in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, suppressing his bloodlust, he coldly said, âDid we find out why the Duke of Habden happened to be at the gate of the Brilliant Nursery School?â
âThis⦠Iâm not sure at the moment. Members of the Habsden Family are famously mysterious, and tracking their movements isnât easy. We have yet to know why the Duke happened to be at the nursery school gate.â
Baron Lawrenceâs brows furrowed even more, and an instinct told him that it wasnât so simple, âLook into it further! Make sure to find out if itâs an coincidence!â
If it was a coincidence, then it was too much of one.
If it wasnât, then he needed to meet this Duke!
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his voice unexpectedly lowered, âScott Harris, what do you think Jacob Clarkâs intention is in asking the reporters to ambush Enna?â
âThat ⦠âScott Harris quickly raised his head and just as quickly bowed again, âI think itâs to distract public attention.â
âHe already knows that Ms. Clark and you, Lord Baron, are together, but he doesnât know that Ms. Clark has legally become the Young Madam of the Lawrence Corporation. After learning about the existence of the young master, he wanted to break the news through the reporters, hoping that the reporters would dig further into your affairs. This way, he could solidify Ms. Clarkâs identity as the âmistressâ, add fuel to the fire of the wrist-slitting incident from last time, and shift the direction of public opinion towards a side that is not favorable to Ms. Clark. Additionally, he can alert the Old Lord, relying on the Old Lord to restrain you, to give his company a breather.â
