“You’re telling me to question my Death Warriors that I’ve been with for years, and not you? Do you think I’m stupid? You’re the one who leaked the secret! It’s definitely you! Why did you try to harm my Sunny? Was it Gilbert, Millie, or Gustav who told you to do this?”
Emily was extremely aggrieved. She shook her head and roared, “I didn’t try to harm her at all! No one instructed me to do anything! Mr. Duke, this is slander! How could you slander a woman bearing a child for you?”
Duke Eton sneered. He did not pay the three Wu family guests in the hall any mind as he continued, “Don’t talk about our child. If I find out that you’re related to this incident, I won’t let you give birth to that child.”
Emily shook her head in disbelief. Her eyes were full of disappointment.
This gaze instantly made Duke Eton’s heart soften.
Emily enunciated each word clearly. “I swear to Jesus that I have nothing to do with those three people you mentioned. If you find out that I’m involved with them in any way, let me and my child die in the operating theater during childbirth.”
After this, Emily was no longer in the mood to feign civility with Nangong Nuannuan and the others anymore. She turned around and went back upstairs.
Duke Eton was frightened by her oath.
They did not easily swear like that in the mansion because they were all loyal Christians. If Emily dared to swear like that, was she not afraid of being punished?
After watching Emily’s back as she left, Duke Eton looked at Nangong Nuannuan. He muttered to himself, “Could I have misjudged her? But when I arranged things, besides Charles, she was the only other person in the room. She was helping me make tea.”
Nangong Nuannuan comforted him. “Since you’re sure that she was the only one by your side then, she must have leaked it.”
“But she swore that she didn’t do it. And it shouldn’t be difficult to find out if she has any connections to those people I mentioned. Since she dared to say that, she must not be afraid that I’ll investigate thoroughly.”
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at the woman who was eavesdropping behind one of the corridor’s corners and said, “Since she dared to say that, that means that she’s indeed not afraid of being investigated.”
“So you’re saying that she definitely leaked the information?”
“Dad, I’m really worried about leaving you alone in Luntan. Why don’t you move to Camino?”
Duke Eton was stunned. “Why?”
“Even though you and Charles can are tough against outsiders, you guys are really naive when it comes to the women close to you.”
Duke Eton, “…”
Charles, who had suddenly been brought up,”…”
“She only swore to you that she had nothing to do with those three people, and if she did, she would die on the operating table with her child. But she didn’t swear that she wasn’t the one who leaked that information. Even though she said those words together, when she swore, it was obvious she meant them separately. You shouldn’t fall for her tricks and get confused!”
Duke Eton was instantly enlightened.
“Emily did not know who you were, so she leaked this matter to the people from the Shipley family. The Shipley family also did not know you, so they only hired 10 low-level mercenaries to kill you.
“Would Gilbert, Millie, and Gustav be so light-handed?”
