Two hundred forty-one. One good news and one bad news

Standing a head shorter to one side, the butler wearing a gentleman's tailcoat opened his mouth as if to say something, but eventually, it turned into a resigned sigh. With a slight bow, he gestured and said, "Please wait in the drawing room for a moment."

The maid came to Lu Li's side to lead the way, and the latter withdrew his gaze, following the maid into the hall's side door.

Baron Joseph's gaze, however, never left Lu Li, watching until his figure disappeared behind the drawing-room door, her slender legs beneath her long dress about to step forward to follow.

The butler, wearing thick round glasses, stepped forward to block Baron Joseph, in his usual even tone, "You still need to stay to oversee the examination."

Baron Joseph said indifferently, "Can't you do that?"

"They want to see Baron Joseph."

Baron Joseph's expression became more impatient, "What if he runs away!"

"He won't run, Mr. Luli is attracted here by you."
