Not just in the tone of his voice.
Lola Hussey also saw guilt in Egbert Bailey's jet-black eyes.
She shook her head and said, "Actually... you didn't know I was here, and I didn't know you were here either."
After a pause, Lola Hussey continued, "if I had known that I had a brother as a professor at Alber University, I would have come sooner."
Upon hearing this, the guilt in Egbert Bailey's eyes was drowned out, and he smirked quietly.
It was a silent laugh.
Only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, exuding an elegant scholarly grace.
"Was it your agent who locked you up there?" Egbert Bailey asked her.
Just as Lola was about to nod, Egbert Bailey suddenly frowned and a faint shade clouded his brow. "Sheng Changxiu thinks we won't do anything to her, she even bought off the people around you now!"
Lola heard the name Sheng Changxiu.
Sheng Changxiu!!
A woman with the surname Sheng!
