At that moment, another man interrupted, "Okay, stop talking nonsense with her. So what if he knows you? If you offend our Lord, you will still die!"
"I don't know him at all!" Ansley protested.
Her shock grew as she realized these men believed she had offended their Lord.
How can this be?
Ansley spoke with trembling urgency,"Have I offended your Lord? You must have made a mistake. I don't know you at all, and I have never met your Lord!"
Carl interjected, "It's not okay to offend the woman our Lord likes!"
"Wh... what?" Ansley blurted, confused. "Who is the woman your Lord cares about?"
As she considered this, her pupils dilated, and her mouth gaped. "Could it be… does your Lord like Jade?"
Carl's frigid gaze fixated on Ansley, his lips tightly sealed in silence.
She tried to speak, but her throat constricted, leaving her mute.
Ansley realized that the Skeleton Alliance Lord also likes Jade!
