CHAPTER 54 Three Letters

  Keith's POV

  After Grandfather handed the box to Lottie, he asked us to leave. I didn't expect Lottie to do it. Although she didn't convince Grandfather to be the mediator, she successfully obtained the best evidence to quell the rumors. I was curious about how she knew the truth about the arranged marriage.

  "It's a secret. If you're curious, you can ask Alfie."

  "Why did Grandfather believe you so easily? Was it because Mathew manipulated him and made Alfie agree to the marriage?"

  "He believed not in me, but in Alfie. Deep down, he also believes that Alfie is not the kind of person who breaks promises so easily, especially important ones like the one with his mother."

  As we were about to leave the house, a servant caught up with me, gasping for breath. "Mr. Keith, Mr. Roberts wants to talk to you alone."

  I glanced at Lottie.

  "You go, I'll wait for you here in the garden."
