Chapter 109

Shannon

"What?"

I never expected to hear Vernon's name in my family matter...

"Didn't he tell you? I expected him not to. Since he brought you here, he knew that you were the heir of the guardian family. In fact, he was the one who told you, right?"

I nodded even without thinking. The past 10 minutes gave me more information than I ever have in my life.

"That is why I asked you to be here alone. Because he brought you here... For a reason."

Of course, I knew why he brought me here, I could unlock the treasure. But... I never expected this. But then I also remembered what he told me about his father. How his mother died protecting him... Was that how his mother died? Because they wanted to invade here?

"How do you expect me to trust you? We have only just met."

"You don't have to believe me, but you knew you were here for a reason. But what would he do once he gets what he wants?"
