Living With My Lady Boss

Lindon listened with a slight furrow of his brow, while Carlson said, "Elise, what does he do, and what's his status here?"

Elise shook her head, saying, "I'm not sure, I've only met him twice."

"Ah, he's not some local big shot, what's the use?" Carlson shook his head, lighting up a cigarette.

Lindon also furrowed his brow, saying, "Out there, don't easily trust others' words. Didn't your brother and Jaden suffer losses? Haven't you seen it?"

Upon hearing this, Elise could only remain silent. But deep down, she always had a strange feeling, though she could not articulate what exactly it was.

The next morning.

Ben arrived early at Earl Hans's estate and waited outside.

It was not until he received a notification from the steward that he was escorted to the drawing-room in the castle.

At this time, Earl Hans had just finished his breakfast and was sipping black coffee. When Ben entered, he quickly bowed in greeting. As he bent down, the fat on his belly almost touched the ground.

"Oh, it's you, Mister Ben. Please have a seat," Hans smiled and said.

Ben modestly sat across from Hans, but only half of his buttocks touched the chair. It was not that the chair was too small, but he dared not sit completely.

The steward then brought a cup of coffee for Ben, who promptly expressed his thanks.

"Mister Ben, do you have some business with me?" Hans politely inquired. Ben sighed and said, "Your Lordship, just last night, my old comrade Jeff was killed by a man from Dasha."noveldrama

"Oh, why is that?" Hans still wore a smile on his face.

Ben shook his head and said, "That guy was looking for someone named Lou. He found his way to me, and because I didn't provide him with information, he killed Jeff and declared that today was my last day unless I gave him what he wanted."

"This guy, he's areally domineering," Hans set down his silver coffee cup, saying lightly.

Ben continued, "My Lord, you're asking me how I would know someone named Lou, isn't that putting me in a tough spot? But that guy is really powerful, I have no choice but to come to you, hoping to gain your protection."

Hans smiled faintly, placing his hands on the table, fingers interlocked, and said slowly, "Is this truly all there is?"

"Truly, how could I dare to lie in front of you," Ben solemnly affirmed.

Hans fell silent for a moment before saying slowly, "Alright, I understand. I'll make sure that Dasha man behaves himself, because this is Morburn."

"Thank you very much, Earl. Please accept this small gift." With that, Ben took out a small box, placed it on the table, and then bowed before leaving.

The butler brought the box over, but Hans did not even glance at it, tossing it directly into the fireplace. He said coldly, "Deal with that fat pig tonight, too much talk. Also, tell Wynna to investigate that guy's background."

"Yes, master," the butler bowed. "Connor's father and the others are waiting outside for your summons."

"Heh, they came quickly. Please, bring them in," Hans lifted his coffee cup gracefully.

The butler nodded and walked out.

Meanwhile, Ben left the mansion.

Outside, he brushed past several yellow-skinned individuals, one of them a pretty young girl. But his mind was not on them now.

He had already relayed the message to Earl Hans, though not explicitly. But everyone should understand.

'Lou has sought refuge with you, Earl Hans. Trouble has come, and you should be the one to resolve it. As long as we deal with that guy Wilbur, there won't be any more issues.'

However, thinking about Jeff, he felt a pang of regret. After all, that guy died too suddenly.

Where did he hide his money?

It was worth a thorough search.
