Lady Mela looked down in a panic to pick up the broken pieces of her teacup, and Celes stepped forward.

"Madam, you sit down, I'll clean up these."

Mrs. Mera was stunned, and then slowly returned to her seat, but her hands were wrenched uneasily and her head was bowed.

"I am sad to hear this. Lord Angus is a merciful man, why did this happen? Her voice was choppy and seemed uncomfortable.

"Please mourn." Then Loren Hill waited for Lady Mela to slowly ease her mood.

After a while, Mrs. Mera stopped sobbing and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then slowly raised her head, her eyes a little red and swollen.

Seeing that she was slowly calming down, Loren Hill continued to speak.

"Master Angus is gone, but before he died, he asked me to take care of you and your children, and you can rest assured."

"Thank you, thank you, Miss Lacey. I... I don't know how to repay this kindness... What do you ask for, just say. ”

"I don't have any requirements, I just want to see your child today." Loren Hill stated the main purpose of the day.

"Okay, wait a minute, Dill is upstairs, I'll call him."

"Don't bother, let's go together, it just so happens that I'm here for the first time, and I'm still very interested in the layout here." Lorain Hill shook his head, smiled kindly, and rose from the couch.

"Well... Okay, you and I. Lady Mera hesitated, and then led Lorain Hill in front.

The building has 3 floors, the second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the attic attached to the roof for sundries. The floors in the house are all marble, and the doors, railings, and furniture are made of mahogany, which does not look old, and should have been newly made in recent years.

Passing through the hallway on the second floor, at the end of the room, Mrs. Mera took out a key and opened the door, and a 10-year-old child was in the room, he was throwing himself on the floor, drawing with colored paints, and there were many colorful building blocks scattered on the ground next to him.

When the door was opened, the boy looked up, and was very happy to see Mrs. Mella, and took the painting to her as if it were a treasure, and showed it to her.

"Mom, I drew it, is it beautiful?" The child watched his mother suddenly appear with some joy.

A small figure is painted like graffiti on the thick white paper, with exaggerated hair painted with yellow paint, and a mouth with light red paint, and the corners of the mouth are cracked, as if laughing. On the whole, I can only barely see that this is a person, and all kinds of pigments are piled up on the paper, which looks very messy.

"Makes you smile. Miss Lacey. Mrs. Mela stepped forward and quickly pulled the child over, and the painting was thrown aside.

"Nothing." Loren Hill walked over and picked up the painting and asked the child.

"Who's that drawing, Diel?"

"It's Mommy."

"Why is my mother's hair yellow?"

"Because I want my mother to take me out like the sun...... And to laugh, my mother rarely smiled at me....." The child's voice was a little low.

Listening to the child's words, Mrs. Mera was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop it, but she couldn't speak to her face.

Lorain Hill didn't mean to laugh, looking at the child in front of him, pulled by his mother, not very tall, and the clothes he was wearing were very clean, and his big eyes looked straight at her, with curiosity and admiration in his eyes.

"Come, come to my sister's side." Lorain Hill crouched down, clapped his hands, and looked at the child with a smile on his face.

When Mrs. Mela saw this, she let go of her hand and let the child walk over on her own.

Loren Hill touched Dil's head and blinked, checking on the child's condition.

In general, he was relatively healthy, his eyebrows looked a little like his mother's, softer, not as angular as Angus's.

Then there was another conversation, and after a while, Lorain Hill took out the snack box for the child and invited the mother and son to move to the headquarters of the Karitas Chamber of Commerce, because it was safer.

However, Mrs. Mera refused, and Lorain Hill did not keep persuading them, and before leaving, he said that he would come back to see them after a while.

After putting on his black hooded robe again and boarding the carriage, Lorain Hill slowly pondered the process of this meeting.

"Serres, how did Mr. Angus meet Lady Mera back then?"

"It was at a banquet 10 years ago, and the old man's business began to flourish, and he often attended banquets of all parties, and once he was drunk, and Miss Mera happened to be one of the banquets, she was the daughter of a small merchant."

So the drunken lord had sex with Miss Mella, and then Miss Mera's father wanted to send her over to make a side room in order to please the master. Although the lord did not agree, in order to make up for the guilt in his heart, he gave Mera's father a lot of benefits. ”

"As time went on, Mera's father became more and more greedy, opened his mouth more and more, and even threatened the master to poke the matter out if he did not agree."

"Originally, the lord was still thinking about love and forbearance everywhere, but after that time, he directly sent someone to do it, Mrs. Mera's father almost went bankrupt, and finally settled down, and Mrs. Mera was caught in the middle, and before the father asked the master for a lot of benefits, she has been very uneasy in her heart, and then she was a little afraid of the master."

"That's .....," Lorain Hill listened to the butler Serres's narration, and always felt that there was still some ambiguity in it.

Why was Lady Mela more alarmed than sad when she heard the news of Angus? Why did Mrs. Mela lock Dill in her room and lock it, was she worried or abusive. Why did she hear that Loren Hill invited her to live in the headquarters, her first reaction was to refuse, without any hesitation.

Lady Mera must have something in mind, there may be something else hidden between her and Angus, Loren Hill sipped his tea, but he was thinking in his heart how to find out the truth.

It was a long moment before she spoke.

"Serres, can you arrange for someone to find out about Lady Mela's past acquaintances, I want to know what happened to her ten years ago before she came into contact with Angus, and what happened before and after that incident."

"I'm afraid it's difficult, miss, after all, it's been ten years."

"Even if it is ten years, many things will still leave traces, you send someone to investigate."

"Yes, Miss Lacey."

After returning to the headquarters mansion, Lorain Hill took care of some things about the Chamber of Commerce, and then in the evening, after dinner, she sat on a chair on the balcony to rest, looking at the night scene of the stars and lights on the horizon, and the evening breeze blew, bringing a little coolness.

Chelsea, the head maid, gently pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony and walked over.

"Miss, did you call me?"

"Yes, I want you to do something." She paused slightly, looking at the lights in the distance, and the wind slowly blowing through the trees outside the balcony.

"The henchman who sent the letter secretly investigated the butler Seres and all the men he had been in contact with in the past few days, and then reported it to me. You came to Karitas first, and there must have been a lot of people you could trust. ”

Loren Hill turned her head to look at the head maid, her silky hair fluttering slowly in the night breeze.
