Aaron took a sip of tea as his gaze fell on me, and he said with a strange tone, "I'm a little surprised that you're so confident. I just left Jarold City yesterday. And there was a rumor among the elite families in Jarold City that Mr. Moore and Madam Lawson have found themselves a reputable son- in- law. I heard that the last name of their so-called son-in-law was Roberts."
Speaking to that point, he couldn't help smiling, "I wonder where is your Hendrix right now?"
Aaron intended to irritate me. I wouldn't let myself be bothered by his words, so I replied, "Mr. Reid, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go home."
He sneered and looked at Yana as he said, "Yana, tell my dear sister about what happened in Jarold City!"
I frowned and said impatiently, "There's no need forthat. It's getting late. I should go!"
"Miss Reid, since you are here, you can just treat this as a story to listen to. You don't need to leave in such a hurry," Yana said to me.
On second thought, Yana didn't seem like she was an ordinary woman.
"Why don't you listen to her?" Aaron looked at me, with his chin propped up.
I didn't say anything. If it was just a story, I couldn't see why not.
Yana smiled faintly and poured me another cup of tea. She began the story, "I've heard a few rumors during the stay in Jarold City with Mr. Reid for a few days. The rumors were all related to Mr. Roberts."
