“Get lost!” Billy glared at Judge.
After saying that, he looked at Melanie Fennimore again. “Remember what I said. If you cause trouble in the capital again, you’ll bear all the consequences!”
With that, he turned and left.
“Stop right there!” Melanie Fennimore stomped her foot and shouted, “Elder Blankenship, stop him!”
“Miss, let it go. This matter can’t be rushed!” the plain-clothed old man responded after taking a deep breath.
“No, I must have him come back with me today!” Melanie Fennimore replied loudly.
“Miss, this is the capital. If things escalate, I’m afraid the master of the palace won’t be pleased.” The plain-clothed old man spoke, “We’ll be in the capital for a few more days anyway. We can figure a way out slowly.”
“This is so infuriating!” Melanie Fennimore calmed down slightly upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, Billy and his group headed towards Lord Dragon’s mansion.
“Boss, when did you acquire another arranged marriage?” Judge asked.
“Nonsense!” Billy replied.
He himself was puzzled. He had never heard of such a thing before.
“Boss, Stephanie and other relatives probably haven’t had contact with people from Phoenix Divine Palace. Could it be arranged by the old man from Ether Mountain?” Soul Chaser suggested.
“I don’t know!” Billy shook his head.
He had considered this possibility, but he was more inclined to believe that Melanie Fennimore was just spouting nonsense.
“Both of you, keep your mouths shut about this to Harleen!” Billy added.
“Understood!” Judge nodded and continued, “Boss, I don’t think Miss Fennimore will give up easily. Sister-in-law will probably find out sooner or later!”
“We’ll deal with it when the time comes!” Billy responded.
Half an hour later, everyone returned to Lord Dragon’s mansion.
“Honey, you’re back?” Harleen greeted them as she led Tasha over.
Upon arrival, she smiled at Abby Meskill and said, “Miss Meskill, it’s been a while!”
“Abby Meskill greets Lady Harleen!” Abby Meskill bowed.
“Miss Meskill, no need for formalities!” Harleen smiled, “What’s going on? Who dares to target the Meskill family?”
“It’s the people from Phoenix Divine Palace!” Abby Meskill selectively introduced them to Harleen afterward.
Naturally, she didn’t mention the predestined marriage.
“Phoenix Divine Palace?” Harleen was surprised. “Is that a secretive sect? I’ve never heard of it.”
“Yes!” Abby Meskill nodded. “People from their sect haven’t shown themselves in the martial world for many years, so few know about them.”
“No wonder!” Harleen nodded and continued, “Miss Meskill, why are you here in the capital?”
“My father entrusted me to visit Lord Dragon specifically,” Abby Meskill explained, looking at Billy.
“Lord Dragon, my father knows that Polar Domain is in need of manpower, so he sent me to discuss with you.”
“The Meskill family plans to send a group of people to the Polar Domain to offer assistance!”
“Please convey my thanks to your father!” Billy responded after a slight pause.
He hadn’t expected the Meskill family to offer help voluntarily. It seemed that they had learned something after their visit to Ether Mountain.
“Lord Dragon, it’s our duty as members of Glavale,” Abby Meskill replied with a faint smile upon seeing Billy accept the goodwill of the Meskill family.
After a brief pause, she continued, “I wonder when Lord Dragon plans to leave. If you don’t mind, can I go with you?”
“After this, my father asked me to represent the Meskill family and visit the Central Part to meet with the Meskill family there.”
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll probably set off in two or three days. If Miss Meskill is interested in joining us, you can find us then,” Harleen replied with a smile.
“Thank you, Lady Harleen!” Abby Meskill bowed slightly.
“Miss Meskill, no need to be so formal!” Harleen smiled again.
After chatting for a while longer, Abby Meskill took her leave.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Billy and Harleen finished washing up and went to bed.
“Honey, the people from Phoenix Divine Palace suddenly appearing in the capital, there must be a reason, right?” Harleen, resting her head on Billy’s arm, spoke.
“I’m not sure.” Billy paused slightly before responding.
“Is their lady very beautiful?” Harleen asked again.
“Not bad,” Billy hesitated before adding, “But however beautiful she was, she wouldn’t be as beautiful as my wife!”
“Honey, do you know? Every time you feel guilty, you talk sweetly,” Harleen turned over and looked at Billy, changing the subject.
“Tell me, did the lady from Phoenix Divine Palace come to the capital to find you?”
“How could that be!” Billy’s heart skipped a beat. “I don’t even know her!”
“Is that so?” Harleen smiled mysteriously.
After a momentary pause, she continued, “When Abby Meskill was introducing Phoenix Divine Palace to me, she couldn’t even look me in the eyes.”
“And from time to time, she would glance at you, as if afraid of saying something wrong. Even Judge and Soul Chaser seemed a bit off.”
“I don’t believe there’s nothing fishy going on.”
Billy choked.
Why did his wife become so sensitive all of a sudden?
“Am I right?” Harleen stared at Billy’s eyes, “Come on, spill it. What’s going on? Is she intentionally coming to the capital to find you?”
“Uh…” Billy realized he couldn’t hide it anymore and had to come clean.
“A arranged marriage?” Harleen was astonished after hearing Billy’s words.
After a brief pause, she looked at Billy and asked, “When did you have a predestined bride? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
“Honey, just like you, this is the first time I’ve heard of this,” Billy said with a twitch of his mouth.
“Who would believe you!” Harleen pinched Billy on the side. “Come on, confess, did you have any feelings for her?”
“How could that be!” Billy was exasperated. “I only have feelings for you, my dear wife!”
After saying that, he pretended to turn over.
“Oh! Wait a minute!” Harleen exclaimed and quickly moved to the side.
After a pause, she stopped teasing Billy and continued, “Honey, could it be that the old man from Ether Mountain promised you a marriage?”
Even though she had only been with Billy for a little over a year, she understood him well enough to know that he wouldn’t lie to her about matters between men and women.
“I don’t know, I’ll ask the old man next time!” Billy responded.
“Honey, her surname is Fennimore. Could she be related to Edie?” Harleen seemed to suddenly realize this possibility.
