Chapter 1140 Hypocritical
Crystal''s POV:
It was now obvious that the one behind this was the person who provoked the groom.
I rushed forward and questioned the man kneeling on the ground, "Who ordered you to take Arron away?"
The groom''s face was stiff. His tanned face was severely grazed and bleeding because of Rufus’ kick. He tightened his lips and pretended not to hear
my question.
Irritated, I paced around the room frantically. I didn''t know how to get the truth out of him.
To calm me down, Rufus patted my shoulder with his hand. Then, he looked at the groom with disdain and questioned, "Are you going to continue to
be stubborn?”
The groom raised his head and eyes at Rufus. His face twitched ferociously. He blinked, but still remained silent.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."
Rufus flew into a rage. He pointed at the groom and shouted, "Let''s see whether you can keep your mouth shut when you''re in prison!”
After that, he threw another kick at the groom. The man was hurled to the ground and rolled for a short distance beforeing to a stop.
Stunned. I stared at the irate Rufus in disbelief.
Rufus wasn''t a man who would resort to brute violence
A man, clearly distressed, ran up at this moment and kneeled before Rufus.
"Your Majesty, what he did has nothing to do with me! Please don''t kill me!"
This man was the senior elder the groom worked for. He looked pale and kept begging Rufus for mercy. Obviously, he was frightenedProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
But Rufus was still furious. He looked down at the elder kneeling on the ground and raised his hand. "Get up first. It is you or someone else. We will
get the answer soon."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old man sprang up and kicked the groom next to him. Thetter was thrown andy on the ground. He rushed
forward and pped the groom hard twice.
"Who asked you to do this? You''re courting death by doing such a thing." The elder cursed while punching and kicking the groom.
The groom widened his eyes and
suddenly wanted to resist, but he

did I I ask you to do such athing?" A
look of grave surprise crossed the
old man''s face. He took one look at
Rufus and kicked the groom again,
this time with more force. Content

"Enough! How can you act like that in my presence?! Are you not taking me seriously?" Rufus'' voice was cold.
"Your Majesty, I dared not." The old man dropped the groom as soon as he heard Rufus’ words and knelt down.

Rufus approached me and said in a low voice, "I''ve
heard that this elder is quite a hermit
and seldom quarrels with servants.
Yet his actions today contradict
what the others have said. Perhaps
he regsly beats his servants
behind closed doors. In that case;
it''s possible that this has nothihg to
dow With this elder. It seems that the
groom may have already harbored a
grudge against him. It might be that
he is taking this opportunity to
extract revenge. This hypocritical
elder may not be the one behind the
whole thing."

I understood what Rufus said, but I waspletely befuddled at this point. Who else might have fit the description of a terrible guy if not this elderly
person? Where on earth was my son? A myriad of thoughts crowded into my mind.
Rufus waved at the bodyguards beside him and ordered, "Throw this groom into prison and interrogate him harshly until he tells us who is behind it."
"Yes, Your Majesty.” The guards picked up the groom off the floor and dragged him out the door.
"Don''t worry about it." Rufus tilted my head back and said, "I promise I''ll take care of this and find your son.”
