Chapter 966


    “Who would’ve thought of finding a hidden weapon in your sister’s room?” Ron Batton tried to


    comfort X Quest.


    Guilt filled X’s heart no matter what Ron said.


    After all, the female servant was not only her servant but her family too.


    X lightly nodded before lifting her head to meet Ron and Stanley Batton’s eyes. “I heard that


    she’s from a low-ie family. Her family has been renting a small apartment as they cannot afford


    to buy a house. I’m going to find a house for them in Antis and give them five million dors…”


    By doing so, her family did not have to suffer from financial problems anymore.


    Though X understood that money could never make up for the pain of losing a family member,


    she would do everything to help her family to get through this misery.


    “Okay. We have many houses in Antis. You can pick one for her family,” Ron offered.


    He agreed with X. It was a thoughtful idea.


    His fondness for her was doubled at that instant.


    “It’s okay. I have plenty of houses here too. I’ll find a suitable one and give it to them.” Following that


    statement, X took two small steps backward and bowed to the body. She could not hide the


    quiver in her voice as she apologized, “I’m sorry…”


    Ron and Stanley immediately approached X and bowed to the body simultaneously.


    Subsequently, the three left the small shed and closed the door.


    Making sure that the door was locked, X looked at Stanley and Ron and said, “Let’s split up now.


    Grandpa, I’ll send you home first. Hubby, try to look for a private detective to dig up some


    information about the ‘master’. I’ll go back to the funeral home to inform my father about it.”


    “Stan will send me home. You can go to the funeral home right away. Take more bodyguards with


    you, okay? Don’t go out alone, especially at night. You shouldn’t—” Ron started nagging her.


    “I know. Don’t worry,” X interrupted.


    “Let’s go.” As Stanley spoke, he held X’s hand tightly and led her out of the backyard.


    His intuition warned him that the ‘master’ behind the whole incident was a dangerous man.


    He ought to be more alert. He must protect X at all costs.


    What mattered most to him was X’s safety and happiness.


    He was confident that he could take good care of X.


    Ron followed closely behind the two, his eyes filled with worries.


    Likewise, he was still thinking about the ‘master’.


    Though he had no idea who he or she was, he should not turn a blind eye to what was happening.


    The master was up to no good.


    The three of them returned to the front yard in silence. X’s heart grew increasingly heavier every


    time she thought of the maid and the secret she had just discovered.


    She stopped walking and turned to Ron and Stanley. “I’d better get going. Hubby, please keep the


    things I found at a safe ce.”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    She trusted Stanley the most. She believed that this man would never disappoint her.


    “I will.” As soon as Stanley finished his sentence, he clutched X’s wrist and pulled her into his


    arms.


    “What are you doing?” X struggled and pushed him away. She was embarrassed because Ron


    was watching them.


    Nevertheless, Stanley hugged her tightly as if no one else existed on earth. “Honey, I just want to


    tell you that I’ll protect you no matter what. Don’t worry. You’ll be safe as long as I’m here. I’ll be


    your armor. I’ll never let a sworde near you.”


    Suddenly, warmth spread in X’s heart, taking away all her distress.


    For a split second, X was frozen to the spot. She stopped struggling and allowed Stanley to hug


    her.


    “I’m here for you, okay?” Stanley added.


    “Okay.”


    X knew that he did not say that for fun. She had found herself a knight who would protect her for


    the rest of her life.
