Chapter 264


    She was mistaken.


    He was not that man.


    Suddenly, they heard footsteps from the opening of the hole. Someone was approaching.


    Wynter arrived with some people, including Lnd and his daughter. Someone shone a light down the hole, revealing Cam’s


    untidy appearance.


    “Turn off the Light!” Isaac shouted.


    In an instant, it was dark again.


    Isaac unbuttoned his suit jacket and draped it on Cam.


    Someone inserted adder in the opening.


    Isaac helped Cam get out of the hole first.


    As soon as the two were out, Lnd hurriedly exined, “Oh, I’m so sorry! This is my daughter, Marlowe’s fault. She took Miss


    Haynes to the rose garden because she wanted to be friends with her. It’s Marlowe’s favorite ce, you see. After Miss Haynes


    fell into the hole, she returned to the manor and asked me to save her, but you found her first.”


    Lnd was a cunning man.


    He knew that his daughter had done something stupid.


    Thus, he promptly came up with an exnation to excuse Marlowe’s behaviour.


    “Are you okay?”


    Marlowe grimaced inwardly. Despite her protests, her father insisted that she apologize to Cam.


    “I''m sorry. It’s all my fault. You got hurt because of me. | hope you don’t get mad at me.”N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Cam frowned. It was like the woman before her and the one who pushed her into the hole were twopletely different


    people.


    She and her father were peas in a pod. Both of them were excellent liars.


    Cam smiled sharply.


    “It''s weird, isn’t it? There were only two of us here, and then | felt someone push me. | wonder who did it.”


    At that point, Marlowe could not keep her anger in check anymore. “Are you saying that it was me who pushed you?”


    “Marlowe, that’s not what Miss Haynes means. Why would you push her if you were going to save her in the end? You were the


    one who told me that she fell into the hole. | can prove that you’re innocent.”


    Aside from being cunning, Lnd was also a great talker


    He just answered Cam’s question and proved his daughter''s innocence in the same breath.


    “No one wanted this to happen. Thankfully, you don’t seem to be hurt at all. However, as the host, | have to bear some


    responsibility for this situation. Please let me apologize to you by treating you to a meal.”
