She underestimated Sam, she must not give him a chance to aplish this matter.


    Quickly considering her words in her mind, Libby gently opened her red lips and persuaded her adoptive father,


    “Father, Mr. Hurst is a Che person and may not understand the local situation very well.”


    “Duke Austen is greedy and extremely stingy, what if Mr. Hurst identally offends him?”


    “It might be better to let my daughter handle this matter. Anyway, Pearl is my sister, I will do my best.”


    How could Sam not understand the intention of Libby.


    The things he wants to do cannot be stopped by anyone, on the contrary… no one can force him to do what he doesn’t want.


    Negotiating with Duke Austen was tough, so Sam naturally didn’t bother to contend with Libby.


    “Well, I happen to have another matter to report to Mr. Gilliam.”


    “I believe with the abilities of Miss Libby, handling this matter will be a piece of cake, you can rest assured by entrusting it to her.”


    When the words fell, it made the youngdy stunned, how could he give up so easily?


    He even stood up for her in front of her foster father, rendering her prepared arguments useless.


    Is Sam genuinely willing to give up this opportunity, or does he have other intentions?


    “Well…”


    As expected, Den raised objections.


    “No, why don’t you two handle this matter together. Sam knows Mrs. Crete, Libby, you go represent me to apologize.”


    Den didn’t dare to hand over the matter entirely to Libby for fear that she might sabotage and harm Pearl.


    Directly refusing, however, was not appropriate either, as it was not yet time to alienate her.


    Such a result had long been anticipated by Sam.


    Since he understood Den’s thoughts, he had said what he said just now.


    “Yes, I will follow Mr. Gilliam’s orders. The most important person in this matter is also Miss Pearl. I wonder where she is right now?”


    Speaking of his youngest daughter, Den shook his head in distress.


    “I don’t know either, she’s probably afraid that I will scold her so she went into hiding.”


    “Later, Sam, take a few people to the bar to search and bring her back to me.”


    “Yes.”


    Next was the actual matter Sam had to report to him-


    The Weaver family had copsed, and Jaelynn had been arrested!


    “Bang!”


    The news came too suddenly, catching Den off guard, his trembling figure on the sofa stood up with the support of his cane.


    “How could this happen?”


    The n should have been foolproof.


    Sam respectfully handed him a newspaper, with the information about the situation on the day of the incident.


    “The n indeed failed, on the day of the incident, Abel did arrive at Brewood. But for some reason, General Jaelynn did not go to support our men.”


    “By the time I arrived, the war had already ended, all of Brewood’s troops had been captured, and General Jaelynn was nowhere to be found.”


    “Due to the far superior numbers on the other side, I didn’t dare to act rashly, to prevent unnecessary sacrifice of our men.”


    “After waiting a night at the hotel, the next morning I received news that General Jaelynn and Mr. Lara had been arrested by the police, and Dragon Serpent Isle was burnt down.”


    He then stayed in Brewood for another two days.


    Seeing that the rescue was hopeless, Sam then brought his men back.


    After hearing the whole story, Den’s heart was greatly shocked, his face bing extremely ugly.


    “How could this happen? Jaelynn is caught, does that mean that I will be exposed?”


    On this point, not to say a hundred percent… at least there was an eighty percent chance that the other party already knew of his existence.


    “But there has been no news from the Che side so far, maybe there’s still a chance.”


    “Regardless, we need to be fully prepared.”


    The reason why Sam returned a few dayste was to quietly evacuate the people arranged in Brewood, to ensure they never return.


    Libby also became extremely worried, her brows furrowing deeply, immediately ming Sam, the instigator.


    “Father should not have cooperated with those two in the first ce, the Gilliam family’s position in Tondende was already sufficient, why damage our reputation.”


    And the reason those two sought to cooperate with the Gilliam family was because of Sam!


    Now that such a big problem had urred, his position in his father’s heart would surely plummet, it was a perfect opportunity for her to take advantage.


    Sam never denied his fault, he bowed to Den, apologizing,


    “Mr. Gilliam, I’m sorry… it was indeed my negligence that caused this. I will now go investigate why General Jaelynn got into trouble that day.”


    “On the other hand, we also need to find external help.”


    This statement finally gained the approval of the youngdy, she then added, “I believe that if Duke Austen can step forward and vouch for the Gilliam family in front of the Emperor, even if the Che people investigate, they will be powerless.”


    Libby’s proposed method was indeed good, but they had just offended Duke Austen… how could he help them?


    Den was troubled.


    The eldest daughter then proposed the simplest and most direct solution-N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Marriage!


    “Father, you must understand that the best way to turn enemies into allies and establish a long-term rtionship is through marriage.”


    If the two families be one through marriage, where would Duke Austen find a reason to refuse to help them?


    As for the candidate, the Gilliam family had only two daughters, and Libby suggested this because she firmly believed that Duke Austen would definitely choose Pearl.


    She was the one who caused Parker to be a eunuch, and he must hate her deeply.


    “But, Parker is no longer a man.”


    Once married, it would mean living as a widow.


    Moreover, with past grievances between the two families, whoever marries over will surely be the target of retaliation.


    Pearl is Den’s biological daughter, his cherished girl.


    As a father, even if he was angry at her for causing this disaster, he couldn’t bear to watch his daughter jump into a fire pit.


    Seeing the hesitant and struggling expression on her father’s face, Libby naturally knew that he couldn’t bear to part with Pearl.


    Humph!


    She wanted to see, in a choice between his life and his beloved daughter, how would he choose.


    After pondering for a while, Sam spoke, “Miss Libby’s suggestion is indeed feasible, but we still don’t know the specific situation of Parker Crete.”


    “Let me visit Mrs. Crete first, see what their attitude is before making a decision.”


    Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer of hope arose in Den’s heart.


    “Alright, you handle this. Sam, you must act quickly, if there’s a chance for a turnaround, I will surely reward you handsomely.”


    “Yes.”


    After discussing the official business, Den then asked Sam to stay for dinner.
