Half an hour later, Grisha was sweating black beads of sweat and looked fatigued. Despite this, she looked at Adrian gratefully and said, "Let go. You're going to hurt yourself.""I'll be fine." Adrian had actually noticed what was happening and stopped breathing. On top of that, he was immune to most poisons. Lionel, looking satisfied, retrieved his Blossom Needles. Then, he instructed a maid to wipe Grisha down and wrote out a prescription. "Boil these ingredients with some water and take a bath in it. The toxins inside of you will be removed completely then. You'll feel weak for some time, so avoid going outdoors if you can," Lionel instructed. Axel no longer behaved as he did before and got down on his knees when Lionel walked over. "Grandfather!" he said."F*ck off! You'd better not charge me whenever I come here to get medical ingredients from you, understand?" Lionel, in a good mood after curing his patient, had already forgotten about the bet.However, Axel loved his m

This was all Sebastian's work, and the majordomo was being used to raise someone else's son. Of course, Adrian was saddened by such an outrageous act."Anyone else?" he asked.A group of women rushed forward, tears streaming down their faces. "I gave birth to a daughter.""I had twins, a boy and a girl.""I had two daughters."Gazing at the crowd, Adrian saw dozens of people and was amused by how Sebastian had played around with almost all of the household’s maids.Claude had wanted to arrange a grand funeral for his uncle since the man had raised him. But seeing this scene, all he wanted to do now was bury Sebastian hastily."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked the head chef."What's the point? The head chef rolled her eyes. "You're just living off someone else, which is even worse than myself."Adrian could not stand it anymore. "If my guess is correct, you were the one who willingly approached Sebastian, so why are you doing this now?" "Who doesn't want a better l

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Adrian jumped up, wondering if he had wrongly accused Sebastian.Lionel rubbed his nose. "You didn't ask. Besides, I don't like to meddle in others' private affairs. Sebastian and May did have an affair, and they should be punished."Axel, curious, exclaimed, "Wow! I thought May was a decent woman, but I never imagined she’d cheat on Sebastian.""Enough," Lionel interrupted, realizing the turn of the conversation. "They’re already dead, so let's respect the deceased."Adrian frowned, contemplating Lionel's accurate judgment. If the children were not Sebastian's, whose children were they?"Strange…" he muttered."What's the matter?" Rozi, just coming from Grisha's side, asked Adrian upon hearing his comment.Before Adrian could respond, Joe appeared and said, "Mr. Adrian, you need to come outside. It's chaos out there, and Sir Claude can't handle it."Adrian knew it would turn out this way. Those women were up to no good and would certainly try

Claude did not mind how others perceived him, as long as Adrian did not think he was inhospitable. He and Axel personally grew and picked their medicinal herbs, not wanting to rely on others and also fearing theft of their secrets. "Of course, sir," he said.The head chef regretted her actions. Her family depended on Medicis Manor for their livelihood and had benefited greatly from it, so leaving the place was a painful thought. Out of options, she decided to start a scene."No!" She collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly. "You people are so heartless! You've taken advantage of me, and now you're kicking me out! I swear I’ll make you all pay for this!"The other women joined her, wailing and refusing to give up. They rushed toward Adrian, hoping to encircle him and repeat their earlier tactic. "We won't give up!" they cried, "These children are part of the Biggs family. Take responsibility for them!" Adrian became anxious. Fearing a worse fate than Claude's if these women co

Thud!Lucien stumbled and fell, flailing helplessly. He landed face-first, much to the amusement of the onlookers. The villagers, having suffered under Lucien's mistreatment, relished in Adrian's intervention. They cheered and laughed at Lucien's fall.Thoroughly embarrassed, Lucien quickly got up and left with his family, vowing revenge against the onlookers. With him and his family gone, the crowd lost its leader. Since the children were not Sebastian's, their arguments lost ground. The male servants reluctantly left with their wives.Claude, not feeling victorious, said to Adrian, "I've been busy growing medicinal herbs and helping the locals with medical needs so much I’ve neglected to manage Medicis Manor."Adrian answered reassuringly, "You don't have to explain yourself to me. This place is in need of help right now, so why don't we ask the surrounding villagers to help out?"Claude walked toward the crowd and was immediately recognized. When the villagers heard that the ma

Adrian and the others had a pleasant dinner. Everyone was in good spirits, especially Lionel, who was particularly interested in Axel's medicinal herbs. Despite the darkness, he went out to the field to inspect the plants.After dinner, while Adrian was enjoying a cup of tea, Joe rushed over with alarming news."The former butler heard about Hendrick taking over his position and is on his way to teach Hendrick a lesson right now!" he reported.‘Damn it!’ Adrian recognized the gravity of the situation and knew he had underestimated Lucien.Sebastian was the kind of man who would fool around from dusk till dawn without any care for the manor. Instead, it was Lucien who was in control of everything. It was highly likely that he did not dare seek his revenge on Claude after being chased away by Adrian. However, since he had not been able to gain anything from it, he was going to have his revenge on the villagers. "Take me to Hendrick's place!" Adrian said.Marissa tagged along. Rozi

Bam! Lucien saw the door of the neighboring fly open. He instantly dropped his weapon and ran off. Claude stepped forward, taking out a balm as he said, “Here's some medicine for your bruises, madam. Apply it to your body, and it should relieve the pain. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, come find me at Medicis Manor.”The old woman was immensely grateful. A man who had just come out of the house saw Adrian and, mistaking him for the attacker, grabbed Adrian by the collar.The old lady shouted, “He's not the one who hit me, you idiot! Let him go!” The man’s fist froze in mid-air and looked at Adrian suspiciously. “Who is he? I don't recognize him.”“This is Adrian and a friend of mine," Claude said smilingly, “Stop messing around, Wilmer. Adrian’s a good person, so you shouldn't be laying your hands on him."Wilmer Pullman immediately apologized and asked, “Aren't you the guy who fired Lucien?”“I am,” Adrian said, straightening his clothes. “You have a problem with that?”

“I’m a messenger your sister sent," Adrian said calmly. "Lucien isn’t a good person, and he’ll surely trouble you again. It’s best if you head back to Medicis Manor."A woman's head peeked out from behind Hendrick. "My husband has never managed an estate. He has only ever handled straightforward tasks. I fear he may not be up for the job.""How are you managing your own household?" Adrian asked softly.Hendrick nodded as he lit up a homemade cigar. "Pretty well. My house is in good order and we live a prosperous life, though I'm a bit stubborn."Claude was delighted. "I hate managing trivial matters. If you're willing, you can treat Medicis Manor as your own home."“Really?” Hendrick hesitated. He could not believe such good fortune had fallen into his lap. Claude's offer to make him Medicis Manor’s majordomo must come with a motive—perhaps it was out of respect for his brother-in-law.Adrian, sensing Hendrick's interest, urged, "You should make up your mind quickly. There are se
