Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 84

After Samuel ordered the renovation company to send more staff and shorten the renovation period as

much as possible, he drove off from the villa area.

Yvonne did not go to work that day so there was no need to go to the Sue family's company. However,

Samuel planned to visit the stores and take a look.

After arriving there, Manfred had finally opened for business that day though he was a little surprised

when he saw Samuel.

"You never show up on weekends. It's not because of m e, is it?" Manfred smiled.

Samuel asked for a pack of cigarettes and handed one over to Manfred before saying, "What do you

think? The current Cloud City is different from that of yesteryear, right?"

Manfred nodded his head and handed the lighter to Samuel before saying, "It really is different. People

don't use their brains when doing things, especially those younger ones. They’ve been brainwashed by

those Young and Dangerous movies, thinking they can just go on killing sprees. These are all crimes

and only those with a mental illness could do."

Samuel did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Manfred used to be the overlord in Cloud City. Could h e really say that he never committed any

crimes? No

one in hell would believe him if he said that.

"You can keep Gareth. He might have disappointed m e a little, but after all these years, he should be

given a chance to provide for the elderly," Samuel said.

Manfred grunted and changed the subject. "If you need any cigarettes or alcohol, let me know in

advance. I'll prepare them for you. It's good for my business."

Samuel cocked his eyebrows. Manfred's words were intriguing. The only time he would need cigarettes

and alcohol was when there was a banquet.

"You're old but still very strong. No one in Cloud City knows about this except the Skye family," Samuel

said.

Manfred smiled and said, "The buyer is very mysterious indeed, but I got lucky and accidentally

chanced upon a bit of news. Don't you worry though, I didn't investigate you on purpose. For me, the

more mysterious your identity, the more interesting it is. I don’t want to uncover your secret so quickly."

"Time for me to go. I'll invite you when it's time." Samuel flicked the cigarette butt and hit the bullseye o

n the trash can’s ashtray.

Manfred admired that move tremendously. He watched Samuel drive off before muttering, "Such

precise control over his strength. Some skill he has." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Samuel drove the car and was about to call Yvonne to ask her if she needed any help. Coincidentally,

the

phone rang and Samuel was stunned-it was from Lydia.

For three years, he could easily count the number of times Lydia ever called him. Every single one of

those times were requests for him to do work. Still, he did not have much work to do recently, so what

was her purpose for calling him?

"Mom."

Samuel answered the phone and heard Lydia’s anxious voice, "Come over to Fortuna Street. You must

be there within ten minutes."

Lydia hung up before Samuel could ask what was going on.

Samuel was already used to it. He drove straight to Fortuna Street.

After arriving at Fortuna Street, he saw a car accident from a distance. An electric scooter fell in the

middle o f the road. There was a middle-aged woman with a bloody right leg and large chunks of

damaged flesh. Meanwhile, Lydia sat there crouching and cursing.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Samuel walked to Lydia and asked.

Lydia glared at Samuel, seemingly to blame Samuel for being late, and said, "This woman is trying to

set u p an accident and demand compensation. You stay here and solve the problem. I have other

things to do with Dad, so I'll be leaving first."

As Lydia spoke, she went and dragged Godfrey away.

Samuel looked at the Audi's location, and then at the place where the electric scooter fell. It was a

crosswalk, and it was likely that the middle-aged woman got injured and was hit by Godfrey as she

walked through the sidewalk. Lydia alleged that the woman was setting up an accident, and her reason

for calling Samuel was all too clear-she wanted Samuel t o come forward and deal with it so they could

escape.
