Upon hearing Jared's words, Sir Hughes couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "If she doesn't agree once, you should try several times. She likes you, she will eventually agree."
Seeing Jared remaining silent, Sir Hughes continued, "Even if Betsy Russell found out that it was the steward who did it, what does it prove? The news of her being with you has become notorious, it won't be easy for her to marry into a good family now."
After Sir Hughes finished speaking, he took Steward Martin and left directly.
When Sir Hughes returned to the study, he stood by the window and saw that Jared was still standing alone in the garden pavilion.
"Sir." Steward Martin looked at Sir Hughes nervously, hesitantly asking, "If Mr. Jared Hughes knew that you did all of this, would he...?"
Sir Hughes gave a faint smile and continued, "He already knows it was me, but he can't say it out loud. Thank you for your hard work this time. I'll give you a year-end bonus of ten years' salary."
