Lawrence Ancestral Home.
Old Master Lawrence was having a drink with Nicholas while Skye sat nearby, occasionally easing the atmosphere with talk of things seen and heard in Linton City.
At that moment, a servant rushed in, hurriedly whispered something to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper's brows furrowed, he glanced towards Old Master Lawrence, seemingly hesitating whether to speak. Soon enough, he made up his mind, went over to the stern old man, bent down and whispered something in his ear. Old Master Lawrence's authoritative and somber face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the parlor turned rigid!
Skye sat on the opposite couch and vaguely heard words like 'Ms. Clark' and 'banquet', but she could not clearly make out what the housekeeper was saying.
After the housekeeper had spoken, he respectfully stepped back.
Old Master Lawrence, who had been leisurely sipping his tea, suddenly stood up and instructed flatly, "Nicholas, come upstairs with me."
