The drawbridge connecting Oakwood Manor had not been repaired.
Four bonfires were placed on the racks at the entrance of the manor, and more than a dozen torches were inserted into the ground; the manor's servants and the surrounding farmers were working overtime to rush the repair.
Fortunately, the Doyle family owned a large oak forest and did not lack materials.
However, even with sufficient materials and manpower, it would take until after dawn to fully repair the drawbridge.
Therefore, Marinda's luxurious carriage naturally stopped across from the manor.
Next to the carriage, Marinda, clad in hunting attire and smoking a pipe, took a deep breath of relief when she saw that Arthur was safe and sound on the other side.
Of course, this wasn't a matter of romantic affection, but merely a business cooperation—at this stage, if anything happened to Arthur, her interests would suffer a significant loss.
This was something Marinda definitely did not want to see happen.
