Chapter 1090

"Rest earlier, Father. I'm going back first!"

Fane nodded his head and left.

"Al-alright. My son is truly grown up. And s o mature too—much more mature than

Lance!"

After Fane left, Nash lay on the bed, gratitude written all over his face.

The next morning, the members of the branch family who had stayed the night began to head back.

Everything seemed normal.

However, no one thought that Hudson, who was talking to the two daughters of the Woods family in a

pavilion, would actually observe Lancelot heading toward Fane’s place.

"Strange. Why is he going to Fane's place? The rest of the branch family members have already left.

Why hasn't he left? Why has he gone to see Fane instead?”

Hudson frowned as he stared at Lancelot’s back, suspicion carved on his expression.

He had been thoroughly embarrassed yesterday. He had wanted to kill Fane, but h e had not been able

to lay even a finger on him before he was eliminated.

He had even thought that Fane would be the last contender in the world to become the champion and

the heir to the Woods family.

"Heh. Who knows? He’s probably going to lick Fane's boots. That guy’s the heir now, after all.

Everyone knows that the Master won't live long after contracting that strange disease. Fane will

become the young master then. Plenty of people will be sucking up to him!"

A woman clad in a purple dress spoke in a sour tone, "No way about it though. The branch families are

in such lowly positions. Of course, they would want to gain Fane's favor so that their family will b e able

to have a better life!"

Hudson bobbed his head. "That's true. That punk is the heir to the Woods family now. We shouldn't

provoke him. We'll put ourselves in a terrible position once he becomes the family head and holds a

grudge against us. He’ll definitely take his revenge on us!"

"That’s right. I never thought that a live-in son-in-law like him would rise up the ranks so quickly. What

more, I never thought that an outsider would snatch the heir position when you guys or Lance were

poised to take it!"

The woman answered with a cold smile. It was evident that she was displeased. “It's s o unfair!"

At that moment, Lancelot had already arrived at Fane's place. Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом

Meanwhile, Fane had risen early. He now sat below a tree in the garden, sipping tea from his cup and

waiting for Lancelot.

“Greetings, Young Master Fane! I never thought that you'd be up this early!"
