Chapter 1253 Mysterious Figure

The glasshouse was located right in the center of the garden and had a design similar to that of a birdcage. Inside, there were many rare plants including those that could be made into priceless medicinal concoctions.

One of the building’s highlights was the fact that it was covered with roses. Hence, one couldn’t really see what was going on inside.

On his way there, Geoffrey avoided everyone. It wasn’t until he was certain that the coast was clear that he quickly sneaked into the glasshouse.

The moment he entered, he was greeted by the sight of a blond man dressed in black. With his back facing Geoffrey, the man was admiring the contents of the glasshouse.

“Tsk, there are rare and precious orchids… And yet, there are just so many of them in here. Vinson lives a very good life indeed.”

The man was speaking in a language that Geoffrey didn’t understand. He could only identify it as not being Ustranasion.

Obviously, what the figure said wasn’t important. Or else, he wouldn’t be speaking in such a language.

“Ahem!” Geoffrey cleared his throat before walking up to him.

“Mister…”

Geoffrey approached awkwardly. “May I know if my wife and child-”

“Hush!” The man turned around to reveal the silver mask covering his face.

Nevertheless, Geoffrey could clearly see that he had blue eyes. Evidently, he wasn’t Chanaean.

Geoffrey remembered the last person who met him had eyes of a different color. Hence, he wondered if this man was their leader.

Before Geoffrey had time to think, the man pointed at a rainbow-colored rose and remarked, “Does Mrs. Nightshire like roses?”

Stunned, Geoffrey answered instinctively, “I’m not really sure.”

“Hmm?” The man narrowed his gaze as displeasure filled his eyes.

Gulping in terror, Geoffrey replied at once, “She probably doesn’t like flowers, for I have never seen Mr. Nightshire giving them to her. Moreover, she has never bought any for herself.”

“I see.” The man fell into deep thought.

Geoffrey couldn’t resist asking, “About my wife and child-”

Before he could finish, the man interrupted him again, “The woman that was brought home last night. Did she sleep here?”

Geoffrey finally realized that he needed to feed the man with useful information before he could ascertain the safety of his family.

Given that Geoffrey had worked at the Nightshire manor for decades and watched Vinson grow up, he felt tormented by his guilt for betraying the latter.

However, when he thought of his wife and son, he had no choice but to reply, “Yes, Ms. Little stayed overnight here.”

“What else?”

Geoffrey gave it some thought before adding, “When Mrs. Nightshire knew Mr. Vinson brought a woman home, she wanted to kick the woman out of the house. However, Mr. Vinson stopped her instead. Feeling upset, Ms. Arielle slept separately from Mr. Vinson in the first-floor guest room.”

“Slept separately?” The masked man beamed underneath his mask, delighted by the news.

“Yes.” Geoffrey swallowed his saliva and continued, “Both of them seem to be in conflict, sparking tension in the atmosphere. My guess is that Mr. Nightshire brought the lady home to get on Mrs. Nightshire’s nerves.”

“And then?”

“And then…” Despite racking his brains, Geoffrey shook his head. “There nothing else that’s out of the ordinary. As for Ms. Little-”

“I don’t want to know about the affairs of those who are irrelevant.” The man raised his hand to stop Geoffrey. “Your wife and son are safe at the moment. Nonetheless, their return will depend on how much more information you can provide me.”
