Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Thank You Anyway, Baron Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Thank You Anyway, Baron Nicholas Lawrence was rough but not foolish; moreover, no man in the Lawrence family was a fool.

Baron Lawrence claimed he was busy, but Nicholas needed no keen vision to see what “busy” meant. He furrowed his brow and said, “The matter you’re referring to is accompanying Miss Clark on a shopping trip?”

When Enna Clark returned, she was carrying bags; the only logical explanation was that they had gone shopping.

Old Master Lawrence was still lying in the hospital, and Nicholas did not approve of Baron Lawrence taking this time to leisurely date Enna Clark.

Baron Lawrence dodged the question and asked directly, “What business does Second Uncle have with me?”

This Second Uncle, due to reasons from the past, rarely stayed in Country W, visiting the castle only during the holidays to see the Old Man.

Therefore, if it wasn’t for something important, he wouldn’t have come looking.

As for what it was, he already had an idea.

Nicholas Lawrence knew Baron didn’t want to talk about Enna’s issue, and with a frown no longer persisted on that point. His rough features faintly showed the dashing quality of his youth, but the fine lines around his eyes betrayed the fatigue of recent days; he rubbed his temples and asked, “How do you plan to handle Skye?”

“Has the man from Elysion confessed?” Baron Lawrence countered.

Nicholas Lawrence’s lips tightened slightly, and he spoke with restraint, “Yes, he confessed. Skye did it.”

It had never crossed his mind that Skye would do something to Baron…

Nicholas Lawrence’s gaze towards Baron Lawrence was complex, with bitterness written all over his eyes and brows.

No wonder Old Master Lawrence had been insisting that Skye marry soon; with the Old Master’s judgment, he must have seen through her long ago.

To save face for Skye, he had not exposed her directly.

Recalling that he had previously quarreled with the Old Master over this matter, Nicholas felt indescribably complicated.

“I plan to have Skye marry as soon as possible, and after the wedding, move to Country S to live. If unnecessary, she need not return.” Nicholas Lawrence was not someone who couldn’t tell right from wrong; deep down, he certainly wanted to protect Skye Lawrence, but mistakes were mistakes, and once made, they must be faced with consequences.

Baron Lawrence narrowed his hawk-like eyes, deep in thought, and after a while, he picked up the coffee in front of him, “I can choose not to pursue this matter, but this is the last time.”

He didn’t know whether Nicholas had guessed that the Old Man’s issue was also related to Skye Lawrence.

But since he had said it was like exiling Skye to Country S, it seemed he had guessed something.

Nicholas had indeed guessed it; if he hadn’t, merely for the kidnapping of Enna Clark, he wouldn’t have decided to move Skye to Country S, let alone never to return. He had not only guessed about the Old Master being poisoned but also discovered a secret… that absolutely could not continue.

Nicholas Lawrence said in a heavy voice, “I know.”

As he spoke, he stood up, his stern gaze revealing guilt as he swallowed hard, seeming to have suppressed his emotions for a long time before finally saying, “I know you feel that I have been too indulgent with Skye on this matter, I have my unspeakable reasons. Even if the Old Master wakes up, he would let her off for the same reason.”

He paused, his stern features softening, and said in a hoarse voice, “But still, thank you, Baron.”

Old Master Lawrence holds an extraordinary significance for Baron Lawrence.

Enna Clark also holds an unparalleled significance for Baron Lawrence.

With Skye having targeted both individuals, he could imagine Baron Lawrence’s fury. Yet, even in such anger, Baron agreed to his handling of the matter, leaving Nicholas with a feeling of relief that was hard to express.
