At night, one side of the castle.

The glamorous and exquisite bedroom, at a glance, is the fragrant place of a young woman.

The air is filled with a faint rose aroma.

At the bay window, Vivi stares out, seemingly admiring the night view, but the eyes under her curled long eyelashes flicker uncertainly. Amidst excitement, there’s anticipation, as if she’s waiting for something.

Finally, there was a faint creak as the door opened.

A trusted maid walked to Vivi’s side and reported tonight’s matters between Si Yuheng and Liang Anya, then whispered: "... The Hall Master threw that Asian woman into the bedroom for confinement, saying she was not allowed to come out again without permission; it seems he truly got angry."

Vivi’s tight lips gradually relaxed after a whole night, lifting slightly into a satisfied smile, yet she frowned and looked at the maid: "Are the subordinates at the sentry post arranged?"

The maid nodded: "Rest assured, the subordinate on duty today is someone promoted by Chief Ryan. I’ve already given a heads-up, even if punished, he won’t talk everywhere."

Who knew that today, Liang Anya could successfully enter the private forest, all because Miss Vivi let the subordinate deliberately allow it?

Vivi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, turned her slender snow-white neck, and gazed at the beautiful night view, with unrestrained ease flashing across her charming face.

It seems that person has already met with Liang Anya.

****

From this day on, Liang Anya was confined in the room, no longer allowed downstairs.

Anyway, her foot injury wasn’t healed, so it didn’t matter; just as well to stay in the room to recuperate, without even going out of the bedroom door.

Evening came, another day passing.

After playing indoor golf in the multifunctional room, Si Yuheng’s face stayed as gloomy as the previous days, still looking bad. After loosening up the muscles, the door opened.

A trusted subordinate walked in: "Hall Master."

"Speak."

"Miss Liang has been very quiet in the room these few days, not clamoring to come out, nor asking Hall Master to let her out, occasionally chatting and laughing with Beth, in short... it’s as if nothing happened, very... very joyful."

Si Yuheng’s expression slightly changed, his thin lips showed coldness, his hand gripped the golf club tightly, and he lifted it, swung fiercely at the golf ball on the course!

Because of the excessive force, the golf ball veered off course and hit the multifunctional room’s wall with a bang.

The subordinate understood the Hall Master was losing his temper, feeling a bit startled inside but had to continue reporting: "... Also, according to Hall Master’s instructions, I inquired why Miss Liang could privately enter the forest that day; it was because the person on duty temporarily left, allowing Miss Liang to enter. This subordinate neglected his duty, I will teach him a good lesson..."

Though angry at that woman for leaving the castle and running into the forest without permission, after his temper subsided, Si Yuheng also had suspicions.

Near the forest entrance by the castle, Beiming Hall people guard 24/7.

Under normal circumstances, she couldn’t enter the forest, the subordinate on duty would surely stop her.

It turns out the one on duty left without authorization?

His face was shrouded in gloom, he hummed and swung another club, aiming at the other end of the indoor golf course: "No need to teach a lesson, dismiss him."

Dismiss... dismiss him?

The subordinate was shocked, knowing well the severity these two words imply.

Ever since Beiming Hall was washed clean, began cooperating with the domestic government and Royal Family, and turned to investing in legitimate industries, the Hall Master hasn’t issued such a deadly order in some time.

Moreover, the subordinate didn’t commit any major fault, just let Miss Liang out, and Miss Liang came back fine, no issue whatsoever.

Clearly, the Hall Master was extremely worried and angry about Miss Liang almost disappearing.

The subordinate dared not say anything: "Yes."

Si Yuheng tossed aside the club, grabbed a cold refreshing drink, gulped it down, and strode outside, heading back to the next-door bedroom.

After taking a shower, his whole body still felt fiery.

For some reason, he just couldn’t calm down.

Humph, very quiet, lazy to ask him to let her out, chatting and laughing with Beth...

That woman, seems very happy!

He opened the liquor cabinet, took out red wine and a glass, poured a small half cup, sat on the sofa, sipped a few mouthfuls, feeling increasingly restless, and called out.

A subordinate immediately pushed the door open: "Hall Master, what are your orders."

"Call Kasey here."

The subordinate was slightly surprised, the Hall Master hadn’t actively summoned Kasey and them for a long time, yet still respectfully replied: "Yes."

...

An hour later, the night deepened further.

Under the star-studded night sky like blue velvet, a black sedan leisurely drove into Beiming Hall’s area, then stopped at the castle entrance.

Si Yuheng’s trusted subordinate stepped forward, opened the car door, addressing the woman inside: "Miss Kasey, please. The Hall Master has been waiting for a long time."

Seeing that the Hall Master sent someone to fetch her, Kasey, beautifully dressed, extended her long legs from inside the car, her red high heels landing on the ground, feeling a bit puzzled: "What’s the Hall Master’s interest in having me come over tonight?"

Since letting Liang Anya and her daughter escape in China, the Hall Master hasn’t paid much attention to her.

Now, with Liang Anya in A Country, Kasey hasn’t had much opportunity to see the Hall Master either. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

No expectation that the Hall Master would still let her come.

The subordinate whispered a reminder: "The Hall Master is not in a good mood tonight, remember to serve him well."

Kasey also heard about Miss Liang sneaking into the forest a few days ago, roughly understanding the Hall Master must be angry at her.

Fate turns and turns, finally it’s Liang Anya’s unlucky turn?

Kasey smiled alluringly, nodded confidently, and followed the subordinate inside.

...

On the balcony, Beth was pulling the curtain by the floor-to-ceiling window, attracted by the dazzling car lights below and intermittent footsteps and voices, noticing Beiming Hall people bringing Kasey out of the car, gasping, her hand clutching the curtain pausing.

"Beth, what’s wrong?" Liang Anya had just coaxed Xiaoxiao to sleep, feeling a bit tired too, changed into pajamas, preparing to sleep, seeing Beth frozen on the balcony, seemingly attracted by something below.

"It’s nothing..." Beth hesitated. Miss Liang was being confined by the Hall Master, avoiding adding more troubling matters.

Liang Anya lifted the quilt, turned over, got out of bed, walked to the balcony, following Beth’s gaze downward.

Kasey, face full of spring breeze, dressed as if meeting royalty, followed behind Beiming Hall’s subordinate, heading inside.

That subordinate was the closest aide to Si Yuheng.

"Miss Liang..." Beth saw her witnessing the Hall Master receiving Kasey overnight, faltered a bit, fearing her unhappiness: "Kasey coming doesn’t necessarily mean anything... Perhaps the Hall Master sought her for other matters..."

"Other matters? Missing a fourth for mahjong, huh?" Liang Anya sneered, her laughter slightly freezing at the corners of her mouth.

At the same time, suddenly feeling a wave of fatigue surge, unclear if it was physical weariness or heaviness in the heart, anyway, just felt burdened.
