Chapter 332 Michaels Distress (1/2)

At that time, Amelia was overwhelmed with so much anxiety and it showed in her face. She quickly asked, ”What should I do?”

”It's fine, I'll go and check upstairs,” Michael replied while he stood up. He then added, ”Just stay here, I'll be back in a minute.”

Amelia simply nodded in agreement as she bit her lip, seemingly at odds with his decision.

Perhaps she might have been too naive to think that things would be simple from the very beginning. But now, it might have caused trouble for Michael.

Meanwhile, the air inside of Lucian's room felt cold. It might have been because of the silence between the people inside. It was so eerie that even the sound of a needle dropping on the floor would easily be heard.

Suddenly, Lucian heard a knock on the door and immediately asked the person to come in. At the same time, a smile made its way on his face.

Edmund noticed this and asked, ”Lucian, do you really have no intention of reconsidering what I just said?”

At that point, Michael had already come inside. He had a wide smile on his face when he saw Lucian, but when he looked toward Edmund, the smile on face quickly disappeared.

Michael then said, ”My apologies Lucian, I wouldn't have come in if I had known that you were busy with some business.”

”What business? You actually came at the right on time. Let's have a drink!” Lucian replied and raised his glass. He then proposed a toast to Michael, but before the man could respond, Lucian had already taken a sip of his beer.

Michael didn't know how to react to Lucian's actions. So instead, he greeted Edmund, as a sign of politeness. ”Hello, Mr. Edmund.”

His greeting made Edmund smile, but it was of a different kind. One that seemed like it was forced. ”What is it, Mr. Edmund? I'm feeling like a prisoner now,” Michael teasingly added.
