Chapter 493 - SECRETS: PART IV (1/2)

Elder Lord Knigthley smiled innocently as he responded, ”Aren't you going to invite me in?”

Professor Neil wasn't in the mood to serve the old man tea at this hour s since was busy working on what the Young Princess asked him. Who would have thought the old man would suddenly be interested in getting involved with his granddaughter's situation. When he has always been watching from the shadows just like him.

”Fine, let's go.”

The two headed to his office where Elder Lord Knightley noticed the pile of books piled on the man's desk. He could only smile because he already knew what those books are all about. He may have never visited the old library, but he was aware of what types of books are hidden away there. Just like his granddaughter, he too was curious about the place and had ventured around and discovered some of their family secrets thanks to the library.

”So, has she remembered?” Elder Lord Knightley asked as he checked the books on the old man's desk.

”Who knows…” Professor Neil replied as he started boiling the electric kettle to prepare their tea. ”Seeing she does not even know my own name, seems like she really lost her memory.”

”You mean someone played around with her memory.” Elder Lord Knightley responded without sugarcoating his words and expressed how much he despised what happened. ”Seems like those b*stard have lost their mind.”

”Hmm, don't say that.” He responded as he put some tea leaves on the teapot whilst contemplating about the man's words.

”I'm not a fool, my son may be keeping things from us in fear that something might happen. But remember, I am still the head of this family.”

”You mean the patriarch.” He sighs as he poured the water on the pot and carried the drinks to the table. ”Seat, stop touching those.” He demanded as he didn't want any of the work he had done go to waste.

”I'm sure you agree with me. Only those b*stard can do such a thing to my granddaughter.” Elder Lord Knightley continues to protest about the involvement of the major family with Elizabeth's situation.

”We don't know that yet…”

”Ha- I ain't a fool. Then why are you checking on them if they aren't involved.”

”That's none of your concern.”

”Well, technically it does since it has something to do with my granddaughter. So stop being such an *ss, I ain't that old to be played around with.”

Professor Neil didn't say anything as he served tea to the old man. As he finished pouring tea for both of them, he took a sip of his tea first before answering. ”Since you already know, finish your tea and leave.”

”Fine, just tell me. What did she ask you about?”

”You already know the answer.” He responded whilst glancing briefly at the old man as he continued enjoying his tea.

”I know, but specifically, which family was she interested in?” Elder Lord Knigthley put down his tea as he aggressively asked.

”Well, she didn't ask anything specific, but she was curious about one thing which surprised me.”

”Why? Does it have something to do with them?”

”Hmm…”

”Good Lord, what has our family done to be in such a situation.” Elder Lord Knightley regretted asking and he now realizes things are about to go downhill for all of them. ”Then, she must think they are involved with them? Since...”

”I think not,” He answered right away without even letting the old man to explain.
