"It''s not your fault, my lord." Bernard shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

    "It was only because Sir Charles was too shameless," Chulmo muttered under his breath.

    "Chulmo!" Bernard sent him a stern look.

    "It''s fine. Sir Chulmo is right. My uncle has been acting shamelessly these past few months." Alaric indifferently said.@@@@

    He had been holding back this whole time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike his uncle. However, the latter had repeatedly touched his bottom line.

    I can''t wait anymore. I should deal with this tumor now!

    Chulmo and Bernard sensed the sudden change in his emotion, but they didn''t dare say anything. This matter was related to the direct bloodline of House Silversword so they had no power to intervene.

    "Don''t worry. I will make sure that he will be punished. Just stay here and recuperate." Alaric''s words stunned the two Knights.

    "My lord, you might offend Sir Charles if you do this." Chulmo worriedly responded.

    "Chulmo is right, my lord. It''s not worth it to offend Sir Charles for our sake." Bernard added.

    Charles Silversword held an important role in House Silversword. His faction was mostly responsible for protecting the businesses of the household. If something happened to him, there would be severe repercussions. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

    "Offend him?" Alaric chuckled while shaking his head.

    "I''m going to destroy him!" He muttered in a cold voice.

    The two Knights gasped at his words.

    Alaric didn''t stay there for long. After saying a few more words and reminding them to rest well, he left the clinic with Aldrin.

    "My lord, I didn''t mean to eavesdrop, but I heard what you guys were talking about. Are you really going to make a move on Sir Charles?" Aldrin had a solemn look.

    This matter was too big and it was bound to shake the foundations of House Silversword. One wrong move and the entire household might even collapse.

    "It''s about time to clean up the household." Alaric calmly replied.

    Aldrin took a deep breath.

    At first, they were still nonchalantly reading the contents, but the more they read, the more serious they became.

    "This is..." Lucas''s expression changed.

    Meanwhile, Maria had a look of disbelief.

    The two read the rest of the documents and by the time they read everything, their faces had turned dark.

    "Are all the things written here true?" Lucas put down the last document he had read as he looked at Alaric with a grim face.

    "Yes." Alaric nodded. "I have been gathering this information since I started discovering some unusual things about Uncle.

    Lucas rubbed his temples and leaned on his seat. The things he learned today were too much for him to handle.

    "What about this? You mentioned here that you suspect that your Uncle would poison your father, but you don''t have evidence to back this claim." Maria pointed at a specific document where Alaric had written his speculations.

    "That''s true, but I have thought of a way for us to know if my speculations are correct." Alaric already had a plan in mind. He was just unable to execute it because he had been so busy recently.

    "Tell us your plan." Lucas stared deeply at him.

    Alaric glanced at them and said. "Let''s announce that we will be hiring a new maidservant who will take care of father''s meals."

    Hearing this, Maria raised his eyebrows. "Are you planning to lure your Uncle in this trap?"

    "That''s right." Alaric nodded. "If my guess is right, then he will definitely take the chance to bring one of his own people to Dad''s side."

    Maria pondered deeply. His plan was feasible, but it also carried some risks.

    "Let''s do it," Lucas muttered.

    "Are you sure about this?" Maria stared at her husband with concern.

    "I want to see if my brother really intends to kill me," Lucas replied with a heavy look.

    Lucas had always thought that his brother was someone he could trust. He had given Charles everything he needed so he felt betrayed after knowing all the dirty deeds he had done behind his back.

    He finally realized why Alaric was unusually hostile towards Charles. It turned out that his son already knew the truth a long time ago.
