Kendrick noticed an abnormality in Shirley’s tone. “What’s the matter? Just tell me.”
Shirley looked at Kendrick’s stern face and pressed her lips together lightly. She then said, “Carter will be bringing Niamh to register their marriage tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Kendrick’s face suddenly changed. His heart was fraught with apprehension, making his heartbeat turbulent, but he still stabilized his emotions.
Last time, Carter had tried to marry Niamh and registered their marriage.
This time, he wanted to do it again.
“He really knows how to exact his vengeance on me.” Kendrick laughed softly and a faint light overflowed from the depths of his charming eyes.
“No, it’s not just for revenge.”
Shirley’s answer confused Kendrick.
He looked at Shirley, and Shirley quickly gave him the answer.
“While I don’t know what value Eveline has, Carter wants to register his marriage with Eveline so that he can use Eveline, allowing him to successfully obtain the royal inheritance.”
Use her.
These two words sounded especially harsh when they fell into Kendrick’s ears.
Carter wanted to use his Nia to kill two birds with one stone. This man was truly calculative.
However, Kendrick still could not understand how Carter could smoothly obtain the royal inheritance after his marriage registration with Niamh.
Did Niamh have anything to do with the royal family of St. Piaf?
“The previous wedding between him and Eveline was disrupted by your appearance. I believe that this time, he won’t give you the opportunity to ruin it again.”
Shirley’s words contained a reminder, and she said it with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
“I know him too well. He would really do anything to get the desired result. Those harmful poisons are the best evidence for that.
“Kendrick, I know that, in your heart, you still find me nauseating, but I hope you can remember what I said. Don’t face Carter head-on at any given time. You have to remember that Eveline needs you.”
It was rare for Kendrick to see the sincerity in Shirley’s eyes. At this moment, he was convinced that she was being sincere.
When he was about to speak, however, the door was pushed open rudely.
Carter’s bodyguard strode towards Kendrick with a dark expression.
Shirley quickly operated her wheelchair before Kendrick to shield him.
“Who let you into my room? Get out.” Shirley sternly drove the bodyguard away.
The bodyguard stopped abruptly. Despite his displeasure, he did not dare to provoke Shirley.
“Miss Brown, I’m here for Mr. Waldburg as per Mr. Carter’s intention. I hope you won’t make things hard for me.”
“I’m making things hard for you?” Shirley asked. “If I told him that you suddenly came in and disturbed my rest, do you think Carter wouldn’t immediately ask someone to throw you out of the manor?”
“…” The bodyguard’s face froze, evidently afraid of what Shirley said.
“Forget it, I’ll go out with him. You should rest well.” Kendrick stepped forward carefreely.
Shirley still wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, it would be meaningless anyway.
As she looked at Kendrick’s back figure, she could not help but warn him again.
“Kendrick, remember the last two sentences I said.” Kendrick paused briefly, then looked back at Shirley.
He did not speak, but his gentle eyes already expressed his gratitude.
Shirley stayed in place. She felt touched.
She had not expected that one day, Kendrick would forgive her and thank her.
She smiled, part self-deprecating, part relieved. This might be life, her life as Shirley Brown.
Kendrick followed the bodyguard to the back garden of Gray Manor, but as soon as he reached the center of the back garden, Kendrick felt that something was not right behind him.
He looked back and saw tall and burly bodyguards in black had quickly surrounded him.
Kendrick understood instantly.
“Mr. Waldburg, I heard that you are very good with your fists. My boys would like to witness it and learn from you, but of course, we’ll stop when it gets too much.”
The bodyguard in lead took off his jacket as he spoke.
Kendrick could see the triumphant expression on the bodyguard’s face, as well as the gleeful faces of the bodyguards watching this scene unfold. He knew that they would not stop if it got too much.
Furthermore, they were not learning from him— these people might even take his life.
“Mr. Waldburg, are you ready?” The bodyguard seemed to be itching to get on with it. “Apart from me, my boys are also waiting in line to learn from you.” Kendrick smiled slightly when he heard the words. He raised his deep cold eyes and glanced at them lightly. “Don’t wait, then. All of you, come at me.”
Kendrick was not trying to boast when he said that. He knew his own ability.
He did not deny that Carter’s bodyguards must also be of some skill, but he was more convinced that none of these people were a match for him.
Upon hearing what Kendrick said, the bodyguards felt extremely insulted.
Did he want them to fight him all at once? He was clearly looking down on them!
They wanted to see how strong the young master of Glendale’s most powerful family was to be able to say speak so shamelessly.
“Go!”
The leading bodyguard ordered, and several other bodyguards immediately rushed forward.
Before making a move, they were very confident that Kendrick was definitely not their match.
Even if Kendrick truly had this ability, there was strength in numbers, after all.
However, after making a move, they found that they had been wrong and that they had been overthinking it.
Kendrick was not only agile and quick, but the speed of his attacks far exceeds theirs.
After a few rounds, they had already lost one -half of their people.
Kendrick, however, was still unscathed. They could not even harm a corner of his shirt.
This man was definitely not someone they could take down easily!
At this time, the leading bodyguard raised his hand and wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. As he looked at Kendrick, who still looked noble and elegant, various emotions of reluctance and discomfort were kept surging in the bodyguard’s heart.
They had said they would stop when it got too much, but they did actually intend to kill Kendrick this whole time.
If Kendrick were dead, so many troubles could be solved.
Kendrick did not understand what these people were thinking, but he glanced at the weak men in front of him indifferently and then set his gaze, as calm as water, on the face of the embarrassed bodyguard.
“Do you still want to continue? If you still want to continue, I can accompany you.”
The bodyguard gritted his blood-stained teeth, and his gaze darkened. “It’s too soon for you to be feeling proud, Kendrick Waldburg.”
“Heh.”
Kendrick chuckled disapprovingly.
“Proud? You people are the ones who seemed pleased with yourself. Ever since I entered this manor, I’ve always been passive. Carter has left the manor temporarily, yet he asked you lackeys to keep an eye on me, isn’t that right?”
“W—What did you say? We are all elite bodyguards of Gray Manor. How dare you call us lackeys?!”
“Aren’t you?” Kendrick lightly shifted his gaze and he gently parted his thin lips. “Fortunately, you’re all dogs sincere to your master. Carter didn’t raise you in vain.”
“Kendrick Waldburg, you…”
The bodyguard in lead was immediately enraged.
He raised his fist and swung at Kendrick with all his strength, but before his fist could reach Kendrick, it was grabbed by Kendrick’s strong palm.
Furious, the bodyguard wanted to break free using brute force and continue attacking Kendrick, but he was unsuccessful as Kendrick pushed him far away.
The bodyguard staggered several steps back, nearly losing his footing.
He then steadied his center of gravity and attacked Kendrick again.
Kendrick, who could no longer be bothered with him, pulled the bodyguard’s outstretched and simply gave him a shoulder throw.
